Today, I want to cover a couple of little tidbits that are on my brain, but that I haven’t considered worthy of an entire post. The Office Season Finale, plus Lost OR Idol? Last night’s season finale of The Office was a doozy, as expected. I won’t spoil it for anyone who hasn’t seen it […]

Braves' Pena returns from DL, Wilson granted release
I don’t consider this blog to be a source of Braves news, per se, so I don’t typically comment on individual transactions. I prefer to leave that to blogs like Braves Journal, Chop-N-Change, and Talking Chop, which cover the Braves on a more comprehensive basis than I do. Some transactions are too hard to pass up, […]
Cokey is better than Pepsi
I’ve neglected to mention here that my wife and I had an unusual Sunday a few weeks back. We had been talking about pets for a while, and it happened that a family was leaving our church and moving out west to Sacramento. On their final day at East Brainerd, they offered up their seven-year-old cat for the […]
Leveraging the Braves bullpen
WPA is a stat that lends itself well to the analysis of relief pitching. Along those lines, Sal Baxamusa has an interesting article up on The Hardball Times about reliever leverage so far in the 2007 season. If you’ve been reading this site for a while, you might remember that relievers used to be the […]

Braves take a half-game edge on the road
It’s another week, and it’s still a close fight at the top of the NL East, with the Braves having a half-game edge only because they’ve played an extra game. Still, it took a 5-2 week against the Padres and Pirates, in the form of a five-game win streak sandwiched between two losses. With the […]
Another Bison coming out for Obama
Joining a Facebook group isn’t exactly the type of decision you spend hours agonizing about, unless you’re crazy and/or me. In my defense, though, it’s not the idea of joining the Facebook group that’s causing me mental anguish. Rather, it’s my own internal argument about whether or not I support Barack Obama in the 2008 […]
Review: "Oh! Gravity" by Switchfoot
Meta note: This is my first attempt at a style of review that makes more sense to me than what I’ve done occasionally in the past. While I don’t feel qualified to criticize the musical content of most recordings, that’s not the only important aspect to me when I’m listening to music myself. Hopefully this type […]
Motivating myself to review stuff
Every now and then, I buy a new CD or DVD, or I see a movie in the theater, and I switch into what I like to call “review mode,” where I try to think critically about the piece in question, its content, its production, and its meaning. This mode has manifest itself in a […]
Fantasy Cornerstone: Buy low, Sell high
I don’t intend for this to be part of a series of fantasy baseball advice posts. It’s not like you should listen to me as opposed to people who write for ESPN, Sportsline, or whatever other site you use. After all, I’m in eighth place right now in my 10-team league. Still, that won’t stop […]
