  1. I wonder how long people will think Howard is good. Bert was extolling his run producing abilities before the game.

    1. And last night Bert was extolling Michael Young's defensive abilities. It's all relative.

  2. So my softball game was "rained out" tonight because the field was underwater. It's too bad because one of my teammates is brothers with a reliever for the Tigers, and Detroit just got to town. We would have had a serious ringer.

  3. Dick Bremer talking about when he was a kid, the kids of the town would get hand me down bats and have to wrap up cracked bats with electrical tape.
    Funny, I did the same thing when I was a kid except it was duct tape.

    1. Also, you all need something to take your mind off of the unpleasant way that last inning ended.

    2. what is controversial about the false positive paradox? And why is it a paradox? It seems pretty obvious that there would be a lot of rare conditions that, if we tested randomly (without respect to symptoms), a lab test would have a pretty good chance of producing more false positives than true positives.

      1. Well, most people would say if you had a test that was 99% accurate that if you tested positive, that you'd probably have the disease--not that you were still highly unlikely to have it.

    3. Hey, let's start a three-day flame war on the Monty Hall problem!
      I've seen it happen other places. (Okay, we don't do flame wars here: three day debate?)

      That really should be in there with politics as a topic verboten in polite company.

  4. Bert did just call the pitcher "Slavery," right? I'm not imagining that...

  5. Heh. Mauer would've thrown it square in Escobar's back and gotten the interference call.

      The Replacements announce their first concerts in 22 years on the same day Clete Thomas goes 4-for-4. #locusts

  6. Just like we all expected, Mike Pelfrey pitched a fine game and Clete Thomas got four hits to lead the Twins to victory. It's a simple plan, but effective. We're still on track for 129-33!

  7. I think it's hilarious that, despite having four hits, Clete had some of the ugliest swings (outside of Michael Young's in the eighth). Clete apparently will not get cheated and is going to swing ridiculously hard at everything.

    1. ESPN's crawl last night did not include Trader Clete's 4-4 game as a highlight of the Twins's win, mentioning Arcia for the Twins and Revere for the Phils.
