So I'm doing radio last night when someone asks me about the book. I paused, not sure if he meant BP 2004 or STP. I figure that I know where my bread is buttered and get in the BP plug and of course, he meant STP. I gave him the scoop and he asked how long it took and I said, "well, I'll let you know when I'm done!" He laughed and asked what I was working on now and I said "Newtonian physics and fluid dynamics."

Pause.

I've really got to start thinking of better answers to questions like that.

I'm sure everyone's been reading David Pinto's defensive work. Good stuff, if admittedly I don't understand it fully. I know three of the people (tho David only in the bloggy email sense) that the Mets considered for their stats position ... since none of them got it, they better have hired someone REALLY good or they deserve to suck.
