Phun Phact: If you use the story scroll widget to click on an article the thumbs up – thumbs down mechanism disappears. I usually don’t pay much attention to it even though I will thumb up comments, but I usually like to see how many thumbs down biceps can generate from the outrageous things he types

Good thing the Dodgers’ fired him. They would have sucked if he was still the GM.

Most of the people seeing the movie won’t know whether the A’s assistant GM was Paul DePodesta, Peter Brand or Peter Brady anyway, so who really cares whether DePodesta allowed them to use his name? If anything he should have allowed it so his not-so-well-known name could become more mainstream. Lord knows being demoted from assistant GM to VP of the Mutts Player Development can’t have helped much.

Alderson, DePodesta and Ricciardi all together again in NY. Man, if the Mets can get their money situation squared away, in 3 years they will be a force.

DePodesta continued on to say, “But yeah, its basically because he’s fat.”
