They’re not booing, they’re saying boo-eane! boo-eane! … DLD 6-29 50

I haven’t looked at box scores all weekend so I don’t even know who the A’s have been playing, but I have read a little about their own beloved radio announcer turning on them.  So the question is–will Korach be called into the boss’ office for a little chat after his recent outburst, which I ...

Leon Panetta says I’m almost wishing for the A’s to lose: DLD 061509 35

Slusser dog-paddles the Chavez back-surgery story (and from that same article: apparently, the deal Geren worked out with Cabrera is that in exchange for getting dropped from the leadoff spot, he doesn’t ever have to take a pitch again) Brian Bruney is my favorite Yankee So now the Angels, after letting Brandon Wood languish in ...

Three hours left to argue politics: DLD 052909 43

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) ...

DLD 051509: Victory Cabbage Time
Well it looks like Manny did take steroids after all. Looks like Hubble will keep on trucking for a little longer. I just have to say as someone from the land of the Buddha, I am proud of how we manage to pull off mammoth elections in a mostly peaceful manner every 5-odd years. I ...

DLD 051409: Hard Pore Corn
Anyone up for some old-fashioned cornholing? (I’ve pimped Andy’s blog and newsletter before. It’s awesome. They also do a CSA veggie box you can sign up for.) If someone (say, grover) wants to do a groveresque down-on-the-farm report, they should use this for a recurring logo/banner: Go chat with Will Carroll and ask him what ...

DLD or Condilump Ink Bar or whatever 95

The New Ballpark Blog has some stuff (today’s and yesterday’s diaries) that’s news to me. Most things are news to me several days/weeks/millennia after they’ve happened, so I’m sure you already know that stuff. That’s the only A’s/baseball-related link I’m gonna put, because if I spend more than a few minutes typing, I’ll get DLDblocked ...

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 ...

Weekend DLD: Opening Day Roster 62

Slusser Gio, Hannahan, Pennington, Denorfia, Barton down. Devine to 60-day DL… Gallagher, Bailey, in the bullpen. So: Suzuki Powell Giambi Ellis Cabrera “HR” Chavy Nomar Crosby Cust Buck Sweeney Holliday Rajai Braden Cahill Eveland Anderson Outman Gallagher Bailey Ziggy Casilla Springer Wuertz Blevins I’m curious how Gallagher will be used. He may be the second ...

4/3/09: Another tree-saving, newspaper-killing DLD 81

In 2005, when I was working for Safeway in San Rafael, I had the good fortune of getting some free-lance work with Media News Group’s Marin County edition.   Fifty bucks to write a high school football game wrap?  Great work, if you can get it.  Later, I was able to make full-time (albeit-less-than-$14/hr) work out ...
