DLD 10/20/09: This Post Is Just Filler

Good morning worker bees, drones, and queens. It's time to relieve the AN constipation by taking a massive link dump.
Mychael Urban's most recent post on MLB.com is good filler, and hints that King Richard Harden and the A's medical staff didn't exactly see eye-to-eye during his time with the club.
People who spend too much time with slow motion on their DVR's seem to think that Mariano Rivera was spitting on the ball yesterday afternoon.
Gratuitous Link #1- My favorite episode of one of my favorite shows. It's damn near unwatchable, and NSFW, but it's so brilliant that it makes my head explode.
Somebody reminded me that there are other sports than baseball going on this time of year. He also reminded me that there are a lot of young people out there who have never heard of my favorite football player of all time, Earl Campbell. He ran like Barry Sanders and hit like a Mack truck.
Gratuitous Link #2- My favorite sketch from my favorite sketch comedy show of all time. (also NSFW) BTW, the guy at the far left of the table is the voice of SpongeBob!
CC Sabathia is going to pitch on three days' rest today. While, occasionally, this tactic works, it often fails. My prediction is that he'll pitch five innings and give up four runs, three earned, and the Angels will win. Congratulations and/or condolences, depending on which team you consider the lesser of two evils.
Gratuitous (Abstract) Link Dump- White rapper, exploding crapper, I heart Wire, blimps on fire, Royals Review, flaming poo, more Mr. Show (NSFW), Pooh Suits on the go (NSFW), Digable Planets, Dammit Janet.
Finally, if you're not voting for Wally Cornelius in the Community Prospect Poll, you need to Check the log, check the record, check the guy's track record.
This post was just filler. If it were an actual post, it would be full of hyperbole, straw man arguments, imprecise statistics, and spelling errors.

More Rev Halofan FAIL
As soon as I saw the headline “Paranoid Angels Fans …” I knew it had to involve the Rev and his minions of Halos Hell.
Playing the role of Jim Garrison here is someone at Halos Heaven calling himself “Quinlan’s Goofy Swing.” Quinlan’s Goofy Swing has posted frame-by-frame evidence that Rivera spat on his ball …
Elsewhere, someone with the handle “Rev Halofan” seems to think Rivera’s peculiar success as a one-pitch pitcher has at last been explained.
Here’s hoping for more slegnA fail this post-season, for the entertainment value if no other reason.

The first time I saw it, it looked a TON like cheating
But thinking about it, Mo would have to do that practically every pitch to get much of an advantage. The baseball gets switched so much in today’s game, somebody would notice if Mo spat on every ball he got.
Perhaps Mo only does it when he really needs to? Eh, I’ll go with innocent until proven guilty.

They really need to work out a deal-- the A's need him next season
It should be possible to create one with a low base salary but steeply rising incentives (a la Orlando Hudson’s deal this season) that basically guarantees Duke getting paid what he’s worth if he’s on the field.
Speaking generally for a second, I wish there was more creativity in drafting of MLB contracts. You’d think that in one-off deals of such importance, people would be a little more innovative.

That could very well be a good idea.
I wish the Duke the best. If he’s ready to play next year and can be signed to a contract with bonuses based on days on the roster or innings pitched (is this still legal?), and a base somewhere between 1-3 million, then cool beans.

Agree totally
I know it works against the CBA to a degree, but I’d love to see more front loaded contracts in baseball. Not in Duke’s case, of course, but if you consider the huge pile of money the A’s have available this offseason, they could go after a significant free agent, sign him to say, a three or four year deal, and pay him a big chunk of money in the first year. In that way, they would still have flexibility down the road when some of the youngsters reach their arbitration years.

Well, keep in mind
Front-loading a contract is always worse than back-loading it for the team because you can take the money and invest it for a rate of return (skimming off the interest) until it comes due.
Arguably that’s what the A’s franchise should be doing right now— banking money in preparation for a splurge on elite FA talent a year or two from now.

Manny Ramirez
Manny Ramirez was in the shower when the Phillies came back to win.
“When I came out, they were turning the TVs off and everybody was coming in,” Ramirez said.
Los Angeles manager Joe Torre wasn’t surprised or upset that his star player didn’t watch the conclusion of Monday’s game.
“Manny has so much confidence,” Torre said. “When we get a lead late in the game, and I’ve taken him out, whether it be for defense or we have a big lead, when we go up to shake hands after the game, he’s in his street clothes.”

Scott Boras
Scott Boras has compared clients Matt Holliday and Mark Teixeira to one another.
“These guys are blue-collar superstars,” Boras said. “They don’t hit 50 home runs, but they’re complete players. They can give you something without swinging a bat.”
Teixeira signed with the Yankees for $180 million last winter and Boras was obviously trying to put Holliday in the same price category.

Non Baseball related or DLD related Question for AN
Does anyone know of a program that you can make a mirror image of a picture? Like if you were drawing a floorplan or diagram of an apartment and you wanted to make a mirror image because everything is backwards?
The only thing I can think of is printing the image, flipping the page over and tracing it on to another page. I would have to write in new text since that obviously won’t be readable as a mirror image. But that would look unprofessional and possibly lame.
