And a hello to all the other USS Mariner readers who came by to see what sort of weirdo I am. Today Derek Zumsteg mentioned that Baseball America super-writer Alan Schwarz had written a followup column on the "stats vs. scouts" debated that's been nibbling at baseball fans like so many rabid goslins over the last few years. In his "reader reactions" section he excerpts one of my comments on the USSM site -- twice.
I think this is a good thing for me, since it means that, apparently, I'm funny, or insightful, or can just make odd comment on meteorology. I think, though, what's far better is that this means Baseball America super-writer Alan Schwarz is reading USSM. That's a credit to the fine job Derek, David, and Jason do writing USSM.
And by the way, it looks like about 30% of people with USSM referrers are using Firefox. This is supposed to be a Microsoft town, isn't it?
