Please Excuse My Randomness

But JD Drew is rated 100 in a new baseball video game.

100.

I hate everything.

 FASTEST EDIT/CORRECTION EVER: Apparently, like, everyone in the game is rated 100, including Garret Atkins (??????????). And also, Shawn Green and Cliff Floyd are rated 98.

Maybe we should start a blog about stupid video game designers?

I Hate The Cardinals Now

Until someone explains this.

Surprise!

So Taguchi apparently never expects anything to happen ever.

Have you ever noticed that Jim Thome and Mr. Incredible are never in the same place at the same time?

Does It Bother Anyone Else When…

…sportscasters – or anyone, really – says something is in the top six? Or four? Or basically any number that isn’t 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, or 50? I mean, if you’re saying something is in the top six, it’s number six. If it weren’t number six, you’d say it’s in the top five.

I can’t take full credit for this, because my dad mentioned it to me one day and it changed my life (not really). But it drives me nuts. There’s no real reason this is objectionable, I guess. It’s fun and easy to sort things into general categories, which is fine. I just twitch a little every time I hear a sportscaster say something like “the Broncos are in the top seven in rushing yards” and I immediately know they’re number seven. That’s all.

Rant over.
