consistency

lost a bet?

"In baseball, my theory is to strive for consistency, not to worry about the numbers. If you dwell on statistics you get shortsighted, if you aim for consistency, the numbers will be there at the end." ~ Tom Seaver

The Reds haven't been too consistent lately. Last year the weird hops went their way, this year the hops go against them.
But how do you account for luck? HA, there is a formula for it amazingly.
Take the runs scored squared divided by the runs squared plus the runs allowed squared. The product should equal the winning percentage.
Last year the winning percentage was over that number, the Reds had a better record than they should have.
This year for the Reds, RS² / RS² + RA² = .539 as of Tuesday afternoon their record was .500, so they are under performing.

Votto maybe under-performing, but he is trying.

Seems to me this applies to life too. Be consistent in your message to your family, friends and employers. You're not going to hit a home run every time, but you can't give up without trying either, keep hitting singles the the occasional home run will follow.

The rally hats were out in force

talk'n about practice

And we in here talkin' about practice...
I mean, listen, we talkin' about practice...
Not a game, not a game, not a game; we talkin' about practice!
Not a game, not a, not, not the game that I go out there and die for...

This video was on a constant loop in my head watching the Bengals practice.

Parker Flats Friday, Bengals preseason edition

I refuse to read anything into a preseason game, a game where half the players may or may not be with the team when the season starts.
Did you see the story about the Bucs tossing the playbook in favor of iPads?
Can you imagine the possibilities? You have a play, click a movie icon and watch a short video of the play. Click a speaker icon and listen to the coach describe the play and what he wants to accomplish.
And a swipe at Mike Brown that is awesome.

If Marvin Lewis asked the same thing of Mike Brown, Brown would ask him why he needed so many feminine hygiene products and then tell him he was going back to a mimeograph machine.

WHOO DEYYY!!!

Cincinnatians For Progress fundraiser

The Cincinnatians For Progress are hosting a fund-raiser tonight to fight the job-killing, growth-killing, investment-killing anti-rail amendment. An amendment fueled by anti-city Anderson Twnshp based CAVE* men.
Back in 2009, when the special interest group backed Issue 9 they said they just wanted the citizens of Cincinnati to have a vote in the Streetcar, even though the issue had broader implications. If the issue failed they said, smug in their flawed logic that it wouldn't, they would have to go home.
Well fail it did, but they don't care, they've even gone as far to say all work on the streetcar should stop until people have a chance to vote.
Well the people of Cincinnati did vote, voted loud and clear. And they want the streetcar.

Tonight help fight special interests, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at The Blue Wisp, Cincinnatians For Progress will host a fund raiser, a suggested donation of $25.
Or you can donate, securely here.

*Citizens Against Virtually Everything
The CAVE men are a large, fractious confederation of people who are defined by what they are against. They are reactionary, wrongheaded and backward looking.[where: 45202]best place to learn how to live downtown cincinnati ohio the ethos of Cincinnati

Yelp's Mustache Bash

Craziness and hijinks!
OK this was one of the goofier yelp events I've been too, a good thing, a good thing.
Maybe we all take ourselves too serious sometimes.
Our yelp maestro and the most famous person that some people have ever met, Alex

this thing has to be a complete lifestyle in and of itself
