Here’s to hoping Jarrod can keep it in the park this afternoon, he does, we have a chance.
K’s Beltre and strands a leadoff double, like it.
Fox guys in the TV booth are mostly complimentary  in their opinions of the A’s today, weird.
Apparently you needed a ‘special ticket’ to get the Zubaz giveaway, anyone else think that’s a crock?
6 A’s runz M O J O !
So I was at the SABR convention in Philly this weekend. And actually, the A’s seemed pretty well-represented. Someone had a poster about the great teams of the early ’70s, of course devoting a lot of space to the A’s. Also saw more than a few Oakland jerseys.
Cool. What were the main topics?
How Danbot is dead wrong about cheesesteaks vs. hamburgers.
HAH. Seriously, dude. I mean, they’re tasty. Absolutely. But for a signature dish from a major American city? Come on now. Philly can do better.
I’m sticking with my original point. Philly cheesesteaks are just lengthwise cheeseburgers.
You should check this out:
http://articles.latimes.com/2011/jul/25/news/la-trb-philadelphia-cheesesteak-pats-genos-07201125
Apparently theirs aren’t even all that great.
Maybe that’s it. But seriously, this paragraph says it all:
THOSE are signature city foods. A cheesesteak barely counts.
Did you eat at Pat’s or Geno’s?
Neither. A stand at the Reading Terminal Market, which was right next to the Mariott that the convention was in. Only had an hour to grab a bite before the next panel. I’ll make it out to either Pat’s or Geno’s for sure one of these days, though.
I haven’t been to either, but at least I now know how to order without looking like a complete tourist.
I’ll just put this here:
/drools
No, no, no, no, no.
See, that looks delicious. But the “traditional” Philly cheesesteak is just steak, onions, and orange cheez whiz from a spray can. I’m not saying all cheesesteaks are boring and bland. Just that Philly doesn’t do it right.
Yeah, fuck Cheez Whiz.
I used to use provolone but I think I’ll make these with havarti going forward.
Actually, I want to try them with some white American cheese. Apparently it’s considerably different from the typical American cheese.
I like white deli American for certain applications, usually to top burgers on the bbq
I did a little more reading about it and some say there’s no difference. Others say there can be depending on the quality of the cheese itself.
All I know is I’m used to white American cheese on the stuff I’ve had at local cheesesteak shops.
I’m pretty sure the only reason I like it is because it’s a tolerable version of the plastic-wrapped plastic I loved as a child and loathe now.
MURICAN.
havarti’s a good one for melting on meat.
It definitely doesn’t burn on immediate contact with the grill.
I guess, though when in Rome…
When in Rome make sure you have a take that doesn’t suck…and now more of the same shtick I’ve been doing since 1994.
…bugger little boys?
No, wait.
And that tasted AWESOME.
the whiz thing is an on-going disagreement between Geno’s and Pat’s. One uses it the other doesn’t.
Well, the one I had today had provolone, so oh hell, why not. I’ll give the whiz a shot next time. Maybe it works magic. Who knows.
The more I’ve used provolone, it just seems too bland to me.
Yeah, it’s a really mild cheese. And when you’re using it with fried steak and onions, it just disappears.
That’s the problem I have with it, yep. I can be very picky with cheese, though.
I don’t think I’ve ever had a Philly Cheesesteak or a frontal lobotomy…I’m not sure though.
Pats and Genos are overrated. Jim’s is the best.
Terrible call. The cheesesteak is a rare and beautiful thing when done right.
Though Philly has plenty of other great food too. And water ice.
hello, it’s called a grinder. :P
Not hard to tell what it is in Louisiana. Not sure about Utah, though.
I’m sure there’s a polygamy joke to be made somehow here.
In Utah, grinding is strictly forbidden.
BOOM CONSERVATIVE SEXUAL MORES JOKE

Hey you!
hello, dear one!
How’s it going?
great! we miss you! i just saw that you sent me a note; i will write back soonest. <3
All he sent me was a death thread…again.
those damn death threads. they will kill us all.
No worries! Just nice to hear from you guys. It’s been a while. (Like usual. I gotta stop disappearing so much.)
(me too)
Well, I couldn’t make it to Thursday or Friday, but I’m told those days were more weighted towards the historical stuff. Today was a far younger crowd, and it had a more analytical bent. Media panel in the morning, with Jayson Stark, an MLB.com writer, and others. Some fairly interesting presentations later in the morning. And a statistical analysis panel in the afternoon with Bill Petti, Steve Mann, Brian Kenny, and Dick Cramer.
To be honest, it wasn’t anything groundbreaking, but hey, it was nice. Plus, I got to meet a bunch of media types. Rob Neyer, Brian Kenny, the Baseball Prospectus guys.
Good for you!
Things I’ve never said: So, I was at a SABR convention in Philly this weekend.
Things I’ve never said: If you want a biscuit you have to jump into lava.
Things I’ve never said: Sarah Jessica Parker is so hot.
Things I’ve never said: I probably shouldn’t post that on Free Kraut.
muahahahahah
Is this a lounge? Can I talk about VORP here or is this a serious place where people talk of their hopes and dreams for a better tomorrow?
I think I’ve slept about 12 hours since I got home from Hawaii…which means if I don’t get some sleep tonight I might start posting things that have nothing to do with baseball real soon.
If I was single I’d be out cruising the singles scene…which in Arkansas is at the Walmart Food Court.
I’m going to be 40 in October…I sure thought I’d be a Astronaut/Ouarterback/US Senator/Playgirl Pinup by now.
September for me, and Archaeologist/Corner Outfielder/Russian Prisoner.
My posts in this thread make more sense if you read them in the voice of Teller.
Edward Teller?
Like.
Thanks, and go As.
BARELY KNOW HER
I don’t know maybe I should try something new and talk about myself.
Hmm…it’s getting a little slow…okay, okay I’ll start posting my thoughts about the LPGA to spur discussion and drive traffic to freekraut.net.server5436789.1245wordpress.com.net.gov.edu.0U812@aol.icloud
And yes that link works.
Free Kraut hates MathLibs.
Flagged…email me after I break in my new goa…uh girlfriend.
No, Rod Stewart…you haven’t told me lately that you love me.
I haven’t been this alone since my prom night.
All by myself!
I had a steak the size of a tiny baby tonight. Moo.
I like to go up to cows and tell them their spouse was delicious.
“A human ate my baby!”
Heh…Meryl Streep will be playing the role soon.
I unrelated news, if I die tonight someone tell my mom I have been feeling ill all day.
Well, if you die at least your last meal was a big ass steak.
One of my favorite things to treat in the ER is steakhouse syndrome. Basically people get a chunk of steak caught in their throat. Most can breathe, they just can swallow saliva and liquids. Anyway, we start an IV and slam this drug in them. This drug is used for some totally other reason, but when you slam it in it makes the patient’s esophagus relax and they start to projectile vomit. If they don’t barf, we give them something fizzy to drink and they just swallow the meat. But the barging is almost instantaneous and amazing.
Note to self…make sure to chew your steak.
Also happens with potato chips. I actually first learned about this becauseour ER doc got a chip hung sideways in his throat. He oordered this treatment on himself.
I guess I better skip those Lays Chicken & Waffles potato chips then.
I have my review. They taste like an extra salt Lays and dropped it in syrup, picked it up, and wiped it off before putting it in the bag.
Jesus…what drug IS that?
Glucagon
Didn’t they tour with Gwar?
No. The Cuttlefish went solo and now he calls himself Glucagon.
When it comes to jobs I kind of have a five year itch…my other itch is just the crabs.
What kinda job we talking about? Could be how you got crabs.
Hmm…yeah, I guess I should stop trickin’ at truck stops…five years is long enough.
38 years ago today The Ballroom Blitz took down Poland.
Little known fact…The Moon isn’t made out of cheese, it’s made out of Velveeta.
It was my mom’s birthday a few weeks back…I gave her a call and she told me how she was in labor for 47 hours with me and that she only had me to sell me to a family in Panama. On a nicer note she did say I was her second favorite child which as an only child is a nice thing to hear.
I better slow down on this ice water with lemon I’ve been drinking all day…shit goes straight to my head.
And remember on the Jennifer & Brian Radio Show if the songs are cool then Jennifer picked them…when we play Mr. Mister that was all Brian.
So any advice on baby names? I was thinking Bob if it’s a boy and Geren if it’s a girl.
ed and edwina
That seems very ed-centric.
Khaleesi.
No, not really.
I can’t say I’ve ever heard that name before…it’s still better than naming a kid Ed though.
It’s becoming popular from Game of Thrones.
Oh okay…I haven’t watched that show yet.
The other thing is it’s not even a name. It’s a title.
http://gameofthrones.wikia.com/wiki/Khaleesi
I’ve heard it’s a good show but that genre isn’t normally my thing.
People name their children Prince and Princess so…
Or APPOLLO THE FIRST ACEVES.
That’s just wonderful.
Awesome
The Nelsons of Minneapolis would disagree with that statement. (although he was actually named after a group…)
Disregard, stop reading extra words into comments, Aces.
khalil is popular
We’re using family names…Khalil isn’t on the list…at least as far as I know.
Edward is though.
my mom calls me Khalil
So you’re saying Ed has a chance.
But that’s a title, not a name. Daenerys is her name, which I think is actually pretty cool.
that’s my name, too…
whenever we go out, the people always shout…huh?
yes, but the ringing in her ears prevents her from hearing the shouts
http://www.webpronews.com/khaleesi-is-now-a-trending-baby-name-2013-06
My point still stands.
Mine elsewhere on this thread does too. Prince, Princess, both names used for names as well.
My points are irrelevant no matter where they’re posted.
Yoenessa and D’Brickashaw
Impreza
Aztek
Nova
Maxima
Pacer
Datsun.
i vote for pacer. pace is a fabulous nickname, worthy of fantasy novels.
(insert shitty car name here)
JaMarcus.
hey, hey, hey. We were just joking around here. No reason to get mean.
My friends just named their daughter Penny Lane
Thanks, and go As.
is in my ears and in my eyes.
Penelope was on the short list for us
Amelie is on the rise around here
Pebbles if it’s a girl, Bam Bam if it’s a boy.
So this thread was posted by Brian.only and so far it’s only been a Brian whose posting. Makes sense to me.
What would I do for a Klondike Bar? Pay $2.98 for six of them at Walmart.
I have a beard…I haven’t cut my hair in months…All I need now is to start driving a Subaru and people are going to think I’m a damn Democrat and that shit is illegal in Arkansas.
Those are good cars. If we hadn’t decided to spring for a hybrid, we’d have landed in an Impreza
I don’t like good cars…I drive Fords.
If it had come out in time, we might well have driven off in a C-Max instead of a Prius
I actually love my Mustang…my wife likes her Explorer…I’m kinda meh on it.
Well, now, now, it’s not like you drive a Saturn or something.
I’ll save the Saturn for when I live someplace cool like Mississippi.
Ugh – You just made me think of my 2001 LW-300.
(imagines doctorK proudly pulling into the company parking lot in his new ride, only to be laughed at derisively by his co-workers)
It actually was a nice car – it drove well with decent power, and had possibly the best cruise control I’ve ever had, and a far superior to my previous car, a ’93 Taurus wagon. The problem was that it had many, many failures which cost me a crapload of money. There was a design flaw with that model which caused it to eat tires like candy, which I did not find out about until I took the car to a Wheel Works shop instead of the dealer for its third set of tires at 36000 miles. I also had to replace the radiator twice, a transmission solenoid once (labor = $1900), and the alternator after the dealer told me the problem was with the after-market battery I had put in the car (Saturn of Capitol Expressway – I hope the FKing asshole crook service manager is still unemployed, homeless, and possibly in prison).
Oh yeah, I had to dump the Taurus after the engine block CRACKED (it actually broke!) at 82000 miles.
The Fusion is a fantastic car.
Thanks, and go As.
read the thread, ed
my sister likes her fusion
One of the things I’m surprised by is that the tagline, It’s stupid on an essential level, was written before I got to Free Kraut.
As a moderate I don’t like French Fries or Freedom Fries.
This post was brought to you by the year 2003.
The best part of having a second kid is now I’ve doubled my chances that one of these kids will be successful enough to pay for my retirement plans.
Okay, so none of my posts have been funny…again. But at least you learned something about VORP tonight.
And now we check traffic and weather on the nines…it’s 9:18 pm in Arkansas…there is no traffic and it’s muggy.
Okay, it’s a good news bad news type thing…I’m running out of gas but I’m likely to return…just wait until I rip Fresno tomorrow!
Fresno: Slightly better than Stockton…maybe.
Fresno: All the prunes you can eat.
Obligatory
Fresno: A place to come to be regular.
Fresno: Like Modesto but without the glamour.
Fresno: Making Merced look sexy.
Fresno sounds like it should go on nachos.
Hmm…nachos with all those prunes…it’ll really be the most regular place on earth then.
We’re forward thinking here in Arkansas…when you have a baby you get a gun with the kid…if you have a child with your second cousin you get two guns.
I’m considering owning one again, actually.
Thanks, and go As.
A child?
No i still have 2 of those.
Thanks, and go As.
You keep them unloaded with their safeties on, right?
locked in a safe in the closet.
Thanks, and go As.
Good man!
‘cuz remember:
Children don’t kill people. Children kill people.
So now that we’re done with Archer I guess we’re going to try Louie next. I’m a Louie C.K. fan so I have high hopes. After that we’re going to watch all the good parts of the 19 years of Two and a Half Men…which should take at least 2-3 minutes.
Do you like Woody Allen? Because the only way I can really describe Louie is three parts Woody Allen, one part David Lynch. It’s sublime.
I love early Woody Allen…I love, love, loved Archer but I know Louie is more of a pseudo-comedy.
It’s definitely not a comedy in the Archer sense. I love Archer to pieces, but Louie is very, very much not that. It’s more of an observational sort of humor, but it’s also not afraid to go 15 minutes, or even rarely a whole episode, without anything even resembling a laugh. (Of course, it can also be uproariously funny.)
I’m kinda in love with this show. Doesn’t come back until next May, so you have plenty of time.
I knew it had shows that were basically straight drama…friends have been telling me for a couple years now it’s a show I’ll like.
Archer was basically the only thing we watched during the last two months in Hawaii…it’s my favorite thing ever now.
If you liked Archer, by the way, you might like Frisky Dingo. It was the show Adam Reed (the lone writer behind Archer) did before he struck it big with Archer. Fifteen minute episodes, and a more plot-heavy emphasis, but the plot is BANANAS.
I’ll look it up.
Please tell me you read Lana’s AMA on reddit???
Thanks, and go As.
Oh, of course. Hilarious lady.
Fresno: A place so special some jerk in Arkansas can’t stop posting about it.
i heard we were supposed to call it fresYES
As in fresYES that place has a lot of prunes.
I just freYESed in my pants.
lol
And prunes work their magic once again…fresYES they did!
teeheehee
sploosh.
Thanks, and go As.
I <3 you.
I know.
Thanks, and go As.
what about nuts?
I believe they prefer to be called crazy.
sometimes you feel like a nut…
Sometimes you feel a nut… and realize the guy next to isn’t wearning pants… again… Dad.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
and sometimes they tell me I’m a nut no matter how I feel about it.
So I figured at some point I have to jump in, right?
Id say raisins instead..hell, they sang about it in The Music Man.
Please kill FresYES.
And yeah, I get the preceptions. It is more conservative, it is stuck at a bottom of a bowl in a heavy ag area so the air is always bad. End of day it’s home and like any home you will find the best of it and enjoy it.
All that being said, keep the jokes flowing. I can add to it: the “epic” mini series with Carol Burnett and Dabney Coleman and our former mayor who played Bubba in In The Heat of the Night.
But it’s “right next to spectacular Yosemite!!” /McCarver
Flying into the glorious Fresno/Yosemite International (FAT) is on everyones airport bucket list…
I guess the worst part about my new job is I won’t feel all superior and smarter than everyone in the room which is odd since I have my own office.
if you make your office all dark and scary, they will respect you fearfully.
As long as I can take long lunches and a nap I’ll be happy.
This is very, very true.
If I tried to be dark and scary I think I’d mostly just get giggles in response.
let me do it for you.
I’ll probably just go with my normal plan and dazzle everyone with my dead sexiness.
bring on that old razzle-dazzle, bed!
Holy shit, what the fuck. Matt Garza is going off on Eric Sogard and Sogard’s wife on Twitter.
rampant misogyny.
also, touch our elf and die.
Seriously. “shut your woman up” and such.
it makes me insane.
Sounds like Mr. Garza is in for a world of hurt on multiple fronts…
I hope they bean him tomorrow. Not that it would be easy, but some of the best things in life are the most challenging.
The thing I’ll miss most about teaching is getting the chance to help the future leaders of tomorrow on their journey to an education…oh who am I kidding? I’ll miss the two months off in the summer the most.
I deserve a death threat for writing down death thread…in my defense I’m tired and not very bright.
The Oakland Raiders: You thought last year was bad.
The Oakland Raiders: We so rocked 1983!
The Oakland Raiders: At least JaMarcus isn’t still here.
The Oakland Raiders: Where shitty USC quarterbacks go to die.
The Oakland Raiders: Our best player is still our kicker.
Thanks, and go As.
At least it’s the placekicker. At Cal, one year things were so bad going into the season that we put our punter on the cover of the Media Guide.
I remember a “Harris for Heisman” banner.
Yes, it was Kyle Boller’s junior year. I’ve always felt bad for Boller; if he had been introduced to Jeff Tedford that season rather than a year later, and not been screwed with by Tom Holmoe’s staff for the extra year, he could have turned into something much better than he did.
Jeff Tedford, QB Fresno State. Everything is Fresno today.
I thought JT would be an NFL assistant this season, but as far as I know he’s taking sabbatical this season while he collects his Cal salary.
hey, Andy Lee was the Niners MVP for a couple years…
Thanks, and go As.
Exactly what I was thinking
And their new punter is probably one of the more prolific athletes on social media.
He’s not really that good, but Kluwe is pretty much awesome.
Also all over Reddit, and hilarious there
Thanks, and go As.
The Oakland Raiders: Norv Turner failed here too.
The Oakland Raiders: A new head coach every 18 months or your money back.
I don’t feel good…if I die somebody please tell Jennifer’s mom.
Dude. You and me. We just died in each others arms tonight.
Well, that sounds like a good way to go.
I probably smothered you.
That’s actually on my bucket list…the last entry.
Thanks, and go As.
In your dreams.
now i have that crappy song stuck in my head.
I’ll leave you with this…when two men say they’re Jesus one of them must be wrong.
Depends on how they pronounce it.
So apparently Garza is a little bitch.
HA!
The whole thing is weird. The whole sequence was such baseball conventional wisdom, so having him rant at all during the game seemed ridiculous. But now he’s going after Sogard’s wife and revealing his true, ugly colors?
Wow…
That’s the thing. Has he never seen anyone try to bunt in a runner from 3rd before? Or was he pissed because Keebs sac bunted twice? And has it ever crossed his mind that he still lost, even without that last run?
Hehe! Bad facial hair as an indicator of a terrible personality?
OMG OMG OMG Jesse Chavez is so fking CUTE!
I didn’t want to comment on FB, but I saw the picture there with him and wacchampions, and I was all like, “Who’s that cute butch chick standing next to B. and Neshek?” and then my jaw dropped. Androgynous yum yum awesomeness!
This made me laugh out loud. Thanks, Kay.
You laugh cause it’s true.
I don’t know which city to go after next…all I know is those bastards in Topeka have it coming.
Stuttgart, you have one close, too
Stuttgart: It’s like (insert German city here) but (insert something about losing World War II here)
Goose Creek, SC. That place is terrible.
It’s all a little hazy and I can’t be sure what happened but I woke up this morning and my dog and I were basically spooning.
Sand Kraut…well, that’s random.
I don’t want to get all political here…but I’m pretty sure Fruit Loops have no actual fruit in them.
damn right it’s political. those republicans have been abusing the fruit loophole for years.
There’s no crying in Foosball.
Tiger Woods must be the only golfer ever who could be going for his 5th win this season and yet some genius sportswriters will write he’s no longer any good.
Home at last.
One upside of being away for a couple of weeks is that it gave the various brews I have going time to do their thing without me meddling with them prematurely.
The Dogfish Head 60min clone is now 2 weeks in the bottle, so I stuck one in the fridge as soon as I got home last night and tried it a few hours later and it was good. Needs to carb up a bit (the low temperature here hasn’t helped), but the flavour is shaping up to be my best yet.
I also dry-hopped the Racer 5 clone this morning, and the FG sample I drew is also tasting very nice.
Yay beer!
Woo, success!
I have a Dogfish Head t-shirt. Don’t know if that helps.

I think they’ll be fine
From CBS Fantasy blurb:
Ahem, Adam Rosales?
snerk.
I am sorry, but if the team did not learn about it till monday, they are 1)negligent, 2) idiots, 3) delusional fro not expecting it. what is there to gain for nelson cruz, a free agent at the end of the year, for appealing the inevitable? plays a few games in august? then is suspended at the beginning of the year with his new team? the rangers could have:
Signed him to a deal for next year and therefore given him the option of playing through an appeal
tried harder to get stanton, which would have been better for them than garza
those are off the top of my head
Well, it may also have been 4) Cruz not making up his mind and/or telling them otherwise until this morning.
any multi thousand dollar operation should have contingencies in place for all possibilities. It shouldn’t matter what he decides, or when he did it.
Well, yeah, but that’s an entirely different topic altogether.
Nah. If they couldn’t figure 3) out, then they are 2).
Well, it certainly sounds like they were planning on him being gone, but didn’t know for sure and hoped that he wouldn’t. Jumping to the conclusion that just because they thought (hoped?) that he would be available for a little longer isn’t the same as not planning for him being gone.
I think Cruz changed his mind as a result of all of the helpful advice he heard from Oakland fans about fishing, golfing, and good books to put on his library list.
“The team tried, but failed”
P.S. The Rangers DFA’d Rosales today. He could be a Rivercat again right quick.
bet he feels bad about rooting for them for the weekend.
see? ok. here’s what i’ve been thinking… that PU off waivers was basically a playground slap. like billy is so proud of his yo-yo that he keeps using to move players up and down of *some-to-slight* consequence to the team if timed right. and here comes texas with like a basketball or a pogo stick or a garza (please remember a lot of us wanted him before the keebs thing) or something that actually costs money and looks like big fun, and they take the yo-yo out of billy’s hands, immediately throw it on the ground, pogo all over it, and they tell billy he can’t play with his little toy anymore. they had no interest in the yo-yo. luckily they’re no good at pogo and they’ll end up with busted teeth or something.
So they pretty much picked him up so we couldn’t use him for the series against them? Thanks I guess?
Heh. Bastardo!
of the names, Braun stands out for something…I am not sure what its is? can’t quite put my dedo on it.
and before anyone makes a point like calcatera about don’t group them this way, I am not blaming players, I am citing a profound failure of investigation. this strikes me as odd.
Not sure what you talking about?
All the players other than Braun are Latino.
Strange. Didn’t even notice that. It makes sense to a degree. It’s south Florida which has high Latino base and is close to the where most are from. In the context of failure of investigation, I’m not so sure I agree with that. They were only looking at Biogenesis and it’s really only a matter of who they (the company) dealt with. It does raise a HUGE red flag that the drug testing didn’t catch most of them and it makes you wonder where those who are using who are not from a place based out of Florida got theirs.
they weren’t looking at biogenesis. they were forced to deal with it because it was in the paper.
its a stretch to believe that an alt weekly (like the 4 SLF has worked for as a reporter) can find out that kind of information and and MLB with its millions of dollars and minions can’t.
it stinks of “hey, lets get two big fish an with a bunch of scotties red shirted dominicans and yay us! we too ACTION!”
It’s not like they can investigate every drug company and business like that for player involvement. And it wasn’t investigative journalism that uncovered this, someone at Biogenesis leaked the info to a paper. That’s pretty much the only way anyone’s going to know about it. I suppose they could put a million dollar offer out there for anyone who has credible evidence, etc. But really, your complaint is basically “they aren’t acting enough” without specifying what specifically you think they can actually do. Should they sue every company in the world in an effort to find information?
they certainly can’t sue every clinic in the world.
The can investigate. They didn’t in this case. they went into damage control and suspended a dozen players without a failed drug test.
I am not sure what the CBA says, but obviously there is some sort of medical waiver. they can investigate your aderal prescription and such. I don’t know how far that goes, but it would be the first thing I try to get out of the union to budge on that, rather than tougher sanctions.
don’t teams have to give approval for outside doctors? or some such nonsense? what regulations are there on streght and conditioning coaches?
There is a lot of investigave options open to them and their subsidiary organizations.
They have to go to approved doctors. It was very clearly on the sly since the names were changed/hidden. If you’re getting PEDs, you’re going to go out of your way not do so in an obvious way. In other words, the rules don’t matter, if you’re taking PEDs, you’re already more than willing to circumvent those rules too. I’m not sure why you keep saying they didn’t investigate when they did. Not before someone came forward, but they certainly did act on it when they were notified the evidence existed.
if they have to go to approved Drs. then there must be a waiver, otherwise, they can go to whatever Dr. they want.
they have 1000 people under their contract. its not that hard to investigate when you have millions of dollars to waste.
clerical mistake
buttle buttle tuttle::brown brown braun
I am talking about race.
the suspended players dominican, dominican, dominican, venusuelan, dominican, dominican, nicaraguan, dominican, dominican, venezuelan, dominican, dominican, Rodriguez* and bruan.
Not saying being dominican is a problem or have a greater penchant for PEDs (which I don’t really have an objection to). But saying the league is busitng a lot of fringy people that come from the same place and we aren’t looking at US born players
*I know ROdriguez’ backstory
See above, I think race in this case is more a factor of association with Biogenesis than it is where MLB chose to investigate. If a newspaper uncovered Balco today, I’m sure you’d be seeing Giambi, Clemons, Bonds, etc. pop up there too.
I agree that race was not a motivator
Hey, Dan Myer, remember when you got traded for Tim Hudson and were hurt and didn’t say shit and fucked your career? Thx alot.
Thanks, and go As.
heh
What a bastard.
Oh.
Also:
I have less and less tolerance for people on twitter these days.
How about DON’T SAY DUMB THINGS and then you’re not going to have to retract and backpedal.
Thanks, and go As.
I wonder how successful you will be long term as Chairman of the Get People to Say Less Stupid Shit Campaign.
I would say that’s a doomed campaign.
What does that job pay?
Thanks, and go As.
Depends how much you fundraise. Probably should start up a collection on twitter.
Paid on commission — you get a dollar every time some dumbass keeps his mouth shut. So it doesn’t pay very well, basically.
I volunteer to be a paid member of the Blue Ribbon Committee tasked to finding this out.
SeeEmail me in 2016.Thanks, and go As.
Fixed.
Here’s the solution. Stay off twitter. Hey, funny how that solves that problem. I get tired of people complaining about stupid people on twitter who follow stupid people on twitter.
Speaking of which, how does one go about getting stupid people on twitter to follow them?
Naked pictures of Kardashians.
tweet at them
I’m already following you.
hahaha…
I’m not going to tweet out Bed’s tweets from my account; I’m going to start a separate account for them, and then use my own account for the “straight man” parts of 1-2 punch jokes.
I’m just a little worried about what to do if this thing goes viral to even a fraction of the extent of Old Hoss Radbourn or DadBoner… I don’t want to take credit for someone else’s work, but I don’t want some dumbass nerd on Reddit with nothing better to do to find Free Kraut or Bed, either.
Maybe tweeting Bed’s greatest hits is a bad idea…
I think it needs all of us to retweet.
