Dodgers' "Unclutchness" Kept Them Out of The World Series
11/15/2009
I am an independent investment professional who likes sabermetrics (baseball science) because of its similarity to analyzing stocks: download numbers onto an Excel spreadsheet and try to "mine" the data.
In the investment field, I am the author of "A Modern Approach to Graham and Dodd Investing," (Wiley, 2004) and predicted the 2008 stock market crash.

In a post on thestreet.com, I once dubbed the Oakland As' general manager Billy Beane "the Warren Buffett of baseball."

Hi Tom,
And here I thought the interest in Cleveland sports was based on some sort of steel town camaraderie, haha...
Anyway, consider my curiosity piqued; Cleveland to Wall Street...do tell.

Glad you sent that link, what an interesting article! Sadly, in the baseball world, I think Wedge is more Flying Monkey than Wicked Witch.
Also, many thanks for the POTD vote...

Hey,
The biggest week of games to date this season begins for the Mets with Six games against the Phillies and the Yankees, its a real test for a team that has dealt with quite a bit during this early part of the season. With this I'm presenting another version of my Top Five with the subject centering around how the Mets can be successful this week against the Phils and Yanks. I hope you enjoy and thanks in advance.

Its time to finally come clean, Im not a Yankee fan, I only play one on TV and in reality Im a Die Hard Mets fan who is very frustrated with everything surrounding this franchise right now. Then again, its ok cause they're BATTLING every night, right? Wrong and below is my article on the reasons why. Thanks in advance.
