A Personal Reminder of Where I Stand on Net Neutrality

In the spring of 2008, I made my first attempt at blogging. The blog only lasted about 10 posts until I eventually lost interest.

Closers, Saves, and Alternate Realities

Up 5-4 against the Tigers in Game 163 last night, I thought Twins manager, Ron Gardenhire, should have used Joe Nathan to begin the top of the 8th inning. The Twins ended up winning the game anyway, so this may all be moot. But by using Nathan in the eighth from the outset, the Twins [...]
