DLD 6/10/09: New winning streak mojo thread

PrintOkay, it's almost 1pm, and there's no new DLD??? I mean, I understand there is a draft going on, but still, we need a DLD! Just because our boys lost last night for the first time in a week doesn't mean we can neglect our AN duties. Come on!!
So, because there are numerous draft threads, including at least one thread just for draft links, I'm not posting any draft stuff here. Just other stuff.
So, I do a fairly good job of keeping AN and my work life totally separate. There are people at work that know about my "internet friends", and there are ANers who know what I do for work, but they don't cross over much. So imagine my complete surprise today when a coworker came in with this on their Kindle. You mean people outside of AN are interested in this as well????
Speaking of books, why on earth is this one of the lead stories on sports.yahoo.com/mlb? What, with 30 teams playing, and the entire first day of the draft, you didn't have enough news to highlight?? Ugh...
The clocktower just chimed 1:00, so it's back to work for me. You all will have to add something to the dumping now. So go, Dump!

I was looking up some stuff on Bert “Campy” Campaneris for a possible retro piece, and came across this:
In a recent game between the Kansas City Royals and the Oakland Athletics, Cookie Rojas tagged Bert Campaneris of the A’s, then dropped the ball. Umpire Armando Rodriguez called Campaneris safe. Rojas claimed he held the ball long enough for Campaneris to be called out. Jack McKeon, Kansas City manager, joined the argument. After the game he was asked what happened. “How would I know,” he said. “They were all talking Spanish.”
I'm here to talk about the past.
Cookie Rojas!
I remember watching an A’s vs. California Angels game back in ‘88, and after the A’s took a big lead, the camera crew got a shot of Angels Manager Cookie Rojas in the dugout, prompting announcer Monte Moore to say, “And his Rojas is gettin’ Cooked right now!”
Cracked up the 14-year-old me…

There is a link of you dancing in your chair?

Now we're talking.

I can be in 2 places at once, I think.
That or it can be one of those open faced sandwiches.

A friend shared this with me and I thought AN would want to weigh in. This bodes well for the majority of the ladies on AN. Not so much for the guys. Source and article.

My question though....
how many of those single men in the Bay Area are straight? Because really, San Francisco is GREAT as a single gay man, but for straight women? Not so much….

You’d always have someone to go to the club with who wouldn’t be all rubbing his junk all over your leg.

Okay, I disagree that unsolicited junk rubbage is inexcusable
But when my ladyfriends manage to drag me out to dance floor once every blue moon, they know what they’re getting into. It’s not like I’m going to Thriller all of a sudden. I’ve got one “move” and I’m sticking to it.
Well, remind me not to go dancing with you.
I don’t want you sticking it to me.
Bring Jerry AND Gio back!
I've been known to bust an occasional move, myself.
Actually, that’s a lie.
I’m far too short, fat, and white to attempt any sort of dancing.

Last Friday I was playing Rock Band 2 with my wife and another couple.
I was on the mic, and when Moonage Daydream came up, I mimicked some of Bowie’s dance moves that I had seen earlier in the week from the video of the Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars tour in 1973.
It mainly consisted of me putting my foot up on the TV console and thrusting my pelvis repeatedly.

Oh well hell, I can do *that*
Though I’ve never gotten the hang of RB or RB2. I think it’s because I started playing Guitar Hero first, and they’re JUST different enough that my timing is screwed up trying to play Rock Band.
"I’m Joey Devine, I’m what Joba Chamberlain would be if he was good and nobody had ever heard of him."
Maybe the calibration is off, because they shouldn't be different.
Or maybe when you were playing RB, you were more drunk.

Sadly, no.
I dunno if it’s the difference in gameplay (lines vs buttons) or something.
"I’m Joey Devine, I’m what Joba Chamberlain would be if he was good and nobody had ever heard of him."
Lines vs Buttons?
Oh, the round shapes instead of the pill shapes. Yea, maybe.
I hate when GH changes all the colors to that blue shade that means you did something good. I usually end up screwing up and doing something bad.

See, this just isn't true.
Assuming you’re just looking for a piece and not a full on relationship, that is.
"I’m Joey Devine, I’m what Joba Chamberlain would be if he was good and nobody had ever heard of him."
Speaking from experience
SF is, uh, really skewed towards the benefit of single men. Lots of young, motivated, up-wardly mobile, athletic young women who are all feeling the crunch of a shortage of available men. You can sometimes feel a tangibly oppressive air in bars where there are ladies on the hunt and not enough prey.
Those are actually
overwhelming numbers.
Am I to assume that there are just that many more men period in the SF/LA areas or is my logic off? Of course I am not even sure what my logic is.
I'm here to talk about the past.
I got that part.
My brain is doing some weird shit today, so bear with me, but it made me wonder who all those women are married to if there are that many more single men. It kind of would have to mean that there are that many more men period.
I’m gonna take a nap now.
I'm here to talk about the past.
Didn't take
a stat person to figure that out, did it?
I’m exhausted today. Not even sure why I’m going tonight. I guess because I like baseball, and because I can.

Whiskey.
"I’m Joey Devine, I’m what Joba Chamberlain would be if he was good and nobody had ever heard of him."
do they have Whiskey at the A's games?
because really, I was thinking beer

What the F, ladies?
There needs to be a migration west, preferably to Eugene. You haven’t lived until you’ve spent the early evening splitting a half-rack of PBR pounders while watching my moronic friends playing Guitar Hero III, followed by hitting a bunch of hipster bars until the wee hours of the morning, each place more judgmental than the last.
Now that’s L-I-V-I-N.
When should I head over?
"I’m Joey Devine, I’m what Joba Chamberlain would be if he was good and nobody had ever heard of him."
I'm not off till 4:30
But I can catch up like a mofugga….

I miss Eugene
I have so many stories from my time there that are probably not appropriate for posting online, but yeah, Eugene is an awesome town. Are you there for school Joey?

an apple pie that would make you giggle for a week afterwards just thinking about it, and completely ignore anyone who didn’t have any, because they’re just not worthy of your company.

Wow. Huge, huge, HUGE props to a buddy of mine.
From his Facebook page:
“Bone marrow donation day. They take my blood out of my body, spin it around in a machine, then put blood back into my body. Started at 7:30 am – going until 3 today. Lying in the hospital bed as I type this.”
“All I know is that I am a match for a 25 year old man with leukemia from NY.”
"I’m Joey Devine, I’m what Joba Chamberlain would be if he was good and nobody had ever heard of him."
Awesome
Tell your buddy that gigglingone in California says he’s awesome.
And for those of you who are interested, I highly recommend you sign up for the National Marrow Donor Program. It’s super easy (they sent me a giant q-tip in the mail, I swabbed my cheek and sent it back…that was about it), and it can help save a life.
And while you’re at it, go donate blood too. And bring canned food to the game tonight. And send me your paycheck.
Oh, maybe not that last one. Unless you want to…. ;)
There's no crying in baseball!
I could, but I get paid electronically. Sorry.

Worlds are colliding!
Not quite as badly as the time that Relationship George had to confront Independent George, but still badly as to cause concern. Grave concern.
A co-worker of mine just asked another co-worker if it was a bad thing that he found the Jack In The Box mini sirloin burgers song catchy.
This shit just got real.
