At Mariner Central, an entertaining discussion is in flow as to the different paradigms by which we enjoy, and analyze, baseball.

An interesting debate now runs ...
=== CERA in a Vacuum ===
In a vacuum, you wouldn't use "catcher ERA" as the sole basis of any important decisions.
=== Deep Blue Can Play Chess, But It Can't Play Hockey ===
It seems like we don’t hear much about HIV and AIDS anymore these days; in fact, South Park even did an episode about how cancer is today’s “big disease” and how AIDs just isn’t important anymore. Many people believe that since there have been so many advances in technology and treatment that HIV isn’t as much of a concern.
=== The "Human Element" ===
Although most of the background music in The Sims was provided by noted soundtrack artist Mark Mothersbaugh, Maxis has a long history of tapping up and coming recording artists to lay down Simlish versions of their tracks for the game. Most of these came bundled with the expansion packs University, Nightlife, Pets, and Free Time.
A little while ago, I decided to play a modified (i.e. unofficial) version of one of the many generational Sims 2 challenges. The idea with a generational challenge is to play an entire blood line through a series of generations. In my case, I decided to go whole hog and play through 26 generations, one for each letter of the alphabet.
(My apologies for the poor quality of some of these early pictures. I didn't realize I had my game camera stuck on "medium quality" and "small picture size" for a while.)
