The race is getting a little closer, this according to the Iowa Electronic Markets' 2004 US Presidential Election Winner Takes All Market.
My guess: election day will be more exciting than all four Red Sox-Cardinals games combined.

Bizarre Coincidence
Since the Redskins became the Redskins in 1933, the result of the team's final home game before the presidential election has correctly predicted the White House winner. If the Redskins win, the incumbent party wins. If they lose, the incumbent party is ousted.Yahoo! News - Redskins May Predict Presidential Winner

Over... well, almost
Three outs to go. There's no way the Sox lose this series.
By the way, someone should let the Cardinals know that the World Series is going on. They could have made this whole thing at least mildly entertaining if they could score a run, ever.

Michael Lewis on Motley Fool
Fool.com: Don't Listen to Buffett [Commentary] October 26, 2004
"If we weren't doing things this way already and we were starting afresh, would we do things this [same] way?"
A great quote summing up Bill James' approach to baseball analysis and a good idea to keep in your head. Overall, looks like a mildly interesting series of articles with the author of that baseball book. But at what point does Lewis get sick of the Moneyball questions?
And do I get extra "moneyball" credit for suggesting that Lewis co-wrote the Motley Fool articles about himself...? (background here)

That Fenway-Nike Commercial
I don't understand the new Nike commercial. What's the "it" you're supposed to "Just do"??
Sit there like a bump on a log for 80 years?

Conflicting Priorities
Stone: Yankees Lose
"You'd think a self-styled baseball blog would have some commentary on the baseball story of the season. But, alack, no."
I think this has got to be one of the first times in the history of mankind that a boss has called out an employee for not blogging enough about baseball. This, folks, is historic.
