FREE KRAUT!

The transition is complete, and I think I got everything that I was worried would be lost.
For those of you who visited after the transition but before right now, there’s a chance unread comments that I just pulled over will be considered read by the system, so don’t be too shocked if that happens.  There [...]

This arose out of a set of emails at work, and I figured I’d post it here since I hadn’t really thought through it before.  First off, here’s the list (the third column is career ERA+, by baseball-reference, as a starting point):
Dallas Braden     05-09-2010 96  Oakland 4, Tampa Bay 0
Mark Buehrle      07-23-2009 121 Chicago [...]

I’ll leave the links to you, but I wanted to talk about the first challenge since Obama’s election where us Californians can have an impact: Filibuster reform.

Welcome back to the world of Mad Men. As with other shows, this is for pulled out discussion so DVR-ers aren’t spoiled, and it’s all in one place.

Unlucky season so far for Zook. Conor Jackson? Not so much…
Heavy sigh: Wallace still projects to be an average hitter and at least as good a hitter as Overbay

Go get ‘em Rob
No. Not close.
Hard to [...]

And we are the proud new owners of this guy.

First off, here’s what Sickels thinks about our draft:
Very heavy offense, with an obvious focus on power and strike zone judgment. I like the way they mixed high school and college hitters. The pitching picks are unimpressive on first blush, and I wonder if they could have done better with that, though teen round picks [...]

So we recently had a picture of dice as part of our tradition of images-as-syllable jokes. I didn’t have anything better to do, and owed a grill, so I figured I’d check out that site and see what else it had to offer. Turns out the answer is plenty:
Something for fans of NACHO [...]

All,
First, I’m about to embark on an upgrade to the most recent version. In tests on SandFK, it solved the new post issue, so we’ll see.
Once that’s done, the only thing I’ve heard about is AJAXing new comments (so there’s no need to refresh). I’m sure there’s more, so havatcha!
