Open Thread II: Game 154 - A's @ Anahangeles Angels of Los Osos

131476_athletics_rangers_baseball_large_medium


Thusfar it's Kennedy, not Kendrick or Kendry, taking the helm -- Adam is taking it to his former team on both sides of the ball and despite the best CF efforts of Torii Hunter, gatherer (and with a niiiice two-out knock from Daric Barton) we're 2-0 A's with Gio sailing beautifully along through 5 1/2.

True story

I had a friend in Iowa – her initials were ASM. She married a guy whose last name started with S. Several of us tried to convince her to drop her middle name once she married and take her maiden name as her new middle name, but she was adamant about keeping things as-is. I should’ve got them a set up monogrammed towels: TAS and ASS.

YES

The Magic Number is one! One more A’s win (or Rangers win) will guarantee the slegnA don’t clinch against us this weekend.

I know....I just don't have the mental stamina to try to really GET them

Of course it might have something to do with the fact that I flunked Stats the first time I took it…..but of course going to class might have helped!!

for my final report in an experimental stats class

I did monte carlo (repeat simulations) using the 2002-2007 A’s teams. It made me appreciated a) how use they can be and b) how flawed some of what i looked at actually was

it wasn't really complicated

the program to do all of it was written in 1985 or something. just plugging in a lot of numbers
