actually watching games

Post by Hawk » Fri May 14, 2010 9:33 am

I am lifelong Yankee fan and love watching baseball. If there is a game on, I'll have it on in the background while I read, surf the net, whatever. If it's a Yankee that's game on, I'm normally on a Yankee message board debating something or another.

I'm just teasing Bjoak. I guess I was the one stealing without realizing.



I'm anxious to read Moneyball again 5 years later to see how the fortunes of the players now effects my reading of it. No doubt it is cherry-picked to a large extent.
We drove 22 miles, country around Farmington. Signs started appearing. THE MOST PHOTOGRAPHED BARN IN AMERICA. Cars,tour bus,cameras;postcards sold.

No one sees the barn,

They are taking pictures of taking pictures

[/QUOTE]Moneyball came first so technically Omar's actions as Mets GM basically confirmed what Billy Beane and the author of Moneyball thought about him. LOL!
