You have TV people over...

and you don’t even dress Gorman up properly?!?!?!

(Seriously though, super, super cool, man.)

Usually they get footage where it looks like people are pretending to work...

But you were not pretending. How long does a Mug take (on average)?

p.s. Congratulations!

FanGraphs should consider a venue for a Gallery Night... they could even serve a cake with a Win Expectancy Chart of the 7/7/11 Brewers' game etched in the frosting, and 7-up. Oh, yeah - and t-shirts that say "SABR-Friday." I'm totally there.

An average in-season Mug this year is probably close to 4 hours.

I’m usually up at 6:30, at my desk by 6:45 and the Mug is sometimes up by 11.

Now that's great tasting chicken!

That's awesome.

It looked like you were making a collage, too. I don’t think I could do something like that every day, and with a certain time window in mind.

Now, we need a Lolo 3 demo! (BCB pt. II)

Awesome story!

I love this site.

I am too drunk to taste this chicken.

Great job, Kyle!

You make my life so much easier!

Very cool!

I was disappointed with the lack of hookers but the pancakes were delightful

You're the man Kyle.

Glad to see you have a dual-monitor setup

as opposed to my policy of doing everything on a 10.1" netbook.

JP is famous! Woooooooo

As much as I am glad to see you getting recognition for the quality work you do Kyle, I hope this doesn’t cause a massive influx of OV denizens.

Also, Gorman looks super excited to play!

congrats on the feature

Gorman

make sure the publicity doesn’t go to his head- he may start demanding that the lobster costume be dry cleaned before each rally.

Just saw the morning coverage on Fox 11 up here - Nice job and congrats, Kyle.

by Zack Greinke's Paxil on Oct 7, 2011 7:05 AM CDT reply actions

That's pretty cool

I had no idea Fox 11 was going to pick up the story.

Now that's great tasting chicken!

Angela Kelly mangled the site name at the end of the video segment, but it was neat.

Mrs. ZGP came and got me and said “I think they’re doing a story on that site you hang out on during games.” I assumed it was a pickup of the story about Stigmo and wouldn’t have been disappointed because it’s a good story in its own right, but this was cool.

Your place is a lot cleaner and memorabilia-free than I imagined ;)

It comes across that way in the piece, doesn't it?

My office isn’t a disaster, but it’s not usually that tidy.

Now that's great tasting chicken!

Looks like they made KL's day earlier too

Kyle says he’s up by 4 a.m. every day, scouring websites and checking up for news on the Brew Crew.

Yeah, I'm not sure they watched the original story.

Now that's great tasting chicken!

i literally LOL'ed at your user name

by torts on Oct 7, 2011 7:25 AM CDT up reply actions

Thanks to everyone for the kind words.

I wasn’t sure the story was going to be interesting because I don’t think I’m that interesting, but I’m grateful to the news crew for making the trip.

Now that's great tasting chicken!

Great stuff

Good to see that your hard work has paid off! Congrats

Very nice digs, Kyle.

I see your mother’s basement even has windows.

DAMNIT

You beat me to it. UGH!!!!

"That's not a weird stat. Rickie is a run-scorer," Yost said. "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter," Yost told reporters. "See, you guys have no concept. He's a run-scorer. So there's nothing weird about it. That's what he does."

I briefly considered moving my desk down into my unfinished basement before they got here, then telling them we had to finish the interview before my mom got home.

Now that's great tasting chicken!

There are certain things about this place I love

Your sense of humor is like number 8 on the list of like 50. Well played, sir.

In related news:

I was contacted by a Venezuelan TV station that’s doing a 30-for-30 style expose on the death of Quevedo at the Buffet.

It's a snuff film! Don't do it!

No, it's OK.

I just have to wire $50,000 to a Venezuelan prince (I didn’t know they had princes, but I’m not very good at geography) an they’ll make me an executive producer.
