It's a beautiful feeling
There are great firsts in a persons life.
First steps
First day of school
First kiss
First time getting busy
First (and hopefully only) wedding
First baby
But nothing in the world compares to the first time your first on a game or overflow thread!

Is there any statistical significance
in having a sabermagician post first on a team’s blog—does it increase the chances of that team winning?

Actually
Actually if a sabermatician posts first on his favorite team’s blog 1st overflow post on sundays the week the bears start training camp the team is 12-2.

I mentioned that Friday night.
At first, I thought that hissing noise might be Joe Morgan, but then I realized it wasn’t ESPN doing the game.

I think for me
They tried too hard to make it stand apart from other ball parks. Short porches and damn hill. That coupled with the windows and I am not liking it.

And did you see that little fountain of dust kicked up by the ball when it hit in center field? What have they got out there, sawdust?

I really don't understand that logic
If your guy gets hit intentionally in the face… then maybe. But to bean a player intentionally because the other teams pitcher let a ball get away makes no sense.
