Why can't the Cubs just be good? That was so [expletive] fun last night.

It's cute how Kyle wants to be Nate Silver's nemesis. It's like desperate Nixon ranting at the portrait of JFK in the White House.

Man, I don't want that at all. I want the Cubs to be so good they handily cruise into the playoffs.

Matt Moore starting for the Rays tomorrow wow

The 0.3% chance of the Red Sox missing the playoffs on Sept. 3 includes the specific way of missing the playoffs that happened. You cannot multiply that percentage with the others, it is misleading

 

I agree, and Nate alluded to that in the first sentence. I was just calling out Kyle.

 

He didn't allude to it, he said it wasn't rigorous math. It wasn't that the math wasn't rigorous, it was flat out wrong, and pretty surprising coming from Silver.

Nemesis? It's more like a lover's spat. Where one of the lovers is awesome and the other is a creepy stalker.
