The Dord of Darien

Musings from the Mayor of the Internet

lol @ Mets

Well that’s just Schadenfreuderiffic. After a whole season of leading the NL East, after being up seven games just two weeks ago, the Mets are now officially out of the postseason. They needed to win all of seven of their last seventeen games to be guaranteed a postseason berth, and they couldn’t do it.

Meanwhile, the fucking Rockies may not have won 14 straight to steal the wild card from the back of the pack, but they only missed one which was good enough for a draw. So we’ll see if they can finish stealing the Padres’ season from them tomorrow. I say signs point to yes.

Well said, sir.

I quote Phil Plait:

"Any claim, any explanation of an event, definitely falls within the scope of science. That’s because science is a method of investigation."

This is a great response to the asinine claim that "science doesn’t know everything" that gets thrown around by mystics and charlatans as though science were some sort of naked guru sitting on a mountain that beefy explorers like TV’s Stephen Hawking climb up to consult. The rest of the article is pretty good as well.
