DLD 6/18/1990: Birthday Edition

PrintIt is officially my birthday now so I thought I'd give a gift to all of AN and make a DLD for this wonderous day!
Today is the 169th day of the year and there are 196 days left until everyone wakes up with an enormous hangover. Some highlights of this day include, but are not limited to:
- Amelia Earhart was the first woman to fly across the Atlantic, although this time she was merely a passenger, in 1928.
- Sir Paul McCartney was born in 1942 on this day, as well as non-Sir Roger Ebert.
- As far as baseball goes, Jack Buck sadly passed away on this day in 2002 and Larry Doby followed in 2003. Well there goes my thoughts of jubilation...
- And for all you Tom Cruise fans, today is Academy Day if you are a Scientologist.
As for some real stuff:
Scientists have discovered transparent frogs, Kyle Farnsworth is the other other white meat, and this man is the human race's best candidate for being the first person to fly.
Finally, since it's my birthday I feel that I should be lucky today. So I'm going to try my hand at one shot of Kitten Cannon. My score is.......... a measly 738 feet. I guess I won't go to any casinos today.
That's all I got folks, prepare for dumpage in 3...2...1...wait we have a leak. Oh well, maybe next time.

I’m still shocked every morning when the SS tech group at work hasn’t blocked AN.
I already can’t check any of my fantasy teams at work and as of next month supposedly I wont be able to check yahoo email.
The worst part is when I click on some harmless link (especially one I know is harmless because Ive been there before) and it comes back “DENIED-THIS IS CATEGORIZED AS: INTERNET PORN”. It screws up the memory of all the real internet porn I am looking at the rest of the day…

my first shot I got 378 and then I couldn't get past it.
My wife would also hate this game.
and i love the Daft Punk song on the menu.
You have to include smiley faces - Poppy
;- ) :- ) :-O : -> : -] : -}
The song is Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger
Here is a few video clips from collegehumor.com of people “dancing” to the video. the first one has a person who has written the words on his/her fingers and hands and flashes the corresponding words to the lyrics. Which is harder than it sounds because the words go by fast.
Harder Better Finger Stronger This video is safe except for the middle finger is used to display a couple words. The site is a PG-13 type of NSFW.
This vid is “better” (HA!) because it is two girls in sports bras and small shorts with the words written on different body parts. Still PG-13 but worse than the finger vid.
Harder Bodies Faster Stronger (kind of NSFW)

June 18th....
…is also Waterloo Day in the UK. (It’s actually in reference to the Battle of Waterloo, but I’ve got ABBA stuck on the brain today….)
There's no crying in baseball!
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!!!!!
Nobody else will care, so I’m telling you:
BARCA IS PLAYING HERE IN AUGUST!!!!
"I’m Joey Devine, I’m what Joba Chamberlain would be if he was good and nobody had ever heard of him."
A lot of Europe's top teams are trying to crack America.
I wouldn’t get out of bed for that match, but each to their own.
Yeah, well, you're spoiled.
This is likely the only time I’ll be able to see Messi, Henry, etc at a live match.
At least until they’re old and crippled and come to MLS for $50M.
"I’m Joey Devine, I’m what Joba Chamberlain would be if he was good and nobody had ever heard of him."
On that topic, well kinda,
I really, really want this shirt, but as far as I’m aware they never released it.
Wouldn't miss it.
"I’m Joey Devine, I’m what Joba Chamberlain would be if he was good and nobody had ever heard of him."
One for the "Wow, that's totally shocking" department
Rotoworld says:
Michael Wuertz told reporters Wednesday that he’s “physically drained.”
“Maybe I’m a little tired,” Wuertz said. 0*"I’ve pitched in 31 out of 63 games – that’s a pretty good pace.* Sometimes that can catch up to you." Perhaps the coaching staff will take it easy on him for the rest of June. The 30-year-old has a 3.34 ERA and 1.01 WHIP in 29 2/3 relief innings this season.
Sigh.
"I’m Joey Devine, I’m what Joba Chamberlain would be if he was good and nobody had ever heard of him."
The first rule of being an Oakland A's pitcher...
is you do not talk out about anything.
Bad spellers of the world untie.
He's out of options
He’d have to be DFA’d.
That’s the only reason the Cubbies traded him for those AAAA guys.

Hi.

and thusly, all things must come full circle
And verily, on the third day Rajai raised up and revived his baseball career, hitting the ball over the wall none said could be breached. All praise him, the sacrficial bunt, moving our runners over from the perdition of 1st base to the blessedness of 2nd base and eventually the salvation of coming home.
wait, what?

Some A's stuff for today
Oakland is 23-15 on this date, and have won 13 of their last 16. Last year’s loss to Arizona snapped an eight-game win streak on 6/18.
Most consecutive losses on this date is six (1976-82), and they were by these scores:
3-2, 2-0, 2-1, 3-2, 3-2, and 6-4
They are 9-5 in one-run games, including three 2-1 contests, and two extra-inning wins.
The A’s have pitched two shutouts on this date, and have been blanked twice.
Three times they have won while allowing 9 or more runs. I’m. Not. Kidding.
The big explosion came in 2000- a 21-3 victory over the Chiefs, er, Royals.
And for you double-dippers the A’s swept a pair from KC in 1969, with Mr. Jackson homering in both games.
OK, I’m done.
I'm here to talk about the past.
Wow....need something to do?

"You end up with a name like ‘Outman,’" he said last week. "What else are you going to do? You’re going to get people out, man." ~ Dallas Braden
Happy Birthday
Nothing less than a win tonight will suffice
Keep the streak alive!
"Go ahead and overachieve, you scrappy Brett-Favre-colored walk-takers." —Rev Halofan
I am off to the game
With my business partner who is a diehard Dodger fan.
He even said the A’s could win. Well, he said that before the A’s won last night. He’s likes the A’s and hates the slug and is not a total homer of a fan.
He is also a diehard Laker fan so I have to hear about that all the way up there and back. I am also taking a friend who loves the Dodgers and Lakers as well so I am out numbered,
I myself do not hate the Dodgers and since my buddy hates the slegnA then we always get along fine
The streak will be kept
Tonight will be 11-0. If it doesn’t work, I will blame it on wearing blue jeans instead of black ones. Hope I don’t have to come up with that excuse.
Happy birthday
Wait… it’s 1990? I’d bet on the A’s to win the World Series this year, but I’m 3.
The horse jumped over the f---ing fence.

I didn't even realize I put 1990 in the title
That’s what I get for making this in the middle of the night.
Thanks for all the birthday wishes everyone, lets see if the A’s come through on their promise to win.

TMI Geren?!?
“Davis is a lot stronger than people think — he really is,” Geren said. “You watch him take batting practice, he’ll hit balls out of the ball park often. He’s very strong. You see him with his shirt off, he’s a pretty strong guy.”
Yes, Davis is very strong and hits the ball out all the time
like once a season.
Don't believe in yourself.
Believe in Me who believes in You.

Then we'd sweep for sure
