Lou's Magic Coin

I agree with the sentiment about our closer candidates, but, what the heck is a three-sided coin?

"I can't go wrong with either three," said Piniella in his own wordspeak. "I could flip a coin right now and feel comfortable with any of them."

While you ponder that, also contemplate the state of the Cardinals, as the Post-Dispatch has a piece on Jason Marquis.
Only a baker's dozen of National League pitchers have won at least 10 games in each of the last four seasons. And at least one of them, Jason Marquis of the Chicago Cubs, isn't assured of a starting job this season, let alone even being with the Cubs at all.

Hey, if you guys want him back, that's cool.

I just woke up and read this and mistook it for "Lou's Magic Colon", which is really confusing first thing in the morning.

At what time of day would that not be confusing?

I work at a hospital, so some things are just accepted there. We've had a few 'magic' colons after a colonoscopy. Or after an impacted bowel. Either way, it's messy.

Just roll a D6 - a six-sided die, or I guess just a die - and divide by two, round up to the nearest whole number. Voila!

The SABR/D&D references spread like kudzu.

I'll begrudgingly accept your die-for-coin replacement. But explain "either three" for me.

Lou is so much more fun than Dusty. Dusty's quotes just pissed you off. Lou's make you laugh. Dusty should have just kept his mouth shut. Lou should be in front of a microphone at all times.
