DLD 6/7/07: Havin' a WHALE of a time in Oakland!

by secret ASian man on Jun 7, 2007 12:41 AM PDT Comment 98 comments

In the interest of not jinxing a certain sporting event in which a team from Oakland will compete with another team from Boston I'm going to start this DLD a little bit off topic.

I sure hope you are having a whale of a time so far in this beautiful (but windy) month of June.

Do you remember that dead whale that washed ashore on a private beach at Point Richmond? Well, it looks like they're finally going to do something about it. (SF Chronicle)

Be sure to read all the way to the end. Thankfully the authorities have chosen a sane approach to deal with this situation.

In previous cases of stranded dead whales, officials have tried burying them, but animals or the weather can uncover the animals. In one notorious case that was captured on video, officials detonated one whale on-site. But pieces of the whale rained down on onlookers and cars, turning one big mess into many small ones.

Captured on video? Perhaps this one?

Check out money quote #1

FEMALE BYSTANDER: Here comes pieces of... my God!

No lady, it's not manna from heaven, it's particles of blown up dead whale.

Here's money quote # 2

ANCHOR: The humor of the entire situation suddenly gave way to a run for survival as huge chunks of whale blubber fell everywhere.

It's not really that funny, but his deadpan delivery, was a sign of a different era.

Now back to baseball:

Has Danny Haren finally arrived? (ESPN.com)

Jason Giambi; from sellout to snitch? (ESPN.com)

Personally, I would commend somebody to come forward and shed some light on this episode of baseball. I would especially commend somebody who is doing it not for financial gain, unlike Jose Canseco. But, alas, things are never so simple and black and white. This thing might end up as another political conflict between the MLBPA and the owners, as things usually are.

Sigh.

No, but

The "Dan Haren has been lucky" crowd

Dan Haren's Cy Young Start

Plugging in the luck-adjusted numbers into Component ERA, I get a 3.39 ERA and 1.12 WHIP for Haren's work season-to-date.

Here are our pitchers 2007 BABIP vs. Career BABIP (notice a theme?):

Starters

DiNardo .225 vs. .326 (-.101)
Haren .202 vs. .282 (-.080)
Kennedy .265 vs. .303 (-.038)
Blanton .270 vs. .290 (-.020)
Gaudin .284 vs. .303 (-.019)

Veteran Bullpen

Calero .324 vs. .278 (+.046)
Embree .326 vs. .297 (+.029)
Duchscherer .300 vs. .283 (+.017)
Street .195 vs. .267 (-.072)

I'm not saying that we have some amazing defense (how could you with 3 DH's in the outfield most of May?), but it struck me as odd that all our starters are below their career marks. However, all but Haren either lack innings (DiNardo) or are within the realm of noise (Kennedy, Blanton, and Gaudin). That leaves only Haren as the really lucky one.

I'd rather be lucky than good on any day.

Signatures? We don't need no stinking signatures.

More Anaheim haterism

I'm a little bit disappointed at the Stanley Cup finals. I was really hoping that the Sharks would have been the ones to be the first to bring the Cup to California.

And for the record, the following passage from the SF Chronicle is just not true.

Two years after losing its Mickey ears and a goofy purple-and-jade color scheme with Disney's sale of the franchise to Henry and Susan Samueli in June 2005, the Ducks are the first team in the Pacific Time Zone to rule supreme, thanks to a 6-2 victory in Wednesday's Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals over the Ottawa Senators, a third straight Canadian team to finish runner-up.

Wrong, the Ducks aren't the first team on the West Coast to win the Stanley Cup. They're the first team from California and the first team from the modern era where the NHL champion is also the Cup winner. Three times before WWII a west coast team has won the cup.

1914 Vancouver Millionaires
1916 Seattle Metropolitans
1924 Victoria Cougars (Victoria as in Rich Harden's hometown)

So shut up Anaheim, you're not that special.

winning the Cup post-Disney

I think it was Anaheim's first season when the TV crew would show shots of the crowd instead of on ice action when a fight would break out. I can't imagine the old ownership would have appoved of Chris Pronger's conduct throughout the playoffs. I'm sure people will say that he's just a gritty hard nosed old school hockey player, but he looks a lot more like a headhunting goon that will get targeted next season.

AP wrap up:

Boston, which still has the best record in the majors at 37-21, is now on its longest skid since dropping six straight last August, the final three in Oakland.
The losing streak started with a home loss to the New York Yankees on Sunday night, followed by a cross-country flight that didn't get the Red Sox into their Bay Area hotel until 5:30 a.m. Monday. David Ortiz said the travel has sapped some of Boston's intensity.

A question of etiquette

Given the circumstances I'm thinking of taking my almost-2 year old Lily to today's game.

Lily happens to be very attached to a toy broom, so she'll probably insist on bringing it with us. And when we go to games she likes to walk around a lot.

So what is the etiquette for her taking a stroll with her toy ? Is it OK before the game starts ? Is it always woofing until the game is over ? Is it jinxing even to talk about it ?

Have you tried Uno attack/ drinking version?!

It includes 112 cards as well as an electronic card shooter. The main difference between UNO Attack and the original UNO is that instead of drawing cards, players press a button on the card shooter, which shoots out a random amount of cards.

and then of course you assign rules to specific cards so that once those are played..people(person) drinks....you get drunk quick!

Angel Berroa D'dFA

Four years after winning the AL Rookie of the Year Award, infielder Angel Berroa was designated for assignment by the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday.
The Royals recalled outfielder Joey Gathright from Triple-A Omaha to take the roster spot of Berroa, who hit only .091 (1-for-11) with one RBI in nine games after being called up May 14.
"We need to give our offense a little boost," Royals manager Buddy Bell said. "Joey can't do it by himself, but we think he can help.

My internet at work is being totally lame and I can't get into the A's website! (Seriously, I feel like an arm is missing!!) Anyway, so I am trying to come up with an alternative to listening through the MLB feed.

My question is; Will the live feed on KFRC's website feed the game, or will they continue to feed music? It says listen LIVE, but does that mean it is the same as what is going across the radio? I really don't know what I will do if I can't listen to the game! I can't get into Yahoo or ESPN to even watch the god aweful Game Days! Someone, please, HELP!!

And you don't know what it is
Do you, Mr. Lee?
