New Cubs outfielder Alfonso Soriano rang in the New Year with a newborn baby boy.

 

Soriano and his wife, Angelica, welcomed their third child and second son when Angel entered the world Wednesday at a Miami hospital.

 

Congrats to Alfonso and his family

The kid is named after Angel Guzman. That's some serious team chemistry. :roll:

Which clearly means we're winning the World Series, because, as we all know, chemistry begets winning, not the other way around, as some of you "statisticians" and "scientists" and "sabermetricians" who always insist on "empirical evidence" and "observable behavior" and "causal relationships" and all that other crap keep claiming.

 

 

DISCLAIMER: please don't interpret this as as invitation to argue chemistry again.

From the comments in a post on Fire Joe Morgan:

 

December 1988. Little ten-year-old dak is crunching his first ever set of VORR's (Value Over Replacement Relative). Crude calculations, sure, but enough to get the job done.

 

First number: Mom. Comes out to 0.0. "That can't be right," dak says to himself.

 

Next up: Dad. 0.1. "Huh?" Sis: 0.0. "What the?" Uncle Larry: -0.1. "Really?"

 

I go back over the numbers. Everything looks right to me. Somehow, the numbers I was getting suggested that my relatives were a lot more like replacement relatives than real relatives.

 

And believe it or not, that's when I realized I was adopted.
