DBD 12.11.09 Keep our A's in Oakland

PrintA lot of big stories this morning...while I'm waiting to ensure the baby's asleep before returning to my slumber I thought I'd throw up a DBD (it's 2:08 AM). All links links SF Gate, SFW, and should open in a new window unless otherwise noted. Cal-themed stories are in blockquotes.

Is he Irish enough? Notre Dame picks the 'natti's Brian Kelly to take over. I have watched 0 snaps of 'natti football so I have no idea if this is a good move. While I hate Notre Dame, I think that means I really like them. I love Notre Dame stadium, their unis, their non-conferenceness, and their history.

Clint Eastwood, who's directed Invictus starring Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon, utilized noneother than Jack Clark (calbears.com) to help make the rugby authentic in the movie. I'm willing to pay the sitter for this one.
Finally, in huge news the City of Oakland (Caution: Carolyn Jones story) has listed three potential waterfront-ish sites for a new A's ballpark.
"We're willing to fight to keep our A's in this city," said city Councilman Larry Reid. A's owner "Lew Wolff said there's no viable stadium sites in Oakland. Well, we've proven him wrong."
I hope to Bak Bak this goes through.
Mayor Ron Dellums said Oakland offers the A's economic vitality, a solid fan base and great baseball tradition.
"Oakland and baseball are synonymous," he said. "If baseball is a game of the people, then what better place than this magnificent city that has embraced everyday people from all over the world?"
Well said, Mayor Dellums, well said. Now don't fuck this up and pay your damn taxes.
I'll get the rest of the News & World report as well as the official calbears.com stories at a more reasonable hour.

Reliving Marshawnthusiasm
Yesterday at work, a colleague and I were talking NFL football. Somehow, the topic of Desean Jackson came up, and how he has been a very good draft pick for the Iggles. My colleague (knowing my Cal alumness and fandom) asked me, “didn’t he drive around on a cart or something on the field after you guys won a game?”
Of course, I took the opportunity to correct him, tell him it was Marshawn, and tell the full story. Highlight of my day.

They NEVER wait until bowls are done if they can help it. Recruiting comes up hard and fast after the season, and the more time you have to assemble a staff, the better prepared you’ll be. In actuality, this helps Cincinnati, as it gives them more time to find a new coach, and most of the coaching moves have yet to be made, so there’s still good coaches left out there.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
Sucks for the kids though, They work so hard and are so excited for the bvoel game, just to have their coach abandon them. There’s no way he can coach that game now, and even if me wanted to, the kids wouldn’t listen to or respect him.
Just seems like a shite thing to do, abandoning your players right before what is arguably the biggest game of their lives.
CGB: Wasting Your Potential, Your Time, & Your Life Since 2006.
Not sure how much I buy the “it’s better for Cinci” argument. Wouldn’t most bowl-eligible programs put a new hire off until after the postseason anyway (at least publicly)? For example, Bill Stewart had the “interim” tag post-Rich Rod until after WVU beat OU in the Fiesta Bowl. And it’s certainly bad for them this year, since they’re on the cusp of maybe the biggest game in Cinci football history and have to adjust to a new coach. As we all know, it’s not every year you go to (or have a shot at) a BCS Bowl. Maybe they’ll have a pre-bowl, post-departure fantastic hire (like Kelly himself was) or find someone great in the off-season, but it’s still not the best of situations.
That having been said, I understand the Brian Kelly’s perspective. It’s better for his new program for him to get started right away and thus better for him. It just sucks for Cinci.

Dude, heres the one thing I dont like about the waterfront ballpark.
Were at the game. Its a gorgeous Oakland day. I have tickets to go to Yoshi’s later. I ate at Chicken and Waffles before the game. Im gonna eat at Everett and JOnes for dinner. Great stuff, right?
Except that like every 30 minutes an Amtrak train rumbles down the street blasting that fucking horn SO loud! Also, BART doesnt go right there. Itd be like with PacBell where you have to walk 10 blocks or whatever. Better than Fuckmont, of course!

How often does the Capitol Corridor train run? I didn’t think they had more than a train every hour or so. As for horn, I think once a game isn’t too bad, although if they were horn-crazy like Seattle then it’d be a little obnoxious.

they do about 10x the amount of trains compared to the CC (which is like 20 round trips per day through there)

At least one of those sites is a non-starter since the identified area has 20 different private owners. But the other two (the harbor terminal and the fire training site) are interesting.
My wife and I, in our courtship days, used to go to a lot of games (e.g. in section 119) and we’d bring along the greatest Vietnamese sandwiches from this tiny hole in the wall in Oakland Chinatown. I’d be quite excited to do that without having to make an extra BART stop.
You bought sandwiches from a hole in a wall? Sounds dangerous.
There are 3 colors there, which color is the one thats a non-starter?

I think it’s the green one. The red is the harbor terminal (single owner) and the teal is the Oakland fire training structure. I like the teal the best b/c it’s pretty close to the Lake Merritt BART station.
20 private owners a non-starter?!?!

I don’t know about the eligbility rules for the FA Cup and Europa League, in which Everton is hanging on by a thread. But they’ve been so decimated with injuries, he could be playing a lot.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s an excellent move by David Moyes, because Everton could use the help and I think that if he doesn’t back out being tackled, Donovan could be a solid striker for them.
He’s eligible for the FA Cup as long as he has not played in the competition for another team this season (obviously hasn’t).
Europa League is trickier but I suspect Everton would add him to their “Europa Roster” once the window opens in January.

It was kind of weird watching them play on the Galaxy, in that they did the normal teammate excited hugging or whatever after a goal, and it was hard to tell if it was scripted/forced or not.

I’m not a particular fan of David Beckham, but I lost any final shred of patience I had with Landon Donovan with his bitch-fest of a book ostensibly written by Grant Wahl.
The Beckham circus at LA Galaxy may have been irritating, but when Donovan can say he’s played a key role in winning two leagues, has a Champions League winner’s medal, and singlehandedly rescued a World Cup qualifying effort (or at least be given credit for it), having worked his way into it as a limited player, then I’ll be interested in his opinion.
I guess I interpreted that differently, where LD was taking Beckham to task for not being a good teammate and Grant Wahl was looking for saleable quotes. I see your point though.

Yeah, you’d have to take a bus or walk from BART, just like AT&T Park. But, also like AT&T, you can take the ferry there! I could totally drive to the Alameda Ferry station and take a 2 minute boat ride to the game!

I have no recollection of the AMTRAK ever blasting its horn going by the current Coliseum. I have no idea if it does. does it? I know it does on Jack London because it goes down the street there and has to alert people not to get in the way. So, it might not be the same situation at all.

Now with the size of the parking lot, there is some inherent distance placed between the people and the trains. Jack London is not made this way, it does have pedestrians adjacent to the train tracks, but I really think your experience is based on being within 5-10 feet of the train. And unless you’re setting up your tailgate infront of BevMo (not actually a bad idea…) You’ll have plenty of distance from the train to talk.
Although the way you talk, you’re bound to be interrupted by the train, just by sheer quantity of things you say.

Oh, I dont tailgate at the Coliseum. Too close to the trains.

True – and there is a famous open-air theatre in San Diego, I think the one I’m thinking of is the Starlight Bowl in Balboa Park, which is under the landing path of the nearby airport (both are near downtown). It’s a very small crowd which are absolutely silent during the performance, so when a plane flies over, a light on stage goes on, the actors freeze for 30 seconds, and then resume when it’s gone.
A simple example of making it work for much more noise sensitive arenas.

Indeed.INDIANAPOLIS — Former AL Rookie of the Year Bobby Crosby and the Pittsburgh Pirates have agreed to a $1 million, one-year contract.
The 29-year-old infielder had spent his previous seven seasons with Oakland Athletics and was voted the rookie honor in 2004, when he batted .239 with 22 homers and 64 RBIs.
He hit just .223 this year with six homers and 29 RBIs in 238 at-bats, becoming the first Oakland player to appear in at least five games at four infield positions since Ernest Riles in 1991. He went on the disabled list in August because of a strained left calf.
Crosby can earn $500,000 in performance bonuses based on plate appearances.

Cal swimmers doing well internationally:
HONG KONG – California junior Hannah Wilson, swimming for Hong Kong in her hometown, won two silver medals and four bronze medals in the 2009 East Asian Games swimming competition that wrapped up on Thursday at Kowloon Park Swimming Pool. Wilson’s teammate and former Cal star Sherry Tsai competed for the last time for Hong Kong. An All-American for Cal from 2005-07, Tsai retired from competitive swimming after the meet.
Wilson claimed silver in a time of 8:04.86 as part of Hong Kong’s 800-meter freestyle relay along with incoming 2010 Cal freshman Stephanie Au, earned another silver in a time of 3:40.80 in the 400-meter freestyle relay with Au and Tsai, and won bronze in the 400-meter medley relay (4:03.07) with Tsai.
Individually at the East Asian Games, Wilson earned bronze in the 50 freestyle (25.70), 100 free (55.13) and 100 butterfly (58.85). She also placed fifth in the 50 fly (26.91).
Au won two individual medals, finishing third in the 200 free (1:31.16) and 400 free (4:14.58). She was also fifth in the 800 free (8:57.12).

Men’s soccer player invited to MLS combine:
BERKELEY – Former California defender Tyler Barry was invited to the 2010 Major League Soccer Combine to be held from Jan. 9-13 in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., MLS announced on Thursday. Barry, who completed his college career with the 2008 season, suffered an anterior cruciate ligament knee injury midway through 2008 and was not a viable candidate to attend the 2009 MLS Combine.
“It’s been a long recovery process for Tyler coming off his knee injury last year,” Cal head coach Kevin Grimes said. “We’re so happy and excited to see him get a chance to fulfill his dream of becoming a professional player. Tyler was having a great season in 2008 before his injury. It is nice to see him get recognized for his stellar play the four years he was here at Cal.”
Barry is one of 62 mostly current college seniors from 44 Division I schools with a spot on the initial list of invitees to the combine, which will end two days before the 2010 MLS SuperDraft. A member of the 2008 NSCAA Far West All-Region and All-Pac-10 teams, Barry was an integral member of the backline and started all 11 games he played in last year before his ACL injury cut short his final season. He played in 72 games and collected four goals and one assist during his Cal career.

Current men’s soccer players receive honors:
BERKELEY – California put a trio of Golden Bears – junior forward Andrew Wiedeman, junior defender A.J. Soares and sophomore goalkeeper David Bingham – on the National Soccer Coaches Association of America NCAA Division I Far West All-Region teams, the NSCAA announced on Thursday. This marks the second straight honor for Wiedeman, who repeats his first-team status, and the first such accolade for Bingham, who is on the third team. Soares, who was a third-team pick in 2008, is a second-team selection this season.
Wiedeman, who was one of the most dangerous attacking players on the West Coast this season, was Cal’s leading scorer and a first-team All-Pac-10 selection in 2009. The San Ramon, Calif., product paced the Bears in points (26), goals (11) and game-winning goals (5) after starting all 18 games. He also tied senior forward Jeff Cosgriff for second on the team with four assists. Wiedeman ended the regular season tied for second in goals and ranked third in points in the Pac-10. He is one of 34 players vying for the Soccer News Net’s Player of the Year award.
Also strong in the classroom, Wiedeman earned a spot on the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America second team after first claiming a berth on the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District 8 Team. Wiedeman was named to three important preseason award lists – the Watch List for the Missouri Athletic Club Hermann Trophy and the preseason All-America teams for Soccer America and College Soccer News.

Adam Schefter disagrees with Rishi
Q: Adam, I am nuts to think that the 49ers should start Smith next year and wait another year before drafting a QB? Shouldn’t their focus be on offensive linemen, defensive backs or pass-rush linebackers? If the season ended today, they would have the 10th and 14th picks. Do you really think one of the better QBs will slip to the 49ers when four teams (I’d say five but I don’t trust Al Davis) who need a QB draft before them?
—Nick (Englishtown, N.J.)
A: Nick, your thinking is completely in line with the organization’s. They are big Alex Smith fans right now. And as is the case with Gradkowski, we have to see how the season plays out in the final quarter. But if the draft were held today, I’d guess that the 49ers would be more inclined to use those two first-round picks on offensive or defensive linemen, defensive backs, or pass-rush linebackers. But there still are four games left this season for their final verdict to come in. But to date, Smith has begun to play up to some of the potential that the 49ers identified in him when they made him the No. 1 overall pick — ahead of Aaron Rodgers.

November 20, 1982 - a date that will live in famy.
the Pac-10 leads the country in dropping Tiger Woods like a bad habit.
They’re the the first entity to completely drop Tiger from their slate of commercials.
Woods shot a quick spot when he was honored last month as a new inductee into the Stanford Athletics Hall of Fame. The spot, which include famous alumni from the conference schools, aired on the UCLA-USC football broadcast on Nov. 28 and on a USC-Nebraska basketball broadcast on Nov. 29.
The ad was supposed to run on ESPN’s broadcast of the Oregon-Oregon State game last Thursday night, but Jim Muldoon, associate commissioner of communications for the Pac-10, told CNBC that the spot was not aired.
“I don’t know when, or if, it will be used again,” Muldoon said.

We have a big thing against paying for something we can do ourselves. ‘Can do’, in this case, is entirely different than ‘will do.’ With Rags having a cold and me feeling nauseated from morning sickness – our house is pretty gross. I would LOVE for someone to come clean it, but especially clean out our fridge. … christmas present!? please?! from the blog?
Ragnarok: Great Man or Greatest Man?
Yeah, that was our conflict as well. I hesitated for a while because of the cost and our physical ability to do the actions required, but I caved due to our time constraints with the kid. We were pretty busy before, right? So we only have her do the things that we always procrastinated on and felt bad about… floors, cabinets, dusting, the stove top, toilet, tub, … we still do all the daily stuff like dishes and laundry and picking up after ourselves. It’s been great, no more midnight mopping. Worth it? I dunno. We’re happy to pay it to avoid cleaning guilt and have things regularly nice.
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic.
I’d probably have to quantify my utility, i.e. the personal value I put on having the house clean. And then I could make an indifference map (made of many indifference curves) and then align that with my budget, and find the point with the highest Utility return that coincides with my budget.
OR, I could not.

I’ll clean out the fridge.
Can’t promise about the rest of the house tho.

Yeah, we barely averted winning that last week. As it turns out, we paid for hubris anyway.

BERKELEY — A ritual as old as Berkeley itself ends on Friday, Dec. 18, at 4 p.m. For the last time, sleep-deprived graduate students will be lined up outside the Degrees Office on the third floor of Sproul Hall, clutching painstakingly printed copies of their doctoral dissertations, the very last step on the arduous path to a Ph.D.
Starting spring semester, Berkeley dissertations are going all-electronic. Students will no longer have to wait anxiously to have paper copies of their work inspected and, they hope, accepted. Instead, they will be able to publish their work digitally, with just a few keystrokes.
Thank Jeebus. There are some real horror stories of grad students trying to file on 15-lb instead of 20-lb paper, or a margin being 0.99" instead of 1.0", which result in dissertations being re-submitted and, even worse, signatures being re-collected.
I wonder if they’ll ever get rid of dissertations altogether…unless you don’t publish any work…which should mean, you don’t graduate!

Mark Purdy: Why you should pull for Toby Gerhart to win the Heisman Trophy
From time to time, I receive complaints that I am an overly opinionated sports columnist. For the next 48 hours, I plan to be even more opinionated.
I really want Stanford running back Toby Gerhart to win the Heisman Trophy, which will be presented Saturday evening in New York City. And you should want it, too.
You should want him to win because if the Heisman is supposedly awarded to “the most outstanding player in college football,” then Gerhart is overqualified.

Don’t know. I don’t see any reason to tip them off, nor any reason why they would go to either site in the first place.
If they know enough about computers they can track what websites you visited and think “ooh let’s see what daddy does”
In other words, Go Bears!
Please. I have a password secured work laptop and otherwise use the wife’s Mac which has a password secured profile. So unless they cracked the passwords or had otherwise set up some kind of app to track traffic on the home network, good luck with that.
And as noted before, all they know about computers is whatever they’ve taught the older one at school.
I trust no-one. My iphone has a passcode also.
In addition to being generically paranoid, I was on a project a few years ago where people started jumping on one another’s laptops and sending “comic” emails to the team at large. That was all the incentive I needed.
I’m also starting to think it’s time to start encrypting the work laptop HD as well. Not because there’s anything important on there, just in case there’s another pre-Christmas round of layoffs coming up that I haven’t heard about for a reason.
Yikes. Well good luck to you.
BTW encrypting laptop harddrive is usually a very good thing

Generally speaking, guaranteeing another $5M+ in the next 12 months for the corporate overlords keeps one’s middle management position safely intact.

Kenpom basketball fun facts! (note: may not be fun for the greater Los Angeles area)
-USC and UCLA have the two lowest rated offenses out of all major conference teams, with a ranking of 256 and 250 (out of 347) respectively.
-Cal currently has the best offense in the conference (#6 in the nation) and perhaps surprisingly, the 3rd best defense in the conference, a hair behind USC and OSU (NOOO 1-3-1 ZONE!)
-Every Pac-10 team is ranked 121 or higher overall except for one team at 191, and that team is…UCLA!!! 191 is actually in the bottom half in the entire country. Shocking.

By the way, you young people, the “please donate” letter says that there is a 3 to 1 match for all donations given by alums in the 2005-2010 classes. So even if you can only afford to give a little, it will be tripled.
Apparently they are trying to encourage you young people to donate — something which we crabby, obnoxious Old Blues already do. If you want to get rid of us, better start donating!

Here's a weirdly serious answer
Beef tallow is not good for candles due to its smokiness. If you want to render the fat to cook with later, you can do a dry or a wet rendering, depending on if you purify it as is or boil it in water. The best thing to do with it is probably to toss it in the city compost, if you have one. Alternately, you could sneak behind a restaurant and toss it in the fat buckets that are picked up professionally.
So can I make soap out of beef fat then?

The green-products study broke ground by suggesting that behavior in one realm (environmental decisions) may have a licensing effect in a different area (not future environmental choices, but general morality). So, when I buy Seventh Generation laundry detergent and organic local squash—or bring reusable bags to the grocery store—will that make me act like a selfish jerk?
Bacon fried in beef fat seems a bit superfluous, really.

I can also download individual episodes of South Park in HD for 2.99 each. A little pricey.
Proud to hold season tickets to the only NBA team soon to be owned by a Russian oligarch.

We’re through the looking glass again, people.
Cal Football: I loved them once and they broke my heart. Let that be a lesson to you. Never love anything.
I'm watching the Rockets/Sixers game
It’s very Pac-10 heavy
Aaron Brooks
Chase Budinger
Trevor Ariza
Jason Kapono
Jrue Holiday
Andre Iguodala
Also – who could’ve predicted Chase Budinger would be contributing so much as a rookie? Or ever?
considering I don’t know who that is, certainly not me!

Goofy looking redhead from Arizona who was the best volleyball recruit in the country. Super athletic, but never really looked like he knew how to play basketball. Can jump out of the gym. I honestly thought he should’ve gone to play beach volleyball instead.
PChris shut him down with regularity. He was so uneven – he’d have games of 24 points and follow them up with games of 3 points.
icic.
Also, I never heard of Trevor Ariza til he played for the Lakers.

You need to divide by two.
That’s the extent of this consultation. For further meetings, I’m going to need a $2,500 retainer. I bill at $275 an hour.
Mayor Ron Dellums said Oakland offers the A’s economic vitality, a solid fan base and great baseball tradition.
Economic vitality? In Oakland? I had heard the renovation of the warehouse district was going alright, but ehh…..
Solid fan base? This one’s debatable. There are certainly A’s diehards who are very knowledgeable and enthusiastic (see: entire LF bleacher crew). But they rarely sell out games other than Double Play Wednesdays and Giants, Yankees, and Red Sox Games, even back when they were routinely winning Division Championships. As much as it pains me to say it, they’re second fiddle to the Giants in the Bay, and even further marginalized by the local football teams. Hell, I have little doubt that even given the disarray around the organization, most Oaklanders would keep the Raiders over the A’s if one they could only keep one.
Great baseball tradition? No argument there.
I am an A’s fan, but I haven’t kept up with stadium chatter since the Fremont deal fell through. I do hope the A’s stay in Oakland (and if not there, in the South Bay), but I have to say Dellum’s argument is pretty weak.
(i don't mean to interject like this, but. . . . .)
Twist? You are amazing! I woke up at 3 AM this morning- couldn’t find my glasses, started a carafe of coffe- mistakenly thinking it was 6 AM. Damn, it was freakishly dark for 6, I thought. Started reading this thread (carp, you’re a badass m-fer! wouldn’t have read it if it wasn’t for you and my beloved A’s. . . or vice-versa! shhhh! it’s our secret, ’member?)
After getting to that ‘dude with the pipes’- I was crying buckets, just laughing my ass off! Woke my Ms. Right Now up, accidentally and she informed me it was 3:20 AM!!!
Boy was PISSED OFF! (couldn’t get back to sleep. had to shag her in the shower so she’d go back down and then. . . . .got right back to this thread)
I’m plannin’ on dumpin’ that hootchie-skank. She was thoroughly non-plussed at all of you guys! I was crackin’ the fuck up. I’m not into her anymore. Feeling unwell about us, afterall. (she’s from Poland and . . . . .she could eat a sandwich or two- you know what I mean? she gots ‘tightness", but she ain’t got booty-ness! AND I WANNA BREAK MY NEW HEADBOARD WITH HER, but. . . . .like I said. . . feelin’ unwell about her)
I love you too, brotha!
(wait? i’m unwell about a lot of things now. . . . . .?)
