Saturday Zupocalypse 323

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.

        • danmerqury Aug 3,2013 3:32 pm || Up

          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.

          • JamesV Aug 3,2013 3:34 pm || Up

            You should check this out:

            Apparently theirs aren’t even all that great.

            • danmerqury Aug 3,2013 3:39 pm || Up

              Maybe that’s it. But seriously, this paragraph says it all:

              Lots of places have signature foods: Chicago has deep-dish pizza, New England has clam chowder, Buffalo, N.Y., has hot wings, Maryland has crab cakes and New Orleans has gumbo.

              THOSE are signature city foods. A cheesesteak barely counts.

              • JamesV Aug 3,2013 3:44 pm || Up

                Did you eat at Pat’s or Geno’s?

                • danmerqury Aug 3,2013 3:47 pm || Up

                  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.

                • JamesV Aug 3,2013 3:51 pm || Up

                  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:

                  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.

                • JamesV Aug 3,2013 3:56 pm || Up

                  Yeah, fuck Cheez Whiz.

                  I used to use provolone but I think I’ll make these with havarti going forward.

                • JamesV Aug 3,2013 4:02 pm || Up

                  Actually, I want to try them with some white American cheese. Apparently it’s considerably different from the typical American cheese.

                • Kay Aug 3,2013 4:06 pm || Up

                  I like white deli American for certain applications, usually to top burgers on the bbq

                • JamesV Aug 3,2013 4:09 pm || Up

                  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.

                • Kay Aug 3,2013 5:02 pm || Up

                  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.

                  the whiz thing is an on-going disagreement between Geno’s and Pat’s. One uses it the other doesn’t.

                • danmerqury Aug 3,2013 4:02 pm || Up

                  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.

                • JamesV Aug 3,2013 4:03 pm || Up

                  The more I’ve used provolone, it just seems too bland to me.

                • danmerqury Aug 3,2013 4:06 pm || Up

                  Yeah, it’s a really mild cheese. And when you’re using it with fried steak and onions, it just disappears.

            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.

        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.

          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.

                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.

    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.

      • Bed Aug 3,2013 7:46 pm || Up

        I love early Woody Allen…I love, love, loved Archer but I know Louie is more of a pseudo-comedy.

        But seriously, folks....
        • danmerqury Aug 3,2013 7:51 pm || Up

          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.

          • Bed Aug 3,2013 7:54 pm || Up

            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.

            • danmerqury Aug 3,2013 7:56 pm || Up

              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.

    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!

        From CBS Fantasy blurb:

        The team did not learn about Cruz’s decision to accept the ban until Monday morning, just hours before the suspensions were set to be announced. While not stated directly, it was implied that the club thought Cruz might challenge the ruling, and would be eligible to play until an arbitration made a ruling on the case. The team tried, but failed, to bring in another bat at the trade deadline to attempt to cover in case Cruz was suspended.

        Ahem, Adam Rosales?

          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

                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.

            • Englishmajor Aug 5,2013 3:28 pm || Up

            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.

            • dmoas Aug 5,2013 11:14 am || Up

              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.

              • Future Ed Aug 5,2013 11:21 am || Up

                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!”

                I have $5. No I don\'t.
                • dmoas Aug 5,2013 5:54 pm || Up

                  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?

                • Future Ed Aug 5,2013 6:13 pm || Up

                  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.

                  I have $5. No I don\'t.
                • dmoas Aug 6,2013 9:57 pm || Up

                  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.

                • Future Ed Aug 7,2013 4:42 am || Up

                  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.

            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

            • dmoas Aug 5,2013 11:18 am || Up

              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.
