“In the dirt. Great save by Baker. Mmm. Wonderful play by the catcher. Isn’t it amazing, the crowd never roars? Somebody else might make a play, ‘Look at that! Wow!’ But the crowd, not a word. A catcher’s play, always overlooked.”—
Vin Scully
As a former catcher and the father of a catcher, this is so absolutely true..

Apple’s welcome letter for new hires.
Can the same be said of the company you’re building?

Even though I’m working at Apple because of the Chomp acquisition, I cannot put into words the impact this little piece of paper made on me and continues to make on me. I have it at my desk as a constant reminder of where I am and where I want to be.
“I’ve never seen a more classless, gutless, chicken-shit act in my 30 years in baseball. Cole Hamels says he’s old school? He’s the polar opposite of old school. He’s fake tough. He thinks he’s going to intimidate us after hitting our 19-year rookie who’s eight games into the big leagues? He doesn’t know who he’s dealing with.”— Mike Rizzo, Nationals GM, has Bryce Harper’s back
Here’s the thing though, in the National League when you do something like what Hamels did, you know as a pitcher that you will become a target. You make the calculated assessment of the situation and you are OK with the outcome. He didn’t throw at Harper’s head, which probably is the reason he was hit in the ankle. Harper’s aggressive base running probably had everything to do with getting hit as opposed to getting on base any other way. I think it was a win-win all around personally.
That being said, I do like the Nat’s GM having Harper’s back.
RIP

I’m thinking this will be what Ryan Gosling wears for the sequel to ‘Drive’
Wife: When are you leaving?
Me: Soon. Well soonish. I’m in the middle of something and when I finish it I’ll leave. Shouldn’t take long.
Wife: That means nothing to me. What does that mean?
Me: Well… I’m trying not to be an ass-hole, seriously I don’t want it to sound like an ass-hole, cause I don’t mean it that way and say ‘The sooner I get off the phone the sooner I can leave.’
Cannot tell you the amount of times I’ve had this same conversation…

Nicely done, sir.
‘Mr. Rooney… Ed… you’re a beautiful man. I want to thank you for your warmth and compassion. ‘
I constantly listen to music during my work day, but I’m constantly struggling to find the right balance between loud, soft, fast, slow, distracting, not-distracting, etc. Inspired by today’s rainy day in San Francisco I’ve put together a Chillwave station on Pandora. You can listen to it …
This is really making the afternoon much better. Excellent stuff, Matt!

Having had Southern California Christmas’ for the past 26 out of 28 years, I would very much like this to happen soon or maybe I just need to take the family somewhere to experience this at Christmas.
