Condiment Bar: 4/17/09 86

Vlad’s
tits hurt.

Manager Mike Scioscia said an MRI Thursday revealed a strained pectoral muscle. The 34-year-old
Guerrero was to fly to Los Angeles to see team orthopedist Dr. Lewis Yocum on Friday.

Oh man, the dreaded Lewis Yocum.  You know what comes next:  Tommy
John
Jenna Jameson surgery.

So I’m juvenile.  Sue me.  I’m sick of staring at this f—ing thesis.  Like the last five years of my life are
worth spilling over a 100 pages of electronic ink.  Nobody’s going to read this s— anyway.  Boobies.]]

    Oh, the dreaded thesis
    malaise. You have my deepest sympathy, salb.

    Monkey,

    Did you get those settings changed?

    Sal, if you post your thesis on to
    [edit: sigh] Free Kraut, I promise

    a) to read it, in full
    b) not to comprehend a single word of it
    c) pretend I totally got it
    d) shower you with (necessarily, see b) vague but cosmetically convincing accolades

    This is a pretty fun tool. Start in May or so, drag
    slowly to September, see the A’s line flatten and flatten … and flatten.

    Monkey, there’s been talk of you forgetting to file your
    TPS reports?

    Few things make me happier than when the right wing talk
    radio crowd chooses terminology which turns out to be a long-standing euphemism for a gay sex act. As seen most
    recently with teabagging.

    I heart John Waters. He strikes me as significantly
    more cuddly than PT. Not that we have create a cuddly hierarchy of antisocial A’s-related bloggers and cult-film
    directors…

    Pretty picture, which apparently represents the shocking (to me) new claim in this article that, because “you can’t explain the spin or decay of particles by randomness, nor are they determined, so free will is the only option left.”

    Some readers may object to our use of the term “free will” to describe the indeterminism of particle responses. Our provocative ascription of free will to elementary particles is deliberate, since our theorem asserts that if experimenters have a certain freedom, then particles have exactly the same kind of freedom. Indeed, it is natural to suppose that this latter freedom is the ultimate explanation of our own.

    Do I understand correctly that the new Yankee Stadium
    has a farmers market?

  16. mikeA Apr 17,2009 1:02 pm

    uh oh
    I bet Gallagher would also be on there if he was starting….

    This steadfastly ignores
    perhaps the gravest possible outcome of this “research”: any army of mutant, rejuvenated 40-foot-tall Lincolns
    menacing the countryside.
