Dallas Braden returns to Stockton for a rehab start tonight
"I'm going to be the most excited person in that stadium and in that clubhouse, bar none, guaranteed, hands down," Braden said. "I'm going to have to reel it in and understand it's just a rehab start, make sure I feel good and not worry about anything else, but that's going to be hard to do with the city across my chest."
Braden could hardly bend his elbow in the weeks after pitching the perfect game. His flexor tendon was inflamed. His arm felt tight. He played catch only five times in June. Trainers diagnosed him with tendinitis, but Braden said there is no sign of structural damage.
Ports manager Steve Scarsone said the A's would like Braden to throw five innings or about 75 pitches.
Braden last pitched in a California League game on July 30, 2006, with the Ports. Braden was assigned to Stockton in 2005 and 2006, compiling a 8-0 record with a 3.49 ERA (22 ER/56.2 IP) in 10 career starts for the Ports. He struck out a total of 81 batters as well in his Ports career, including 64 in the 2005 season. He was named the A's Organizational Pitcher of the Year for his performance in Stockton and Double-A Midland in 2005.
Joe Girardi and Phil Hughes, good news — not that many people saw the late-inning collapse

Paul Lukas on how MLB went from stirrups to pajama pants
All of which makes today's young players associate the high-cuffed style with crotchety old fuddy-duddies who told them how to dress a certain way. Once they make it to the majors, they want to leave that style behind, just like they stop wearing double-earflapped batting helmets. And if a player doesn't feel that way himself, he'll often face peer pressure from teammates. Check out this quote from David Wright's blog in 2006 (yes, Wright had a blog): "The veterans on the team give me a hard time about it when I wear the pants up. ... I guess the general feeling is that the pants-up look is a high school or college type of style. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but there's a high value on looking and acting like a professional in this clubhouse."
Of course, "looking like a professional" is in the eye of the beholder, but you get the larger point. (As an aside, Wright now has one of the strangest pants protocols in the bigs: Since 2008, he's gone high-cuffed for day games and low-cuffed for night games, an odd system that he's never explained except to say, "That's just how I like to do it.")

People are using the internet to get high? What?
At least, that’s what Oklahoma News 9 is reporting about a phenomenon called "i-dosing," which involves finding an online dealer who can hook you up with "digital drugs" that get you high through your headphones.
And officials are taking it seriously.
"Kids are going to flock to these sites just to see what it is about and it can lead them to other places," Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs spokesman Mark Woodward told News 9.
I-dosing involves donning headphones and listening to "music" — largely a droning noise — which the sites peddling the sounds promise will get you high. Teens are listening to such tracks as "Gates of Hades," which is available on YouTube gratis (yes, the first one is always free).

Here's what I'd planned to post on AN at some point
Facebook relationship statuses have received a lot of press lately.
Some feel that managing the all-important status is just another trap for unsuspecting daters and dater haters to fall into.
Some even think that making a relationship “Facebook Official” is a jinx.
Most feel that it’s complicated (and those people LOVE making that pun), but luckily there’s help for those who are having trouble figuring out what the different statuses mean.
Heck, there’s even a petition to add Bromance as a category in the relationship column!
So, it was only after a discussion with the other affected party that I changed my Facebook status today, to “Engaged.”
As a non-participant, I'm only just barely aware of
Facebook standards and etiquette.
Nevertheless, I found the South Park episode hilarious.

I move for a permission

a) exclusive use by the requester and
b) special and rare occasions where it is deemed appropriate by the named requester.
Writing of a mentioned nickname is always to be accompanied by the loud pronunciation of the same, carried out in a voice so deep that even a lineup full of “unghs!” would not do it justice.

I don't think they've done a whole lot right this off-season
Getting rid of Maggette was good, but I don’t care for David Lee much at all (though he’s a good player and I don’t like the contract itself), I think Udoh was a bad pick, and I don’t think the front office should have been making any major moves with a sale imminent.
I’m glad Cohan’s gone but I’d have much preferred Ellison. Not because he could just throw as much money at things as he wanted (that’d be silly – it’s more about spending it intelligently), but because everyone knows he doesn’t settle for losing.
Last of the Ninth - Photography
David Lee received a fair contract. He was third in the league in rebounding last year while putting up over 20 points per game with a really good true shooting percentage. I’d rather pay Lee $13.3 million for six years than Amar’e Stoudemire $100 million for five years. David Lee is an All-Star and makes the Warriors a much better team.
Ekpe Udoh wasn’t a great pick, but this was a five player draft and we had the sixth pick. The Warriors went defense over offense with the pick and I can’t blame them for that. If I could do it over, I’d probably take Paul George considering we acquired David Lee and we could probably use another wing the most.
Lastly, in free agency, we let Anthony Morrow walk via a sign-and-trade and so we received something rather than nothing. As a counter, we signed a legitimate small forward in Dorell Wright. He’s a pretty good defender, a pretty good shooter and a great rebounder. He’s only 24 as well.

ok, so i was in the oakland museum the other day. there’s a california history exhibit, you may have heard (i hadn’t, but that’s why my wife tells me what to do, where to go, everything…). and in the 50s era corner, next to some blenders and household items aiming to put the kitsch in kitchen, there was a touch-tone phone. i really puzzled at this. it looked vintage, as in, i’d believe the weathering of the plastic, the color (light blue), the design (tabletop phone like you remember them if you remember them), etc. but were there really touch-tone phones that far back? i’m a dolt when it comes to keeping up with appliances. (i had a rotary till 2004—not kidding—which i had to give up when i moved into a building with a front-door buzzer that relied on me hitting pound to let visitors in. and which i would have kept, if i’d predicted that in a year of living there i’d have let in exactly zero visitors via buzzer.) but am i that far off about this? anybody know when the first touch tone came about?

When I was growing up
we had phones that were pre-touch-tone, so they had buttons, but made the rotary clicking sounds when you pressed them. Sometimes when my sister started dialing one of her friends’ numbers, since it was a slow process, I would pick up another phone, press a random digit, and put it down, so she’d get the wrong number.
I had a push-button phone that gave the choice.
You could set the switch to tones or rotary clicks.
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
I used to be able to make the click calls by hand
just bounce the hang-up button N times, pause, M times, etc.
I also managed to sing one of the A/B/C/D tones that are only available on the phone-tech phones.
That was a ton of fun
I coulda claimed 415, 510, 925, 916 and 408
based on where I have lived – and the number of times area codes have changed….but there was not a choice for mulit-area coded….sigh.

510 cell, 415 office, 650 home. But I never give the 650 number out, partly because I’m in denial about living on the Peninsula and partly because in the 13 months I’ve had that number I have never once been able to remember it; I have to look it up on my cell every time. Anyway, I voted for 510, although my original area code of 612 is close to my heart as well.

I've gotten an audio high from a website before.
Over at gethighnow.com (the theme is to get high without drugs), there’s a section called Binaural Beats that has audio samples and explains how and why they work, and what the typical reaction is for each sample. I’m quite a skeptic for such things usually, but it has definitely worked for me.

The beats exist, of course. You hear them any time an orchestra tunes together. But that they have physiological effects? Not so much.

One of my memories of the old Oakland Metro theater,
the black box theater near Jack London Square, which I think maybe was torn down a couple years ago:
In the men’s bathroom, the resonance frequency of the corner you were in as you stood at the urinal was very strong, so if you hummed that note just right it would echo loudly. And furthermore, that frequency was just a touch off of the frequency of the bathroom’s fan. So therefore you could hum that note likely and get a wicked strong beat frequency.
I did that pretty much every time I used that bathroom. Which was a lot since I did a few shows with Oakland Opera Theater there.

that article is the joke. on journalism. such irresponsible writing, totally bending what was said into scary-sounding misinformation.
saying that oakland police can’t respond to calls about phony checks, loud music, extortion, or even unauthorized tv connections IS NOT saying that the police won’t respond to emergencies. one, because oakland police isn’t quoted in the article saying they wouldn’t respond to emergencies, and two, because those listed aren’t emergencies and you wouldn’t report them using 911! so how does this website get from one to the other (and expect me to read/believe anything else they ever write—or am i wrong in thinking this is a goal of journalism…)?

I've wanted to call the police to make noise complaints
But the idea of dialing 911 for that seemed to be incredibly stupid. The only reason I didn’t actually make the call is cause I didn’t want figure the local PD’s phone number. But yeah, if it isn’t life threatening, it’s not really an emergency.

As far as using 9-11 for non emergencies, I think an alternative is needed
No one remembers their local police department’s number, especially when people are going from town to town, area code to area code, state to state, etc… That is why 911 exists.
According to Wikipedia, the following N11 numbers exist.
2-1-1: community services
3-1-1: municipal government services, non-emergency
4-1-1: directory assistance
5-1-1: traffic information or police non-emergency services
6-1-1: telephone company (telco) customer service and repair
7-1-1: TDD relay for the deaf
8-1-1: underground public utility location,1 in Canada 8-1-1 is assigned for non-emergency health information and services
9-1-1: emergency services
I say make 311 mandatory by law, and make it the go-to number for non-emergency services across the nation. So if you have a problem that you need help for, know its not bad enough to be considered an emergency, but still need action (such as reporting a crime, etc…) then you can call 311 with out worrying about if you are just flooding 911 with something unnecessary.
the irony of course is that on cell phones, 911 doesn’t call your nearest center, but a general hub for the region. now you have to remember the local emergency number if you want 911-like help but faster. so save them on your phone and think about where you’re standing next time you have an emergency.
oakland emergency: 510 777 3211
berkeley emergency: 510 981 5911

You would think it would be easy to simply insert a program or script
that would reroute 911 calls to the nearest 911 Call Center relative to the cell tower that receives the call, and/or use GPS when available to fix your location first.

Hey
I made a nice little kick save in the first inning on a foul ball. ;-)
Was shooting from the Ports dugout and a sharp grounder came our way. Fortunately it stayed down and I stuck my foot up just in time for it to hit off the bottom of it. Kinda lucky it didn’t take a hop up – that could’ve been bad.
A few innings later the groundskeepers were going, “Nice stop, you looked nonchalant about it.” I said, “Yeah, good thing it stayed down.”
Berry Jo, ChickenStanley, SwisherThresher and Leopold Bloom were there too. Got to sit with them for a little bit.

Baseball Reference has him at huge K/9 numbers and not too many walks.
If he really throws 98 with movement without too many walks, I don’t understand why he’d be in an independent league anyway. But hey, can’t hurt to give him a shot in Sacramento.

Let me scratch that.
Looks like he had no control after getting drafted with the Cubs (5-6 BB/9 in A ball). Spent two years in an unaffiliated independent league and learned some control. A’s picked him up last year, and he had a 12+ K/9 with a sub-3 BB/9 in Stockton. Now he’s in Sacramento and still doing well. We could see him in Oakland, possibly.

Braden tonight
He had some rust, as you’d expect. Gave up 7 hits over 4+ innings, a few not hit very well, a few hit pretty hard. In fact, he departed after back-to-back homers by Visalia (to their credit, the guys who hit them seem pretty promising). Nice night, though. It was a good atmosphere and there were a lot of fans pretty much everywhere except down the third base line.

C. J.: How can you not want to see the butter cow?

Toby: We’re not going.
C. J.: There’s also a butter Elvis, and a butter Last Supper which has, I swear to God, Toby…
Toby: Butter on the table?
C. J.: It’s got butter on the table! Right there between butter James and butter Peter. An almost mind-blowing vortex of art and material that dares the viewer to recall Marcel Duchamp.

My last semester at Sonoma State,
(SEAWOLF! REPRESENT!)
I had it all set up. I had 24 units, but they were all lit classes. It was awesome.
Then I discovered I had overlooked one science class.
The only one available was the 8am Oceanography class. I took it pass/fail and the ONLY reason I passed that class is because the teacher was good friends with my English teacher mentor. I was there, at best, 40% of the time.

I suspect there's a correlation between
number of base runners per game vs. number of stolen bases per game.
Given that we know there’s a correlation between number of base runners and runs scored, I’m not finding the tweet very exciting.

my iPhone prediction thinks any short word that ends with s is “a’s” and if i don’t double check, all my e-mails and tweets read “a’s” instead of as.
More maddening: Before the new software upgrade, it at least changed everything to uppercase “A’s,” which is easier to spot. Somehow in the upgrade, it got changed to lowercase.
You’ll see me tweet a lot of accidental “a’s,” and my phone really wants to change Kouzmanoff’s position to “3D.”

Last time I jokingly poke at your tweet spelling mistakes.
She lives by the wall, and waits by the door.
She walks in the sun, to me.
my phone's predication IS a joke
so I don’t mind at all. also, I try to tweet too fast, which means more mistakes. usually, it’s the phone, though, I swear.
Trust me, I know what that's like now
Did a few last night during Braden’s start and had to be careful with typos.

I'm in the process of switching from a BlackBerry to an Android phone very soon
Last of the Ninth - Photography
I'm a little annoyed, though
I ordered the HTC Incredible after going to the local Verizon store where they said they had no idea when the Droid X would be announced.
Of course, the next day, the Droid X was announced.
I tried to call to see if I could cancel my initial order (it’s the two-year upgrade) and order the Droid X instead and they said there was no way to do it that way, that I’d have to basically “return” the unused HTC and order the X, and pay a $35 ‘restock’ fee for it.
Last of the Ninth - Photography
Pretty much, but I figure I'd rather have the Droid X for the next two years or so
Their explanation was basically that once the order is generated for the replacement phone under the upgrade plan, it can’t be canceled or have anything done with it until it ships.

You should not be revealing
tattoo information about your ex-wife, or any other ex, on a public forum.
This is not just proper etiquette, it greatly decreases your chances with women in the future.
(Note that this may not apply to women under 24, but you shouldn’t be targeting 23-year-olds anyway.)

Really, can we get rid of the SBN Blackberry ad-type thing yet?
I hope it’s not there more than a day or two. If people are regulars here they’ll see it and have already decided whether or not to check it out further.
Last of the Ninth - Photography
remember when the ads were going to be subtle and hardly noticeable and stuff
and then all of a sudden SBNATION DECIDED TO DO THEIR OWN ADS and take the place of the goddamn site content?
That fucking sucked.
Pam liked my old sig better.
This looks like one of those
It’s only on baseball-related sites and it doesn’t look (at first glance) like the people who handle each site had a say in it. That’s my assumption and it seems like a reasonable one.
It matters to me because I hate seeing our own page content pushed down by some stupid BlackBerry-driven ad I doubt most of us will give a damn about. If it starts there, it’s going to expand.

Big time actors dont stand around and wait for the lighting to be perfect.
That’s what stand-ins do. They run the scene to make sure that it looks technically correct, then the actor comes and everything’s perfect for them to shoot.

I dont see Pitt as Beane either. Ever since they changed producers and scrapped the original (fucking awesome) Steven Zaillian script Ive had nothing but low expectations for this film.
-Yeah, I just posted that, but my opinion is apparently "wrong" a significant portion of the time though, so take it as you will.
I still have high hopes.
It’s not like they got some crappy director like Brett Ratner or something. And they still have Aaron Sorkin as a writer, right?

The boss is gone, and the place has cleared out.
I’m the last one actually in the office, though we have some remote workers.
I’m getting the eff out of here.
Good call.
I’ve been the only one here since about 2:30. Time to close the office and go play pinball.

Got worse
Stayed 30+ minutes late doing nothing for about 5 minutes worth of actual work. Then took 45 minutes to get home. I live just across town. Takes 10 – 15 minutes at most. But because they expanded 101 in San Rafael all the traffic backs up through Novato on top of which you have Race traffic too. Just getting one exit down is near impossible.

Some people just like to have a job. I'm not one of them.
I could be unemployed forever. For one thing, I genuinely enjoy sitting around doing nothing at all. I also wish I could just read for about six or eight hours a day. And I always have about 20 research/creative projects on the shelf that I’d like to pursue some day but never get around to. In spite of the fact that in real life I don’t watch it much, I actually like TV, so if I didn’t have other more interesting things to do, I’d be pretty content to watch TV for several hours a day, too. And I like micro-travel around the local area. I love taking daylong road trips, taking all the little mini-hikes along the way.
I have a good job and I like it, but if I didn’t need to make a living, I’d never miss it. There are about 50 times more things I’d love to do than time I have to do them.

Good poins
I’m trying to read more. I’ve had a job of some sort since I graduated high school (granted, small sample size), so inactivity just feels… weird. I feel like I have to be doing SOMETHING. I realized that I tied a lot of my identity into what I did, not so much who I am… if that makes any sense. I’ve always thrown myself into my work, but right now, there’s nothing there.
"Don't look back. Something might be gaining on you." - Satchel Paige
Good luck, YY
I’m not out of work, but for a while there my hours were scaled back quite a bit. I too have a hard time coping when I don’t have something to structure my life around. While I enjoy a lot of the things iglew mentioned, it’s very easy for me NOT to do all the excellent things I meant to do with my free time (write music; learn another language; write that novel the world’s been waiting for; exercise for once in my life), and instead squander time drinking too much, watching TV or whatever. So I fill up some of my extra time doing volunteer work; it’s good for me in a lot of ways, and so many places need the help in these times. Doing chores and projects around the house helps me feel more productive (and it saves money of course), at least when it’s a project I can handle. And just walking around the town/city or hiking helped me too, in a meditative sort of way. I know this sounds like something Dear Abby would have written, and maybe nothing you haven’t thought of already, but all the same I wish you well.

The essence of unemployment is lack of a paycheck,
not lack of something interesting, rewarding and worthwhile to do.
There are always millions of things worth doing.
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
For a lot of people, I believe, the essence of unemployment is anxiety and a sense of purposelessness
The question then becomes: how do you deal with that?

by LoneStranger on Jul 17, 2010 2:02 PM PDT up reply actions
Yep.
Add to that the fear that if I go out and try to do something, what can I actually afford to do since whatever money/credit I have left over isn’t resupplying itself, so even though there are plenty of things I can do with my time, maybe I should stay home and save that time (and money and energy) towards finding a source of income. And that fear doesn’t simply increase a little every day, it has a tendency to increase exponentially.
Choosy Feebas choose Leopold Bloom nipples
I agree; that fear about how you're going to pay the bills, feed the kids, etc. was part of what I meant by anxiety
As for the purposelessness, l meant thatmy sense of identity (and, I’m sure, what people around me think of me) depends in large part on whether I provide for my family, whether I’m a “productive member of society,” things like that. When I don’t have that — and especially when it’s taken from me or even jeopardized for reasons way, way out of my control — it’s a blow. And I know that’s pretty typical.
Remember me sometime when I am far away/and I will try and do the same/Maybe just like you someday I will forget/every hit song America ever had -- Yo La Tengo, "Lewis"
Thanks for your insight... I really do appreciate it
Luckily, I have family I was able to fall back on, and I don’t have a wife and kids. So yes, already, I know I’m better off than a lot of people who are still looking for work. The purposelessness is that’s hurting. A lot of my personal pride came from knowing that yes, I had a job and was a contributing member of society. I’m realizing now that I’ve been tying up a lot of my self-worth in what I did for a living, but not necessarily who I am as a person. Like you said, the loss of control sucks.
There’s absolutely nothing to do in this town, and I’m hoping to move back to the Bay Area soon. I think taking a community college class or two will help with the life vs. work split I’ve really been bad at.
Wow. Um. Didn’t mean to get that deep. See, this is why AN rules.

A few shots from today's first round of the American Century Championship
There was a very familiar dude in the field. I followed him around for all 18 holes:
Getting ready to tee up. Along with Mulder, our group consisted of Ozzie Smith (purple shirt) and Neil Lomax. Yep, the St. Louis Cardinals group:
Trying to figure out how to get back on the fairway following a sliced drive onto Lake Tahoe’s beach. (Mulder was able to save par on this hole). Mulder’s extremely attractive wife, Lindsay, who walked most of the course with us, is visible on the cart path near the center of the photo, wearing the light dress. I considered asking Lindsay to pose for a close-up but thought that was a little too much invasion of privacy:
If you can get past the problems shown in that last pic…damn, not a bad way at all to spend a Friday:
The tournament has an official “no autographs during the round” policy, but in reality the players are very accessible between holes:
Mulder and Lomax waiting to figure out what it means when the horn blows twice after a huge bolt of lightning and deafening clap of thunder. (What it means is, play suspended, clear the course. We had a lightning delay of over an hour, so the entire round took nearly 6 hours including the delay.):
The bottom line is, try to be on the leader board at the end of the day. Mulder shot a 69 by conventional scoring; this tournament uses modified Stableford scoring as shown at left, so with 15 pars and 3 birdies, his score was 24 (hole is shown as 9 because this group played the back nine first):
What a fun day!
Eri Yoshida update
The Chico Outlaws announced today Japanese knuckleball sensation Eri Yoshida will make her fifth start of the year at home on Friday, July 23rd against the Orange County Flyers. Game time is set for 7:05 pm.
The team also announced Yoshida would make her first career road start of the year on July 27th, north of the border in Victoria, British Columbia against their fellow GBL North foe Seals.

Moylans’s Brewery and Restaurant it was awesome! the crust was crispy underneath and soft on top, the sauce was sweet and tangy but a little spicey, and the toppings were great.

Best water I ever had was from a well in Anchor Point, AK,
about 10 miles north of Homer.
I’m confused about the statement that L.A. tap water is bad, though. Has that changed recently? I haven’t been to L.A. in ages, but when I was there I remember that the tap water was good, so long as you were within the city proper. Outside the city the water was bad, which was a handy way of keeping track of what is technically Los Angeles and what is not, which isn’t clear since all the sub-cities within L.A. insist on using their own names in their addresses. But the water was dramatically different when you crossed outside of city limits. In Santa Monica, for example, it was nasty, which made me say, “oh, so Santa Monica is a separate city then? huh.”

Wood fire is good
But not a requirement for good pizza. Definitely needs something to give the crust a nice crisp, but short of that, oven-wise, whatever works (including a BBQ).

Dan Haren is "available" from the Diamondbacks
their asking price is a very steep “2 Starters and a Reliever”
My question is, is it worth it?
Dan over his career has been worth 4, 4, 4.9, 6.5, 6.1 WAR, with this year being 2.6 WAR despite being a down year. His ERA doesn’t look great, but his FIP is still good, and XFIP still better.
If, at face value, the asking price is 2 starters and a reliever, what quality starters and reliever are they looking for?
To throw out an offer, would we do Gio Gonzalez, Vince Mazzaro and Andrew Bailey? From their perspective, that looks pretty good, and from our perspective, we’d basically condense our Starting Pitching situation a bit, combining Mazzaro and Gonzalez into a higher WAR pitcher, though leaving our closing situation wide open. It looks to me to seem like a wash in terms of WAR (Our 3 = Haren’s WAR or so) but with them dispersing and us condensing.
