		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve finally gotten around to reading Moneyball, Michael Lewis&#8217; now-classic 2003 portrait of Oakland A&#8217;s general manager Billy Beane. A decade ago Beane led the statistical revolution in contemporary Major League baseball, using computers, the Internet, and statistics to identify sources of talent that were undervalued by traditional baseball wisdom (meaning, primarily, the collective wisdom [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been nine years now since we Minnesota Twins&#8217; fans pledged devotion to our manager, Ron Gardenhire: nine years of happiness and bliss, including five divisional championships, with one more in the oven. He certainly brings home the bacon, and on top of that he&#8217;s good with the children&#8211;not too strict, not too lenient. In [...]]]></description>

You just wouldn&#8217;t know it from the paucity of blog updates lately. I&#8217;m juggling a large number of rather rather bulky and wobbly projects these days.

The weather forecasters had been falsely promising thunderstorms for several days until I stopped believing them, but for once they were right. By the time we reached the parking lot at New Comiskey Park (I continue my personal boycott of the corporate [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s a nice little ending for what&#8217;s been mostly a chaotic week. Sad news from Los Angeles re the passing of [...]]]></description>

I managed to get to church &#8212; but cheated, in that my &#8220;worship service&#8221; consisted of the Art Hoyle Quintet performance at Hyde Park Union Church, sponsored by the always wonderful Jazz Sundays series organized by the Hyde Park Jazz Society.

Liriano and Neshek are back, Mauer and Morneau and Cuddyer and Kubel are ready to start popping the ball out of the park, and the starting rotation is the strongest Minnesota&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

But two promising rikishi have also stepped up to take advantage of the opening created by yokozuna Asashoryu&#8217;s sudden retirement last month: ozeki Harumafuji, the former Ama and a disappointment since his promotion to ozeki a [...]]]></description>
