Pronounced "SHOD en froy duh".
Or the English synonym is masochism.
Also I don't know why CHONE should be pronounced like Chone.
Surely it has nothing to do with Figgins. I pronounce it with the hard CH and the long O.
Actually
It has everything to do with Figgins. It was named after him. Imagine if Red was an economist who developed a baseball projection system and called it BELTRE. How would you pronounce it?
Belter.
I'd sleep at the Internet, but I've found servers don't make for good pillows.

I think you mean sadism, not masochism,
and I don’t think they’re synonymous, since sadism implies enjoyment with actual participation.

It's one on those German words with no English equivalent, that's why we use it.
See also: zeitgeist.
I usually hear it defined as "malicious satisfaction in the misfortune of others."
Hard work never killed nobody, but I won't take my chances.

Good stuff.
Glad to hear Matthew confirming what Divish told me about Texeira. I have been pulling for the Aardsma-League-Lowe-White-Kelley-Texeira bullpen.
Did you guys mean to put the podcasts in the "Blues" genre or is that just some auto-select thing?
Falling, fallen, we all fall down, it only really matters how we stand our ground
If and when we rise to our feet again, we'll be on our own
-Tomas Kalnoky/Streetlight Manifesto, If and When We Rise Again
There's no genre called "Teals"
So this is as close as they can get.
Also, depending on how the season goes….
WOW!
Do you hate Rob Johnson!!?!
I loved the ‘breakdown’ of Rob. Yeah, it would be wierd if he started hitting. Hope he gets healthy because the FO has committed to him a little. Him and Moore, give them a shot and try to work through the no hitting and pass balls.
Love the M’s talk! Keep it up.
I have a cousin with 1 testicle, when they yell play ball, he smiles.
Jeff you got your Defcon levels mixed up.
Standard peacetime protocol is DEFCON 5, descending in increasingly severe situations.
Important Details
Preach it, Journal Of Commerce!
In 2008, for example, BNSF Railway increased the length of double-stack trains on its high-volume corridors to 10,000 feet from 7,500 feet. The longer trains each carry about 325 containers compared with 250 containers carried by the more common 7,500-foot trains.
…
Lange said UP’s average train length is 6,000 feet, although the railroad does run trains as long as 12,000 feet in high-volume corridors such as between Los Angeles-Long Beach and Chicago.
Luckily it is a short recovery time
I betcha he is happy as a clam right now.

I thought that Bedard couldn't be put on the 60 day DL yet?
From Dave at USSM,
If you’re wondering, they can’t put Bedard on the 60 day DL until the end of spring training, so for now, he’ll use up a 40-man roster spot.Bedard Passes Physical, Deal Done
A bunch of teams have already put players on the 60-day DL
It’s clearly active.

But is there any benefit to doing it?
Is it retroactive in any way? I have no idea, but I suspect not, and the 60 day count starts on opening day. The M’s may not want to put Bedard on it because they are hoping he could be ready in May; whereas other teams are putting players on it because they are going to be out for 60 days minimum.
The full saying is...
…happy as a clam at high water.
I guess if happiness is not getting dug up, pried open, fried, chewed and digested.
Trains
I must be drunk to write this.
First, how the hell do you expect the people of Denver to get really heavy shit? Trains! They’re awesome! They are the things that allow the people of Pittsburg to make steel and sell it to people in Seattle so we can make 21st century technologies. They minimize transaction costs so that we can exercise our comparative advantage in really cool shit.
Second, they don’t fill the train cars with coal while they’re attached to the damn locomotive. Locomotives have better things to do with their time than wait.
Also, I was fooling around with playback speed
And I discovered that at 1.4x speed, both of you sound pretty much like Dave Cameron.

2009 Mean Squared Error for projection systems
Here I think this might be what Matthew was referencing
Stats are not a euphemism for tits
Another possible high profile college bust
Rickie Weeks might qualify, we was a really high pick who was at the top of most prospects lists too
