I have been battling the sort of computer problems no one who does what I do should ever have to face, and it appears I may very well have stemmed the tide in my favor for the moment. I’m going to sleep in about a half an hour… …if I wake up tomorrow, power up […]

Sorry for the lack of an update. The super-intelligent fully autonomous supercomputer running this site and all of the stuff it produces is DOWN!! And I can’t seem to fix it in a timely manner. I’m currently looking for a way to get the files off of it so I can get an update in […]

Nothing is quite so much fun as when your Windows installation craters for no particular reason. I’ve only been semi-attached to the internet since early March.

Seems my blog/desperate cry for help has garnered the attention of the good folks at the Sons of Sam Horn Red Sox Message Board. I particularly like the 98% accurate line “good bitter fun…from the mind of a homeless lunatic.” Almost right on the money, except I’m not bitter. Indeed, while I wish the Red […]

Back before my tenure with the Red Sox, I used to do projections every year that folks seemed to like well enough. Now that I’ve resurfaced I suppose I should address whether I’m going to do them again. For the 2008 season the answer is a definite “no.” Doing them well takes time and I […]

My plan for global domination is coming together nicely. My new computer parts have arrived and soon I’ll be ready to speed down the information superhighway. Once I’m up and running, expect far more regular posting than recently.
