DLD 3/6/09: it's cold fission

 

i don't have a whole lot to say about this guy...  it's pretty self-explanatory.  had to get it out there and spread the word...

 

both videos have NSFW sound, so use headphones

Dan Quinn

Stevia

______

 

maybe Carney Lansford should reconsider that cap he wears to work

 

140 years ago today, chemistry got a bit of a boost

 

does anybody need some light house cleaning done?

 

100-year FAIL

 

less than 31 days and 10 hours until the real fun begins...

that's all for me.  happy friday!

Team without a home?

Funny, last time I checked they were still playing in the Oakland coliseum. Say what you will about it, but they are hardly homeless.

by OaklandSi on Mar 6, 2009 7:55 AM PST up reply actions  

Agreed.

In retrospect, I intended to be more critical of that statement, but stopped typing kind of abruptly. Seriously, it’s not like they’re playing in some abandoned lot with gopher holes and broken glass everywhere.

At least not 'til NFL exhibition season.

Besides aren’t those fields the exclusive province of Classic Baseball?

"Permanent"

Chip’s assessment is dead on as far as perception goes (and most likely reality). The Coliseum, as it is, is not viewed as a long term option.

I was leading a weekly conference call yesterday

and ended it by telling everyone to have a great week and to stay classy. A teammate had bet me that I couldnt do it without cracking up. Little do they know that I spent a year running these calls and dropping obscure quotes and jokes into them just to bust up the 4 or 5 people who are in the know…

but sometime soon. the book was awesome, so i fear that i’ll be disappointed by the movie. especially with Zack Snyder’s " “visionary” " obsession with slo-mo action scenes.

a friend of mine has what i think is a good strategy. he hasn’t read the book yet, so he wants to see the movie first and then read the book. he figures that way he’ll enjoy the movie and the book will be even better, rather than the movie being a disappointment after reading an awesome book.

“They showed Ryan throw his hands up and go in and tackle Brad Lidge,” Ziegler said. “It brought tears to my eyes.”

Off topic--advice needed

Can anyone recommend a free (or very low cost) software to build a website? My friend and I want to create a website for the local chapter of a non-profit that I volunteer for. My friend is very computer savvy, but I’m looking for a software template that would make it pretty easy for us. The more WYSIWYG the better-she knows some HTML, but we don’t really want to turn this into a time-consuming night job for us. It needs to be PC/Vista compatible. We need to create minimal pages, and don’t really need whistles and bells.

Wimberly media blitz

Here’s a followup on the wimberly thread that broke out during today’s game. The picture is from a nice report on Uni Watch.

Before the wimberly nickname speculation gets too far along, let’s add to the mix the great dan jenkins character name Bad-Hair Wimberly. Link is to the made for tv movie, but my real recommendation is for the book – a must read if you enjoy the jenkins oeuvre.

Guerrero’s admission – initially unintentional – came in response to a question about his off-season knee surgery. Manager Mike Scioscia had said the surgery could have the effect of "maybe turning back the clock a couple years" for Guerrero.

Relayed that quote, the affable Guerrero smiled and responded through a translator, "I feel good. I can’t say [like] 25, because, you know, I’m 34. But I feel a lot better. That’s where I’m at right now."

The Angels’ media guide, among other baseball references, list Guerrero’s birth date as Feb. 9, 1976, which would make him 33.
