Larry Legend vs. Big Papi

Bill Simmons discusses who is the most clutch.
Includes the line:

The difference: Bird actually had to guard people and expend energy on the defensive end, whereas Papi gets to sit in the dugout, kick back, watch videotape, give hot foots and fart on Gabe Kapler while he gets psyched for his next at-bat. EDGE: BIRD.

Perhaps the greatest argument for changin the way we eat.

This Harpers article entitled The Oil we Eat is a impressive and eye opening explanation of The Green Revolution and the history of modern agriculture. Worth the read...

Corn, rice, and wheat are especially adapted to catastrophe...Eventually the catastrophic niche would close. Farming is the process of ripping that niche open again and again. It is an annual artificial catastrophe, and it requires the equivalent of three or four tons of TNT per acre for a modern American farm. Iowa’s fields require the energy of 4,000 Nagasaki bombs every year.

A two-pound bag of breakfast cereal burns the energy of a half-gallon of gasoline in its making. All together the food-processing industry in the United States uses about ten calories of fossil-fuel energy for every calorie of food energy it produces. That number does not include the fuel used in transporting the food from the factory to a store near you, or the fuel used by millions of people driving to thousands of super discount stores on the edge of town, where the land is cheap.

Necklaces on ball payers...

Uniwatch features a great article on the memorable neckwear of certain baseball players.

Turk Wendell. When you brush your teeth between innings, wave to the centerfielder, and wear No. 99, you're a character. When you insist that every financial figure in your contract end in "99," you're eccentric. But when you go hunting and put the teeth and claws of the animals you've shot onto a big, garish necklace, which you wear during games, you're just a freak.

Check out this guy.

Neil Young's new album

Neil Young's new album, Living With War, can be heard in its entirety on his web site. The NYTs has a great article documenting the amazing prodution of the album.

"On Tuesday[5-02-06] a higher-quality version will be for sale as a download from online music stores, and a CD will be in stores next week as soon as it can be manufactured and shipped. Eventually a DVD will be released with video of the recording sessions, which took place March 29 to April 6. Many of the songs on the album were first takes, recorded immediately after Mr. Young taught them to the band. On March 31 he wrote three songs: "Let's Impeach the President" before breakfast, "Looking for a Leader" after he recorded "Let's Impeach the President" and "Roger and Out" the same evening.

I move out of Massachusetts and in comes free health care.

The NYT is reporting that Massachusetts has passed a bill to offer universal health care to its citizens. This is the first time a state has been able to offer this right to its citizens.

"Individuals who can afford private insurance will be penalized on their state income taxes if they do not buy it. Government subsidies to private insurance plans will enable more of the working poor to be able to afford insurance and will expand the number of children who are eligible for free coverage. And businesses with more than 10 workers that do not provide insurance will be assessed a fee of up to $295 per employee per year."

It also will provide insurance to %95 of the current uninsured population of the state. This is a remarkable and should act as a model for other states or perhaps the federal government to address the health care crisis in this nation.

"'It is not a typical Massachusetts-Taxachusetts, oh just crazy liberal plan,' said Stuart H. Altman, dean of the Heller Graduate School for Social Policy and Management at Brandeis University. 'It isn't that at all. It is a pretty moderate approach and that's what's impressive about it. It tried to borrow and blend a lot of different pieces.'"

Clutch Hitting

I have always hated the term 'clutch hitting.' I always preferred ‘situational hitting.’ If a hitter knows when (count, situation, etc.) to take something off his swing or swing for the yard or go to the opposite field, then he will be a better hitter all around. And isn’t a run scored early in a game just as important as the one that wins the game for you. A hitter can not be in a situation to win the game with out that earlier run. ESPN page 2 elaborates. Great article.
