You Aren't a FanGraphs Member
It looks like you aren't yet a FanGraphs Member (or aren't logged in). We aren't mad, just disappointed.
We get it. You want to read this article. But before we let you get back to it, we'd like to point out a few of the good reasons why you should become a Member.
1. Ad Free viewing! We won't bug you with this ad, or any other.
2. Unlimited articles! Non-Members only get to read 10 free articles a month. Members never get cut off.
3. Dark mode and Classic mode!
4. Custom player page dashboards! Choose the player cards you want, in the order you want them.
5. One-click data exports! Export our projections and leaderboards for your personal projects.
6. Remove the photos on the home page! (Honestly, this doesn't sound so great to us, but some people wanted it, and we like to give our Members what they want.)
7. Even more Steamer projections! We have handedness, percentile, and context neutral projections available for Members only.
8. Get FanGraphs Walk-Off, a customized year end review! Find out exactly how you used FanGraphs this year, and how that compares to other Members. Don't be a victim of FOMO.
9. A weekly mailbag column, exclusively for Members.
10. Help support FanGraphs and our entire staff! Our Members provide us with critical resources to improve the site and deliver new features!
We hope you'll consider a Membership today, for yourself or as a gift! And we realize this has been an awfully long sales pitch, so we've also removed all the other ads in this article. We didn't want to overdo it.

Carson Cistulli has published a book of aphorisms called Spirited Ejaculations of a New Enthusiast.
carson, you do not eat a slim jim. rather, you snap into it.
Oooh, yeah!
autoaristocrat? fan-tastic!
I strongly disagree with the title of this podcast. Dayn Perry can help me. He can most certainly help me.
I stand corrected. Dayn Perry can help you contract a social disease.
He also probably knows where to acquire mescaline in most of the larger Midwestern cities.
He can probably also get you banned somehow from the SPCA.
I’m not sure Dayn Perry can help anyone when it comes to baseball. At CBS site he actually called the move of Casey Janssen to the closer role a “sign of desperation”. Really, I’m not making this up. A pitcher with 11/1 K/BB ratio, and 2.21 SIERA, and he calls it a sign of desperation.
For all those interested and regarding the inter-library loan system:
The call number for Dayn Perry’s “Business and Fucking: Secrets to Crushing the Competition in the Boardroom and Bedroom” is ‘F69.8===D~’

“Dayn Perry sucks.”

“On Lying in Bed” was written by G.K. Chesterton not Samuel Johnson. But you were only off by about 150 years or so.
I think Cistulli was understandably fixated on encroaching death more than the meaningless minutiae of who actually authored “On Lying in Bed”. It happens.
