Quick note: Roster move

by passionately objective on May 9, 2008 3:03 PM PDT

I looked but didn't see that anyone made mention that Dallas Braden was sent down to make room for Keith Foulke. Makes you wonder what other moves are coming our way as people stop being injured, if that ever happens.

Also, Buck continues to struggle, he may stay down while our guys continue to roll. If it ain't broke....don't break it so that you can feel better by fixing it? Or something like that.

One more thing

I’m a little green, what’s a DLD?

DLD stands for Daily Link Dump. It is a post that is created daily, or on most days

and we put all links and stories of the day, so instead of maybe 4 links on the A’s number 1 in Power rankings, or roster movements, it is put in once. It is like the daily water cooler.

Also, you should know that as per the Community Guidlines:

Diaries [Fanposts]
The only Community Guidelines for posting a diary are:

A diary must be a minimum of 300 characters or it is considered to be unsubstantial and is deleted as a violation of the Community Guidelines.
A diary must in some way belong on AN—in other words, it must relate to the A’s, or to baseball, or to AN, or to an existing thread or diary, etc.
A user may not post more than 2 diaries in a given day.

That way no one poster can monopolize the fanposts and other diarists are given a fair shake.

Oh snap!

When I joined it just said “Be Nice” as the rules. I didn’t even notice there were other rules. My bad!

Anything you might call a "quick note"

doesn’t warrant a FaNpOsT

except that

half the stuff has nothing to do with the a’s and it gets the most recommendations
