FKing Season Tickets, 2014 49

All, The time has come to figure out whether there is enough interest to do the FKing season tickets again this year. The deal is 24 games for $2,185 (including all taxes/fees). That works out to $91 per game (up from $81 last year). If we order by 12/18 (which they gave me more lead ...

Game 54: A urinal trough by any other name would smell as sweet 703

No Vince Cotroneo tonight, so we won’t have to listen to him denigrate the achievement when Tommy Milone hits for the cycle. Crisp CF, Lowrie SS, Cespedes LF, Smith RF, Donaldson 3B, Jaso C, Moss 1B, Sogard 2B, Milone P

The Lounge where we laugh at the Raiders, and ourselves 426

The Raiders, who usually toil in the relative anonymity of the Sunday afternoon network “C” game, bring a 5-game losing streak into tonight’s nationally televised public flogging at the hands of Peyton Manning and the Broncos, before a “sellout” throng at O.co Coliseum. I’m mostly trying to keep the NFL talk off of andeux’s freshly-fired ...

This grill will pick you up, and slap you back down again. You’ll end up right here. Going up 1: I won’t fall into any traps about a talented person’s character, but the voice is awesome and it looks like Ted Williams is going to get a second chance. And fast. Going down 1: There ...

FK Tech Requests – This is not a grill 86

Alright people, listen up. I want you to drop (in) and give me 20 (ideas). This is not a grill. So far, the things on my list are: 1) Seeing if updating to WP3 will break everything No WP3 for you guys. 2) A button to allow editors to move a whole thread to another ...

See, I told you I’d post this today! 100

The Project My goal for this offseason is to put some serious thought into what information we would actually want in order to get the best possible defensive statistics, with a particular eye towards elegance and objectivity (i.e. no “buckets” dividing up the field or stringers categorizing a hit as hard/medium/soft).  This project should also ...

The Thursday Grill: a trust exercise with Jesus 62

I certainly admit that shit like this makes me wish everyone on earth would just draw Mohammed. I find Ezra’s lust for this slideshow disturbing. NFOTD Wherein Nevermoor attempts to ruin the Giants for MB All managers are the same, part XXXVI Stupid Pedantry, brought to you by the NYT (Short version: Sugar is bad.  ...

What an Odd and Repellent Grill 272

Unlucky season so far for Zook. Conor Jackson? Not so much… Heavy sigh: Wallace still projects to be an average hitter and at least as good a hitter as Overbay I got lost in the math here, but do I need to drop my objections to defensive stats? Go get ’em Rob No. Not close. ...
