mouseandhat Wednesday: The Curse of the Billy Goat
After working as a sports copy editor for a central Ohio newspaper for about a month and a half, looking over stories from Cleveland and Cincinnati as well as any number of other places around the world, I have gathered some knowledge about the typical sports news article. It seems to me that no other section of news is so devoted to statistics. Tidbits of information that seem inconsequential out of context - a pitcher's ERA versus left-handed batters, for instance, or the at-bat ratings of a particular batter against a particular team - suddenly bear so much importance when applied to an upcoming game or, even more so, the upset of a game that just happened.

"Inception" was intentionally marketed in such a way that viewers, upon seeing the trailer, would have little idea about the plot of the movie. One thing is clear: This film is unique, monumental and, quite possibly, complex.
