Book Club!
- My incredibly resourceful wife picked the wrong shipping on the book
- As a result, I won't have it by Tuesday.
- Sadly, I will not be able to participate this week.
- I will catch up for next week, I promise!
- I love pecan pie.

You can read Mark Cuban’s intro and the Prologue on Fangraphs (The link is from fangraphs, and it’s a nice full-page reader from scribd).
and, then; Chapter 1- Stalking Horse here. It starts on p. 15 There are a few pages taken out, but it should take you to p. 31 (and then, a couple of pages into Chapter 2 – The Wrong CEO)
I’m completely aware the use of excerpts is nothing new to you or anyone else, but, I thought it might help to have the Foreword, Prologue and Ch 1 in order.
Just so you’ll have something to still talk about!
Hopefully, you can still get the book by Tuesday, and start on p. 31 Chapter II The Wrong CEO and Chapter III The LaMar Principle pp. 48-62. The two chapters should be a fairly quick read for you, if you could somehow get it Tuesday morning or afternoon, even.
Also, it looks like it is available in a lot of libraries throughout Wisconsin. (Again – yes, of course you know this. I just want you to get your book!)
Take care!
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.

There's a lot of repeating/rephrasing of how bad the Rays were and why
In the first few chapters, with lots of anecdotes about how cheap ownership was and all the dick moves they made. If you get to read any of the first three chapters you’re good to participate because of the overlap, imo.
