not really exponential.......since it's never technically doubled...

actually, 50% => 100% is doubled

You realize that squaring and cubing percents (decimals), makes the number smaller, right?

at least that type of a curve....
by Fernando Vina School of Linguistics on May 6, 2009 10:12 PM EDT up reply actions
You need to get yerself some lernin'
An asymptote of a real-valued function y = f(x) is a curve which describes the behavior of f as either x or y tends to infinity.
In other words, as one moves along the graph of f(x) in some direction, the distance between it and the asymptote eventually becomes smaller than any distance that one may specify.
If a curve A has the curve B as an asymptote, one says that A is asymptotic to B. Similarly B is asymptotic to A, so A and B are called asymptotic.
A linear asymptote is essentially a straight line to which a graphed curve becomes closer and closer but does not become identical.
Royals baseball. Where .260 would be orgasmic.
The General Theory of Royaltivity
That's what I'm saying
if you say it’s asympotic, then you’re implying we’ll never win, because we’ll never reach 100%, right?

Btw, I don't know what Minda's news was earlier but I have a feeling
it has something to do with Hosmer. He is not in the lineup tonight for Burlington
Official Callaspo Countdown to Cooperstown: 2861 hits to go!
Dunno
I was talking with a friend of mine who lives in Wisconsin and saw the game last night. He had a rough go of it, something like 0 for 4 with 3 K’s so maybe he’s just getting the day off.
Unless Greg is teasing a different thing than he told me yesterday...
it is not Hosmer.
But then again, tonight’s news could be different than what he told me yesterday. But then again again, we would all have heard it if already it was Hosmer.
WTF, self?
I'm glad it's not Hosmer
and it looked like Moustakas played tonight as well

Banny Daytime Question and Score Disbelief
I just turned on the game and thought the score read 8-7 because I couldnt believe it was 8-1. I kept staring at the Seattle score thinking that the 7 sure looked like a 1.
Good job, Sir Sidney.
I can’t remember: Was Bannister really good or really bad during the day in 2007? I have a vague recollection that Banny was really good in day games and not so much good in night games for awhile but I can’t remember positively which or whether that pattern held up.

Looks like
3.20 ERA in the day (39 IP)
4.08 ERA at night (125 IP)
Last year, not so much
5.78 in 71.2
5.76 in 111
there were initially stories about him being good during the day...
overall he was slightly better during the day in 08, but not by much
it started getting "steam" during his good first month or so of 2008

Can I just take a minute and point out that
Seattle signing Carlos Silva for the money they did is worse than the Royals signings of Guillen/Bloomy/Farnsworth put together. Why the hell did they think he could pitch?
by AxDxMx on May 6, 2009 10:36 PM EDT reply actions 1 recs
At first glance I assumed you were wrong
but 4 yrs 48 million… I stand corrected.
You mean, why would you let us sign Gil for $11/per
and then give $12/per to fucking Carlos Silva?
If you don't understand it, kill it.
same guy signed him as kept Bloomquist around
and signed Jose Guillen in the first place, as well as Ritchie Sexson
Of course, Bavasi also had his “Meche Moment” with Adrian Beltre… granted, some people think that was a terrible deal.

Didn't we just hear something about Farnsworth and lefty power hitters?
I’m not sure if Griffey still qualifies, but I guess we’ll see..
yes, its the leverage that's the problem

is it wrong to have hoped that Farnsy had hurt his pitching hand
on that play?

Farnsworth is actually pitching pretty good.

Could we make Farnsworth a sash that says "The Professor"
Then have Hillman march out there break Farnsworth’s glasses over his knee, tear the the sash off and give it to Banny

Definitely
