DLD 2/25/09: Just because there's a Game Thread...

does not mean that we don't need a DLD as well. Because we don't like to clutter up the game threads with Ignacio de la Fuente saying I told you so:
"I predicted a long time ago that Fremont wouldn't work out" for the A's, De La Fuente said. "The A's belong in Oakland," he said.
Just call him Nostradanus. However, at least Oakland city officials are now pretending they want the team to stay. In a further quote from that Bay City News Service* story:
*just because NBC11 is comfortable putting unattributed wire copy on their website does not mean I am
Oakland Mayor Ron Dellums' spokesman, Paul Rose, said, "The mayor is willing to do whatever it takes, within reason, to stay in Oakland."
I'm pretty sure that it's the A's rather than Dellums himself who are being referred to here -- because very few people think Dellums wants to stay in Oakland.
Meanwhile, speculation about San Jose
and speculation about San Jose
and speculation about the Coliseum continues to fill papers.
Miggy will not be playing in the WBC, but it's not because of his legal and chemical issues, it's because the Dominican coach wanted him to play first instead of short.
In other news, you know the big new Toyota dealership across the freeway from the Coliseum (and directly across the street from the In'N'Out) which has been under construction for ages (or at least the last seven or eight times I went to In'N'Out)? Closed before it even had its official grand opening. Hmm. It might not seat 30,000 people but it's kind of a nice-looking building.....
Have you any links?

Think maybe they'll hack that Toyota dealership up?

wow and how
4 Five Star Prospects
1 Four Star Prospect
6 Three Star Prospects
And of the Three Star Prospects, I thought they’d for sure have Cunningham as a Four Star, as well as possibly Gio and Mazzaro.

Goldstein released the top 100 a few weeks ago and none of those three were on it
thus foreshadowing their 3-star status.

true, I guess.
Just seems weird, since Cunningham is ranked in the 50-60 area in a lot of lists, and you’d think BP, who are less “Potential” and more “Production” oritented would take Cunningham higher. Then again, they also took Ynoa really high.

Okay....
I can’t be the only one wondering what the movie would be titled. Being that that particular genre has a penchant for playing on other movie titles…..I’m thinking a Bond film would be appropriate. I’m sure you can guess which one.

Yeah
Though in hindsight, most Bond films’ titles could be easily converted to the adult industry.

True story:
They really did make a porn movie title take-off from “Meet the Fockers”. There’s something funny about the utter obviousness of it….

With this economy?
Not that I would touch the video with a 10 ft poll, but she should do it. I mean, its $1 fucking million dollars. For 1 day’s work. For a video that NO ONE will remember in a year.

Here's a better idea.
Jon (from Jon and Kate Plus 8) divorces Kate and marries the octo-mom. Cameras follow their large family of 24, drama and madness ensues.

Alyssa needs to date Ron Dellums, then dump him, so he can then strike a new ballpark deal while under the euphoric influence to the Milano Bounce.

I mentioned here a couple weeks ago
that Bill Brand, who wrote the “What’s On Tap” beer blog on the Bay Area News Group website, was seriously injured when he was hit by a Muni streetcar after leaving 21st Amendment following a brewers’ dinner. Unfortunately, Bill passed away on Friday. Here’s his obituary in the Tribune, which briefly mentions the beer connection but is really kind of a neat story about the sort of old-fashioned newspaper reporter who is just about extinct now.

So, we've heard of This Is Why You're Fat.
This is the only thing that actually looks tasty.
A regular ham and cheese sandwich but topped with 11 sunny-side up egg yolks.
I LOVE eggs. Every time I eat eggs at my mother’s house, mom likes telling the story of the time we used to raise chickens. Well, having “fresh” eggs was always a plus. One morning mom is making eggs when she cracked an egg open and there was a bloody, dead chicken inside. She barfed. Being 5 at the time, I told her it was okay just get another one.

draft nick swisher in all fantasy leagues
The cousin Alex Rodriguez said smuggled drugs into the United States for him, Yuri Sucart, was behind the wheel of the SUV that took him to and from Dunedin Stadium today.
It is unlikely that Sucart will face any federal charges. But MLB could find Rodriguez’s continued association with a drug smuggler somewhat curious. Nick Swisher also was in the vehicle, which was granted permission to pull up next to the Yankees’ clubhouse.
