I went and saw the original Muppet Movie tonight (you know, the 1979 version). They asked at the beginning who our favorite muppet is, and I automatically said Animal, because, you know, he's Animal. (Did anyone else have the Muppets Unpigged CD? AWESOME drum solo by Animal in that....)
But anywho, I digress.....after seeing the movie, I think Beaker is my favorite. And what's Beaker been up to lately? Well, taking in some classical music....

Use this lounge for a few days. Bunker down, hide if you need to, because it's getting stormy again.....

Hi - haven't been here for a few days.....anything worth checking in to in the LAST one?

Thank you, gigs
I’ll go Kermit…..he’s a glue guy despite the fact it’s not easy being green.
But seriously, folks....
I am not prepared to answer such difficult questions first thing in the thread
Get out the time-fracture wickets, Hobbes! We're gonna play Calvinball!
And please tell me you've seen the Beaker Habanera.
"This must be heaven," he says.
"No. It's Oakland."
Me and two friends re-enact it in bars when we get drunk.
(I’m always Beaker)
"This must be heaven," he says.
"No. It's Oakland."
Is it sad that Moneyball frustrates me
because I know how shitty the team is now? It’s like if, say, Rudy Ruettiger would’ve gone on to become a crack addict.

I can't be frustrated by the movie because A's on the big screen.
But I certainly understand the frustration
Get out the time-fracture wickets, Hobbes! We're gonna play Calvinball!
No, I feel the same.
It hurts because it’s a reminder of HOW GOOD things were, and there was so much hope, and well… yeah, that fucking 2002 draft class really turned out. :-/
"This must be heaven," he says.
"No. It's Oakland."
The opening scene
When I see Mulder, I just think… fuck… remember when it felt like the A’s were guaranteed to win 3 out of every 5 games?
"He's listed as day to day, but then again, aren't we all?" — Vin Scully
I never fancied him much
I think because I saw him first at FanFest, reading a picture book to some little kids. He wasn’t very good.

When Ted Lilly is the biggest of your problems, you be sittin’ pretty. :( AND WE DIDN’T KNOW. So much time spent raging about an anemic offense, when truly, we didn’t know just how anemic the A’s offense could get.
"This must be heaven," he says.

He basically discounted most of the whole Rudy movie as hogwash, much to the dismay of the crew on the show. But I still believe! “RU-DEE! RU-DEE! RU-DEE!”

I never really got a great feel for San Diego.

the monetary upgrade doesn't equal the quality for me
Also once they decided to do special BD only extras I said never will I spend one fucking dime on it.
Really?
If you look carefully, they’re not that much more expensive. And oh man, the visual difference can be staggering.
My eyes suck as is, now not so much but when they first came out they were.
I’m an early adopter, if you don’t get me in the first year it is unlikely to ever happen.

( I do know you didn’t aim it at me.☺ I was just funnin’ with you). I thought it was funny, that he/she wanted AN to return to what he envisioned, yet has only 29 comments since 2008. Sounds like a lurker. If he isn’t involved in the conversations, he does nothing to improve/help the site.

When I read quietfans profile, I was wondering...
Is AN just a research site for a grant he has? Is he one who never participates, but uses his position to judge others? very strange that he has so little influence in the day-to-day growth of AN. Hell, SCOTT BROSIUS had more impact!

i think his/her warning should be a warning to the powers at be. so many great posters have left this site. there are still a few left, but many of them have shifted the market share of their comments elsewhere. it depends what nico/blez want the site
to be. part of being an a’s fan is embracing the sabr-revolution. without guys like elcroata, salb (who left a long time ago), dfa, PT, etc…this site loses a lot of the value that i’ve come to enjoy. it’s not the only thing i enjoy, but it’s an important part of what i enjoy about the game and our little franchise that could/might/someday again be
just my 2 cents

the artist formerly known as inbillywetrust
Oh, I have no problem per se.
But if someone doesn’t participate, how does the rest of the site know what they are thinking? I consider it like someone who complains about governments, yet won’t vote. Has he ever posted to stop the meta/snarkiness? Sometimes being quiet is part of the problem.
"Trying not to rec a "F**k the Giants" post is like trying not to look at boobs."-anonymous
"i guess i just like beer"-stm
it's not their silence that's the notable or important. it's that they felt the need to speak up.
the artist formerly known as inbillywetrust
I must be missing something, stm.
If he has a problem with the past, yet hasn’t spoken until now, his silence helped get us here. If the silent majority don’t speak up, how is anyone to know where to take the site? If, say, 50 people in the past, had stated the same position as he every time snarkiness presented itself, those who are upset with management’s position may see the they aren’t the majority they envision.

I feel like I’ve done what I could but if there’s more I can do I will.

There's a lot of wisdom in this.

"No. It's Oakland."

Chicken Cordon Bleu, Twice baked Potatoes, and Broccoli/Califlower. Can anyone suggest a good wine to go with this? She prefers white wine, but I don’t like bitter wines.

a nice sauvignon blanc. if you wanna get fancy, a nice sancerre or viognier

I've seen very convincing arguments on both sides, from very smart people.

If I could I'd become a Panthers fan

But seriously, folks....
In regards to Montero I've read that Yankee prospects tend to get overrated
is that the case here? He’s been on the block for a couple of years now and he’s not known for his defense so all his value is as a hitter going to a park that’s hard to hit in.
But seriously, folks....
He's a legit A grade prospect, in my eyes.
Absurd upside, very young, his only knock is that he seemed to stagnate in AAA after destroying the league the previous year.
That A-Rod contract just keeps getting more and more fun for the Yanks
They’re going to have to eat so much money coming up.
But seriously, folks....
So who looks better right now....Rangers or Angels?
and are the Rangers going to be the Buffalo Bills of MLB?
But seriously, folks....
The Rangers.
Especially if they sign Fielder. Apparently they met with Fielder today. But even minus him, they’re a better team offense and defense.
If they get Prince I agree
that team would be able to rake up and down the lineup.
But seriously, folks....
On second thought, the Angels have a better rotation.
And it’s not close. Forgot about Weaver, Haren, AND Wilson. But Texas is still better, I think.
I really like what the Angels have
That 1-2-3 at the top of the rotation is really strong and I think Pujols is going to have a monster year.

Is Weeks the only guy Beane won’t trade?

Possibly.
And it seems funny to me that Weeks is the only untradeable guy on the roster, since he really doesn’t strike me as an elite talent or anything.
I want to see what Weeks does in year two before I make up my mind on him.
He’s fun to watch and sometimes I overrate fun players.
But seriously, folks....
Yeah, definitely don't get me wrong.
I like him, and I think he’ll be a solid player for a good long while. But not to that “untradeable” level of value.

I still want someone who has been a head coach somewhere before but outside of Dom Capers I haven’t seen anyone linked to the job that has that on their resume.

the game has changed so dramatically in the past 10-15 years that i agree, head coaching experience is a certain prerequisite.
the artist formerly known as inbillywetrust
Wouldn't a huge amount of change be an argument that you don't necessarily need someone with lots of experience?
If it’s changed a ton, somebody new would have an easier time than if it was set in its old ways, no?
I am getting a kick out of how many Raider fans want Gruden back

the artist formerly known as inbillywetrust
I think he'll be back within 2 years but not with the Raiders
He’ll want big money and a GM that will do what he wants like he had in Tampa with Bruce Allen.

That's true although since we have Palmer we'd only need him to work well with a vet.
I’ve just always liked him and he’s a Walsh guy which is big in my book.
But seriously, folks....
Yep....part of the reason why is that they coached their coaches as well as their players.
In my mind Walsh is the most important football thinker since Paul Brown and it’s not a surprise he worked for him for years.
But seriously, folks....
steve young has said that if bill walsh wanted to be the best defensive coordinator vs offensive mind, he would have been. walsh revolutionized everything about the modern football game...diet, hydration, practice, etc... a truly amazing man.

I agree
and the book he wrote with Brian Billick is one of my favorite books on teaching and coaching ever.

Games this weekend
Saints over 49ers…sorry Oz…..Pats over the Tebows….sorry Jesus…..Packers over Giants…sorry New Jersey……Ravens over Texans…..sorry BBQ eaters.
But seriously, folks....
wow, i disagree on 3 of 4...only that ravens beat texans.
the artist formerly known as inbillywetrust
niners score more points at home than saints score on the road. the saints offense is worse on grass. we'll see. actually i won't be watching the game, so i'll have to read about it. sigh
the artist formerly known as inbillywetrust
I'll miss it too. I'm super-pissed.
The other problem for the Saints is that their defense kinda sucks.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
detroit dropped how many INTs? they coulda won in NO. it's a winnable game for the niners.
the artist formerly known as inbillywetrust
I also think that Alex Smith will be able to burn the Saints D when they blitz.
And I think they’ll blitz a lot.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
Two things you can count on with the Saints
Lots of throws and lots of blitzing.
But seriously, folks....
Yep.
ANd they’ve been burned a lot. I think they’ve given up more 40+ yard pass plays than any other defense.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
I'd love to see the 49ers use screen passes to get Gore the ball with some room to run.
He’ll torch them in the open field, but it seems like Harbaugh doesn’t like to throw to his backs much.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
If I'm the 49ers I pound the ball and snap with only 1 second on the clock
and try and keep the Saints O off the field and shorten the game.
But seriously, folks....
Yeah, I'd definitely try to hold the ball for as long as possible.
But I’d also use a lot of play action and some screens and quick slants to try to beat their blitzes.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
Play action would be set up by the runs hopefully
Perfect would be 40 minutes with the ball and a 65-35 run pass split and a 17-14 win.
But seriously, folks....
The 49ers have run the ball so much, and so successfully, all year that the play action is all but set up already.
I mean if you’re a LB and you think you see Frank Gore getting the ball, you have to go after him. You have to make Gore a non-factor and force Alex Smith to beat you.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
You think the Packers will lose to the Giants?
Sorry, I just don’t see it.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
Score predictions:
Pats, 38-13
Ravens, 24-9
Packers, 35-21
SF, 17-13
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
i think the giants are peaking exactly right. especially on defense.
the artist formerly known as inbillywetrust
Fair enough.
The Pack just feels like a team of destiny to me. I don’t think anyone is going to stop them.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
Oldham will be cussing a blue streak.
He hates offense.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
Oh, and someone will get to 42 by the half in that game.

I agree with all except the 49ers.
NO has a good offense, but they’re not nearly as dynamic on the road and the 49ers defense is really amazing. When your biggest weakness is a secondary that led the league in interceptions, you’re doing something right.

Pretty good.
Tried exercising yesterday. It wasn’t pretty, and physically I feel like shit today. But mentally, I feel great and I’m planning to keep it going.
"The Lord has blessed us with birthday cake!"
I tried to run yesterday.
I’m a little sore today and I slept like the dead last night.

My girl was doing great until this week.....it's been a rough one
Miss Hawaii took her in today and she’s fine so just a bout of being an infant I guess.

I came to Arkansas for a woman and stayed for the roadkill
I was a California boy who met an Oklahoma girl in Kansas and then moved to Arkansas before trying to move to North Carolina which lead me to marry a Hawaiian girl and move her back to Arkansas.

It's too bad there isn't a Chez Nico this weekend.....that would be a lot of fun.
But seriously, folks....
I came to work to see my aunt, who is a patient still. (she's pissed she isn't dead yet.)
They asked me to stay around and work a night shift. I did. Now I have someone working a few hours for me in the morning, then I’m coming back in to finish my 16 hour shift. I can do this.
Hang in there.

So there's this funny SFGate blog post about
the 2012 Oakland A’s calendar.
Stunningly, the one Oakland A who will certainly stick with the team through 2012 is not on the calendar. Apparently the scorching June 7 major league debut of Jemile Weeks was too late for deadline. In retrospect, the safest move would have been to make the entire calendar about Jemile Weeks. Jemile Weeks hitting. Jemile Weeks fielding. Jemile Weeks buying a Sprite at the vending machine …
I think I could create a “12 months of tears” calendar, showing 12 players the A’s have traded or failed to sign.

So you are going to put your penis extension on the tray?
Just don’t serve her sausage or bacon…. because she might confuse the sausage and your extension, and NOTHING wins over bacon.
This is the conversation my mom, dad, and I had over dinner:
Mom: I got a raise today.
Me: Really? Any reason why?
Mom: They said I was versatile.
Me: So you can use your hands and your mouth?
Which is saying something,
because I once had to explain to her that my boss really didn’t have a son named Ben Dover.
