DBD 7.14. 08 ESPN Team Preview articleeeeeeeeeeeee

Ok, new amendment to this Daily Bear Dump-onology:

If you have a link to post up and there really isn’t a way to start a new DBD dump (i.e. a Sunday afternoon), dutifully remember to check the FanShots first. You never know when somebody might have already posted it there, first.

Moreover, the FanShots even have a setting for “Link” to share merely a link with all of us, if there isn’t a readily available DBD or you aren’t in a good position to start your own (and even though I have been doing them recently, I, by no means, demand a monopoly on them). So, they might be the best way to share this link with all of us in the sort of Sunday afternoon scenario!

This is not to insult you, We are new to this, too, afterall. Either way, I feel this is a reasonable amendment and will hopefully avoid double posting.

So, FanPosts should be blog entries by non CGB writers plus the daily link dump. And, FanShots seem to be a place for photos and videos taken by CGB visitors. Perhaps there should be a FanLinks section as well where not only the daily link dump could be located but CGB readers could post links as well.

Another thought is that this whole separation between FanPosts and FanShots is stupid. This is a criticism of SBN, not CGB.

07/11/08 Objections of California Oak Foundation Filed

Nothing is scanned in yet, though. So, despite their protestations of “being on vacation,” they were able to successfully file an objection.

NYT article on the 3 women’s swimming coaches (from Cal, ucla, and Stanford) on the US Olympic staff.

"My road to where I am now has been very fulfilling," Rodgers said shortly before entering the clubhouse at Edgewood-Tahoe, where he’d just completed Saturday’s second round. "I put in a lot of hard work in high school just to get noticed, and when I got to Cal I waited in the wings behind a really good quarterback (Reggie Robertson) before I got my turn.”

If I recall correctly, he only had to wait about four games. But I guess that still counts.

She got robbed… should’ve been #8… plus where the F is JT?

Berkeley City Council member Dona Spring passed away yesterday night at the hospital where I was born, Alta Bates. What unfortunate news, the loss of such an important person in Berkeley’s recent history. I didn’t always agree with her, but she definitely was a woman of conviction.

I wonder how this affects the Memorial Stadium project. She was one of the fiercest opponents to the project,.

Most recently she demonstrated her environmental activism—and her fierce opposition to what she saw as UC Berkeley’s negative impact on the city—by supporting the people who are sitting in the oak trees in Memorial Grove.

I can almost see the headline now on the Save the Oaks website.

“UC Assassinates Key Opponent of Stadium Project”
“UC Uses Mafia Tactics to Finish Stadium Project”
“UC Murders Disabled Woman. Overthrow the Government!”

It’s a tragedy that she had to die and I hope the protesters don’t tarnish her legacy by spinning a conspiracy theory out of it. I know that sounds immature and lame to us, but would it really surprise anyone if they did?

She’s done many great things for the environment, disabled citizens, lower income residents and has tried to preserve the character of Berkeley. She should be celebrated appropriately and not exploited.

She was also a Cal alum so we shouldn’t trash her just because she fought the UC on the Stadium project. Her agenda for many years has been to keep living costs low for the residents of Berkeley and the presence of the University certainly didn’t help. Therefore we should understand her opposition to our agenda because it – unlike the tree-sitter motivations – were based on logic.

Donna Spring, you were not our enemy…just an opponent and you fought well. I hope the tree sitters will not tarnish your legacy.

She opposed the SAHPC, but she isn’t the “enemy”. Perhaps, someone has lost the sense that the use of this term is for comic relief. It ain’t personal, and we aren’t sending out the snipers, even though the alternate world folks will think so.

Somebody might have linked to this already, because its not super new, but Tyson Ross is injured.

Tyson Ross, the A’s second round pick in last month’s draft, is also dealing with injury issues. He was put on the DL July 1 because of his shoulder, but also was given the go-ahead for rehab after a clean MRI. The 21-year-old righty had only made two professional appearances so far, but was impressive, giving up just two hits and one earned run, walking none and striking out five in five innings. Ross was a Pac 10 All-Star at California last year when he went 6-6, 2.49 with 120 strikeouts and just 39 walks in 115 2/3 IP.

I found this link on BearInsider.com. Do these cheese heads realize that they’re screwing their own team? Be sure to use your power to vote! Since they don’t show the results, I doubt it is legit, but send a clear message to the land of Old Milwaukee.
