The Boron Sheikh

I remember reading a paper in grad school back in the late 2000s where the authors USED MATH to estimate it would only take about ~200 "encounters" to introduce the current amount of Neanderthal DNA into the Homo Sapien genome. Wish I could remember the name of the paper or the authors....

Snatched his soul right out of his body.

every fan of an AL team should be experiencing secondhand shame that this is the best team their league produced. you should all feel like Lord Toranaga when Tadayoshi spoke out of turn at the Council of Regents

Wife pontificating about the linguistic nature of baseball organ piano playing.

I step into the sauna for 30 minutes, and this is what happens!?!

Sexcellent.

Watching a kids cooking show on YouTube when the chef’s sidekick suddenly hints at some deep unsettling childhood trauma.

You know who else looked incredible practicing their batting swing naked in front of a mirror? Rickey Henderson.

30% chance he’ll get his second hit? You mean to tell me you needed Google Gemini to tell me his batting average this postseason is .300?

What was that on Aranda’s belt? Was that Baby Shark?

I will always love Jose Canseco. No matter how swole he got, his face always looked like he’d just shed his baby fat.

Wait, did the 3rd base coach actually wave him in? Because if he did, that coach needs to be fired before the start of the 7th.

Man this Cleavinger guy is a real specimen.

What would happen if a guy gets tagged out at 2nd, but then gets up and finishes running the bases back to home?

Turns out, after someone puts a “HaHa” on a text message, your joke-ruining typo gets locked in stone for all eternity.

Waking up from the coma I’ve been in for the past 4 hours: “Wait what? Giannis plays for Miami now? LaMello is in Minnesota? What the fuck just happened?!”

Damn, his feet are big.

You telling me all those sweaty guys are sharing the *same* metal helmet each time one of them hits a home run? Do they get visits from the school nurse checking for lice?

If the Rays send Martinez out for the 6th inning, they will lose this game.

1 kg = 2.2 lb 1 Scaramucci = 2.2 Zacharia Obviously, when it comes to measuring time-to-firing, the Scaramucci is the metric unit while Zacharia is imperial.

Good god, Milwaukee is a fucking buzzsaw.

Look at all these rich dentists sitting behind home plate.

what I'm getting from this is that if we had medicare for all, the dodgers are up 2-1 in the series

😂

I’d really love to have a guy like Kiké Hernández as my team’s center fielder. He’s super cool.

Me, excitedly telling the 9yo about Euler and Gauss: “They invented half of math.” 9yo: “People still invent math?” Me: “Yeah, all the time.” 9yo: “Can they invent math for my sack of balls?”

Oh no. Oh nooo. Ooohhh nooooooo (complimentary)
