Why Not 35

I decided to list the A’s young players and prospects in order of age. If I know you, and I think I do, I know that you can’t get enough lists. First, an introductory bonus list of tastiest greens: 1. beet greens 2. kale Now then: Kilby: 2/83 Marshall: 2/83 Patterson: 4/83 Everidge: 4/83 Braden: ...

Squarely on the backs of libertines: DLD 063009 50

If the A’s were playing better, I could see Beane targeting this guy. Heck, even as-is, he’d be a good buy-low/sell-high-next-year acq. Chad Gaudin is still talented. Well, yeah, but … (avoids reconsidering Harden trade yet again) This is exactly what I want to see Beane/Forst saying to other teams/the media right now: The Cardinals ...

Game Thoughts 15

1. Anderson was throwing mostly 96-97 in the first inning. 2. Kennedy is wearing stirrups. I think that means Outman died on the surgery table. 3. The Tigers unis are pure class. I’m rooting for them in the AL.

They’re not booing, they’re saying boo-eane! boo-eane! … DLD 6-29 50

I haven’t looked at box scores all weekend so I don’t even know who the A’s have been playing, but I have read a little about their own beloved radio announcer turning on them.  So the question is–will Korach be called into the boss’ office for a little chat after his recent outburst, which I ...

I’ll sell you Crosby and Hannahan for $2 each. For $3 you can have ’em both. 3

I’m sitting in my driveway, listening to the pre-game and reading the Chron Sunday Green sportspage as I fill the proprieter role for my little slice of the annual neighborhood garage sale. I have successfully gotten rid of an obstreporous 60 pound analog TV and a cubic yard or so of accumulated crappy kid toys ...

Outman——>Alabama to see Dr. James Andrews 5

That is where Devine went….

Why The Fuck 4

would you PH Nomar for Barton against a RHP with Hannahan on deck? And then have Crosby followed by Hannahan in the 9th… What the fuck… dude. Why is Buck in AAA? what is going on. I don’t care that much if they win at this point, but come on… Street hasn’t thrown that hard ...

JP is great: DLD 062609 37

“JP is great”? Yeesh — if this snippet is legit, I cxan see why they put it in turnaround. More legit-news-source detail. I agree: JP is great! I have no basis on which to asses this Not that that’s ever stopped me before: This is a trend, people. When the [particular MLB team med/training staff] ...

F(il)K: Pulling Muscles on DL 11

[Original lyrics here.] (Anyone else think Glenn Tillbrook from around the time of this video looks a lot like Michael Lewis?) Pulling Muscles on DL They do it down at Papago Park They’d do it on the Wii Fit Lazing about the bench all day-to-day, At night the Coli’s empty Squealing seagulls answer vendors’ cries ...

Pop fly: the Bobby Crosby Story, or DLD062509 39

1. O_o Blame Poppy (I) Blame Poppy (II) (but who are Bright and Colorful and Preposterous?) Grover: “men who oppose federal spending at the local level are irresistible to women” This would probably be legal in Lancaster (but only if she was wearing buttons) What? No Castro? I … just … whoa. Not sure what ...
