for letting Nate n Al (or whatever their names were) exploit their fine vehicle by ghostriding it to keep the A's in Oaktown.

"Crosby said he felt like he had a month's worth of action in his 10 at-bats against minor-leaguer Jeff Gray: He was hit in the back with a curveball; he had to dive out of the way of another pitch; he fouled a ball off his foot; and he hit the bill of Gray's cap on one of his hits."

There's just no way he plays 120+ games.  He's got the VOODOO.

All the Warcraft kids we're skipping class.

If not for YouTube, Stephen Colbert wouldn't be nearly as huge as he is at the moment.

In fact, when Viacom demanded YouTube take down all Comedy Central programming, CC went ahead and made it available for free on their own site, because they 'get it' that free samples of a great product are great publicity.

Google should just buy Viacom and be done with it.

Baseball on TV tonight!! AH!! And I didn't set the TiVo! GAH!

Live baseball, on TV!! I think I may cry!

The Giants Website says the game will be on FSN! Woo!!

I said it in the game thread yesterday as well, but it's far too early to send him down, with how poorly Kennedy is pitching.  Komine, Windsor, and Halsey should still all be in consideration for that spot, even if Kennedy remains the de facto leader.

that this game will be on a station I can find all the way in Colorado? I would go crazy with joy.

Question: Why in the world do Danny and Noah ALWAYS pitch against each other? Is it destiny or something?

Another question: I saw Nebraska's diary, but does anyone else have pics from the video game challenge?

Ok, my professor just asked an 80-person class how many people have played Warcraft, and no one raised their hand. Liars.

I'd say that the reason no one raised their hands was because they wern't paying attention... because they were playing WoW in class...

Health of Harden, Crosby critical to A's success. Gee, no shit.

A's Spring Training stats! Finally, it's somewhere.

ESPN.com = Men cops.

Neyer AL West interview. He picks Texas, LAAA, Oak, Sea, which is reasonable enough. Texas is not "booked" yet though.

Reaction:
HH. Diarist/notable pundit Matt Welch is a smart guy. Not sure why he posts over there...

LL. Neyer's assertion that Michael Young is the best player in the division is pretty silly, but Jeff's list of players who are better (including Crosby, Jose Lopez, Maicer Izturis, and "possibly" Kotsay) is sillier yet.

The Warriors end the Mavericks' 17-game win streak. Really? The Golden State Warriors? That's just wonderful.

By asking who had played "Warcraft" they probably thought he meant the original RTS Warcraft and not the now everywhere World of Warcraft game.

Perhaps part of Goleski's struggles is that his wrist is still bothering him? If that is the case, the A's have an excuse to keep him and put him on the DL to start the season. Since he has a bad chance of making the team anyways, its worth a shot right?

Call it the metaphysician's take on MoneyBall. Both astrology and baseball are statistical and mathematical disciplines. But no one has ever before applied the power of astrological analysis to baseball statistics in an effort to gain that added analytical edge.

When picking players for Fantasy drafts, every statistic for each player is analyzed by every fan website with the exception of one: The players zodiac chart. Simply using a player's birthdate, Reverend Halofan can make eerily accurate predictions on how a player will perform in the upcoming season, as well as the likelihood of injuries and slumps.

Emphasis mine.
