Well, the SB Nation tech wizards are at it again, enabling mobile commenting on all blogs. I don't use a mobile device myself, but I'm guessing you just comment like you would on a "real" computer. I apologize to your bosses in advance for your productivity losses at work. I also now expect lots of commenting from ballparks.
Second, it's really easy to share others' articles via Twitter -- simply click the green Tweet/Retweet button. The number next to it has something to do with TweetMeme, which I'm not familiar with, but I think it has something to do with the total number of people who have tweeted a link to that post.
Mmm, tech upgrades.

Great news!
Stuck at ball parks and unable to make a comment on my iPhone is annoying!

Already spazzed out on Blog Huddle, but I'm still excited for it.
This leads to something I’ve been thinking of doing a FanPost about – how to explain to non-statheads, such as certain followers on Twitter, concepts like WAR, UZR, wOBA, etc.

I have been thinking about a series here aimed towards that. Any ideas on approach? My main thought is to limit the numbers and take baby steps.

Oh, well I was going to say shove a copy of either the most recent Abstract or The Book down their throat...
The best explanation I found for WAR is “one simple stat that combines everything into a single number so that you can judge a player against replacement (5 minute explanation), average (generally understood), and other players.”
UZR is easy to explain once you get them past the name, and the whole Gold-Gloves-mean-horse-poo thing.

Tango had an explanation of Linear Weights that was really nice

It’s a little bit tough to get through, but it is amazingly thorough and uses charts and examples along the way.
Derosa.

That's one of my favorite articles of all time.
Even if you don’t follow all the math, you can still follow the general point.
