As I said a href="http://lefarkins.blogspot.com/2009/06/hello-to-me-goodbye-to-gordon.html"when I introduced myself here/a on LGM, I have been a fan of the Seattle Mariners since 1977. Which means I've happily watched a lot of truly dreadful baseball, in a setting that perhaps only compared to the a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympic_Stadium_(Montreal)"Stade Olympique/a for grimness. I believe Scott has been to both, so at least he has a comparative framework from which to make such claims.divbr //divdivA commenter in reply to my cricket post yesterday wanted some analysis on the Yuni trade. a href="http://ussmariner.com/2009/07/10/more-on-the-yuni-trade/"It's all good/a according to the guys over at USS Mariner, whom I've been reading religiously before they were USS Mariner. /divdivbr //divdivBTW, England might just a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/england/8146185.stm"pull out a draw/a. 235-9 at the moment./divdivbr //divdivI was an early adopter of proper sabermetrics, but then it appealed to me automatically given my statistics (lite) training. That's how I think as a social scientist, and I've been a baseball fan all my life (first game: 27 April 1975, seventh birthday, Candlestick Park, Dodgers v Giants. With my dad and my grand dad. And, bonus, it was bat day). The Mariners as an organization have been relatively late adopters of this new math. So when a href="http://ussmariner.com/2009/07/11/yay/"I quote Dave Cameron/a over at USS Mariner in my title about the new regime, I couldn't agree more./divdiv class="blogger-post-footer"img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7163938-4387984702874919261?l=lefarkins.blogspot.com'//div
