I'm trying to weigh the possible reasons for the lessening of civility on planes between the people wearing their pajamas on planes and our current leader who wears a lot of suits and just told someone on a plane, "Quiet, Piggy!"

Dave Studenmund of Hardball Times fame has updated his baseballgraphs.com project. If you are that kind of baseball fan it might be worth a look. Not updated for 2025 yet.

I've been the treasurer of a mainline protestant church in the past, and I can assure you we've been champing at the bit to make big IT investments. Blockchain, AI, all of it. We've got so much budget for this stuff.

Every mound should come equipped with a rosin bag, a resin bag, and a raisin bag for when the pitcher really needs a snack

How does one get in and out of this stadium? will it be built on top of 200 elevators?

The newspapers don't have investigative reporters on their sports desks any longer. Most remaining websites have systematically hollowed out their reporting infrastructure. The TV shows that did reporting have been canceled. And whatever remains is in bed with the betting industry.

The most points in any quarter in a debut. Jake Layman with 17 in garbage time in 2016. LOL (since 1995-96 when we have pbp data) www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/pb...
