Also, in my four years of college, I never stayed up a single night, never had an "all nighter", etc. I never really understood the people who did that to themselves. I mean, you're literally like killing yourself and turning in a crap product. Maybe some day I will do that, but I don't (and never have) see the need for having an all-nighter. Also, the main point I wanted to make here is that Baumann sucks.

you're wrong in a bunch of ways here.

different people respond differently to deadlines and pressure. i wrote lots of 25 page papers my junior year of college the night before they were due, starting them at 2am and finishing 10 minutes before class and i got As on those papers.

people work differently, and what works for one person might not work for someone else. you can give me 5 days to do something, and either i will do it immediately or i will do it right before its due. i generally don't break up the workload and spread it over 5 days.

I disagree with a lot of things Buster Olney and Jon Heyman say about player evaluation and their normative stances on the game, but I consider both to be trustworthy breaking news reporters, even where unnamed sources are involved. I’d trust them over Amaro.

I have to double check this one but I think it was in reference to Amaro saying the Phillies were planning on signing Hamels.

Generally, on the Internet, when someone writes something funny and it is copied and pasted somewhere without comment, friends of that person don't feel the need to come to the authors defense.

I posted the thing about the paper writing mainly because I once compared his writing style to a college student who is in the habit of trying to reach a word/page quota on term papers by filling them up with empty text. Some people do that so much the start to think its their style. The passage about the allright ers makes me think I hit the nail on the head.

I do all-nighters all the time, I'm a better worker under pressure, plus I'm a night owl. I'm like floppy, I can't write in spurts, it comes out looking like 3 different people wrote the paper.

Well, right now, I'm a night owl and a morning person because I don't really sleep, but I never did that in college. Maybe that means I didn't give a fuck.

I'm sick of deciding our school/workdays on such arbitrary things as the time our little patch of ellipsoid manages to point somewhat towards the enormous fusion reaction. I need like a 30-hour cycle or something, or maybe a better alarm clock.

Yeah I'm just being facetious. I did care, I guess that's why I'm taking the GRE in a few weeks. Which I probably shouldn't have signed up for. Oops. Anyway, Baumann is ridiculous.

oh cool this shit again

Long have I dreamed of RAJ foisting his mistakes on baseball's only GM with less of a clue. He appears to have done so.

Judging by the Phillies trade hoaxes of the past 24 hours, made-up internet trades are a better GM than Ruben Amaro.

I guess if you want to read one of the other writers you still need to go there.

My best papers in college were authored on 20th Street, with my Sears typewriter perched on the steering wheel of my 1969 VW Beetle 30 minutes before class.

Moreover, Brown had already shown he could hit Double-A and Triple-A pitching and could only advance as a hitter if he played every day in the majors. Sending him to Lehigh Valley would be as nonsensical as Luke Skywalker, upon hearing that Yoda had nothing more to teach him, had said, "You know what? I’m not going to fight the Empire. It might be momentarily inconvenient, so I’m going to sit here on Dagobah to eat snakes and run through the fog."
