Who Goes Batshit Crazy Tonight?

In Game Threads by aisle424183 Comments

I got my money on this guy…

garza

Seriously, what the hell is Garza doing in that photo?  He looks like when Chandler can’t smile in “The One With the Engagement Picture.”

Anyway… he’s pitching against Mark Buerhle tonight, who has been known to take an awkward photo himself…

buerhle

Let’s just try not to be too embarassing out there, guys.

    It’s not going to be fun watching Matt Garza pitch in Wrigley in the summertime, methinks.

    I’m watching WGN and it hasn’t seemed that way to me. He only has 2 strikeouts. Cubs are hacking away. He works around the edges of the zone, he’s usually around the plate and has good control.

    It would be a shame, since the Cubs have a decent chance of turning this around (win expectancy was .5 before the Baker K, and is about .45 now.)

    So apparently Alfonso Soriano made a boo-boo and called Cubs fans the worst in treatment of their players.

    [quote name=Rice Cube]In geometry, isn’t a point the absence of dimension?[/quote]
    I’m not a geometer, but the definition of dimension is just how many parameters you need to pin down a specific point (or element) of whatever set you’re in. So if we’re talking about the usual Euclidean vector space technically a single point is of dimension 3 since you need to give three things to specify it. If you’re talking about just the real line a point is dimension 1. A line is dimension 1 because you just give a parameter for however far along you move on it. Technically you also need slope and a starting point but since Euclidean space is rotationally and transationally invariant you can ignore them. However, if you’re talking about a graph of a line as opposed to the abstract concept of a line it’s 2D, as it consists of the pair (t, f(t)).

    Anyone still watching the College World Series?

    http://www.ncaa.com/brackets/baseball/d1/2011

    Cal gets one more chance to knock off Virginia, then will have to get through South Carolina twice to get to the best-of-three round. Probably won’t happen, but I’m surprised they even got past the super regional after the program was set to be destroyed at the end of this season.

    Also, one of the Cal players is tied to BALCO somehow. Weird.
