    True, I’ve previously referred to Halloween as an overrated holiday, but now that it’s here I’m allowed to revel in all its spooky and/or sugary delights. Baseball’s World Series, too, has provided great fanfare, through two dare I say epic … Continue reading →

    Today on Math and Musings you’ll hear about two events I’m pretty sure have never opened on the same day: Halloween weekend and baseball’s World Series. Saying this weekend is going to be great is like the understatement of the year. … Continue reading →

    The writing has been on the walls for years, but now it just got real. Final proof that “TV” is over and streaming is the official means by which we consume visual media. According to my sources, no “television” station … Continue reading →

    I remember once hearing the late Vin Scully describe the scene in Brooklyn following their win in the 1955 World Series. Something akin to Mardi Gras, New Year’s Eve, and the Fourth of July. That was Brooklyn. In the rest … Continue reading →

    On today’s episode of Math and Musings you’ll hear me discuss baseball’s LCS. It was recorded a couple days ago, that heady time in which the AL series was still nothing-nothing. Studio executives were dreaming of the Yankees being in the … Continue reading →

    At various times over the past decade or so the New York Yankees and Houston Astros have been, for one reason or another, “bad for baseball.” Stealing signs, stealing players… in one way or another, cheating. Yup, who cares. These are … Continue reading →

    Yankees save baseball again

    The collective sigh you heard was baseball and TV executives breathing relief following the New York Yankees’ win over the Cleveland Guardians last night. Their win ensured a Game Five this evening, meaning ka-ching, ka-ching for TBS and MLB. They’re … Continue reading →

    On Monday I was in the remote town of Culpeper, Virginia, visiting a secret government warehouse and laboratory operated by the Library of Congress. I’m gonna let that lead breathe for a minute. Tucked inside Pony Mountain on the outskirts … Continue reading →
