Jacoby Ellsbury just won a taco for everyone in the country. The Crunchy Ground Beef Seasoned Taco from Taco Bell has an estimated retail value of 77 cents, and the same nutritional value as a clump of Fenway Park sod.
Taquitos.net has the full rundown. He’s a little hard on Taco Bell. This is the company that had one of the most popular advertising campaigns in the country’s history until they ran a promotion and found out that no matter how popular the commercials were, people still weren’t eating their food. At least by giving away tacos in exchange for air time during the World Series, people will actually have to attempt to eat their food.
The population clock at the census site has the current U.S. population at 303,212,218 303,212,219 303,212,220. At 77 cents a pop that’s $233,473,409.40 worth of potential tacos. The ensuing Clydesdale carnage could be immense.

There will be analysis here, sabermetrics, the works. It’s just easier making with the funny while I’m busy setting everything up.
This blogging crap is a lot of work when you first start, particularly when I’m on the phone with Japanese TV all day.

2-5 PM on a weekday… Something tells me Taco Bell doesn’t need to worry about running out of tacos…
