Looks like we need a fresh Link Dump. I'm not the fancy DLD type, I just dump and run. Plus it took me forever to get this published and I thought I lost it twice because of the pop-up blocker.

assuming he doesn’t put up great numbers and doesn’t see a great FA market developing for him. If the A’s offered him arby he’d likely make $16-17 million for 2010.

Olney is a moron.
It would be a great scenario for the A’s, but the A’s shouldn’t risk it unless they’re confident that they’re contending for the AL West.

The only thing I can chalk it up to is shoddy, lazy, in-need-of-a-story reporting
I don’t see ANY downside to Holliday accepting arby. It’s not like we’ve got a ton of LF prospects banging on the door right now. Matt’ll be sure to adjust even further to the AL in his next season (assuming he accepts arby), he’ll draw closer to his career averages and then give the A’s the same opportunity to trade him at the deadline but with more trade value than this year.
Holliday at around 15 million on a one-year contract?? Oh Noes1
by cityplANner on Jun 16, 2009 11:22 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Considering what's coming off the books
That’s a great deal for the A’s. Very short term, no long-term negative effect, another opportunity to trade him mid-season. Really, the only negative i see is if he falls apart and sucks ass. But then it’s only one year of that. Hardly the end of the world.

I hope Holliday goes on a tear
and then Beane trades him for some close to major league ready talent. I have no idea who to target in that scenario but I like that instead of draft picks, we need help now.

He got off easy but the family just wanted it finished.
Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle cited Stallworth’s lack of previous criminal record, cooperation with police and willingness to accept responsibility as factors in the plea deal. Rundle also said the Reyes family — particularly the victim’s 15-year-old daughter — wanted the case resolved to avoid any more pain.
Stallworth told police he flashed his lights in an attempt to warn Reyes,
you have time to flash your lights but not swerve out of the way or stop?

Yeah that's the last thing I'd think to do in such an incident.
I nearly had a crash the other week, I swerved to avoid it, and yeah flashing the lights never crossed my mind. Beeping the horn after the event though, that’s something I did. I also might have cursed a little…

The thing is about Miami...
is that pedestrians are considered nuisances and it’s socially acceptable to speed up or flash your lights to get them to move out of your way faster.

Actually, funny story.
You’re supposed to go to the beach and watch young women frolic while you masturbate to them. Then, later, you’re supposed to follow your drunken friend to the red light district and have seriously psychedelic delusions in the form of a play. Then you invite the young man home to sleep on the couch of the house where your wife has earlier cuckolded you. It’s a full day.

Weird Al has had a long career, I guess since he mostly covers other peoples songs he won’t run out of material. His last albulm in 2006, “Straight Out of Lynwood”, is actually his most commerically successful. I actually think his original songs are funny also.

Weird Al Trivia
Weird Al’s song Dare To be stupid was used in Transformers: The Movie As the “theme song” for the race of robots called the Junkions, lead by the robot Wreck-Gar.
It is a great movie, but LB would hate it since he hated the show. It had a lot great actors provide voices in the film; Eric Idle (voiced Wreck-Gar in the film), Judd Nelson, Leonard Nimoy, Casey Kasem, Robert Stack, John Moschitta, Jr., Peter Cullen and Frank Welker. It was also the final role for both Orson Welles (voice of Unicron the giant planet eating villian) and Scatman Crothers.
Anyways, Weird Al later would voice the character Wreck-Gar in Transformers Animated and would reference the song by yelling “I am Wreck-Gar, I Dare to be Stupid!”.
Whoa, did that just blow your mind ; -)

Hunger (The song that plays when Hot Rod and Kup get dropped in the sharkticons tank)
Unicron Medley (this song makes me sad, it is the song of death in my mind)
I remember getting this movie on VHS for christmas, it was a sad movie for a little kid. The first scen has an entire planet being destroyed and then they killed off 4 of the good guys. They released a 20 Year anniversary edition on DVD, I picked that up too.
