Notes During a Long Game
Tonight's ballgame is super frustrating. We're in extra innings (bottom of the 13th) and the Cardinals have had the bases loaded a couple of times and been unable to pull the trigger. It's been a pretty sloppy game (the Cardinals made four errors and the Royals tacked on a pair of their own), but it will be quite frustrating if the Redbirds can't pull this off.
[Pujols was just thrown out at 3rd for the second out. Albert's aggressive base running almost always works out to the Cardinals' advantage, but not this time.]
While waiting for the game to end, I've been clearing out the bookmarks in my browser. Here are a few links that I came across that I thought I'd share.
- Baseball Race: A fun web app that lets you view any MLB divisional race as a graphical horse race. The data goes from 1901 to the present.
- pmarca: Marc Andreessen of Netscape fame's new blog
- Gorgeouspil: The latest wacky idea from Alex Chiu, who invented the anti-aging magnet rings. Make sure you click on to the second page of this site. That's where it really gets good.
- Some lingering iPhone questions: A great post on Matt Haughey's blog that covers all the questions I need to get answered as I consider upgrading my razr to the iPhone.
Ludwig just hit a walk-off HR in the 14th, so I can wrap this up. Kip Wells, pitching in relief, got the win tonight. That might be a good psychological boost for a guy who has struggled so much on the mound this year.
