My nephew’s tee-ball team was voted to be named the Muckdogs. What’s the etymology of that name? I only find a couple other baseball refs.
My MLB-manager strategy: All replacement-level pitchers, all DH-style hitters, errors and high ERA be screwed, we’ll just score 12 a game.
Was fairly certain I ran over a cat on the way home until @__ pointed him out staring at us from a yard. Seemed to be untouched & fine. Whew
The Cardinals got 26 triples in 2008 (via @zekewilliams ) Anyone know how many times a Cardinals player got 4 or more hits in 2008?
So far it’s 57 runs in the last 8 games. So, averaging over 7 a game. I guess that’s one way to deal with losing your ace(s).
Which is the harder (less common) part of a cycle attempt: hitting a triple or getting 4 hits in a day? Ignoring the other hard parts.
I failed at an elevator-ride explanation of Bird-Powered Robot (http://tr.im/jwBh) after his comment “I see you like Diesel Sweeties.”

Uh oh, my cat just discovered that pawing the iPhone screen causes it to move in pleasing ways. (Any kitty apps out there?)
It seems like it would be very simple to program and occasionally useful to be able to timeshift all tweets in a twitter feed in some app.
I need this office building to supply wifi in the elevators. It’s prime Twitter reading time. #1stWorldProblems
I’m glad @cwalken has returned. I registered @christofaux for him. Blasted Twitter user length limits, @christofauxWalken would be best.
Adult T-Ball will be sponsored by the best beer ever, Schlafly. Assuming they sponsor flattery. Each base a different style, touch ‘em all.
The T-Ball rules would work great for an adult T-Ball league if we replace bases with kegs. Who’s in?
Nephew’s Tee-ball rules: No score|No outs|8 swings=a walk|Even if runner is out, he stays on base|Inning over when all bat & touch all bases
The record for a marathon is 2h3m59s. It’s 4m44s a mile, and 461 100yd dashes at 16.1s. Sadly, I couldn’t run one 100yd dash at that speed.

It’s often annoying when people tweet they’re eating lunch but a nice accompanying photo may lessen the banality: twitpic.com/3s7t8
I’d like to see an additional W% stat: Where (position #) you are in a lineup. I bet that affects win-rates a good bit at any given moment.
I know many of you are already on the fangraph train, but you should check out the insanity of twitter.com/cardinal_… during a game.
While I understand the difference between tracking and kerning, I don’t understand how Adobe Illustrator uses the terms in their 2 features.
New word learned while reading about watching movies/video in 24p vs. 60Hz: judder. I don’t believe I’ve ever noticed it. tr.im/jjZp
Trying my first 1080p, 24fps DirecTV PPV tonight. It’s Jim Carrey’s Yes Man. Hey, I’m limited by what @__ won’t want to watch, as she’s out.
