Today at THT


My 11th grade trigonometry teacher made a secret deal with me: he promised to give me Cs if I promised not to sign up for his AP Calculus class my senior year. It was a fabulous tradeoff, and since then math and I have respected this non-agression pact to the letter. Thankfully we have guys like Colin Wyers and Tom Tango around to pick up the slack:

  • Colin does all sorts of unspeakable things to Microsoft Excel in an effort to determine whether preventing a run and scoring a run contribute equally to winning a ballgame;


  • Tangotiger furthers the Tim-Raines-is-a-Hall-of-Famer argument by comparing him to various leadoff hitters, number three hitters, and Hall of Famers, concluding "[a]ny time we compare Raines to a reasonable group of Hall of Famers, we always end up with the same thing: Raines is just like them." That's great and all, but tell me Tom: how much was he feared? Yeah, I thought so.


  • Meanwhile, over at Fantasy Focus, Jonathan Halket talks about why keeper leagues kinda suck. Sounds like someone had a bad draft his first year. As Roy Hobbs said, some mistakes in life you never stop paying for, Jon.

    For you early risers


    I tend to get stuff going really early around here. Some days, however, the kids don't cooperate. Today is one of those days, as my son has decided to wake up at 5:30AM. Kids > blogging in the Calcaterra household, so posting will be delayed this morning. It happens.
