Glad he's sticking to baseball

ESPN's Quintong: "I've always been fascinated by the voting for the All-Star Game starters."

I stopped reading at catcher because any system that puts Mauer behind Bengie Molina is more ridiculous than a system that places Varitek ahead of Mauer.; June 10, 2008 at 4:36 PM
Corms said...: OK I should have stopped reading there. I didn't realize he was using ESPN's 5x5 fantasy rating system to determine who the best actual players are. So now I know that fan voting for the All Star game is interesting because fans vote for their favorites as opposed to the players who are the best at a fabricated internet game that uses 5 unsophisticated stats to measure the hundreds of things that a player does on the field.; June 10, 2008 at 4:43 PM
Jason said...: This makes me wonder: How many times can one be handed one's own ass? Or is it implied that you put your ass back on once it has been handed you, thus freeing up your hands to accept it again?; June 10, 2008 at 5:52 PM
Corms said...: When one's ass has been handed to him/her a new ass grows in to take the first one's place.; June 11, 2008 at 8:25 AM

k-mad said...: I would also like to see the reptilian ass regeneration in process. Dat would be interesting.; June 11, 2008 at 1:05 PM

A lotta people don't realize what's really going on. They view life as a buncha unconnected incidences and things. They don't realize that there's this like lattice of coincidence that lays on top of everything. I'll give ya an example, show ya what I mean. Suppose you're thinking about a plate of shrimp. Suddenly somebody will say like, "plate" -- or "shrimp" -- or "plate of shrimp" -- out of the blue, no explanation. No point looking for one either. It's all part of a cosmic unconsciousness.

"You know the way everybody's into weirdness right now? Books in all the supermarkets about Bermuda Triangles, UFOs, how the Mayans invented television, that kind of thing? Well the way I see it it's exactly the same. There ain't no difference between a flying saucer and a time machine.... People get so hung up on specifics, they miss out on seeing the whole thing. Take South America for example. In South America, thousands of people go missing every year. Nobody knows where they go. They just like disappear. But if you think about it for a minute, you realize something: there had to be a time when there was no people right? Well, where did all these people come from? Hmm? I'll tell you where: the future. Where did all these people disappear to: hmmm? the past. How did they get there? Flying saucers, which are really... yeah, you got it! Time machines!"
