Opening Day in Arizona and Venezuela, and good news from the land of the Javelina:
Science marches on. CBS news reports "a new study by British scientists finds that women tend to be more attracted, or in some cases turned off, by the way a man can dance." See the video.
This was a scientific study, the world is told, and was not done just to provide employment to idle minds. The idea was to find which male dance moves appeal to the female. Why? To discover the best mating dance? Why?
Q. Anything else?
A. SSI continues to bask in the warm glow of Theo Epstein's remark over Felix Hernandez: if there were one player you'd start a team with...
Had a chance to scope Senor Pineda, Deuce Ackley, et al on Monday night. Must be cool to fan 10 men per game when the other team has the pitches. Pineda has two grotesque tells, and in 80-odd pitches, the Aces didn't swing in front of a slider/change or behind a fastball
But Zduriencik knows exactly what has been said on his non-support of the manager -- at least in public -- since the Figgins argument in the dugout.

In 2005 a woman goes to a bar, planning to drink and party. Turns out the "Girls Gone Wild" video team is there. Signs are posted. However, she refuses to sign the consent form. If there is a more clear way to signal "I do not consent" than refusing to sign a consent form, I can't think of it.

Apparently a lot of people do! But why? The hysteria over the state of her hystera is perplexing to those of us who have little interest in the reproductive decisions of complete strangers. The rumor mill has been churning overtime in Aniston's case, who has been reported to be pregnant by various random sources and tabloids for months now.
CRUNCH3, UPSIDE: Relevant question #3 is, do the Mariners have a good chance to become a good team?

Problem B is pettiness and small-mindedness by the young player(s) who reportedly themselves broke code, by running to the teacher and trying to get another kid kept after school.
