Just for the heck of it, I’m pulling out my college football top 10 and NFL notes for the week and putting them into their own post. It makes me feel better about not having as much original stuff to post, I’ll admit, but it’s also a good way to start some discussion and prepare […]
Month: September 2007
Weekly Notes: September 27, 2007
I know it’s Thursday, but I thought I would change things up and do a regular notes post today, leaving football notes for tomorrow. It’s also an appropriate change to make heading into basketball season, when I will need to listen to plenty of Thursday night games for Friday game reviews. Let’s see how it works. […]
NL Playoff Scenarios
Apparently the Braves are still in this thing, with both the Mets and Padres collapsing in the past week, so let’s look at what could happen over the last five days of the regular season. The Teams All three NL division races are in play, with the leaders (New York, Chicago, Arizona) all holding two-game […]
Braves Check: Can the Braves win the NL Central instead, please?
The Braves are a game back of Chicago for first place in the NL Central after a big week that included a sweep of the Marlins and three more wins against the Brewers. What? You mean they’re still in the NL East? Fine. They’re 5.5 out and within a day or two from being mathematically […]
Friday Notes: September 21, 2007
Now it’s time for all the stuff that wasn’t really worthy of an entire post this week: I’ve decided to start keeping my own college football top 10, mostly because I have a Facebook app that requires me to do so. Well, maybe it beckons me to do so, rather than requires. Still, here it […]
Organization: Getting ready for basketball season
I know there are two months between now and the start of the college basketball season, but for me, that means it’s time to start thinking about what changes I want to make to improve this site’s coverage of Harding basketball. Usually, the first thing that means is that I have to decide how I […]
Braves Check: Finally, a complete game
With only two weeks left in the season, the Braves starting rotation finally pitched their first complete game of the season, courtesy of Tim Hudson. Complete games aren’t worth more than regular games, though, and the Braves are still 5.5 back in the wild card race (7.5 in the division). There are now five teams […]
Friday Notes: September 14, 2007
I only have a few things to discuss before you spend the weekend glued to your TV: Saturday morning, before the college football schedule gets underway, East Brainerd Church of Christ is hosting the Walk for Honduras at Pointe Corporate Center in Chattanooga. Aside from allowing me the opportunity to break some kind of record for […]
ESPN Win Probability and the Braves
Today I was planning on posting my monthly meta analysis, just as I have planned to do all week. Things just keep coming up, though, and this is the latest. As it turns out, this post is also the latest in a series of posts about the concept of Win Probability and its treatment in the mainstream media. I’m […]
Thoughts on football analysis and another FO/TMQ plug
I know it’s not evident by the volume of posts about baseball and basketball, but I really don’t favor those sports over football to such a great degree. This is mostly a result of my interest in statistical analysis, which is profoundly more difficult for football than the other sports. For baseball, I can grab what I […]
