  • Erie Canal Remix and Crazy Dance [ER]

    This American Life from Jeff Carpenter on Vimeo. A song in a short This American Life segment gets an interesting treatment. I love the song and the video’s alright too.

  • Only One Game: Yesterday’s Scores That Matter [WMQ]

    Only one game (that I care about (and barely)) on the docket yesterday. 14 June NPB Nothing MLB Baltimore Orioles (2) at San Francisco Giants (10). Much touted prospect Chris Tillman does not deliver salvation for the Orange Birds as they continue to plummet into the vast depths of baseball with their 30-game deficit from […]

  • Strasburg Pitches Again: The Weekend’s Scores That Matter [Wednesday Morning Quarterback]

    Strasburg pitched again and it wasn’t quite as magical, but part of that was due to a bad mound. He still has a sub 3.00 ERA (2.19) and struck out another eight. Rock on Strasburg. 11 June NPB Nada. MLB New York Mets (5) at Baltimore Orioles (1). Back-to-back series against the two New York […]

  • New Employees [Embedded Reporter]

    Rooster Teeth has been growing, but can they sustain the growth?

  • Never Hire a Sim Doctor [ER]

  • Attendance Drops a Bit: Yesterday’s Scores That Matter [WMQ]

    Pittsburgh debuted some rookies last night too. The Nationals crowd of about 18,000 was not impressed. 10 June NPB Chunichi Dragons (7) at Rakuten Eagles (2). Wei-Yin Chen Tossed six scoreless with five strikeouts as the Dragons got revenge. Rakuten’s record slides to 29-31-1 in fifth. Hiroshima Carp (12) at Chiba Lotte Marines (7). Eric […]

  • Abe Is My Homeboy: Yesterday’s Scores That Matter [WMQ]

    For some reason Abe has become my favorite of the racing presidents. Maybe it’s his arrogant stride or maybe it’s the way he’s a sore loser when he doesn’t win, but I just love everything about the persona they’ve crafted for #16. 09 June NPB Chunichi Dragons (1) at Rakuten Eagles (4). Satoshi Nagai hurls […]

  • Basically… [Uncat]

    Last year Min ruined my life by telling me that “basically”, “essentially”, and their synonymous brethren were big no-nos in the debate world because they’re often used as filler words with little to no meaning. Already sensitive about the fact that I say “like” too much, I now had one more thing to worry about […]

  • I Can’t Defeat Air Man [ER]

    PS: It’s in Japanese. Trust me, it’s better that way. I love it, so J-Pop. PPS: Air Man is not really that hard. Wood Man is even easier. If you really want it in English:

  • Strasburg [Wednesday Morning Quarterback]

    It’s the debut everyone was talking about, Stephen Strasburg, and I was there. Seated near the field, just past first base, I had a chance to really see the vertical break on his pitches and their effects on batters. 4-Seam Fastball This is the one everyone has heard of. Strasburg regularly broke 100 mph with […]
