While I was posting, apparently Cody Scarpetta got himself sent to the minor league camp. Not surprising anyone, really, he was primarily on the 40-man due to contract weirdness. He’ll be at Class A Brevard County this year.

by morineko on Mar 11, 2010 1:37 PM CST reply actions  

Don't be surprised if he only spends half the season or so there

Because he’s been on the 40 man for a while now, this is his second option. He’ll probably qualify for four options, but even so, that means he needs to make the team in three years…and he’s never pitched above Low A.

I live in the NW surburbs of Chicago and until we moved into an enclosed high rise I was able to pull in WTMJ. I’m at work, though, and without my AM radio. :(

I have a windup AM-FM radio

It rocks. Just wind it up and go. It also has solar panels. the problem is, other than not living in the WTMJ broadcast area, is that the St. Croix valley is usually covered in clouds for most of March.

I bought one of these for my wife.

The boy will take it in the other room, and every 15 minutes you hear “Wrrr, Wrrr, Wrrr, Wrr,”

There was a raffle for anyone working the Y2K overnight duty. They gave out survival-themed prizes (emergency kits, windup and solar-powered electronics, etc.)

I bought a windup phone charger a few years ago and that also works better than I had expected it to.

WEVR in River Falls is playing an instrumental version of some Elton John song. However, it’s coming in crystal-clear so I’m not going to try to tune something else, so I can at least listen to Saturday day games when the season rolls around.

No.

Their support is all but non-existent. The automated response is the best you’ll get. Maybe you’ll get a rote apology tomorrow and an explanation that they don’t guarantee all radio feeds. When I go to the support threads I get the following helpful message:

Gameday says it's Ziegler

He’s the only submarine pitcher I know of on the team, too. ;)
I really hate that the A’s don’t put names on their BP jerseys—actually, a lot of the guys in BP wear shirts w/o numbers. I had so many problems trying to take pictures for friends when the A’s were in Minnesota for a game last year. I had to ask random A’s fans in the crowd if they could recognize the players.

If they stick a tall, skinny LHP in today, it’s Jerry Blevins (but he pitched the other day, so I doubt it.) If it’s a short LHP with big ears, it’s Craig Breslow. The rest of the RP, I don’t know.
