DLD 7/9/9

Since no one wants to post one up, and i was looking to add a nice little link i found, here it goes...

 

Coliseum holds fond memories for Tulowitzki

Hmm Tulowitzki is from the Bay Area and rooted for the A's as a kid. He plays a position known to cause black holes in the Coliseum, has power, bats right, and is cost controlled for several years to come. 

Just fantasizing, but what would you think it would take to land him?

 

Dump away....

thats some good thinking

What you fail to understand in your joyless myopia is that baseball is the key to life-- the Rosetta Stone, if you will. If you just understood baseball better all your other questions your, your... the, uh... the aliens, the conspiracies they would all, in their way be answered by the baseball gods.

I love it that

the Rajai-Hannahan-Crosby option is getting 1/3 of the vote (yeah, it’s SSS right now).

Way to stay optimistic everyone!

The ptbnl in that deal

would have to be one of MAC to get that deal done.

Valiant effort for a DLD at 3:16pm on an off day.

Good man (or woman).

Nico: Okay. We have twelve hours to make a really big pickle.

Apparently, the Moneyball movie is back on, but with Aaron Sorkin instead of Soderbergh.

Clayton Tanner. I have nothing witty to add.

Oh NO!!!!

Hanrahan gets the win

Even more confusion will ensue, so I suggest BB pick this guy up ASAP. He can win a game sitting in his hotel room, when has our 3B done that?

If Ziegler blows a save... I'll flag his next post.

Shamless self-promotion, but here goes

I just wrote an article for abetteroakland about development on the central esutary

Yay Oakland! Also, sim city is fun.

Yuni Betancourt to Royals for Danny Cortes and Derrick Saito

What the hell?

Oh hell no. Cortes is a fringe top 100 prospect. Hell no. I don’t like it when other GMs just help the Mariners out like that. Ew.

These guys don’t seem to be sharing the same level of elation.

If LL is happy and RR is not, that just means..

RR takes the failings of their team in remarkable stride

There seems to be more demusement from RR folk than the gnashing-of-teeth and tearing-of-hair that ANers often go through.

When Mike Jacobs, HoRam, and Willie Friggin Bloomquist

were all part of ONE offseason, it saves your blood pressure to not rage in the teeth-gnashing, hair-tearing way.

Mariners GMs making smart trades???

What is the world coming to?

Well, I guess they were due.
