DLD 2-20-09: keeping things light

PrintAfter playing hooky from front-page duties- hey, I got a doctor's note- I have reemerged for a little public service.
I mean, is it me, or has AN put the "an" in cranky lately? This is supposed to be fun, people. Baseball is fun.
Come on, Nation...why so serious?
Hmm, smells like a segue.
Ah yes, Hollywood's finest will gather Sunday night, and, what, no Pineapple Express? Boo, I say.
Heath Ledger is, of course, the overwhelming sentimental pick for Actor in a Supporting Role, and should the late Australian actor win, where the statue ends up has created quite the conundrum.
"It's complicated, because there are two different questions that have to be answered," said Bruce Davis, the executive director of the academy. "First, we have to decide who gets the job of accepting the award onstage on the night of the ceremony. And then there's the question of the eventual disposition of the posthumous statuette.
"From our point of view, somebody has to sign the winner's agreement, and a three-year-old can't do that," he said. "Nor can a parent sign any kind of legal document that obligates a child to do something once they turn 18. I didn't know that before we looked into it, but it's a good law."
I will also be pulling for Penelope Cruz (Actress in a Supporting Role) because, well, why the hell not?
Hang in there, Jack. And thanks for your Two-Free-Taco offer next Tuesday.
Some history to go with your oatmeal this morning: on this day in Nineteen-Hundred-Thirty-One, Congress approved the construction of some bridge.
A soldier returns to the Bay Area this Sunday, one week ahead of schedule. First round's on me.
And a Happy Birthday to Ryan Sweeney, who turns a young and supple twenty-four years of age. Just knowing that I have a nephew older than RyRy makes me want to bend him over my knee and spank him.
Yeah, as if I need an excuse for that.
The first game thread of '09 is less than a week away! Can I get a "woot"?
Dump ye merry gentlemen. Ladies, too. And Leopold.

why so glum?
Have you looked at your 401(k) statement since the beginning of the year? Have you looked at your future tax bill… car registration bill?
I’m so happy things are being stimulated. I’ll be able to afford so many more baseball tickets this year.

Dun dun dun!!!
Could it be that another SS will spurn the A’s in favor of the Dodgers?
Crosby’s job is becoming more secure by the day.
P.S. Having class on Fridays should be against the law
"Their batters are patient to the point that it's annoying." -Ryan Franklin
Oh God Please let him spurn the A's for the Dodgers
After being on the fence for a while, I am really certain I don’t want Cabrera.
Doesn't bother me at this point
While I still think Cabrera is more likely to be a better shortstop than Crosby this season, I just don’t think he will be so much better as to be a significant improvement for the team. At this point I’m content to let the “fan” side of my brain takeover because I’m just not that big a fan of Cabrera.
Well they will likely pay more, so I'd say unless they sign Hudson we will be spurned.

Hudson to the Dodgers
Means the market for O-Cab is now virtually non existent. He may be a marginal upgrade, but it’s an upgrade that may very well match that of the Angels’ Abreu signing.

Oh you said “uncomfortable” too. Shoot.
I'm here to talk about the past.
I like that methodology
I’d love to see the sample expanded beyond last year’s qualified pitchers. K and BB as a percentage of TBF is superior to K/9 and BB/9, and GB rates are superior to HR; that is, unless the HR figure is adjusted for HR/FB and PF, but simply using GB% seems to be a shortcut around all of that.

Seattle isn’t that far from California. In most things, they’re culturally similar, and it’s not like we’re out in the sticks or anything. But I can’t find a decent burrito here.
I don’t even want anything fancy or authentic, just your basic run-of-the-mill generic restaurant burrito like High-Tech, Azteca, Cactus, Roadrunner, whatever. In the Bay Area, burritos are everywhere. Up here they got nothing. (Well, there’s Taco del Mar, but it’s not so great.)
"Dispatch knuckleheadedness with Bond-like aplomb." –74mk
You know, as far as cheap
Mexican food goes, you can’t beat JimBoy’s in Reno. But the taqueria in downtown Walnut Creek apparently makes their burritos with crack cocaine as a base. I salivate over those almost as much as the Saag’s Hotlinks with the onions and the peppers.

Dude-be honest
Ain’t no burrito like a taco truck one.
Although you are 12 hours to early (or I guess maybe 12 late). Taco truck food is always best after midnight. I thinkit is that the bacteria tastes better in the evening.

More Giambi
He impresses in first workout.
The first pitcher he stepped in against was lefty Dallas Braden, and when Braden finished his work, Giambi spent a few minutes providing feedback on what he’d seen.
“To have a sounding board like him, someone of that caliber, it’s incredible,” Braden said. "He complimented my changeup, which is nice, but he also told me about the little things that he saw, mechanical things, things that can help me get better. His attention to detail is so impressive. You’re not going to hear the kinds of things he has to say anywhere else.
“The information is invaluable.”
I'm here to talk about the past.
I didn't know Giambi was a pitcher.
Also, am I the only one who thinks he looks really, REALLY friggin old?

With stout hearts, and with enthusiasm for the contest, let us go forward to victory. ----Hero Defector Montgomery
If this DLD is any indication,
I think we’re ready for game threads. This is like AN’s spring training.

It's best not to smack them together like that.
That’s not what you were talking about?
Oh. Never mind.

But are we ready to survive a month or so of Buancasting

I think we NEED Buancasts. It's like the basic training part of AN.
If you can make it through those, you can make it through 162 games.

67M thinks
His game threads might have to come with a warning label.

LB thinks
talking like Rickey is fun.

What are they doing to Travis?
I figured it was a good sign that none of the texts or massages were from the A’s
I thought it was only Barton who was giving surprise massages to A’s outfielders.
Instead of a "bag of baseballs" the new trade-for-nothing-in-return cliche needs to be "for a massage."
by thejd44 on Feb 20, 2009 4:12 PM PST up reply actions
I'd trade massages with him.
I’m not gay though.

Ok, Larry Craig.

"Hold on Mark, Chavvy...
…you mean I’m supposed to hit the ball with this thing?!"
"And Julio Franco is batting right-handed!" -- Wayne Hagin, A's radio play-by-play, mid-80s
That's lovely!
And, um, it kinda looks like they might be comparing something. The look on Chavvy’s face, hilar!

Okay, morality check
1. Is it wrong to peruse pornography?
2. If not, is it wrong to peruse it at work?
3. If not, is it wrong to masturbate at work?
4. If not, is it wrong to bill your customers for the time so spent?
5. If not, how do you write it up?

#3 , definitely not wrong.
Getting PAID to do that? Openly, in front of all coworkers. Be loud, too. And boom goes the dynamite!

Before you start, though,
You have to exclaim, “Awww yeah, it’s about to get awesome up in here!”

And I think about books a lot.
But my brother failed to buy either a college or a bookstore. So it’s signs.
"Hot Goat Kraut Pants Day"--Monkeyball
I have a book you can read.
In fact I have about 700 books you can read. Unfortunately, it’s all the same book.
And it’s lacking in pornographic material. Unless you count the time I nearly “spilled my beer” after Scutaro’ double in the ’06 playoffs.
Sigh. Signs.
I'm here to talk about the past.
Yes, sighs and signs.
Oh my…someone definitely needs to be drafted and relocated.
"You have to score to win"~Rickey Henderson
Are we talking about
“spilled beer”?
Well, you said, “drafted” so I wasn’t sure.
I'm here to talk about the past.
I've actually been meaning to buy one of those.
Even though I have no personal recollections of any of the A’s things you write about, I like the way you write. And I can learn something. And I envy your connection to your extended family.
...then Pennington takes over.
Very sweet of you, thank you
I can deliver in person at ball games, too.
I'm here to talk about the past.
Wow, four straight days of 100+ comment DLDs...
And this one is nearing 300.
I think we need baseball, and quick!!
There's no crying in baseball!
Either that or #3
Sorry. I think I’m very clever after a bunch of little green bottles.
