5/4/09: I want a new DLD...

This just played on my pandora shuffle here at work....
I'm pretty sure when I was driving along I-80 last night I saw a stegosaurus going the other direction. That might be a sign of lack of sleep, or too much stress from watching yesterday's game, or something else entirely, but it was weird. I would've gotten a picture, except a) I was going the other direction, b) I didn't have a camera readily available, and c) dude, there was a frickin' dinosaur going the other direction. When you see something like that, your instinct is to go straight home and either sleep off whatever you've been doing, or wait for the world to explode.
I can't believe I missed this over the weekend....even more though, the headline here is awesome. I instantly thought it was about something else...
I really don't know what to say about this. I don't remember who my speaker was when I was an undergraduate, but I didn't go because it wasn't anyone worth listening to....
There are a bunch of games today. Here's hoping we don't go into extras, because I'm not sure I can handle another 13th inning like yesterday's....
I'm done dumping, add your own here...

I had to pick stegosaurus over you. It was close though!

I think I have to agree.
If only because, for the first time ever, I was working on a DLD of my own…

Oh, and the "evil empire" stuff worked for the Sawx
when they hadn’t won in 90 years, give or take. Now that they’re spending as much as the Yankees and have become assimilated (mixing geeky metaphors, I know), I think the new rebellion may have just spanked them down here, south of the border, no?

happy thoughts... only happy thoughts...
So. I get these Writer’s Almanac emails every day, with a poem and birthdays of famous people and stuff like that. This was the poem from May 2nd’s Writer’s Almanac. And I liked it and now I’m posting it here. Yep.
Little League
by Paul Hostovsky
When the ump produces
his little hand broom
and stops all play to stoop
and dust off home plate,
my daughter sitting beside me
looks up and gives me a smile that says
this is by far her favorite part of baseball.
And then when he skillfully
spits without getting any
on the catcher or the batter or himself,
she looks up again and smiles
even bigger.
But when someone hits a long foul ball
and everyone’s eyes are on it
as it sails out of play …
the ump has dipped his hand
into his bottomless black pocket
and conjured up a shiny new white one
like a brand new coin
from behind the catcher’s ear,
which he then gives to the catcher
who seems to contain his surprise
though behind his mask his eyes are surely
as wide with wonder as hers.

The opposite is true for Game Threads. I don’t like having multiple windows open as its hard enough to refreash with so many comments. Plus, once we’ve moved on to a new thread, there’s no need for me to go back to the old thread.

This is a DLD, and I'm gonna link, damnit:
More ballpark fluff (via M&R):
In the ballgame: Oakland officials looking to keep the A’s in town will soon present a Major League Baseball committee with a list of three potential sites for a new ballpark – one in the parking lot of their current home at the Oakland Coliseum and two along the city’s waterfront.
A City Hall source identified one of the waterfront sites as the Howard Terminal near Jack London Square and the other as a strip known as “Oak to Ninth” – part of a 65-acre site slated for development next to the Oakland Estuary.
All three are in areas designated for redevelopment, all three have been reviewed in previous ballpark studies conducted by the city – and all three have been previously rejected by team owner Lew Wolff.

That, and I was drinking during mine too.
What a fun day.
Nico: Okay. We have twelve hours to make a really big pickle.

Did someone already link to the awesome NYTimes piece on Oakland?
Art Deco architecture, stunning views and a beautiful mix of cultures. There’s a lot going on in Oakland; the only reason you may not be hearing about it is that Oaklanders tend to keep a low profile.
Looking forward to next week’s feature, “36 Minutes in Anaheim”.

I stumped myself at first
because I couldn’t remember what I was referring to with the rats comment
I mean, I was referring to Anaheim with the rats, but also to this. Woo! Cosmology jokes!

Which is crazy, since I swore off baseball less than 24 hours ago.

That's not fun
Although we DO need a rainout to rest our pitchers, don’t we? ;-)

Suzuki leading off tonight in Oakland
here’s tonight’s starting lineup, according to Slusser:
Suzuki C, Orlando Cabrera SS, Jason Giambi 1B, Mattt Holliday LF, Jack Cust DH, Bobby Crosby 3B, Travis Buck RF, Gregorio Petit 2B, Davis CF.
Sweeney has tired legs and is getting the night off.

Wow, bottom of the lineup looks like crap.
Suzuki, Crap, Giambi, Holliday, Cust, Crap, Buck, Meh, Crap.

Cabrera's at least crap-plus

Leadoff catcher is rather rare
Since 1954, a catcher has batted in the 1 hole in only 747 games. Kendall did it 447 of those times.

May be posting this too late for anyone to see it...
… but I’ll bite Neyer’s style and link to the Top 25 Rickey Henderson Stories.
I just remembered I love Eric Chavez.

Saw it!
Many smiles on that page. My favorite:
The morning after the Sox finished off their 2004 World Series sweep against St. Louis, Henderson called someone in the organization looking for tickets to Game 6 at Fenway Park.

The A's may suck but I'm still reveling in Pacquiao destroying Hatton!
TKO in two rounds, baby!
