The Ghost Man On Third - Week 2

[Festa]

It's nice when I start getting emails from people eager to catch up on their Capital reading.

Enjoy!

I was getting tired of hitting F5.

Scratch previous post, I lack the ability to read.

In other news, while it is allowed can we please refer to man bunting as "munting."

what will you call chick bunting?

I'll have to remember to put that into the next issue.

I've thought that one out before, but then realized that somewhere in Title IX is the ability for chicks to bunt without being judged. Therefore, no awkward word combination is needed.

but why is a dude being judged for bunting when a chick isn't?

Gender discrimination. Being in the majority makes you more of a target.

You white dudes have it rough.

I was going to do a Mailbag where I answer people's questions about bunting... but then I decided against it, figuring that too much is being made about it anyway.

Or you could write a version of "The Little Engine That Could" kickball style and name it the "The Little Ballers Who Bunted." It would be a tale about overcoming adversity, which is good for people's character. DCJ could learn a lot from it.

Out of curiosity how many official bunting/no bunting emails were received?

I thought it was based of the assumption that dudes where better kickers than chicks and that the term munting implies that man bunts are some how better than chick bunts. Chick bunts can be just as good if not better than dudes bunt, so I see reason to differentiate between the two.

[Stratoboozer]

So... if bunting doesn't look cool, but high socks look cool, then will bunting while wearing high socks make one look average?

I think you have it wrong. Munting implies that man bunts are worse than chick bunts.

I think Ryan once said, "Just because you wear Under Armour" doesn't mean you're athletic.

And what if you put something a little extra into the bunt? Does a bunt become less doesn't look cool if you do a MJ spin on the plate before bunting?

I think Ryan once said, "Just because you wear Under Armour" doesn't mean you're athletic.

Of course, I could break out my ol' discrete math book and use a truth table:

in reference to coolness...
A=knee socks and B=bunting

where A=TRUE and B=FALSE (not cool)

then A ∧ B = F

Therefore, bunting while wearing knee socks is NOT cool.

I thought about doing a binary table, but that may be over some people's heads.

[kim dude]

What if I do a trailing foot bunt, is that cooler than if I bunt with my leading foot?

I nominate this as the geekiest post of the day. (But since geek=cool on this board, it get's a )

I do want to see the binary table though. I want to know what is cooler, bunting with high socks or kicking away with normal socks?

... is it bad that I got a bit of a chub with this?

Sweet.

[Stratoboozer]

Attempting to put the binary table in here, but the code is messing it up...

But since you're basically negating the true and false values, it's the same result.

Before we said A is true, which gives it a binary value of 1 (a.k.a. true). Negating that (which means you are NOT wearing knee socks) makes it 0. Same goes for bunting: 0 is flipped to 1.

a b a AND b
1 1 1 [According to Ryan, bunting can never be cool/true, so throw this guy out.]
1 0 0 [our original knee socks and bunting]
0 1 0 [inverse - regular socks and regular kicking]
0 0 0 [depends on your view of knee socks. Personally I'd assign a false value to the coolness of knee socks.]

Weather update for today.

There's this massive ball of light in the sky. It hurts to look at it. I haven't seen one of these on a Wednesday in quite some time.

It'll be 60 degrees at game time (6:30) with a slight breeze.
It gets cooler as the sun goes down.
58 degrees at game time of the late game (7:15)

Where's OSC been? They've been quiet this week.

Where's OSC been? They've been quiet this week.

Ryan and I are in finals mode. I'm assuming Lloyd and Troy are still hungover from last week's game since they were blackout by 6pm last Thursday. No idea about anyone else...

Damn it. You know me too well already. I mean, Mario's givin' it to her good. Dude's gotta be on shrooms. Yum.

Lloyd doesn't remember throwing beer on people?

Lloyd hit on a married woman last week. True story.
