DLD 1/03/07 - The Milledge Idiot
Hey, I'm 2000 lbs. of simple. I don't know anything about all the trade speculation and stats going on around here regarding the Mets' Lastings Milledge. But what does the kid look like? Here's a picture. I think he'd look good in green 'n gold.
Also, Bruce Jenkins thinks Barry Zito will be a good fit for the NL but this had me scratching my head:
People have questioned Zito's ability to finish games, but they should take into account the A's obsession with pitch counts. How many times did fans scream at the television set, imploring manager Ken Macha to leave him in the game? If Zito is suddenly getting lit up on the fastball, that's one thing, but if it's a matter of 106 pitches, relax. Let him go another inning or two. His arm can take it.I screamed at the TV set, too. But I was imploring Macha to take Zito out of the game.
In other news, scientists have discovered a new species of shark.
"They've been on their own branch of the evolutionary tree since well before the dinosaurs."They're attempting to see whether Scott Boras is somehow related.
And ever get that nagging feeling something's not quite right with your horse? If you're in the Bay Area race him to the vet. He may have equine herpes.
Listen to me now but hear me later.
It's time to "DUMP YOU UP!"

re
blanton
"Also, the San Francisco Chronicle reported on Sunday that the A's are "likely" to send righty Joe Blanton to the Mets for Lastings Milledge."
first we had something like "among the names mentioned was blanton"
then ratto with "blanton likely going to the mets"
and now ratto is the chronicle reporting a likely deal.
i'm reminded of an old dilbert comic from like 6-8 years go:
some idiot says "i don't know, it could be anywhere from one to a million"
next guy says "it could be up to a million"
finally "experts say one million"
Who would you rather have?
or

good article about Kendall
It will be interesting to see what happens, but if he can be signed on the cheap, I think it would be worth it. He could mentor Suzuki, in addition to his excellent relationship with the pitching staff, especially if Billy adds another uber SP prospect to the mix.
You never know what to think when players say things like this, we've been burned before.
easy to say it's not about the money
pfffff
The conversation usually goes like this
Billy: That is such a wonderful sentiment, I'll call payroll (picks up phone
FA: (hangs up phone) I said if I had to. I have a $12 Million dollar contract for this year, so I don't have to.
Billy: Ok let's sign next years contract for free.
FA: I'll get back to you on that.
Off Season comes, FA signs with KC Royals for $225 Million dollars, and proceeds to compliment the Royals front office, and commitment to winning.

DT Johnson had guns, drugs throughout home
GURNEE, Ill. -- Police seized about 550 rounds of ammunition from the home of Chicago Bears defensive tackle Tank Johnson during a raid last month, according to new court documents.

chronicle article on "thug of the year"
"A semiautomatic rifle with 10 live rounds in the master bedroom, a loaded .45 caliber handgun under a leather chair in the basement, four other unloaded rifles and handguns and between 300-350 rounds of ammunition in a utility closet."
by itself, the ammo doesn't mean much. most people who go shooting at a range have that much.
but loaded guns stashed under chairs and throughout the house, three arrests in 18 months and nightclub shootings...

sf chronicle gossip section
Pamela Anderson reportedly has found love again just weeks after splitting from Kid Rock -- this time with actor and former Hell's Angel Chuck Zito.
Anderson and the one-time "Oz" star were photographed kissing and canoodling at a New Year's Eve party in Las Vegas.
A source says, "They were nuzzling one another and had a long-lasting kiss at midnight."

This is classic.
Awesome.

Which will happen first:
- Zito's pitch count is 100+ after 5 innings and his spot in the batting order comes up with a runner in scoring position. What does Boche do?
- Zito retires the first eight batters then walks the pitcher and gives a a HR after realizing that he needs to "attack the zone"
- Boche realizes that his #1 is Cain and he has to bite his tongue
