I'm an idiot. Not all of the time, mind you, not even most of the time, but every now and then, I'm an idiot.

"It's not about baseball. It's about data." And, I put it on my reading list, and then still failed to read it. I even bought the book, but still failed to read it That was a mistake.
I just got done watching the movie "Moneyball" for the second time. The first time I watched it was last night. It's the only time I've watched the same movie twice in two days.
