    More to love about Braden:

    “[Betting Everidge] looks like someone trying to smuggle the two largest kegs into a building under his T-shirt,” A’s starter Dallas Braden said. “He’s a house. A one-story house, maybe, but a house.”

      Post of the year:

      Players obsessed with walking to drive their OBP up. That’s fine if you have decent hitters who can put the ball in play to drive them in. We don’t an abundance of decent hitters because the one’s we have, like to back their way on base. If the pitch is there, HIT IT. Not take a meatball and get behind in the count. If there are runners on, you have to be aggressive. Our players are poisoned by this OBP obsession. The walk, walk and 3 run homer approach does not work with the personal we have.

        For players obsessed with OBP, they sure suck at getting on base.

      Might be Nico. He’s hit me/us with several “If it weren’t for the Giants, I wouldn’t be making it through this baseball season.”

      ….wait, should he be “(*)*ico” ?

        I believe the shorthand of choice is “Napoleon” for reasons I can guess at but don’t actually know (having not, of course, been privy to the insider story of his takeover).

          Speaking of, can we have that now? Has enough time passed?

      It’s hard to imagine somebody wanting to imitate Ann Coulter, but I guess there’s a market. CWAA.

      Can “What does that title mean?” be considered a comment?

    I’ll cop to it: I resemble that remark.

    Such people have a certain cognitive style, which is a polite way of saying they’re prone to delusional bouts of hyper-rational craziness

    We aren’t the party of no ideas!!!

    We believe that a tax cut and unspecified spending reductions will solve the healthcare issue!

    For someone who was defending the NYT as recently as yesterday, this is a slap in the face.
