Winning vs Losing
Fans of the 2004 Red Sox: On drinking Jack Daniels shots before game 6 of the ALCS and every game of the World Series.
”We love them! That’s bad ass. Dirty Dogs!”
Fans of the 2011 Red Sox: On drinking beer in the clubhouse
“Degenerates! Get them off the team!”
I know the difference, it’s just funny to me.
he didn’t break my heart…he just made me look at relationships differently.
Let’s get this out of the way quickly: Moneyball was not a book about nerds and statistics and butterball catchers who do nothing but walk—not really. It was a book about the temporarily misperceived value of nerds and statistics and butterball catchers who do nothing but walk and, above all, about how to profit off that misperception. Which is to say that, at bottom, Moneyball was a book about a charismatic visionary (Oakland Athletics general manager Billy Beane) who achieved success by exploiting market inefficiencies. This is a conceit known as Every Business Book Ever. The guy sitting next to you on an airplane is reading a book like that. Malcolm Gladwell farts books like that. Moneyball told a simple story and told it wonderfully, but baseball being what it is—a game so thoroughly wrapped in its own bullshit that you’d need a grand jury to find its soul—the book was received as heresy.

Sometimes idealism can get a bad rap. That it means just being positive all the time— or worse, being naïve. But idealism is incredibly practical. It’s about seeing things as they are, imagining things as they could be, and taking real and practical steps to turn what is into what could and should be.

New Englanders are so cute with their hurricane anxiety. So folks, here’s a little present from the Floridian who has done this routine once or twice… & I promise it’ll make the whole hurricane weekend that much more fun. Go turn on your local news or weather channel, fill up your drinks & play along with the coverage of Hurricane Irene
Hurricane Drinking Game Rules:
Drink two swigs every time someone sitting comfortably at the CNN studio tells newscaster in the elements to stay safe.
Drink anytime the newscaster says “hunkering down” or “hoping for the best, preparing for the worst”
One swig every time they switch to newscaster braving a 60 mile per hour wind.
Two swigs every time they interview a surfer or someone who decided to “ride it out” after the mandatory evacuation was issued.
Two swigs every time they switch to newscaster in a 70 mile per hour wind.
Three swigs every time they switch to newscaster in a 80 or higher mile per hour wind.
One swig every time a newscaster says devastate, devastates, devastation, devastating, or devastated.
Five swigs every time the newscaster says: “Whoa. We haven’t seen anything like this since Ivan.”
One swig every time the newscaster provides the obligatory warning for people along the coast to be extremely cautious while they are out getting hammered by wind and rain.
Many squeals came from my mouth! SO CUTE, YOU GUYS! SO CUTE!
