Oh! And if Matt / Wish / amigos wish to comment the Ms game, I'll be watching appreciatively. The Ms 12 game W streak couldnt logically be more than two games away now.
.
As to whose Zenkai power and by how much their already-awesome might will soar ever higher (ahem), fill in your own blank. There are at least a dozen answers available to suit your own taste.

Sorry we have been derelict amigos :-) We're sharing a hospital room with an individual roughly comparable to Leo Durocher and they're getting a little kidney thingie cleared up. Good news on it BTW and we probly head home tomorrow.
Thanks for bearing with us and here's a Freeman Heston chat thread I guess. Churn is a good thing if you figger a dime is being made on every widget on average, which Dr. D does in fact concede to be the case when it comes to Jerry Dipoto's moves taken in mass quantities.
....
Here is an article by Bill James http://www.billjamesonline.com/your_current_and_final_won_lost_record/ which says, in my opinion, that within reason your record after 50 games doesn't mean much… Except for what those actual wins and losses are after 50 games, Yogi. If you're 12-38 pack it in, seeing as you are therefore the Cleveland Spyders. On the other hand if you are 21 and 28, it more likely means that you are seven games behind 500 with 100 games to go.
Jeff Sullivan has a stronger one up at Fangraphs, opining that their preseason projections are about six times more reliable than a won loss record itself,even after 50 games.
But that's not why Dr. D makes the big bucks, pointing out relatively weak articles by lesser writers. The real insight is that there is no harm in waiting to see if the Mariners get hot when they get their pitchers back. Now, that debate proposition, there is a winner. As in politics, victory is all in the grammar.
The M's could get super hot, it says here. Probably you demure. That makes you cooler but sadder, seeing as you gaze on in emotional detachment as our right fielder goes bananas this summer.
Cooler? Sure. Sadder? Obviously. Smarter? That one had been resolved ages ago, so take solace in that much.

Wow, go Ariel. King Corran might have somethin there too. Lad appears to be improving.

....the reports of your demise have been greatly exaggerated!
Glad to have you back, Chief.

Get well soon Doc! You're blog is more interesting than the Mariners. You should hit the morphine button a few times and then play me at chess. The bragging rights would be epic.
4
but I do paradoxically gain about 100 pts when drugged and using a smartphone... I lose the craven aspect to my play.... tells you something about the quality of my spine :- )
jk counselor thanks for saying!
5
That legit made me spit Gatorade.
6
Would be one of the classics.
You would have bragging rights either way, Moj. You either beat him, or lose and have him drug tested for PED's.
7
and would you expect any different from the Mariners, than to get swept by the Jay's and then blow away a division leader? Followed perhaps by a travesty against thE Orcs?
8
you have White Counselor. You can trust me not to use a computer. if 1 e4 or 1 d4 then 1.... c5.
Matt, care for a crack at the Mainframe? You got quiet. It will take iron discipline for you to avoid a computer though; if Mojouses one we will know instantly but you playing well is faintly plausible.
:- )

going by their official ratings LRKrBoi29. Nothing (much) implied about the sizes of their brains.

All right here's the challenge: Saturday, 3:00 p.m. Alaska time. We can play on Pacific time when you are white. I want Dr. Dilaudid, not the 2100 version.
And don't wuss out this time.
-Mojician
11
but does anybody especially you know or care what time 3 pm is in PST dollars? And we're talking blitz on chess.com amigo?
will try (iss a travel day) but if not tomorrow, SOOOOn. You know how to match on that server? Have never done anything but generic searches -
12
10 minute blitz. Be there or your manhood will be on the docket for debate.
13
also, not everything in life is as easy as rolling the neighborhood D.A. on behalf of the Gambinos there Counselor. We will show you real Gung Fu.
still, s gonna have to be Monday or Tuesday for me. Got any time then? Will email you 5 min before or catchoo on SSI or something to arrange the incidentals of your demise.

Last time you went missing for eight days during the regular season, Godzilla had just torn apart Seattle. (err...something like that)
A little warning would be nice! (I know...not always practical, but I was, in fact, legit concerned :\ )
I have to watch the next three games on this archaic box that I still have...I think it's called a teletubby? No...that's not right...
(I almost never watch TV using the live cable...it's so...barbaric...there's this thing called broadband internet)
But, having to watch on the TV precludes me from sitting at the computer commenting on it. Enjoy, y'all...here's hoping Gallardo doesn't suck as spectacularly as he did last time. :\
16
Sometimes I do wonder what percentage of denizens watch the game from the blog… The next day… Starting with me Needless to say....
17
Get well soon good sir! SSI isn't the same without your voice. And the Mariners aren't half as interesting either!

I'm in the USA for a couple more weeks and would love to meet face-to-face if possible, Jeff, even if just for a few minutes' pleasantries and an eye-to-eye handshake.
I'm working on selling my 1965 Mustang, which is a primary reason for my return Stateside, and once I've achieved that objective I'll be hopping a plane and heading back to the wife and kids in the Philippines. Hit my Twitter account if a meet-up is of interest, and I'll try to worm a days' drive into my 'schedule' ;-)
19
Hopefully they discharge me shortly., I get caught up on work a bit before you have to return (gulp) and if nothing else we grab a Starbucks or? Or of course the Bible classes I teach at Summer, which topic we've chatted some back channel, are always public (and an my first stops each week whatever my health) and we could get a McCoffee after if that appeals - email me if desired? Can swap cell #s maybe. Gracias! :- ) :- )
same invitation to class of course applies to anyone interested in saying Hello at any time. But Caleb has been a longtime pen pal amigo offsite :- )

Luv ya, Doc. Glad you're ok. Take care of yourself. If I a chance to be in Gitmo or the hospital, not sure which I'd choose.
