DLD 8-31 - happy birthday to AV (and me)

PrintIt's our Argentinian friend's birthday today, as well as mine. I've never been to Argentina, but it sounds nice. There's tango, and Boca Juniors, and four species of penguins. Juan Martin Del Potro is also from Argentina (and I believe he's a favorite of AV's), but he is sidelined with a wrist injury and is therefore not defending his title in the US Open.
Good things about being born this time of year? Watching tennis (IT'S A YOUTUBE LINK!) and that all the bars in the Mission are free of Burning Man types.
Bad things? All your friends are out of town (at Burning Man) so you can never have much of a party.
Links, gossip, carbonada recipes all welcome below!

Peter Gammons ran over his puppy. But that wasn’t the worst part. He then proceeded to back over it too. Then rolled forward again (#3), rolled down the window and said, "What are you going to do about it, kid? I’m Peter F**king Gammons, b**ch." Then drove away. -d to the moas

Manny is going to cut his dreads
to conform with the White Sox’s “appearance policy”; and thus, the Dodgers will not be unloading all of their unsold Manny wigs in Chicago.
(I really can’t take the appearance policy seriously as long as the Sox continue to employ A.J. Pierzynski.)

The only way an appearance policy could be good
is if it involved high socks (required) or black for black’s sake (banned).

It’s consistent with other uniform choices.

huh?
I love green. Black is not an A’s color.
Why exactly should I like black uniforms?

Black is plain and colorless. Simple. Comfortable.

I think maybe LB is still thinking of the White Sox.
Yes, the White Sox can wear black. I only object to it on the A’s.
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
black is a neutral color, as are white and gray.
White and gray are not part of the A’s colors, yet we have no objection to them being a part of the uniforms. Black is the same category.

The difference is that with
whites or grays, the green and yellow of the logo is still the most prominent color to the eye. That is not the case on the black uniforms.
If it were possible to make a black uniform in which the black looked like neutral background on which to showcase the green and yellow — as is the case with the whites and grays — I’d be fine with that.
I would not object to green shirts with black pants. (Actually, that would be kind of cool.)
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
Simply because your mind can not put black in the background as easily as white or gray
is not a valid reason to eliminate it. The only reason that the black does fade into the background as easily as white or gray is because it’s fairly new and, as such, is still not a familiar object. Once the object became a piece of the background, then the black would fade as well.
I posit that the sole reason that black stands out to you is because the black unis have been introduced in the last ten years. The white in the white unis is every bit as dominating, though it doesn’t look so because you’re used to it. Same with the gray.

Perhaps, but not Iglewish.
I would never say “not a valid reason”. I would either pose it as a suggestion to reconsider it based on this information, or a question like “why do you perceive these two things differently when in this way they would seem to be alike?” The latter is what I answered.

What you fail to understand in your joyless myopia is that baseball is the key to life-- the Rosetta Stone, if you will.
