MB has a good point, here.

Woody, you have a number of very serious character flaws. I'd highly recommend you seek professional help before posting here on this board in the future. Thanks

OK, that made me laugh out loud, in a good way. Hey, I apologized for that.

Should I just pretend not to know anything about it? Seriously, what should I do?

I answered your two posts in a way you didn't like, so you resort to comedy. That's cool, I like the funnies.

And please, tell me more about your MBA. Really, I need to know more. And tell me more about your job and your responsibilities. It's fascinating!! I guess it's ok for you to make 50 posts about what you do, but I can't make one about my background when it's completely relevant.

I love your brand of crazy and I'd like to subscribe to your newsletter.

Edit: Actually, do you offer RSS feeds? Because as a marketing manager for a very big and important internet company, I'd much rather have that. For the convenience, you know. Thx

somebody doesn't know what small sample size means

I actually taught grad level stats, so I know what it means. I used it as a board shorthand for saying that Halladay's playoff winning % is less likely to reach it's expected winning % in a small number of games than if it were a whole season. That's why superior teams are more likely to lose a short series to an inferior team than to lose a division crown to that same team. As N goes up, you approach the predicted/real results. That's why a larger numbers of subjects in a study leads to a lower P value, assuming the same results.

your logic was somewhat along the lines of "one game in a playoff series is a small sample size, so who cares who we put on the field for it," which is silly.

They've gotta hurry up and make this deal before we all go Lord of the Flies on each other.

Are you taking a shot at me? Everyone knows I'm a pretend writer for the pretend Baseball Digest. I've won several pretend awards and I'm well respected by my imaginary audience. Especially by those who don't count spelling and stuff like that.

You need to stop busting my chops chief. It's a serious character flaw you've got there. Don't mess with Baseball digest writers. We have a lot of friends.

Jeez. And I thought I knew you. smitty.

This

It kind of reminds me of the Phil Hughes hype from a couple years ago. Just in the sense that, there was so much talk about including Hughes in a deal for Santana, it got to a point where it seemed like Hughes plus slop would have gotten it done.

What I'm saying is, Drabek plus slop for Halladay. Get it done!
