Zito shaved almost 10.00 runs of his ERA in the regular season. Ergo, he’s good for a -3.56 ERA this year.

I remember watching a game on tv after the Rockies traded Neifi. Juan Uribe had taken over for him.
“A lot of Rockies fans were really upset they traded Neifi,” the announcer said. “But in retrospect, it may have been a smart move. Word is, the Rockies front office thinks Juan Uribe may be even better.”

So we should ignore Andres Torres and his .438 batting line because he actually sucks?

The Return of The Kids
From Hank:
There’s an interesting story here. For years, the Giants were under the assumption that once they optioned a player to the minors during spring training they could not use him in a major-league exhibition game.
It turns out they can. The only risk is, if the player gets injured he has to be paid his major-league salary, $400,000 and change, or about twice as much as his minor-league pay. Also up from the minors again are pitchers Tim Alderson and Madison Bumgarner.

I’ll always remember him for one play when he was a Pirate. When he jumped over the catcher to tag home plate to score a run.

I work with GIS and CAD and some other graphic and laser scanning stuff for environmental and cultural resource analysis.
Nice. ESRI platform?
How did you get into GIS? I kind of fell into it with my job. I do crime mapping and some other analysis with it. I’m a newbie, but I’m learning.
Yup. ESRI’s Arc packages. I actually was doing some CAD stuff and sent out a bunch of resumes to anyone accepting while going to school. An environmental consultant hired me without me knowing what that actually was. While here I just learned any software being used that looked interesting, which obviously included ESRI.
Do you do analysis for a public service department?

What’s the category on Jeopardy that when it comes up, you just groan (or beep in that computer frustration way) because you know you won’t get it?
Last night’s Final Jeopardy category (British artists) was pretty bad, but Opera comes up all the time and I just have no clue for that one.

does your sig imply
that pandoval “hits it” in his bed, because, frankly, i think a lot of us do that.
I’m relying on Bob Uecker’s play-by-play, so your guess is as good as mine. The way he called it, it seemed to be a forgone conclusion once the ball reached the wall, so I’m guessing there was a defensive fuckup somewhere.
