Keri's

Once we get to the team's ascent, though, Mr. Keri's interests rise slightly above the field, to focus on the front office assembled by owner Stuart Sternberg, who took over the team in 2005 and populated it with young Ivy Leaguers who had backgrounds in sabermetric research and young veterans of Wall Street.

Part of Mr. Keri's problem is that the three seem to have taken a lesson about the value of revealing trade secrets and their own personalities from the success of "Moneyball," which exposed Oakland general manager Billy Beane to considerable ridicule from some old-line baseball men even as it taught other teams his tricks.

My girlfriend knows the Pizza Hut delivery guy, who every Friday takes a large cheese pizza out to poor Keri's lonely house, and the pizza guy says that Keri always answers the door in her wedding dress, which used to be white, but you can tell what the inside of her house must be like from the way the bottom of the dress is all filthy, ringed in black.
