Browsing around on some coupon message boards as I frequently do, I came across this link to an article called When to play the rebate game.
Moderately interesting, but what was more interesting was this quote:
According to our resident Shopper.com shopping expert, Dan Miller,
THE PEOPLE MUST HAVE THEIR DAN MILLER!!!
Just after the Pope died, I was wading through my spam filter and saw some spam about the Pope (gold commemorative coins maybe?). Nice to see I was not the only one

Well, with Peavy leading the Cubs 7-2 in the 7th, and Mulder getting worked by the Reds 6-1 in the 6th, it appears likely that the Red Hot Death will win Game 5.
Luckily I didn’t have to worry about one of the more annoying features of fantasy baseball, where one of my hitters is up against one of my pitchers
So I’ve been out shooting free throws on my new bball hoop. I’ve been aiming for 70% in clumps of 20 shots. Sidenote: I suck at free throws. I actually made it once yesterday (for the first time). I actually made 16/22.
The real question is, statistically speaking, how often will someone that has a “real” accuracy pct of, say, 50% hit 14/20? I’m sure there is a statistical formula to figure it out…
ESPN messed up the boxscore of the Tigers / Twins game last night. Didn’t add anything about the 10th inning. Even their recap says that the game was won in the 9th. Normally this wouldn’t be annoying, except if you happen to be someone who wrote a parser to parse stats off ESPN’s web site. Not that I am or anything.
Adding insult to injury, one of the pitchers on my fantasy team (Troy Percival) was the pitcher who gave up the winning run in the 10th, so not only did I have to go in and manually fix that game, it actually hurt my game (though I am still winning 7-2)
