Steve Melewski: Analyzing Markakis
"If Nick Markakis hit .338 this year with runners in scoring position and .299 last year, how come last year he drove in 101 runs and this year he had just 60 RBI?" To his credit, Steve then dissects why hitters can't control their RBI totals.

Didn't realize Markakis hit .338 with RISP
Actually, didn’t even realize we even got runners in scoring position. Kinda crazy that he’d have fewer ribbies this year.

Thinking about buying an O's jersey for my best man...
What do you think is the best one to get?
Markakis
Wieters
Matusz
Tough Choice
I say Matusz just because………………………because………………. I dont know just because.

there's a thought...
maybe I could go ahead and get an A. Gonz jersey since we will be trading Matusz and Wieters for him anyway
Mine has number 3 and the name DOSTOYEVSKY
I’ve worn it at OPACY like three times now— and I’m still waiting for somebody to ask me, “Um, sir…?”

Wow. That is a legit radio show.
I mean, we’re not talking some piddly AM station with no wattage. DC’s 106.7 is basically like our 105.7. I wonder how they pulled that off.

106.7 also hosts another SBN show for BloodyElbow, the main SBN MMA blog
so the station choice isn’t surprising.

Sheesh.

Excuse me!
I talked to Steve Phillips, asshole.

When I take over the world, the only DC radio station I will allow to exist will be DC101.
Also, I wasn’t actually expressing confusion at DC having radio. More surprise that a blog was getting an hour show on such a mainstream outlet like DC’s “The Fan” station.

SBN has more clout than you seem to think
I read an article the other day valuing it at around 30 million dollars, and I’m sure the Markos Moulitsas connection opens a lot of media doors.
Where does all that money come from?
Ads? It’s free to join and free to browse.
I'm back. YAY SUMMER!
Well valuing companies is a funny thing, its not the same thing as revenue
but I’d imagine the vast majority of the money coming in is ad-driven.
Think of the ads you see on here
Now, some are pretty rinky-dink, but some big name companies advertise on SBN now. That isn’t cheap.

Do any DC'ers know where Politics and Prose is?
I’m going to a lecture by this guy who wrote a biography of George Washington. It should be interesting.
I'm back. YAY SUMMER!
Those can be pretty damn boring
You never know what you’re going to get with history lectures.

Some folks know how to lecture.
The ones that don’t just talk to hear themselves talk. And they wonder why the kids can’t stay awake in class.

Lance Berkman is a True Douche Bag AND...
Also from Hardball: “Michael Bloomberg already planning World Series parade for Yanks.” The best part is Girardi sneering “I hope he’s right.” Any manager who’s not a complete DICK would give the standard Crash Davis down-play. Not Joe. Straight up asshole…
Good Luck Tony
Yea sad man. I met him nice guy seems really cool. Hope he comes out on top.

Damn - hadn't seen that
If anyone was the perfect classmate for Cal for the HoF, it was Tony Gwynn. That was a perfect pairing.

Sad thing is
I was at the election and after Tony was done like 5 people left but when Cal finished everyone left. And i mean everyone!

MacPhail said he would also like to pick up a veteran innings-eater,
Livan Hernandez.
