4/27/05 April Showers

In an upbeat article, ESPN's David Schoenfield explains why your favorite baseball team will not win it all.

ESPN also has an interesting take on how to spice up baseball. Make it like Texas Hold 'Em. From the article:

More percentages. More numbers. If the Cubs get the leadoff runner on base in the first inning, put a graphic up there that tells me the likelihood that he'll score is 56 percent. With one out, 37 percent. With two outs ... you get the idea.
If the Orioles are leading the Mariners 4-2 in the seventh, give me the projections up there next to the score.
Orioles 4 (77%)
Mariners 2 (23%)

Does the FBI have your fingerprints? They have 50,000,000 prints on record. Which is about 1 in every 6 people in the U.S. Yay for a safer America.

Ok, this page is fun. There's a 10 minute video of Weird Al Yankovic interviewing Eminem. Good stuff.
