I have a vague memory of having seen Vin gleefully narrate another one many years ago.

I understand the urge not to crush somebody's self-esteem and to let the other kids feel like they're in the game, too.
But enough is enough.

Just because YOUR "young phenom" has a 4.50 era and can barely make it out of the 5th inning most nights isn't a reason to be jealous....oh wait, yes it is.

We get our "young phenom" back tonight, so look for extensive amounts of smack talk coming your way in the coming weeks.

Someone do this research for me:
After 81 games, what is the biggest lag behind Pythagorean a team has had while still having the best record in the major? Just curious when I noticed that the A's actually have 4 wins fewer than you'd expect with their run differential. |

Do you have a source of statistics with an API?

Damn, I once again underestimated humanity.
They were handing out Bryce Harper Bobble Head dolls at the Nats game last night. I guess I should have kept mine, I see they are selling for around $40 each on Ebay today. Note: that is the actual selling price not the asking price.

My experience with bobble heads is that they are pretty much a one week phenomenon on eBay. When we moved last year I looked at finally dumping the ones we've accumulated over the years (and some significant players) and none of them had more than a few dollars in value.

Yeah, I've got a set of "vintage" ones (first 3 the Dodgers ever gave out). Looking at Ebay sold listings I MIGHT get $30 each.
