You need 98% to get into Mensa (aka the pretentious dumbasses who are not as smart as they think they are society). The averge Mensan is not a genius, maybe slightly above 2 std dev at around ~132. Does it mean Moose is a genius? Maybe, maybe not. I don't know his exact score. Maybe he got a low score and got in on an athletic scholarship, I don't know enough to guess. I do know, however, he must be smarter than 99.9% of the morons here. (I would say 99.782%, but it appears blog participants here are mostly on the left side of the bell curve and thinks sj44 is a genius) Average sat score of incoming freshman at stanford: ~1470

The players have been through times with George and dealing with Hank is no different. They see Hank's comments about the teams play as just empty statements. The players won't react to anything the front office says until somebody big gets the ax other than the manager. Hank is just blowing dust in the wind.

It looks like he is thinking "I can't believe I'm getting these guys out with this stuff." However, I am ready to take back what I have said about him being done, toast, cooked, washed-up and whatever else I have said. Good job Moose, thanks for proving me and many others wrong!

His dry humor and thought out quotes have been a welcome relief. It can't be said that he isn't gutsy and unlike some of his teammates, he does no fraternization with opposing players on the field. On the field, he's all business and that's not so bad.

The change from last season seems so obvious. I can't resist concluding that Mussina's Stanford diploma does make an intellectual difference. Mussina certainly find a way to make his body tamable to win. Now Mussina also has 6 wins. The change from last season seems so obvious. I can’t resist concluding that Mussina’s Stanford diploma
