and all the internet nerds had were polyhedral dice and PDP-11s.

Screw you! Some of us have replica phasers and lightsabers too. And HP-41CVs in hip holsters.

What is a corporate cost analyst?

A cost accountant. In other words, the nerdiest profession without the words “actuary” or “web” in the job title.

Says the web site manager.

Well, come on, no team in baseball would continue to employ a manager whose on-field strategy consistently hurt the team’s chances of winning…

Wait, what’s that you said? Har-WHO?

Nevermind.

Okay. There are a few things we can sort of maybe judge managers with other than wins and losses, though: for example, how does his win-loss record stack up to the runs scored/allowed ratio of his teams? And how does the runs scored match up with the complete batting records? Etc. (I don’t know how La Russa fares by those measures.)
