PrintOakland Athletics at Seattle Mariners, Aug 23, 2008 7:10 PM PDT
To be perfectly honest, it wouldn't mean a damn thing if the A's go on to throttle Washburn tonight. He could have the ugliest start of his career, and even though that would come on the heels of RRS and Feierabend shutting down the same lineup, it's not like anyone could point to this series as evidence that the young guys are as good or better than the veteran. For each guy, you'd be talking about a sample of one start. That would be irresponsible. In the grand scheme of things, we already know who and what Jarrod Washburn is as a pitcher. What he ends up doing tonight is insignificant.
But with that said, I can't for the life of me imagine a more personally satisfying outcome. Come on, Oakland. Beat the living crap out of this clown. At least, as much as you can. I know there's a lot to beat out.

Yeah , that did quiet down real quick after the firing
I would rather wait it out at this point. I’m afraid of speculating because this team scares me

Right after the WS, the rumors will be flying.
But if you are going to a game make a sign … that is what I am planning to do on the last day… a HUGE sign for a new GM.
Albert Pujols played the best game I can remember him playing and yet *those* were the results
Someone better get no hit and cheer me up.
Yahoo has Beltre DHing.
Cairo at third. Clement benched for hitting the ball too hard.

It’s obvious they cheat. Their move to the NL was a bunch of horseshit and it’s obvious they should have been contracted years ago.
That doesn't make any sense

I still cannot root for Washburn to get shelled.
I want him off the team before March 2009.
At the expense of a win?
And the team will never move Washburn to another team. They could have twice already and didn’t either time.
"Hole in one, eh?"
They tried to trade him before the deadline, then put him on waivers.
They want to move him. They’re just badly misreading the market. That could change.
On the one hand one start shouldn't change his value
On the other hand stupid teams might believe one start changes his value, and only stupid teams would want Jarrod Washburn.

So, I saw Radiohead last night in San Francisco
And they used clips from an M’s broadcast at the beginning of “The National Anthem.” You can hear it in this clip (but the audio is a bit tortured.

Anyway, that freaked me out a bot when I heard it, but thought was very cool. Sorry for the OT – carry on.
Reminds me of one of my favorite images this year.

Of course, that stat is rbis+runs-homeruns, so its a bunch of BS.

Well fuck.

That’s a primary reason why I’ve never cared about baseball and softball losing their status.

Thank goodness for the WBC's creation.
And why does soccer get to stay as an Olympic? The men don’t field their best athletes and they have the World Cup to supplant the Olympics.
I won't argue that point.
But I think having the World Cup makes the Olympic event redundant and less meaningful because they don’t field their best players.
I’m fine with baseball not being a part of the Olympics thanks to the WBC, but I think soccer should be disqualified for the same reasons baseball is.
I approve.

No performance reason that he shouldn't.

Well 300 wins isn't necessary an automatic HOF entry is it?
We all know RJ would go into the HOF on the first ballot anyways, but he might as well be a surefire candidate.
"Hole in one, eh?"
...How many pitchers have notched 300 wins over the last 10 years
compared to hitters getting to 500 home runs?
(Disregarding that pitching wins are stupid).
Me too, but just in case, I don't see any reason why Arizona needs to go shopping for a starter, aside from depth.

I had a CSR tell me that she was told that they were blocking BT traffic.
Before the news broke. I’m sure she was looking for a new job not too long after the FCC started calling.
I loved how they'd cut off customers for "downloading too much"
Despite there not being a stated bandwidth limit.
And their advertising stating "unlimited" bandwidth.
I had that problem back in the days of dialup.
Unlimited bandwidth isn't even possible
even if you were the only one on all of their servers
They can limit you to xGB/month
I know, I know, that’s transferred data, but it’s called BW by ISPs.
That's horrific
How are you possibly supposed to pirate music with a data transfer limit?
Try ISPs in other countries.
Most have transfer limits, notably UK and AUS. Or at least they did last time I had a friend living there (3 years ago).
My cable company is stellar. Never thought I'd say that.
I have Cox in San Diego. It might be a little pricey, I don’t know, but my Net connection is obscenely fast and the customer service is impeccable.
Vegas' primary provider is Cox
Indeed, no one I’ve known has ever had any serious problems with them.
Down here, there's basically a freeway that runs east to west through the city.
Everyone above the freeway has Time Warner, and everyone below has Cox. And TW doesn’t have the NFL Network, so whenever the games are on I’m glad I chose to live a few blocks south of I-8. My friends with TW don’t seem too pleased.

Factors
- Space in Downtown is expensive.
- Most of those spaces are taken up by crappy incumbents with crappy overpriced options and, often times, crappy service.
- … but they make so much money from the commuters and tourist stragglers that they stay in business.
The term "Business District" has never been more aptly defined.

With Ballard becoming Capitol Hill Northwest,
the continuing urbanization of Georgetown, Roosevelt/Maple Leaf and West Seattle, and the (so far well managed) gentrification of the CD/Beacon Hill area, the gaps in density are starting to close. If things continuing going the way they are now, it’s going to turn out really, really well or beyond awful. At this point I have no idea which outcome I think is more likely.

They've got to do something serious with Seattle Center
That place has needed a fundamental overhaul for at least 15-20 years.
It's pretty depressing to go there now.
I remember it being so much nicer when I was younger, but that’s probably just nostalgia playing tricks on me.
I walked through the whole shebang recently during an off-day
It made Southcenter look like Manhattan.
It's quite easy to tell that it was designed in the 1960's.
At the time, envisioning a future when people didn’t find it desirable to spend every waking moment of their free time in their cars wasn’t really something urban planners did. Any real meaningful change is going to require some really drastic alterations to the entire area surrounding it.

So Rome went from 1.2 million people in population size down to 12,000 after the aqueducts were destroyed.

Well yeah, but I never knew Rome got down to 12,000 in population.

Huh... he apparently pitched through a groin injury
This reminds me of an old joke among HS friends, when someone would get hit in the groin. “Well, he won’t be GROIN anymore!”
Angels win, elimination number at 4.

I love Niehaus' call of that flyball
I just knew it was getting caught at the wall. That’s the way it’s gone.
Why isn't Batista pitching now?
We can save this guy for a start?

and get the hell out of here after this half-inning.
Elimination number now at 3.

I went tonight with 'Brokenbat" from MC.
It fucking sucked. Fun hanging out with BB, though. I hate the Mariners.
