It is time for us to act on what everyone knows to be true: DLD + game thread 060409 167

Damn straight: Chavvy, it’s time to hang up the spikes Best use of the word “vestigial” ever in a movie Whoa. I’m guessing … Michael Hutchence Disease.

We do not even appreciate how widespread our opponents are and how many resources they have: DLD 060309 56

Byg Twyt’s spidey-sense is all a-tingle: Now I’m predicting a housecleaning of sorts on the horizon.

Who might be on the chopping block? ...

I prefer my wings really hot, and a little crispy: DLD 060209 59

Slusser fluffer on Woooozuki It’s against my better judgment to provide a link to this idiot, but Ostler has a not-half-bad (albeit all-stupid) feature column on Breslow I never realized I was a libertarian (OK, yeah, there’s an article somewhere on this once every 2 years or so … but it never stops being entertaining) ...

The A’s and Texas both have days off today, but play a doubleheader tomorrow. So it’s up to us, here, now, to maintain peak readiness. 1. And they say his ghost walks the halls, haunting those who make crude sex jokes about his name. Or so I choose to recast this story, in which a ...

DLD 5/27/09: Indiana Jones must not suffer the ignominy of BPro Idol 39

Oh get a grip: It is condescending on BPro’s part to evaluate him as if he’s some unpolished, unpublished kid. Brian is already a star. Give him the 1000$, and be thankful he’s being a good sport in being forced to go through this. I haven’t been following the contest, but for crying out loud, ...

Empathy triumphs over excellence: DLD 052609 17

Oh, great — yet another snide entry in the Beane-Geren “debate.” That’s all I got.

Memorial DLDay 10
