I like how that entire box of non-X'd values has only one that says BOS

25 boxes left; 100/25 = 4% chance of BOS winning division

all match teachers should use this visual for their probability units.

24 TB Boxes out of 25 Total Boxes...

(24/25)=.96

Boom. Outta Here.

of course that is assuming that all outcomes are equally likely

This is how I do long multiplication

Sounds whack, but it works well for those of us bad at carrying numbers. Called latticework.

Vogt early, Vogt often.

Do I want the Mets or Cubs to win right now?

Boom. Outta Here.

You want the Mets to win

And the Cubs to suffer for another 100 years.

What about the Brewers?

Boom. Outta Here.

Only 1/4 of the amount of failure

Means only 1/4 the amount of snob. I can live with that unless they beat the Rays in the WS.

Frankly, the NL doesn’t frighten me one bit.

Looking at the remaining schedules...

it doesn’t look good.

Marlins @ Mets
Nats @ Phils
Cubs @ Brew Crew

Boom. Outta Here.

It may seem heartless

But look what happend with Red Sox fans the SECOND they got a whiff of success.

Sorry Cubbies, but you can not have a championship. Not while I’m alive.

hate those f'n fans

living in boston, I know how much the red sux fans hate rays fans, and they don’t even realize that they’re the new evil empire, suckas

Hopefully they do something stupid and go the Yankee route of team rebuilding

And just buy every free agent they possibly can. The Yanks are in deep crap because they have no farm system; they can’t buy enough free agents anymore to plug all the holes on that team.

Boston is the best run organization in sports. There is no chance they screw this up anytime soon.

Tools Whore

Sign Bonds!

Agreed

It’s wishful thinking and nothing more.

by kericr on Sep 24, 2008 11:13 PM EDT up reply actions

Boston only went after FAs to keep them AWAY from the NYY

Most of the good guys they have were through trades and the farm system

Trust me, I realized.

Check my comments from this past week at OTM. You’ll see what I mean.

Remember when we were kids and we mixed sodas together and called them "suicides"? It was OK though, because Dr. Pepper was always there.

Is the game on FSN or ION tomorrow?

Please say FSN

Stupid afternoon game.

Damn...

that means it will be over by the time my training is done here in San Diego. I guess I’ll have the blackberry running the play by play as I’m teaching the class :)
