If a radio broadcast of a baseball match starts   at 1.05 pm, when can we expect a) the National Anthem and b) 'the seventh-inning stretch' - will they be broadcast on the radio? - the radio in question being Z104, the match being "Washington Nationals vs Florida" and the National Anthem and God Bless America being sung by the General Director of the Washington National Opera

Baseball is a game of averages, probabilities and tendencies. Maestro
Domingo will probably sing at 1:00 pm and it probably will be broadcast. And
he probably will sing during the seventh-inning stretch and it probably will
be broadcast. But knowing with certainty when he will sing and when the game
will actually begin, and when the seventh-inning stretch will occur is
impossible. The average length of a major league nine-inning game is 175.9
minutes. So, 175.9/9 = 19.54 minutes average per inning. However, the
longest nine-inning game took 4 hours and 29 minutes (29.88 minutes per
inning), and the shortest one took 51 minutes (5.66 minutes per inning). So,
from this we can see that the seventh-inning stretch will probably begin
between approximately 1:45 pm and about 5:00 pm, but more likely nearer to
3:25 pm. None of the foregoing takes into account such things as rain
delays, stampedes, earthquakes, fan riots, electric power outages, terrorist
attacks (real or imagined), long-winded speeches by politicians, public
prayers for hurricane victims etc etc etc. Good luck on yer.

Lecherous Little Stinky Bollmann (aka le Fasciste Pedophoole), lusting
after la donna geraldine, and thereby forgetting its (stinky's)
eunuchoid condition, declares, through clenched brown/yellow dintures:

No shytte, Stinkie?

Let's see, now, some analogies 'tween you and baseball:

Your _average_ post is a reflecion of you - in a word - shytte.

It's more than probable, Stinky, that your hubby-to-be, '"the Other
Chuckie", will manage to botch the <ahem!> "rosebud-opening" on your "at
the soonest" wedding night, n'est ce pas, Stink?

And your "tendencies" are waaay too well-known already.

Now, go ahead and give us some more Boll-Fill, as you always do.
