Merry Christmas and a continuing happy holidays to those of you who don't celebrate Christmas.
Link Time:
Apparently Justin Duchscherer has never given a bad gift.
MLB.com: What's the worst present you ever gave?
Duchscherer: I don't really buy stuff people don't like. I don't think I've ever given a gift that someone thought was bad. Or maybe they just hid that they thought it was bad. But I think I do pretty well.
Meanwhile Brad Ziegler's dreams are sky high. An interesting tidbit from that article is this:
He started this season in Triple-A and nearly asked for his release when things weren't going his way.
Good thing I've been advised not to eat foil. I would've never known that on my own. I'll be sure to keep it away from Buddy as well.
And finally, whoever's been saying the Yankees are evil (read: everyone on AN) obviously hasn't read this story yet. God bless those generous Yanks!
Happy Holidays to all, and to all good night!

Happy Decemberween to you, as well.

Mike Singletary
Looks like he’s gonna get the full time gig, which excites me as a Niners fan.

Man I am straight panicking because I know I have NO CHANCE soloing and the party has run off. I'm in my hotel room; it's like 5am, and I am straight hollering, in EQ and in real life.

Sickels updates his Cahill and Anderson grades
“Brett Anderson, LHP, Athletics: Grade B+ changed to Grade A-. Just seems more approrpriate.
Trevor Cahill, RHP, Athletics: Grade B+ changed to Grade A-: Higher ceiling than Anderson, if Anderson goes up so does Cahill.”

I've been watching MythBusters on Discovery for about 12 hours now.
My eyes are crossed, but I love Jamie and Adam.
But he came back. And there was much rejoicing.

Important news for teens and their parents
Studies show: Kids who skip breakfast have a better chance of getting laid.
Further down in the same article:
The survey, intended to study how to reduce unwanted pregnancies, also showed the average age of first-time sex was lower for those who found their mother annoying.

How hard up for A's baseball are you?
Enough to watch a 1989 episode of Reading Rainbow with host LeVar Burton joining the A’s for Spring Training?
He gets tips from Dave Stewart on how to throw different pitches, instruction on how to hit from A’s hitting coach Merv Rettenmund and comically foreshadows Jose Canseco’s “Juiced” when patting him on the shoulder and saying that someday they’ll be telling stories of their exploits.
For air times, check your local PBS station under Reading Rainbow or Dinosaur Bob and His Adventures With the Family Lazardo. In the Bay Area, KQED Kids (Comcast 192) has these showtimes.
