Around SBN: Holy War Week Brings out the Worst in Fans

6/1/09: Zombie Fire Ant DLD


I kid you not: Zombie Fire Ants.

(And my randomness of the day, I recently took a quiz entitled "How long would you survive the Zombie Apocalypse", and apparently I'll be dying on the first day. I'm so not ready for the Zombies....)

Oh, and I've got baseball links too:  Yesterday's A's Rangers game: Awesome. Oh, except that whole blown save thing, and the minor heart attack we all had while watching the game, but besides that, it was awesome. Adam Kennedy has himself a fan club now. I think we need signs.

If you haven't seen this yet, watch it.  I still like the April 30th catch better, but Ian Kinsler must hate Ryan Sweeney now...

For tennis fans, you've probably already heard about Nadal. Don't click the link if you don't want to know what happened in today's action, because the right side of the page will probably reveal what I've already seen linked on a few other websites....people really should put warnings on their pages....

This is one of the funniest music videos I've seen in a while....

A's play today at 5:11 Pacific time. Colon vs. Cahill.

I got nothing else. Dump away folks...

 

 

Poll
If Zombies were to play the A's, what would be the outcome?
A's win, powered by Kennedy and Sweeney
6 votes
It's an extra inning affair, brought to an abrupt end when the Zombies kill the home plate umpire
5 votes
The Zombies would be too stunned by the white shoes and high socks to be able to take the field. A's win.
6 votes
Zombies win by destroying the entire team, one possessed first aid kit at a time
7 votes
The Zombies win by taking out Geren. So really, we all win.

I survive!
Congratulations! You made it! You climbed on top of others at times, helped out the ones you thought you could save, but regardless of your level of altruism, you’ve survived the zombie apocalypse. Your knowledge of weaponry, quick thinking, smart planning, and cold efficiency have saved your life. Go on and boogie—you deserve it.

Thanks for the new DLD

The best thing about the zombie fire ants is that the whole thing is a government program (put on your tinfoil hats).

This, however, fills me with horror.

I'm still not sure how an A330 can just disappear

Aren’t there radars or sonars or scanning machines or something like that that could pick up a giant plane in the water? Because if they can make a machine that will catch a teeny tiny pair of nail scissors in the bottom of my backpack at the airport security checkpoint, you’d think they could make something portable to detect an airplane….last contact was about 17 hours ago, I’m just amazed that there’s been no trace of the plane….maybe zombies got it….

+1

That one can say “giant plane” demonstrates how little we comprehend the true enormousness of the world’s oceans.

Finding nail scissors in your backpack is a poor comparison. More like finding nail scissors in the Coliseum.

What's more

Ligers tend towards gigantism. As in, like, 8 foot shoulder-to-butt Ligers.

And Tigons tend towards dwafism. Get one of our mini sirloin cowboys riding on that!!

You must be a Hussar

“No Hussar worth his salt is alive at thirty…”

from wiki:
European (but not British) hussars traditionally wore long moustaches (but no beards) and long hair, with two plaits hanging in front of the ears as well as a larger queue at the back. They often retained the queue, which used to be common to all soldiers, after other regiments had dispensed with it and adopted short hair.

Hussars had a reputation for being the dashing, if unruly, adventurers of the army. The traditional image of the hussar is of a reckless, hard-drinking, hard-swearing, womanising, moustachioed swashbuckler. Arthur Conan Doyle’s character Brigadier Etienne Gerard of the French Hussards de Conflans has come to epitomise the hussar of popular fiction – brave, conceited, amorous, a skilled horseman and (according to Napoleon) not very intelligent. Brigadier Gerard’s boast that the Hussards de Conflans (an actual regiment) could set a whole population running – the men away from them and the women towards them, may be taken as a fair representation of the espirit de corps of this class of cavalry.

GOG summer break

I already posted this over on GOG #17, but probably more people will see it here:

Unfortunately, I’m going to have to suspend the GOG for the next week approximately. A combination of moving to a new apartment, not having internet hooked up yet, and leaving tomorrow for a short vacation means that I just don’t have the time to put a set of questions together (but I hopefully do have time to go out and see the A’s play tonight!).

I’m going to try to get a GOG posted in time for the series starting next Monday against Minnesota. In the mean time, have a fun week. Go A’s!

in my view

There is nothing routine about hr robbing. I think anyone who has ever played outfield at any level knows that going back on a ball, feeling for the fence (or sensing the fence), and timing a jump is a pretty tough menage a trois.

The fact that he made it look easy is pretty damn impressive. In fact, If Sweeney could ever learn to hit with just a bit of pop I might love him.

Michael Lewis Q&A
Q: We’re six years removed from the publication of "Moneyball." People are still talking about it, and it would appear that just about every team — to some degree — has adopted its principles. How would you assess its impact today?

A: It’s become conventional wisdom. The A’s have no intellectual advantage, as evidenced by their performance. There’s a shadow baseball team that would have been members of the Oakland A’s if "Moneyball" had never happened, but now those guys are more valued.

Q: And I guess, since you point out that "Moneyball" contributed to the A’s losing their competitive advantage, the Rockets should be wary.

A: Right. The only reason the A’s let me in is that they thought people [cared] so little … about what they were doing. They couldn’t imagine anyone would care about what I wrote.

On the other hand, this was leaking out already. The Red Sox were rapidly becoming what they are in terms of following Sabermetrics. On top of all that, enough of all the intellectual property that they seized upon was in the public domain. The Rockets have created a lot more intellectual property than the A’s ever created.
