127 is a beautiful number. It is the number of hours James Franco was stuck under a boulder. It is the name of an Iranian folk-punk band. According to Wikipedia, it is a Mersenne prime, a double Mersenne prime, a cuban prime, a cousin prime, a Chen prime, a strong prime, a Motzkin prime, a centered hexigonal number, and a Friedman number. It's an Italian automobile, an element that hasn't yet been discovered, and a sonnet. In binary, it's 1111111.
It is also, if divided by 1000, Carl Crawford's batting average as of this morning.
His slash line is .127/.172/.145, which I'm now establishing as a Crawford prime (a prime number batting average whose numerals can be reordered to represent the same batter's on-base percentage). Further, his OPS is .317, which itself is a prime, an Eisenstein prime, and a Chen prime. He has 1 RBI (prime) and 3 runs (prime) and 2 stolen bases (prime). He wears uniform #13 (prime). Today he's batting 7th (prime) in the Boston lineup.
I hesitate to complain too loudly because on the whole my lineup is batting rather well at the moment. But is it completely unreasonable to have just one fantasy year where my first round stud keeper isn't a total wreck for half the season? Fucking hell.
4/18 produces a beautiful recurring decimal that never ends or changes.
