The tranny I’ve seen at the gym got breast implants and wasn’t wearing an extreme amount of makeup.  She looks a lot better

Perhaps the only good side-effect of not being allowed to do any eating contests, is that the few that will accept you will pay cash even if you don’t eat very much

Hotdog contest last weekend.  Each one was only half sized.  Finished first three trays in under five minutes, then waited about 20 seconds for the fourth one the be brought out.  Finished the fourth tray in about two minutes, then with more than two minutes left, they were all out of hotdogs.  They still gave me some cash despite the meal being so much smaller than I used to be able to eat

Invited to a bar afterward.  Told they had wings that were extremely spicy, offered complimentary.  I’ve never had much problem eating anything spicy.  These ones burned my soul

Bar also had a burger that was double sized, also complimentary.  Very little desire to eat that sort of meal.  But the waitress was so hot and giving off good vibes that I went back the next day.  At 8:00 pm hugged the waitress and asked when her shift was over.  Said it depended on how busy it was.  Left to digest the burger with the plan of going back to see her again.  At midnight, only a small crowd of customers and she was gone

Mariano Rivera’s career may be over. Best reliever in history. So where does he rank among all pitchers?

Next month is the anniversary of the single best pitched game in baseball history. Doc Ellis pitching a no-hitter while tripping on LSD

Second best game was Pedro Martinez 17-strike out, one-hitter against the Yankees on September 10, 1999

For a career, measuring pitching success is pretty straight forward. How well are they able to stop the other team from scoring and how much time do they spend doing it. Innings pitched and ERA+ are the best stats, using only those stats and adjusting for the fact that sports performance generally increases from one generation to the next is mostly all required to make this list

Top 30 Pitchers in History (post-1900, Cy Young would be between 10 and 15)
1 Roger Clemens What I wrote two years ago is still true A unanimous Cy Young award in 1986, 20 years later he had the lowest ERA of the 21st century. In between there were six more years he was the best pitcher in the league, another seven years he was a legitimate ace and an additional eight years he was a solid contributor. Greg Maddux and Randy Johnson can’t match that; without exaggeration, that’s essentially double what Sandy Koufax did
2 Walter Johnson
3 Tom Seaver
4 Lefty Grove
xx Satchel Paige
5 Greg Maddux
6 Pete Alexander
7 Randy Johnson
8 Bob Gibson
9 Warren Spahn
10 Christy Mathewson

Paige is the fourth or fifth best pitcher in history. That’s clear to see. Won’t give him a ranking because I would have no clue where to rank the second or third best pitchers from the Negro Leagues. In just 10 years after segregation ended five black players began their careers who are still ranked among the top five at their position (Jackie Robinson, Ernie Banks, Willie Mays, Hank Aaron and Frank Robinson). Hard to believe Smokey Joe Williams doesn’t deserve consideration for a place in the top 20. Yet I wouldn’t have a clue where to put any others

That list took only a few minutes and I’m confident it is correct and willing to support it. The next 20 are so close. Would take hours to separate. If you care to know the exact order, just check out baseballreference and compare ERA+, IP and peak values. Maybe I’ll re-write this later when I have the ability to sit for hours. Instead, groups of five, in chronological order, number 11-15:
Carl Hubbell, Bob Feller, Robin Roberts, Steve Carlton, Pedro Martinez

16-20:
Sandy Koufax, Whitey Ford, Juan Marichal, Jim Palmer, Tom Glavine

21-25:
Ed Walsh, Gaylord Perry, Ferguson Jenkins, Nolan Ryan, John Smoltz

26-30:
Mordecai Brown, Phil Niekro, Bert Blyleven, Mike Mussina, Mariano Rivera

“Would you be willing to have sex with someone you didn’t like for $1 million?”
“For $1 million I guess I would be able to endure it for a few minutes”
“Here’s $20, let’s go to my room and have sex”
“What kind of woman do you think I am?”
“Lady, we’ve already established the kind of woman you are, now we’re just negotiating the price”

it’s funny because economics is always such a humorous subject

The most puzzling question in economics:

Tim Harford fielded this question a couple years ago: why has the price of weed remained the same over decades, roughly $10 per gram in the 1980s and still $10 per gram today?

Harford is a bright guy and almost always has insightful commentary, yet couldn’t come up with an answer

When there is nothing to write about, there is always sex and drugs to write about. Or baseball. By the time his contract runs out Barry Zito will have earned over $143 million for his career. For Alfonso Soriano, it will be close to $160 million

An observation I heard was that women who try online dating like to insist for “No Drama.” They ask for this because they’ve experienced their share of drama in the past (whatever it is that means to them). This is because they do stuff that creates drama

There is a place to write what you’re looking for. Mostly it’s either “Dating” or “Long Term Relationship.” Very rarely will someone put “Just Friends.” I put “Happiness,” because that’s the only thing I’m looking for. One time I got an email from a woman who wrote that she was looking for “Lots of Freaky Stuff”

We exchanged emails and she would say how she was into the freakiest things imaginable and no one else could handle it and it always caused her relationships to fall apart. I assured her all I cared about was the freakiest things I could think of

We met, chatted briefly, then went to her house. She told me to wait for a minute while she got ready. She returned a moment later with handcuffs and a whip, wearing nothing but strategically placed whip cream and a midget on her shoulders

I was like, “I’m all set, I’ll be leaving now.”

She was like “I thought you were into freaky stuff.”

I was like “I already fucked the vacuum cleaner, ate all your cereal and took everything from your purse and shoved it into my butt.”

I took the midget off her shoulders and went home
