April 26, 2008 | Player Raters | 7 Commentsby: Rudy Gamble
During the offseason, I wrote several posts criticizing the ESPN Player Rater and went as far as create my own to critique it. Below are the links to these posts. Interesting reading if you’re a fantasy baseball or stat junkie. Much less interesting than smack if you are just a junkie. Part 1: How Valid […]

April 17, 2008 | Uncategorized | 3 Commentsby: Rudy Gamble
The Houston Chronicle – aka Minute Maid Paper – has reported that Miguel Tejada lied about his age. Not very shocking I know. But here’s what the Houston Chronicle isn’t telling you. Miguel Tejada isn’t actually Latin. He’s a black guy from the Bay Area who grew up as Michael T. James. He went to […]

The role of sports in our lives is more complex than just ‘root root root for the home team’ and something to keep your eyes occupied whilst drinking beer.
