40/70 Benchmark

Luck is involved in science...its called chaos and is the reason for variance. If there were no luck involved in science, then there would be no variance and similar variable would always lead to a similar outcome. But that isn't the case. This is why it's best to view patterns in a probabilisric sense, as opposed to anticipated outcomes.

I have been saying how great he has been, but I have to agree he is kicking the can a bit here.

Even if the RNA is 1-2SD....its better than the record 3SD that we have had. The hope for the first half of January is that we can cash in on the period when the NAO is relinquishing its grip en route to the thaw.

So isn't death, as least we know that will ultimately verify.

Now Cosgrove is saying late January/early February for any real winter weather in the northeast.

Completely agree.....although, I did correctly predict the Sox for a low 90s win total and Wild Card contention. I also knew they had a shot at beating TB because they were too reliant on young, unproven SP.

Edge of my seat....

Its been going into phase 8 since the equinox.

Well, at the very least, I will take 50 and rain over 32.50454453482429422 and rain for a change.

I didn't realize that one was unexpected. Wasn't paying enough attention in the crib, I guess. Did it back in?

They are hilarious.....kill me, but he won't reveal his secret

This is what I was getting at...that is the absolute worst nightmare of a season....it wasn't even warm. It was actually cold, and on paper, you would have been happy with that season....but it just invented ways to not snow around here. Imagine having a season so cold that LI sound freezes over, adorned in snowfall futility records.... Give me 2011-2012 over that. lol

This we can agree on.

We need one TBH....breakup the chain of precip type-migraine laden, still born SWs that are born from this cosmic butt-plug of desconstructive wave interference.

Where do you get your memes? They are so hilarious...I need to know lol

Part of it is that the NBA is so cliquey.....and the super stars only conglomerate to form their circle jerk teams in certain cities. Good luck in that landscape if you aren't a destination.

Right....common during a rebuild....which began after the 4th title in 14 years.

I think your take is tone deaf. The Red Sox have won 4 titles in the past 17 years, and are ahead of schedule in a rebuild coming off an off season in which no one gave them a chance in hell. I would have said the same thing he did. Claiming that they were closer to missing the PS than winning a WS is dumb because they did make the post season. Celtics are a different story...they have a young core that has evolved into perennial underachievers and don't have much room for upward mobility as a team. The Red Sox can get any star they want if they pay up, the Cs can not.

How was your experience with PD I, Steve? Were you hopeful that was going to trend north enough?

I know.

My locale. Don't you have a puppy to rescue? lol

I think my futility season of 1978-1979 was one of these.

This is what I was getting at in a since deleted post....the WORST pattern is a coolish regime fraught with deconstructive interference, like this. I woud take 2019-2020, or 2011-2012 over this.

I have no idea why you break his balls over falling six wins shy of a WS title when they weren't even supposed to contend...you act as if they underachieved. It makes no sense.

This is why I laughed when you asked if I was going to blog about last night.
