8/20/09 DLD -- Better late then never, right?

Wow, when was the last time we had a DLD posted after 4 in the afternoon? Craziness....

 

Anyways, it's an offday, so we need a DLD. Or so say some people.

 

This video is disturbingly amusing. It's totally safe for work, so no worries on that, but seriously, someone made a video for this???  It's something you just kinda pick up. And I swear, about 2/3 the way through, it looks like she's killed it. Though the alternating between real and stuffed amused me throughout.

 

Kennedy, Davis, and Suzuki up for the Aaron award.

 

Dodgers signed this guy.

 

I got nothin' else. Enjoy this dump folks. Play with it early and often. And enjoy the off day tonight. A's and Tigers starting Friday night, 7:05 first pitch.

A woodchuck could chuck as much wood as a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood.

At least, that’s the answer from some joke and riddle book I had way back in elementary school.

Albert Pujols says that everyone is waiting for him to fail, as he is largely believed to be baseball’s best player.

“I’m the one guy that everyone can’t wait until I fail. It seems like everybody just wishes me the worst,” Pujols said. “That’s the way it is. What can you do?”

Many are waiting to see Pujols linked to performance-enhancing drugs as many of the game’s recent top players have been (Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and Alex Rodriguez).

The Mets parted ways with Livan Hernandez Thursday afternoon and as expected activated Billy Wagner from the disabled list.

Hernandez made his last start Monday, giving up six earned runs in a 10-1 loss to the Giants.

Tim Hudson is set to make his next-to-last rehab start Sunday for the Class AAA Gwinnett.

Jake Peavy is rehabbing from an ankle injury and might face Hudson on Sunday. Peavy struggled in his second start for Class AAA Charlotte on Tuesday, allowing five hits and four runs (three earned) in four innings.

Bud Selig said MLB would seek to subject international amateurs, who currently are recognized as free agents, to the draft, as both the cap and the “worldwide” draft have been discussed in previous CBA negotiations; however, neither has survived to make it into the final agreement.

“There’s no question in my mind, in 2011, certainly a [hard] slotting system and a worldwide draft are things we will be very aggressive in talking about,” Selig said.

According a report, Gary Sheffield asked for a contract extension from the Mets Thursday and was denied.

Sheffield is now threatening to leave the team and, according to reports, might soon be released.

Things had been running smoothly in New York until Sheff made a couple of curious comments on Tuesday night in reaction to trade rumors. “Based on what I know now, no, I do not think I will be here,” he said that night. “But if I am sent to a team that I don’t want to play for, I would go home.”

He was scratched from the lineup Thursday night.

Not that I've read every piece of information about this at exhaustive length, but

I think cougars definte themselves as women who date men eight years (or more) younger than them.

It also says, all ages welcome, but I’m supposing there’s a practical lower limit of around 30ish.

This means I’d be able to, er, meet ladies 38+. If I were going. Which, as I said before, I’m definitely not. With any of my friends. At all.

It's hard being younger than 23

For practical reasons if you can’t get into a bar it’s hard to meet cougars. Also it’s really hard to date older girls when you are still in college and one of the younger people at the bar/club. Now that Im 23 I was getting cougared like everytime I went to indie pop dance clubs there for a while. I’m glad it stopped, cougars can be hella drama.

Townie bars though? They’ll hop on anything.

It’s not baseball-related, but a 16-year-old teenage girl saved everyone on a bus after the bus driver dropped dead.

Rachel sprang into action after driver Ramon Fernandez collapsed and tumbled out of the bus as it roared toward an Elmhurst intersection Tuesday afternoon. Aboard the bus were nine children, ages 7 to 14, and Rachel, who doesn’t even have a learner’s permit.

Rachel Guzy quickly bounded into the driver’s seat and pulled the emergency brake, slowing the vehicle before it crashed into a minivan.

No one was seriously hurt in the accident.

Fernandez was later pronounced dead, apparently from a heart attack.

The Rangers’ Neftali Feliz could be like the Angels’ Francisco Rodriguez out of the bullpen.

Neftali Feliz can be an X-factor out of the bullpen. He could have a similar impact as Francisco Rodriguez when he was a rookie with the 2002 Angels.

“He’s this year’s K-Rod,” says one scout. “No matter who it is up there, he strikes you out. He’s got one of those arms that could throw a marshmallow through a battleship.”

and, speaking of the University of Chicago

I’m going to this alumni association event on sunday:

Join us as we watch the White Sox battle the Baltimore Orioles. We have seats in several sections in the upper deck. Prior to the game Baseball Prospectus Vice President, Nate Silver, AB’00, and several of his BP colleagues will share their thoughts on the construction of this year’s White Sox club and on the state of the majors. Using a methodology referred to as Sabermetrics, Nate will take us through statistical analysis of the happenings of the 2009 season and his projections for the post-season and beyond.

Harvard did win the NCAA hockey championship in 1989. BU, #56 in the US news poll, has pretty much been the nation’s best hockey program over the years and won it all in 09. So, hockey and intelligence aren’t necessarily mutually exclusive.

But smart people on the west coast don’t play hockey. Of course, dumb people don’t either.

Hockey and intelligence

may or may not be mutually exclusive, but Harvard having a hockey team doesn’t prove it. Harvard’s product, both in terms of input and output, is a quality which is only lightly correlated with intelligence.

If you’re looking for a school with overall high intelligence, you’d do much better targeting a science-geek school like CalTech, or else a pot-smoking hippie school like Reed.

I know a lot of harvard and MIT people

and a few caltech but no reed. they’re all pretty smart. none of them play hockey, though . . .

my point is only that hockey and intelligence aren’t mutually exclusive. so, i’d say that harvard and BU – not a slouch of a school – playing hockey well does in fact prove the point.

btw having played most sports I know of at least a couple times, I’d have to say that, for sheer joy of the game, hockey is tops. I’ve only played 3 hockey games in my life, all as an adult, and i’m no gretzky. but is that ever a great game to play.

Derek Jeter joked to Joe Girardi the other day that he could see himself being a designated hitter for five more years after he stops playing short, saying that designated hitter duties are "easier" because "you only have to worry about one thing."

A handful of reporters were talking with Jeter on Wednesday when one asked him if he could see himself being a DH at age 41, six years from now.

"You’ll see me at short still," Jeter said unjokingly.

Jeter’s contract is up at the end of 2010, and his situation will be a very tricky one for the Yankees. It’s hard to imagine him taking a huge pay cut, especially when you consider the MVP-type season he’s having this year. But his 10-year, $189 million deal was signed in the one year when salaries were at their all-time highest.

Just One More A's Fan Pissed Off about Wednesday's game

Flight disrupted by naked man returns to Oakland airport
By Angela Hill
Oakland Tribune

OAKLAND — An incident on a Southwest Airlines flight in which a man became combative and stripped naked forced the pilot to return to Oakland, authorities said.

Passenger Jim Scanlon, 52, of San Ramon, who was on a business trip, saw the melee unfold.

“About 20 minutes into the flight, I heard a ruckus about four rows behind me. This big guy, about 6-1 and a good 300 pounds, wearing an Oakland A’s baseball cap, probably in his mid-20s, had hit a lady in the mouth,” Scanlon said. "He was yelling but not making any sense. Then he hit or slapped another woman who was sitting next to her husband, and he hit him on the top of the head.

“A flight attendant came running up the aisle, but he faked a swing at

 her, and she ran back to the back of the plane," he said. “Another two crew members came toward him. He was totally out of his gourd.”

"We get two outs, and I was sure, and I had a plan, and I shook Tek off," Schilling said. "And I get a big 'What if?' for the rest of my life."

Funny you should mention it.

Of course I do prefer live theater, and that brings back a memory. Maybe about 10 years ago, in San Francisco, some time near Halloween (though I don’t think it was actually Oct 31), I attended a production of a short 19th century fetish play about spanking. Some ridiculous story about an all girls school.

I forget the name of the company, but I remember it was directed by Russell Blackwood who is a total freak (in a good way). It was presented with two other one-acts, one of which was a gory grand guignol and I forget what the third one was. But what I really remember was the spanking play. Oh my god, it was so fucking awesome. Way better than any movie. You should have been there.

Dude, I found it!

Thrillpeddlers.

The linked review is for the “sixth annual Shocktoberfest”. The one I went to was the first one, I think, so I guess that was 2000. The spanking play is “Arthur’s Flogging”. Live and bare-ass and I was only about three rows away!

Come to think of it, I think I went in drag. I mean, come on … Halloween, San Francisco, spanking. I’m pretty sure I would have.

I'm trying to remember what year I cut my hair.

I pretty much stopped doing drag after I cut it, because it wasn’t the same. For many years in my late 20s and early 30s I had crazy-long, down-to-my-ass hair, which first of all goes a long way in helping you pass, and second was fun to put in a girly style for a change. As a guy you pretty much can do ponytail and that’s it, which sucks because there are many many more comfortable ways to get your hair out of your face. But even something as simple as a barrette is considered unmanly.

Agreed.

Though when I acknowledge the unfairness of sartorial gender stereotyping, it is not with the delusion that this is unique to men, but in sympathy with women who, in spite of being allowed to wear pants, still have it worse than we do. (Side note if anyone else is listening: gaining deeper sympathy for what it’s like to be a woman is the number one reason to cross-dress.)

For a while I played rebel and defied the stereotypes and wore barrettes and other “girly” things anyway even while insisting that I was just being me and that didn’t make me feminine or gay or whatever. But then sometimes you get tired of being an activist and just want to be ordinary, so you go along with convention.

Note to you and gigglingone, I’m going to unrec this thread now and it should come of the recommended list. It’s mostly run it’s course now. More to the point, I promised Lynn I wouldn’t let her tailgate post fall off the list, and since I’m headed out soon I won’t be able to watch and make sure.

Simmons on soccer?

He wrote about being at this game. It’s actually a decent read:

Did I love it? Of course! Why do you think I wanted to go in the first place? Have you ever had someone tell you in all seriousness, “We don’t want to sit in the stands, we would get hit by bags of urine”? Ever mention wanting to wear your team’s jersey into another team’s stadium and have someone answer without a trace of humor, “You should just wear a jersey that says ‘KILL ME’”? This was like a cross between a Raiders game and the Pistons crowd at the tail end of the Artest melee, only if it had lasted three straight hours.
On the way back to our hotel, driving in our bulletproof car, we passed under a bridge on the highway and noticed one lone Mexican man happily swinging a flag back and forth. He had to have been 45 minutes from the stadium. There was nobody around him. He just kept swinging that flag with a joyous grin on his face. I remember thinking to myself, “Nobody in America will ever care about a sport that much.” And we won’t.

I really, really wanted to go see Barcelona vs Chivas on Aug 8th. Barcelona is one of the best teams in the WORLD, and they brought their A squad. Once in a lifetime chance to go watch them, really.

I didn’t go, because Ididn’t want to pay 75 bucks for a ticket to have 70,000 Chivas fans throwing shit at me for waving a Barca scarf.

Just saw this blurb on RotoWorld to the left.

Daric Barton – OAK

Athletics activated 1B Daric Barton from the 15-day disabled list.
Barton should see ample playing time at first base the rest of the way after missing three weeks. Whatever possible value Tommy Everidge ever had now is gone.

Kinda rubs me the wrong way, but I can’t quite express it properly.

You have to remember that RotoWorld's comments

are directed specifically at fantasy baseball players. When they say something about a player’s “value”, they mean the value of picking him for your fantasy team, not his value in real-life baseball.
