This interview by Jeff is great. Very funny. You should read it.

However, the gunk was sticking to the tires and spreading onto secondary roads in the region. He added that the grease caused a "really funky" odor.

As the days shorten, and the weather cools, links become scarce...

In lieu of more links, how about a poll?

Great

now I'm going to have the "What Would Brian Boitano Do" song from South Park stuck in my head all day.....but I'm too busy at work to go search youtube for it, so I've just got that one phrase stuck in my head, over and over and over and over and over.....

Best headline I've read today

Growing number of professionals leave the office for cheese-making

"I'm turning 40," Lewis said. "And it's sort of like: Cheesemaking is what I want to do when I grow up."

Here's an article

about Dan Haren being more valuable than Johan Santana (Insider only) in a trade this offseason, by ESPN's Buster Olney. Now, didn't he just do an article like this? It seems like we've heard this from ESPN a few times already this offseason.

Anyway, considering that the Twins are asking for like 3 or 4 great prospects for Santana, and the fact that Haren is, in some ways, more valuable, then I say the A's should make a trade and get a boatload of prospects, if possible.

Also, in the same article, he suggests that the Brewers might be interested in Huston Street (just speculation, not a true rumor). Do the Brewers have any good prospects left in the minors?

by Philip Christy on Nov 27, 2007 11:30 AM PST reply actions

Matt LaPorta

I would love to trade Street for him, though I don't think they can trade LaPorta for a bit anyway since he was drafted last year.

Obv if they want to send Braun and Gallardo our way they can have Haren, but I don't see that happening.

Great moments in world philosophy

I just came back from a trip to downtown San Francisco where I heard a lunchtime talk by the Japanese philosopher Hiroshi Tasaka. He was talking about approaching challenges or problems in life in a positive way, and used as an example.... Ichiro, being asked if he would prefer to avoid going up against the "great Athletics pitcher Hudson" (Tasaka's words) who was the only pitcher in the US to strike him out three times in a game (until Josh Beckett did it this year). Ichiro said no, he would prefer to face a pitcher like Hudson all the time, so that both batter and pitcher would be challenged to their utmost.
One encounters the A's in the most unexpected places.
By the way, RAFs, you may already know this but I think, as much as I'm loyal to Cody's, Staceys Books has the best and largest selection of baseball books I've seen. I limited myself to In The Ballpark: The Working Lives of Baseball People and The Joy Of Keeping Score: How Scoring The Game Has Influenced And Enhanced the History of Baseball but I could have bought much much more.
