Good analogy, yes or no?

To be able to produce a consistent return in anything, one must prove that the game is not decided by chance but by skill. In baseball, the Yankees always buy the best players and consistently produce returns, by making the playoffs every year. Although nearly everyone considers baseball to be considered a skill game, there are luck factors in it just like there are luck factors in poker. James McManus, a writer for The New York Times, points out the luck factors in baseball. He talks about how different umpires could call one pitch a strike and one a ball, how the wind can push down a ball that could be a home-run one day and how it could make a ball that wasn’t hit well a home-run the next day (D7). Although luck is a factor in the game, the reason that the Yankees keep winning is that skill is the biggest factor in the long-run. It is easy to illustrate the long-run by showing that the Yankees keep making the playoffs because of a long season where they win consistently. Unfortunately, these same Yankees haven’t won a championship in many years because in each round of the playoffs the teams only play until one team wins three games. Even though the Yankees may be the better team, natural factors and things out of their control have led to their losses in the short-term playoffs recently.

I like the analogy. It would be better if the Red Sox were used as the reference instead of the Yankees, though. The Yankees haven't won a world series since you were in Kindergarten, Prod.

at first I thought you were listing all of the pokertracker player type icons, but now I get it.


I'm heading to Venice & Milan this weekend for a little trip. Anyone recommend any sights or hotels, etc in either city?
Is there live poker in Italy?

I'm drunk on Keystone Light...that is the not-so-balla drink of choice. $50 for a keg, you cant' beat it!

We had a Blackout party. $10 for 60 trash bags to cover the wall = depressing apartment. Actually, it is still currently going on. WTF am I doing surfing 2+2 at this hour?

Damn, I type good when intoxicated...

Go to San Siro for a game.

AC Milan and Inter alternate playing so there's a game every weekend.

Barcelona is the most entertaining team to watch by far IMO.

The skill and speed of their attacking players is second to none.

Had planned to fly to Barcelona but I'm flying standby on Delta and the flight is full. I would have loved to see Ronaldinho play live. The Milan flight is almost empty... hopefully i'll get business class and obtain offical balla status
