*taps the mic*
Hello? Is this thing working? Ah, yes. Perfect. Ahem. GOOD MORNING, CLEVELAND!
*blank stares*
(Wanna get away?)
As most of us know by now, Brad Ziegler got away to Southern California for a once-in-a-lifetime flight with the Blue Angels. There's a story about it on the A's website along with a photo gallery. I'd drop one of them in here but it's set up as a Flash slideshow and I'm too lazy to do a screenshot.
Sidenote: Brad doesn't look much like an "Amy" to me. Just sayin'.
There's also another local story in today's Daily Review (and Tribune, and I'm sure Tri-Valley Herald, Contra Costa County Times, San Jose Mercury News and now most papers in the country since they're all owned by one place these days, but I digress) that was on the front page of the sports section and they have a nice big shot of Ziggy giving the thumbs-up.
So, on top of all the other things he's dealt with, our sidearmer goes from nearly asking for his release according to some reports before getting The Call at the end of May to destroying a century-old record and taking to the skies with the Blue Angels. Not bad for the past 7+ months.
What will Brad Ziegler do for an encore?

That is awesome. I hope the A’s get on the front page more often next year.

Ritalin is the new PED of choice
“This is incredible. This is quite spectacular. There seems to be an epidemic of ADD in major league baseball,” said Dr. Gary Wadler, chairman of the committee that determines the banned-substances list for the World Anti-Doping Agency.
…
“I’ve been in private practice for a lot of years. I can count on one hand the number of individuals that have ADD,” he said. “To say that (7.86 percent) of major league baseball players have attention deficit disorder is crying out of an explanation. It is to me as an internist so off the map of my own experience.”
The cheaters will always find a way.

I think the arguement wouldn't be he likes the A's better.
Rather that the A’s were one of the few (only?) teams that would have seen that with a “six-million dollar man” rebuild of his pitching motion, Ziggy could turn from fringe prospect into middle relief domination. It wasn’t that the G man wanted the A’s to win, but rather it was a place that BZ could succeed.

hunh?
To be honest, I’m almost all the way over to the PaulThomas side of the ledger when it comes to such things, but this sentiment from Ziggy sounds entirely anodyne to me — even open-minded/open-hearted, humble, and equanimous. Where is the statement about G-d favoring the A’s — or even about Her favoring Ziggy? Heck, in accepting the mystery of his tortuous path (which only incidentally and currently has led him to Earthly "success"), Z sounds almost Gnostic.

Thanks for noting this
Though I’m a christian, I’ll be the first to agree with those who say that christian athletes too often make it look like they think God’s on their side. I’m glad you see that Ziggy was most definitely NOT doing that.
Ziggy’s gratitude could be jewish, muslim, christian, gnostic, etc. (even agnostic if he said “to whom it may or may not concern”). Wherever it comes from, gratitude beats the alternatives.
Christian athletes should not get overly invested in the laundry or even in victory per se. But if you’ve ever seen Chariots of Fire, you understand the idea of doing whatever you do for the glory of God, and of giving thanks to God and not to your own abilities or efforts when you succeed. In fact, if you studied Luther or Calvin, you’d get the same, since it’s one of the foundational ideas of the Protestant Reformation.

This question is mostly in regards to being hit in the head by a 150 mph baseball
I don’t think it’s creepy for him to thank God that he is still alive. Hasn’t he been hit twice? I’d say someone is looking out for him a little.
I don’t think God helps one team win over another but I have no problem with players trusting God to direct their lives.

The two reactions in question seem to be opposite ends of a spectrum.
Your idea that it’s just as appropriate to blame God for misfortune is perfectly valid from a non-Christian/non-religious standpoint—which Ziggy doesn’t seem to share.

some would blame the devil for hitting him
and that God allowed it to happen but protected him from death, just like the story of Job. Although is does seem silly to think of God and the devil fighting over a minor league pitcher.
Others would say that God did cause it to happen to prove that we (people in general) need God to help us. If nothing bad ever happened why would we need Him?
It’s all pure speculation depending on your beliefs really IMO.

MLB Network
I guess when baseball is on 24/7 it’s easy to talk about all 30 teams but I surprised with how many A’s related talks they have. i don’t get the channel but i saw a Giambi video on the A’s website and it had a few other A’s clips (mostly about G but still).
One thing that stuck out was @ 2:49 mark in the “How Giambi’s signing impacts the A’s” video. Giambi was 5th in most pitches per plate appearances in 2008 (4th since 2001). Guess who was 1st? Nick Swisher! weird, he had a crappy year at the plate. Maybe taking pitches isn’t always the best thing. Jack Cust was 3rd. If anything hopefully Cust and Giambi will help wear out pitchers by making them throw a lot. Thereby helping the rest of the lineup face a tired pitcher.

Even creepier!
Someone emailed me asking to use my photo of Barry in her article that reported he and Paris Hilton were spotted getting cozy with each other at some nightclub. Barry Zito and Paris Hilton? REALLY?!?!

Feces-throwing monkey on the loose in Tampa Bay
CLEARWATER, Fla. (AP) — Wildlife officials said a rhesus monkey known to throw feces when mad is on the loose in Tampa Bay. Authorities have been trying to capture the primate since Tuesday afternoon, but it managed to evade a bucket truck and tranquilizer dart.
Gary Morse with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission says the adult male is thought to have escaped from an unlicensed source. It was last seen in Clearwater.
The monkey is not considered dangerous.

I laughed
inside, outside, out loud, shirtless, and on top of my desk.
I'm here to talk about the past.
