10/8 OTDOTD: The chronicles of Nate Silver's television career
by Double06 on Oct 8, 2008 1:05 AM PDT
Email
PrintI sit here typing on my laptop in front of my TV with the Colbert Report on TV, waiting for Nate Silver to come on while I enjoy my first Jubelale of the season. And it's more delicious than I remember. I wasn't going to post about a political comedy show, so I'm going to tread carefully and focus on anything baseball that is discussed. Colbert's intro: "My guest Nate Silver is a baseball statistician who thinks he can predict the election. My prediction? Cubs lose!" (Silver picked the Cubs to win)
Silver looks nerdier with glasses off than glasses on. And he almost said DEVIL when talking about the Rays. Draw from this what you will.
Talks about 534...talks about 534... Baseball metephors for politics... Oooh, he just compared the candidates to teams, and one of them was from Seattle. It was amusing. Colbet laughed, the audience laughed, I laughed. That is all I am permitted to say.
Silver goes on to use statistical analysis to predict jetpacks will be available for commercial purchase in 2036.
Wow, that was short and I'm disappointed I stayed up to watch that. My diary is looking rather stupid now that I have nothing left to write about it. Good thing these fine people did the rest of the writing for me...
Topics to discuss:
~ Your politics-filtered take on Nate Silver on the Colbert Report if you watched it.
~ Spielberg and Paramount call it splitsville. Your favorite Spielburg flick?
~ Who is Lewis Hamilton and why is this 4-year-old being paid $30 grand to be the next him? Anyways, that's freaking amazing.
~ Which will end the world first: The man-made black hole, the ring of fire, this, a genocide from an unknown blogger when the Sens lose to the Ducks in a Stanley Cup Game 7 this year, or [insert clusterfuck here]?
~ Fuck the Altima, build your own coupe, SB. It's faster, it's cooler, it's cheaper, it's street legal, and people will think you spent a cool $60 grand for a car nobody has ever seen before.
~ ^ And make sure to make it angry-faced or people will think you're a wussy and paid less for it.
~ I have spent way, way too much time playing this game. Your favorite SFW timewasters?
~ Your company going under? Follow the new trend in sales: humorous honesty.
~ Eight extremely underrated South Park songs. Although I would argue it's 7. And the new season starts tomorrow!

Isn't Silver largely considered a hack by the sabermetric community? Or am I getting my BP guys confused?
Seriously, it’s been a full season now, how to people still accidentally call them the Devil Rays? And on NATIONAL TV for crying out loud!
And I think he referred to the Seattle Pilots, not us…..which didn’t make much sense.
I liked the Daily Show’s brief talk about baseball more, probably because Stewart was giving Cubs fans shit by calling them stupid and saying that the Cubs would never ever win a World Series.
He did talk about the Pilots.
I was trying to suppress curiosity of political motive behind it, but I just didn’t want to be the only person to mention it and suffer the wrath of the overlords.
You are getting them confused.
Nate Silver is one of the few good parts of BP.
A lot of systems have caught up, but PECOTA was pretty remarkable when it came out, right?
I know Carroll and Sheehan aren’t so beloved, but Silver’s pretty damn good with numbers.
I still call the Angels the California Angels from time to time
Once I learn a name it’s hard for me to change that name.

That’s somewhat humorously coincidental.

I've tailored mine pretty nicely. Still get a few crap pages, but not nearly as many as when I started.

I lost patience with the tailoring
I’m the kind of person that will go find what he wants; I don’t want to spend time configuring an engine to tell me what I might want. I’m a fairly undemanding internet customer – I have my set of sites that I visit regularly, and occasionally I get a link from somewhere that’s interesting, but I don’t need to be constantly bombarded with stuff I “might” be interested in.

Try going to a driving range.
It’s the most fun you can have for 10$. I suggest you borrow someone’s older club, though. The loaners there are horrible. It’s worth the 30$ to get your own.

And you end up breaking the laws of physics on your swings.
The ball will go 150 yards straight out, take a 90-degree turn to the right in mid-air, and then go another 100 yards.

My company sells clubs,
so I get to take the latest and greatest drivers out for a spin. I always end up at the end of a bucket holding my 3 year old Wilson POS graphite.
I’ve gotten to the point where can hit my driver consistently 300+ with just a little slice.

If I had the time to go to the range a few times a week
I could probably be the same – I have a crappy 10-year old TaylorMade fairway wood (it’s kind of between a 2 and a 3 wood, the one before the bubble shaft) that I can routinely hit 275-280 right down the middle, yet I can’t hit my driver to save my life.

yeah, that's no good
easily frustrated and golf do not get along. You have to recognize that no matter how much you’ve played, if you aren’t a low handicapper that plays every day, your next shot always has a pretty decent chance of being horrid. Be OK with that, and be able to put that horrid shot behind you when it happens, and you’d do fine.

I lost two clubs on one hole.
I threw one up into a tree, then broke another one trying to throw it into the same tree to knock the other one down. I haven’t played since.
But that was in high school, so I think I’m calmer now. But yes, as pdb says, golf is not a good sport for the hot-headed.
I'm more afraid I would throw one -at- someone.

No one in golf to blame but yourself
so unless you’d be willing to throw a club at yourself, you’d probably end up throwing one into a tree or a lake. Which is, oddly, not going to make anything better.
I’ve always wanted to see someone throw a club at mini golf.

The worse you are in a driving range, the better.
Unless you can’t laugh at yourself, or all bets are off.
The first time I took my current GF to the range, she shot one off the roof and it came back and hit this Korean businessman in the shin. Two swings later, she hit him in the calf of the same leg.

You should try disc golf.
Cheaper, faster, more accessible to athletes and non-athletes.
There appears to be a decent course in Baton Rouge. You should try it out. Great way to spend a couple hours socializing.
That's like a 2 hour drive from NOLA.
Where do you play? I used to hang out in a lot of parks in and around Portland that had courses. Is it as popular elsewhere?
It's hard to convince people to let you eat them if you're an asshole. - Thingray
I couldn't find any good one near NOLA
Maybe they don’t have parks big enough down there.
As for me I mostly play Lakewood and Sea-Tac south of Seattle. I did play Pier Park in Portland last weekend. That was a really nice course.
You're right
Our parks are certainly small.

It was just a guess. I did find it odd there are no Disc parks in NOLA.
Seattle actually has that very problem. Disc Golf takes a few acres of land and not many parks around here are big enough to accommodate.

Too bad.
Instead you’re getting Jurassic Park 4.
If we were to make a movie chronicling the rise of Lookout Landing and the creation of StatCorner
what would the plot be and who would we cast?
Hmmm...
One or more lovable protagonists have existed for some time in a stable but fundamentally flawed routine, which is shaken up by the introduction of a foreign entity, usually another character, around whom attitudes are initially hostile. Attempts to deal with this character eventually lead to the protagonist(s) discovering a new, unfamiliar world, and in doing so discover the nature of the fundamental flaw in their routine. Villains are usually introduced or only become truly villainous from around the mid-point or quite late into the film. Along the way the heroes enlist the help of various lesser characters with clearly definable quirks and at one point reluctantly enter a high-speed chase. The villain is generally finally defeated with surprising ease, and everything concludes in an emotionally manipulative ending in which routine is restored with the fundamental flaw excised.
Oh wait that’s the Pixar formula.

I also liked when Chappelle made the “Trading Spouses” sketch, and a year later Fox created a show with the exact same name.
Gee, it's almost as if Fox is morally bankrupt, or something.

That was ABC's version.
And the producers of that show accused Fox of stealing their idea. (Shocked, I am.)
I thought it was good
I don’t know about “redeeming qualities” but it was an entertaining thriller that wasn’t a rehash of every other thriller, so that was good. There was really no need for a sequel though.

Has anybody tried that Leinenkugel Sunset Wheat that is suddenly everywhere?
I saw it in the local supermarket, then on tap at a local bar, now I hear it’s avail. on Delta flights…
I don’t really fancy a wheat beer right at the moment, with Oktoberfest and Winter ales available. I’m more curious as to how this particular beer suddenly became ubiquitous. Something similar happened with Stella a few years back of course, but that’s perhaps a bit more understandable.
Wisconsin, whatever. It was everywhere in Chicago.
Anyways,
On March 28, 2006, the company introduced Leinenkugel’s Sunset Wheat also known to some as “liquid fruity pebbles”, which is brewed with wheat, hops, and coriander.
Pass.
That's the least appetizing description of a beer I've read in a long time.
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
"Liquid fruity pebbles" is, yes
But wheat/hops/coriander sounds like Hoegaarden. I’m quite sure Leinie’s SW doesn’t taste like Hoegaarden, and don’t really care… I just want to figure out how a state that never had Leinenkugel anything suddenly has one particular variety everywhere.
It… it could happen to your town.

They honestly do taste a lot better over there.
I’m not a huge fan of Hoegaarden myself, but there are plenty of other belgian ales that are pretty damned awesome. And all of them are made with hops/wheat/coriander.
I really want an Affligem or something right now.
It sounds like every american wit or hefe to me.
Wow, orange peel and coriander! What strange and exotic ingredients that only you and every. other. brewery. ever. uses.
for a general population that's used to Budweiser/Miller/Coors
it is pretty strange and exotic.

Bloom County left, then Opus started later.

To be overly pedantic
it went Bloom County, then Outland, then Opus. Neither Outland nor Opus were anywhere near the strip that Bloom County was though.

I'm at the bar last night, and this guy keeps yelling across the room at me....
He’s yelling “Willie!!… Willie!!… Willie!!”, but I just ignore him, because my name isn’t Willie. Then I overhear his buddy say “Dude, that’s not Willie”, so the guy holds his hands up to his mouth and screams “NEVERMIND!!” at me.
I wasn’t sure how to react. Should I thank him for allowing me to stop ignoring him completely or what?

A dilemma
I told myself I was going to go on a 15 mile bike ride today after work, in deference to which I did not bring gym clothes. The wind is blowing something fierce, and it’s coming from the north – which is the direction I’ll be doing most of the ride.
I really don’t feel like fighting rabid headwinds for 15 miles, but I don’t have my gym stuff. Should I just ride straight home, get my stuff, then go to the gym, or should I just man up and ride into the wind? I really hate the wind.

We pretty much need to sign papers tonight for the house to close tomorrow. Everything was in order for our sale, but the purchase paperwork hadn’t made it in yet. We were sitting in the office having just signed our house over, when I got the call from my mortgage broker saying that the paperwork was in and ready to be processed. Should sign everything still tonight.
Maybe.
Who knows.
I’m just tired of all the open-endedness

Nailbitin' crap. I hope to never have to purchase another house again.
Unless it’s a second home, I’d kind of like to try renovating a place. Practice on a POS before I demolish my own.
Oh, that picture I swore up and down looked like a house up here. Dead wrong. I happened to drive by there yesterday. It’s a split with the garage out in front, so it’s actually nothing like the pic you posted. Other than windows, a roofline, grass. Trees. Oh, the door. It had a door too.
