Just stopping by. Throughout the day. When I started this blog I imagined I would be sharing insight into Magic deck design and baseball with an audience. Granted I never thought the audience would be large and, really, it would take a significant amount of time for the audience to grow into some appreciable level. A 3.5 month lay off probably is not detrimental in the grand scheme of things. I return because my voice yearns to communicate with the wider world yet I shrunk from fear that I have very little to say. I need to embrace what little I have to say.

Regarding Magic:
I'll be considering sealed as I await attending the Houston Grand Prix June 15, 2013. I should post sealed pools and attempt to discern what I can build from such pools.

Regarding baseball:
I'm a bit of a degenerate about it. I'll be posting picks I make using a proprietary and jurassic method. My system is very pre-cambrian in sophistication modeling and simulating baseball games. I can't even model home run frequency. I just count them as doubles. I'm sure I'll share more of my methods as the season wears on. Instead I'll just let the success or failure of my picks speaks for themselves. I'll title each day as the growth of my world dominating power, starting at 1.

Fortunate breaks for my predictions:
-Scott Kazmir leaving after 3 innings, 7 Hits, 5 earned runs
-Evan Longoria's power
-The unpredictability of the Knuckle Ball. Similar to the ironic twists in wishes from a monkey's paw.
-Johnny Cueto being Rusty
-Oakland's speed
-Jeremy Guthrie's inability to avoid Home Runs
-Colorado's inability to go yard at home.
-Nick Markakis 

Conspirators against my success:
-Hisashi Iwakuma regressing
-Robert Andino getting thrown out at home in the top of the 4th
-Toronto's mind boggling line-up. It's Beane's OBP A's again. Except its OPS heavy on SLG
-Believing in the Mets
-The Yankees playing Home Run Derby against the O's
-Undone by Adam Dunn :(
