Ugh. I can hardly describe how indifferent I am. The Rockies and Brewers are 2 teams from minor markets that I rarely even notice. The Brewers will send forth Brandon Woodruff (R, 3 – 0, 3.61 ERA) against the Rockies’ Antonio Senzatela (R, 6 – 6, 4.38 ERA). Three days of agony at least, when …

Scary for White Men
I don’t get it. I don’t get it at all. Mike Barnicle, I’m looking right at you. Joe Scarborough has already had a dead intern, what’s your excuse? JOE SCARBOROUGH: The party leadership that was too smart to use polls in 2016, that they just had algorithms that they would follow, that they were leaving …

Finite Universes
One thing you learn if you do statistics is that if you slice the data fine enough you wind up with a limited pool that represents… Well, everybody who qualifies for your screener, like White Males who voted for Trump. Why do you think Google and Amazon and Facebook can target market you? 1,700 and …

2018 Junior League Wild Card: Athletics @ Yankees
Ok, so my beloved Metropolitans once again did not make the big dance and the underdog Cubbies (108 years folks) have disappeared from radar. Is there no hope for the widow’s son (Richard was alive and kicking 10 minutes ago). Oh, those guys in the Bronx. What were their names again? That’s right, Damn Yankees. …

Class Traitor
In case you don’t get it by now, I’m very White and very privileged. It may seem on these pages that I spend my life apologizing for it but the truth is not so much, I mostly hardly notice and just accept my state of grace. I do sense that from a standpoint of fairness …

2018 Senior League Wild Card: Rockies @ Cubs
One or done, the Rockies meet the Cubs tonight in a Wild Card game. I have almost nothing nice to say about the Rockies other than they’re not quite as objectionable as some (looking right at you Dodgers) whereas the Cubbies are lovable losers who are now on the rise in addition to being one …

Weird Science
Ok, so you probably know by now that I’m a computer tech and strange stuff pops up in my YouTube feed constantly including Self-Help and Psychiatric videos as well as goofy things (Cartnoon). I blame Anna Akana who in addition to being a very funny actor trying to get visible in Southern California has a …
