I still haven’t found the fridge key to bust out any fresh links, but I did find this thing in the deep cellar. It’s got a lot of preservatives in it; Maybe it’s still good.

When I was living in grad school, one of my roommates played some rec-league hockey. He usually drove to and from games, so hopefully he wasn’t getting too obliterated.
I wasn’t wearing my glasses when the page loaded, so the first frame it shows before you play the video made me think that he ruptured a testicle or something. Darn.

Good. I kind of like their idea of the rotated ump and would probably prefer only disputed calls be overturned instead of simply stepping in, but this is perfectly fine. Now if only they would computerize balls & strikes.
Saw him in spring training. If he’d stuck at first base, I wouldn’t want to be Cliff Pennington trying to turn a 1-6-3. He throws really hard, especially for a lefty.
Good. He ain’t getting any younger. If he kicks a little ass in Sac, bring’im up in July.

He was a 1B/RF and seemed like a decent position player prospect until getting hurt in 2009 and then missing all of 2010. They decided that his repaired knees weren’t going to allow him to continue as an everyday position player but he was a star pitcher in college, so they switched him to the bullpen and it seems to be working out.
Lineup. lenscrafters won’t be happy, but he’ll be happier. Well, sort of…the idea of replacing your #2 hitter is to identify someone who’s actually better:
Weeks 2B
Cowgill LF
Reddick RF
Smith DH
Inge 3B
Ka’aihue 1B
Suzuki C
Crisp CF
Pennington SS
I’m all for that, or any order that differs from the one I presented. I just think Melvin thinks all 9, 1, and 2 hitters should look speedy/slappy/punchy. Smith would have to lose 20 pounds and start choking up on a smaller bat.
My mom has taken to email lately and she writes almost exactly like you!

This will only mean much of anything to Colin, but the truck carrying the EBEX receiver from Minnesota to Palestine has disappeared along with the driver. Last seen in the Dallas area on Monday afternoon.
That makes me FKing angry. The trucking company is suspicious/drug-addled/incompetent or all of the above.

This man needs Rivercats season tickets and directions to the Squeeze-In and Rick’s.
Between segments of the show, Conley asked, “How often are you up in Sacramento?â€
“Like one day a week, tops,†Newsom said. “There’s no reason…It’s just so dull…Sadly, I just, ugh, God.â€
I installed the art in his offices in Sacramento after Bustamante moved out.
Cruz ‘forgot’ a crock pot of fuzzy rotten pinto beans on the reception desk front and center, it stunk up the place so bad and none of the windows could be opened, luckily one of the custodians found us a fan.
Pretty ‘f’-ed up ‘welcome to town’ if you ask me.
The densest neighborhoods in Sacramento feel like low/medium density neighborhoods in S.F. feel. . Also, the nightlife is geared towards the under-30 set, not the urban own-fart-sniffing class.

But… But… does ANYBODY play rec-league hockey sober?
When I was living in grad school, one of my roommates played some rec-league hockey. He usually drove to and from games, so hopefully he wasn’t getting too obliterated.
Missing piece of information is that I was in grad school in Chicago… so he was either playing in this very rec league or else a similar one.
I also liked this story linked on that page of Deadspin: World Celebrates As Gordon Ramsay Injured During Charity Soccer Match
I wasn’t wearing my glasses when the page loaded, so the first frame it shows before you play the video made me think that he ruptured a testicle or something. Darn.
Shearingham must have had some issue with Ramsey, judging by the way he raked his hand across the man’s face and nose after the hit.
Some front page Chronicle love for my peeps at the 24 Hours of LeMons.
Modern technoritual done right
No links? Well, here’s an old ass Jeff Buckley acoustic set, if that’s your thing.

TRUE, true, and true.
That is awesome and made me smile. <3

Good. I kind of like their idea of the rotated ump and would probably prefer only disputed calls be overturned instead of simply stepping in, but this is perfectly fine. Now if only they would computerize balls & strikes.
this guy is jetting through the system. I had not heard of this pitcher before this year?
I’m sure you have in another form.
Saw him in spring training. If he’d stuck at first base, I wouldn’t want to be Cliff Pennington trying to turn a 1-6-3. He throws really hard, especially for a lefty.
thats a double play that starts with the pitcher.
so you’re saying it couldn’t be penny who’s throwing because the A’s are batting?
Good. He ain’t getting any younger. If he kicks a little ass in Sac, bring’im up in July.
He was a 1B/RF and seemed like a decent position player prospect until getting hurt in 2009 and then missing all of 2010. They decided that his repaired knees weren’t going to allow him to continue as an everyday position player but he was a star pitcher in college, so they switched him to the bullpen and it seems to be working out.
Apparently his FB is getting up to 97 and so far this season he has 40Ks and only 6BB in 21+ innings.
Wow. What are the odds he can maintain that ratio? Probably slim, but wow.
Well, in his first night in Sac, he came in with 2 runners on in the 6th and let one of them score, but got 4 of his 5 outs by strikeout.
(i know)
That occurred to me, but your deadpan was very convincing.
Lineup. lenscrafters won’t be happy, but he’ll be happier. Well, sort of…the idea of replacing your #2 hitter is to identify someone who’s actually better:

Reddick RF
Smith DH
Inge 3B
Ka’aihue 1B
Suzuki C
Crisp CF
Pennington SS
Hurry up Manny and Yoenis!
I’m ready to give Hicks a shot at SS as well.
Hicks? He really went downhill fast after American Idol.
On a different note, they’ll probably do something like this when Manny and Cespedes return, because neither of them are “#2 hitters”:
Weeks 2B
Pennington SS
Reddick RF
Cespedes CF
Ramirez DH
Inge 3B
Ka’aihue 1B
Suzuki C
Crisp LF
If we’re facing a righthander, put Smith in Crisp’s spot, and swap him with Pennington in the batting other.
I’m all for that, or any order that differs from the one I presented. I just think Melvin thinks all 9, 1, and 2 hitters should look speedy/slappy/punchy. Smith would have to lose 20 pounds and start choking up on a smaller bat.
Hicks? Well, we already have a Reddick, might as well have a Redneck.
Hicks is striking out more than Carter.
I reckon it’s been several years since I, or any other A’s fan, have been happy with an A’s lineup.
For a minute I though my son wrote this, K. It sounded so familiar.

Awww! I’m honored.
This will only mean much of anything to Colin, but the truck carrying the EBEX receiver from Minnesota to Palestine has disappeared along with the driver. Last seen in the Dallas area on Monday afternoon.
Whoa, that’s really crazy! Are you affiliated with EBEX at all, or just hearing rumors? I can see if Clem finds out anything from Shaul…
I’m on EBEX – just heard it from Shaul.
Well, I hope that the driver and EBEX turn up unharmed.
If the truck has been jacked there are going to be some sorely disappointed thieves.
The drug cartels are always on the lookout for bolometers.
The last time I went through US Customs, I was carrying $20k worth of sapphire half-wave plates. How big is the HWP on EBEX?
Ummm … 17?
Dallas is one hell of a detour on the route from Minnesota to Palestine.
Less so when the ultimate destination is McMurdo.
Talk about a scenic route.
Did you have to spend time in Palestine to prep for either of the BOOMERANG flights?
Not personally – they wouldn’t let a theorist/data analyst like me anywhere near the instrument.
That’s what I figured, but sometimes it’s fun to give your type a bit of hazing.
They did stand me next to the gondola with a screwdriver in hand for “hilarious” pictures in the UCSB high bay.
classic.
On CAPMAP, there was a push to make Kendrick Smith take observing shifts, including travel out to Crawford Hill.
Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility is in Palestine, Texas. I hear that it’s not really the most fun place to spend a summer.
The google map point in that image is off center.
That is precisely why scientific balloon research needs more funding.
FKing crazy. http://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/NASA-Balloon-Telescope-Goes-Missing-Near-Dallas-155773895.html
Maybe he sold it for crack. Or, since it’s Texas, meth.
I’m not sure on Texas. Florida is crack. California is meth.
That makes me FKing angry. The trucking company is suspicious/drug-addled/incompetent or all of the above.

Have they tried looking up? Everyone forgets to look up when they’re searching for things.
And it’s a balloon!

Win!
File under what could possibly go wrong.
Subcontractor for a subcontractor? Fukushima?
are you a highly motivated young man or woman, or is that just a slight bulge in the reactor building wall in your pocket?
I just looked up the Midland Rockhounds’ batting statistics. I really wish I hadn’t done that.
That was a poor Choice.
I told myself I shouldn’t give the Green light to look up the RiverCats stats. Oh well.
The Rays called up Matsui. His .178/.202/.222 in AAA was too much for them to ignore, I guess.
Smartest organization in baseball!
Rangers signed Oswalt.
Lucroy injured in hotel room accident. Sounds fishy to me.
Reaching for a lost sock. You gonna stick with that story?
I love Tommy Craggs so much.
Immense sadness for me, but hey they had a good run.
Hope they retire to bananas and blow on a kaiser bun.
Thank you Gene and Deaner’ for the good times.

he quit drinking a few years ago, he may still be off the sauce, I can’t see why he would be bored.
Sabermetrician would have been harder. Heck, I’m not sure I spelled it right in my first sentence.
Sabermetrician. N-E-R-D. Sabermetrician.

Yeah. Mom was not happy about it at all.
