Off Topic: Layoff Days

Today or Tomorrow is a massive layoff day for my business. The rumors start swirling around the office. This number or that number are going to get laid off. The layoff is going to happen in this location or that location. You hear them all. Different people have different information but chances are you want to know everything because you're curious about calculating the odds that your heads will be one of those on the blocks.

And then the day finally comes and eventually you see someone crying on your floor telling everyone they've been laid off. You'll see someone just resigned to the fact that they no longer have a job as they pack up their stuff into little brown boxes. It is nothing short of an incredible company moral boost.

Anyway, come this time tomorrow or Friday I may no longer have a job or a computer or a cell phone or essentially anything. We shall see.

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...
