Me: It's a sickness, but it only affects us, so that's OK. You should read my most recent post "How My Mind Works." It starts with reading an article in a Baseball Digest from 1967. The article mentions Sonny Siebert. So I look up Sonny's stats in the MacMillan Encyclopedia. Then I go to baseball-reference.com to see who the most similar pitchers were. Then I start looking up their stats. Pretty soon it's dark out, I've had 3 glasses of wine, the dishes aren't done and I'm in trouble with the wife. All over Sonny Siebert! I'm in trouble with the old lady because I cheated on her with Sonny frickin Siebert!
