I'm starting to get the feeling that this years "Watasik" whipping boy is going to be Emil Brown. Given that he could very well only be a .700 ops corner outfielder, and given that CarGon is breathing down his neck, I get the feeling that every single strike out or LOB he has will have calls for his DFA.
is wide...Dan Johnson can't keep his foot on the bag...so it's ruled a hit. Now I'm just curious what IS an error. It's 10-2 ... If there's a one-hopper back to the mound, Braden should turn and fling it into the right field bleachers - just see how they score it.
But in a few years we'd all go, remember that time a guy died in the dugout in Japan? And then we'd laugh for awhile, and then there'd be an awkward silence.
First!
Forst! Faust!
Nico - March 22, 2008
Did anyone else make the transition?

Jennifer - March 22, 2008
Is this thing on?
Poppy - March 22, 2008
Quick inning for Keith!
oblique - March 22, 2008
And much faster AN.
oblique - March 22, 2008
I think it WAS the massive amout of comments
slowed us down.
Jennifer - March 22, 2008
gooooooooooooooooooooo A's!
drmmerchk - March 22, 2008
Foulke didn't break 140 but still cruised
through the meat of the order.
WaddellCanseco - March 22, 2008
Hot blonde....
oblique - March 22, 2008
That was me.
Jennifer - March 22, 2008
Well if you like that kind of thing.
I assume that was a player's wife?
OldhamA - March 22, 2008
That's the great thing about the Japanese broadcast
I'll never know :-)
oblique - March 22, 2008
EHHHH!!!
Syphon - March 22, 2008
Random blonde broads in the crowd
Poppy - March 22, 2008
Whats the overall feeling on Foulke?
Think he has a chance to be good this year?
asfaninpismobeach - March 22, 2008
Sure everyone has a "chance".
WaddellCanseco - March 22, 2008
If he has controll yes.
He needs its since he was throwing around 86.
Syphon - March 22, 2008
Define good
I think he'll be good enough to be in the JD 2008 A's Computer Desktop Wallpaper Collage. But I also have BoCro in it, so whatever.
thejd44 - March 22, 2008
I hope so
because I want to be able to flip him for a good prospect at the deadline so he can finally make up for that Author Rhodes debacle.
Threepwood XX - March 22, 2008
LOL
RBB (Random Blonde Broad) knows she's on camera.
Poppy - March 22, 2008
She's handling it so well!
oblique - March 22, 2008
They're leaving the camera on her for an uncomfortably long time
drmmerchk - March 22, 2008
Define "uncomfortable."
oblique - March 22, 2008
5 minutes?
OldhamA - March 22, 2008
Yeah, 5 minutes is uncomfortable
At least 4 minutes and 20 seconds of that is really unnecessary...
thejd44 - March 22, 2008
Strippers man
When i lived in Japan they loved the white strippers. Lots of Russian chicks
asfaninpismobeach - March 22, 2008
Holy crap.
This pitcher appeared in 90 games last year!
Jennifer - March 22, 2008
And his arm is still attached.
WaddellCanseco - March 22, 2008
And boy is his arm tired.
Poppy - March 22, 2008
damn
Poppy - March 22, 2008
I think the announcer just said "JFK"...
RBB is Marilyn Monroe!
Poppy - March 22, 2008
He said it again.
WaddellCanseco - March 22, 2008
Hmm
Seems bigger, better, faster in here?
Go A's! :) More hits!
streetfan - March 22, 2008
MLBTV is glitching now, though. :(
Poppy - March 22, 2008
I havent seen Jeff Fiorentino play yet, is he fast?
asfaninpismobeach - March 22, 2008
He's so fast you haven't seen him
Nico - March 22, 2008
As long as he's in an A's uniform, we'll never know.
WaddellCanseco - March 22, 2008
At first I thought you meant
because the A's don't run. Then I realized you mean because by April he'll be injured.
Nico - March 22, 2008
Fiorentino, Denorfia and RSweeney are...
....a combined 25 for 130 on the spring through the two Japan exh. games ...a .192 BA...Gee Billy we are all pretty excited about these young studs!

Only in the metric system

Jeff Fiorentino

Jennifer - March 22, 2008
He killed Ellis. :-(
Nico - March 22, 2008
I can't tell you how much I'd love that
if it said "You're."
thejd44 - March 22, 2008
But then it would make sense
Nico - March 22, 2008
I think that's part of what makes it funny
drmmerchk - March 22, 2008
I think your right!
oblique - March 22, 2008
No, my left!
Nico - March 22, 2008
Why? Did u get sick of us?
oblique - March 22, 2008
I know, I know.
But that mistake, intentional or not, just makes me cringe so much that it ruins it. It's a pet peeve that just can't get past.
thejd44 - March 22, 2008
that *I* just can't get past
Ok, it's funny. I'm over the your thing. That picture is just too good.
thejd44 - March 22, 2008
that just can't get past what?
Hee hee!
Nico - March 22, 2008
Just because I know how to form a sentence
doesn't mean I'm going to always, you know, do it.
thejd44 - March 22, 2008
I do the same thing. I was just talking to my uncle a few minutes ago about it, actually. I don't understand how people don't learn it in school.
drmmerchk - March 22, 2008
i agree completely
flipgatey3 - March 22, 2008
pffff
Correct spelling/grammar are completely contrary to the objective.
Poppy - March 22, 2008
No:
Spelling/grammer IS completely contrarian to being objective.
Nico - March 22, 2008
i can't tell
if the grammar typo was intentional
flipgatey3 - March 22, 2008
Oh, ffs...
I captioned it myself. Yes, the errors were intentional.
Poppy - March 22, 2008

Of course your right
Nice kitty. Nice, nice kitty.

That's misspelled on purpose, right?
OldhamA - March 22, 2008
Noe.
Poppy - March 22, 2008
Yup - that's one mistake I never make by accident
It's my pet peeve, too.
Nico - March 22, 2008
he scored a run last night
there is a cool pic of him diving into home on the A's site
micdog2001 - March 22, 2008
The picture above

oblique - March 22, 2008
What inning is this?
Jennifer - March 22, 2008
Probably not that one.
Poppy - March 22, 2008
Top of the 7th -
or for me, the middle of a fifth.
Nico - March 22, 2008
excellent

I knew I shouldnt ask questions while people are swigging booze
asfaninpismobeach - March 22, 2008

I'm 100% sober too
Wait, sorry: 100-proof.

Can't wait to see these guys live on Weds!
*Well, bleary-eyed at 4am* Will that improve things?!

Did Stomper get $40,000?
WaddellCanseco - March 22, 2008
Are you kidding - he'll work for peanuts

I heard he's working for peanuts.

OK that joke is SO last minute

I hope we get a "Peanutball: Lost In Translation"
where Stomper tries to hook up with Scarlett Johansson.

LOL Stomper dancing! I love it.

Emil Brown
I'm starting to get the feeling that this years "Watasik" whipping boy is going to be Emil Brown. Given that he could very well only be a .700 ops corner outfielder, and given that CarGon is breathing down his neck, I get the feeling that every single strike out or LOB he has will have calls for his DFA.
Threepwood XX - March 22, 2008
For me, nobody can take that honor from BoCro. Nobody.
thejd44 - March 22, 2008
I am woefully lacking on the details for the opener
on Tuesday. What time does it actually start and is it televised anywhere besides mlbtv?
kapers - March 22, 2008
3 AM Pacific time, ESPN2
thejd44 - March 22, 2008
5 AM CT
ESPN2
Jennifer - March 22, 2008
ESPN
3am Tues on ESPN
Threepwood XX - March 22, 2008
ESPN2
Threepwood XX - March 22, 2008
Wait, it's on ESPN?
Seriously? I may have to reconsider my resolve to ignore it. It'll only be 6am for me on vacation in Philly.
Nico - March 22, 2008
Does ESPN2 count as ESPN?
Maybe it could be a loophole? Maybe you could close your eyes and cover your ears every time Joe Morgan makes a biased comment about the BoSox?
Threepwood XX - March 22, 2008
SUPPOSEDLY...
It actually starts at 3:00 a.m., Pacific time, and will be televised on ESPN2.
Poppy - March 22, 2008
4 AM mountain time. So I'm told.
Probably it's on one of those ESPN stations. Maybe the second one.
thejd44 - March 22, 2008
Middle of the night
on a cable station, in Generictown.
Nico - March 22, 2008
Ask and ye shall receive... LOL
Poppy - March 22, 2008
From what I've heard
it starts at 3AM pacific time, on ESPN 2.
oblique - March 22, 2008
I just read on AN
that it starts at 3am on ESPN2.
Nico - March 22, 2008
What time zone?
oblique - March 22, 2008
Not yet determined -
The Red Sox are protesting and the game may have to move time zones.
Nico - March 22, 2008
What is Bradens look? Like the porno/dirtbag/thug look?
asfaninpismobeach - March 22, 2008
Yeah, that about nails it.

flipgatey3 - March 22, 2008
So I can get up around 5ish (CST), turn the tv on and probably
fall back to sleep til 7
kapers - March 22, 2008
And if Raphael Betancourt is pitching,
when you wake up the count will be 1-2 on the first hitter.
Nico - March 22, 2008
In that case, my son will be extremely late for school
kapers - March 22, 2008
I think your son's attendance record is safe -
The odds of Betancourt pitching for either team are slim.
Nico - March 22, 2008
Maybe some AN PTB should set up a time
for everyone to get together that evening to have a new game thread. You know, for people who don't get up early to watch it live.
Jennifer - March 22, 2008
And those who do watch it live can insert spoilers at crucial junctions.
WaddellCanseco - March 22, 2008
Is it being re-broadcast?

Yeah.

Every time you post, I hear you screaming in my head
EEEEEHH....!

But it's not a scream...
It's just a dull, lazy baritone sound.

true. I must be getting it mixed up with
EEEEEKK....!

I saw that yesterday & wanted to post it for you :)

I've seen and/or been sent that

Innumerable.
Poppy - March 22, 2008
Visit to the mound is considered insulting to
Japanese pitchers, according to Ken
kapers - March 22, 2008
I'm guessing Williams isn't Japanese...
Wild guess.
Poppy - March 22, 2008
He should just be insulted by his pitching. They were actually talking about
the sensitivity required when the BoSox aquired Dice-K. Maybe it's not an insult when it's a Japanese manager (or in this case an interpreter).
kapers - March 22, 2008
Good thing he's Australian then.
WaddellCanseco - March 22, 2008
Which Williams is this?
'cause he's throwing like Mitch...

WaddellCanseco - March 22, 2008
The Tigers fans don't look too enthused.
WaddellCanseco - March 22, 2008
Gotta love Gameday
Or maybe the rules in Japan are different... but according to Gameday, Brown walked after working the count to 6 balls and 1 strike.
ozzman99 - March 22, 2008
He really earned that one.
WaddellCanseco - March 22, 2008
No doubt
Any guy with 7 balls deserves to walk.
ozzman99 - March 22, 2008
If he can somehow manage it..
oblique - March 22, 2008
well
You sure can't ask him to run.
ozzman99 - March 22, 2008
Yeah
he'd definitely need a pinch runner.
oblique - March 22, 2008
Or a good surgeon.
Nico - March 22, 2008
This is not something we joke about.
WaddellCanseco - March 22, 2008
Not a joke
If you had 7 balls, I think you'd take the idea of surgery very seriously.
ozzman99 - March 22, 2008
Sorry, we thought all the fans
with seven testicles had logged off for the night. Again, really sorry.
Nico - March 22, 2008
It's just that sometimes surgeons don't cut what they're supposed to.
WaddellCanseco - March 22, 2008
Left, right -
some people don't have a great sense of direction, ok?
Nico - March 22, 2008
Hey.
No jokes about the directionally challenged, please.

I'm over here
Nico - March 22, 2008

Want to borrow my GPS thingy

Poppy - March 22, 2008

Yes.
So blind people can get lost just as effectively as me.
Poppy - March 22, 2008
How would I know?
I'm deaf, stupid.
Nico - March 22, 2008
Hey, would you mind
lowering the interest rates a little?
oblique - March 22, 2008
True
But we're talking about 7 nuts. As long as the doc can count, it should be ok.
ozzman99 - March 22, 2008
You want to see 7 nuts?
Come to an AN front-page writers meeting.
Nico - March 22, 2008
Ok, so these meetings...
are pants-optional, and someone has an odd number down there? TMI, Nico.
ozzman99 - March 22, 2008
Of COURSE they're not "pants optional"
louismg tried to come wearing pants once and was demoted to ANtics.
Nico - March 22, 2008
Wow
What if he left the pants behind but wore socks?
ozzman99 - March 22, 2008
Hey, I'm an educator:
No Pants Left (On Your) Behind.
Nico - March 22, 2008
Educator?
You sure you're not a priest?
ozzman99 - March 22, 2008
Gingerly.
Jennifer - March 22, 2008
1880s rules!
7 balls, 3 strikes!!
oblique - March 22, 2008
That seems like it would lead to really really long games.
drmmerchk - March 22, 2008
"Barry Zito games"
Jennifer - March 22, 2008
Not really - with the average life span
only 30 or so years, you'd run out of players pretty fast.
Nico - March 22, 2008
That's not the worst of it
Foul balls (then called foul hits) are NOT counted as strikes! And you don't get a base if you're hit by a pitch; it's just a ball.
oblique - March 22, 2008
That's not the 1880s you're describing
That's Cindi's understanding of the game today.
Nico - March 22, 2008
Clemens would've loved that
He could plunk a guy 6 times and still strike him out.
ozzman99 - March 22, 2008
Did they break for lunch after the 5th inning?
WaddellCanseco - March 22, 2008
Tea and crumpets
Nico - March 22, 2008
They just licked the pine tar off the bat
for sustenance.
oblique - March 22, 2008
well
You sure can't ask him to run.
ozzman99 - March 22, 2008
oops
ozzman99 - March 22, 2008
This chant sounds like something from "300".

The crowd sounds like it's getting pretty rowdy
considering the score.
kapers - March 22, 2008
Grounder to SS, Donnie Murphy's throw...
is wide...Dan Johnson can't keep his foot on the bag...so it's ruled a hit. Now I'm just curious what IS an error. It's 10-2 ... If there's a one-hopper back to the mound, Braden should turn and fling it into the right field bleachers - just see how they score it.
Nico - March 22, 2008
Ruling an error
is an insult to the fielder.
oblique - March 22, 2008
No, to the runner.
Poppy - March 22, 2008
Not if the official scorer is an interpreter.
WaddellCanseco - March 22, 2008
If I was the pitcher
I would be insulted for giving up the "hit".
micdog2001 - March 22, 2008
But you could not complain for fear of disrupting harmony.
WaddellCanseco - March 22, 2008
Does the "shift" mess up a defense's feng shui?
Nico - March 22, 2008
Not if the evil spirits can hit to the opposite field.
WaddellCanseco - March 22, 2008
Since I'm so late to the game
This question has probably been answered, but are the Japanese teams playing their best players?
ozzman99 - March 22, 2008
The Giants played Lee, Ramirez and started Uehara.
WaddellCanseco - March 22, 2008
She's been trying to open a channel to the Klingon ship
But so far no luck.
oblique - March 22, 2008
LOL
Poppy - March 22, 2008
No these are the Isuzu manufacturers
The good baseball players are making cars.
Nico - March 22, 2008
Bless you
I hope I'm not the only one here old enough to remember those commercials.
ozzman99 - March 22, 2008
I don't have any idea
But Lew Ford seems to be a pretty key part of this team.
thejd44 - March 22, 2008
Isuzu, Ford, whatever.
Nico - March 22, 2008
Is Barton OK?
Why is he not playing 1B? Did I miss something, or is it just because we're up 8 runs?
streetfan - March 22, 2008
I think he's fine.
Pretty much everybody has been replaced at this point.
thejd44 - March 22, 2008
LOL - I think he's fine
Do other team's fans assume a player is dead every time he's taken out of a game, or is that just us?
Nico - March 22, 2008
Yeah, good point!
Paranoid much? ;)
streetfan - March 22, 2008
I swear, every time there's a "defensive replacement,"
I go, "Oh crap - now what???"
Nico - March 22, 2008
And they reply
"Nothing, al-RIGHT??"
oblique - March 22, 2008
This wouldn't be so funny if we found out Barton was really dead.
WaddellCanseco - March 22, 2008
And had seven testicles.
Poppy - March 22, 2008
He *does* walk a lot...
oblique - March 22, 2008
But at least we'd know why he died.
Jennifer - March 22, 2008
Bad surgeon?
WaddellCanseco - March 22, 2008
Canadian gamblers?
Poppy - March 22, 2008
Just generally being an oddball?
oblique - March 22, 2008
No.
"He got good wood on it."
Jennifer - March 22, 2008
If Jack Cust had seven testicles,
he could swing his penis and still miss all seven of them. But when he finally connected, oh man...
Nico - March 22, 2008
I would think
a guy with 7 balls would have a really hard time shopping for underwear.
ozzman99 - March 22, 2008
Yeah, that'd be his biggest concern, sure.
Nico - March 22, 2008
Hence the temptation to call the surgeon. But this must be resisted.
WaddellCanseco - March 22, 2008
If I had seven balls...
I wouldn't bother wearing pants.
Jennifer - March 22, 2008
Luckily you only have five
Nico - March 22, 2008
How do you know?
WaddellCanseco - March 22, 2008
You don't have to have extra balls to go pants-less
ozzman99 - March 22, 2008
You do have problems with pants sometimes...
Poppy - March 22, 2008
That's what they used to do in 1886
Ball 7! Remove your pants!!
oblique - March 22, 2008
Rock out with your WHAT?!?
Jennifer - March 22, 2008
Well...they would also occasionally
set a rooster free every time someone walked, but I don't see what that has to do with anything.
oblique - March 22, 2008
Maybe not today
But in a few years we'd all go, remember that time a guy died in the dugout in Japan? And then we'd laugh for awhile, and then there'd be an awkward silence.
ozzman99 - March 22, 2008
And then someone would go,
"Remember how he had seven testicles?" and someone would say, "Hey dude - too soon, man."
Nico - March 22, 2008
Or...
We'd be reminded that he was an organ donor and that his seven testicles went to 3 1/2 guys who had no balls of their own.
ozzman99 - March 22, 2008
I knew a guy who was crushed by a church piano
It was kind of ironic that he was an organ donor.
Nico - March 22, 2008
Bubble wrap alert!
streetfan - March 22, 2008
players getting rest
they want to be ready for Teusday
micdog2001 - March 22, 2008
Tits DiNardo pitching now...
Poppy - March 22, 2008
Leonardo DiNardo!
oblique - March 22, 2008
Yea! We won.
WaddellCanseco - March 22, 2008
Yea, I can get some sleep now! Gotta rest up for Tuesday.
kapers - March 22, 2008
Seems to me
like half the A's players from last year changed their number, and half the new players took numbers of old players.
Earlier I thought Marco Scutaro was out there, but it was just Denorfia.
A's win A's win A's own Japan!
thejd44 - March 22, 2008
Similar to the AN handle changes..
oblique - March 22, 2008
What's with the offense this year?! Wha wha wee wah!
Sorry for the incredibly dated Borat reference.
ErikFanClubPres - March 22, 2008
This was a fun game! I'm gonna go now but hopefully I'll talk to you all next time.
drmmerchk - March 22, 2008
G'night!
Poppy - March 22, 2008
Goodnight. I won't be on here Tues morning. I'll be
following the game as I sleep.
kapers - March 22, 2008
G'night!
Poppy - March 22, 2008
Fiorentino, Denorfia and RSweeney are...
....a combined 25 for 130 on the spring through the two Japan exh. games ...a .192 BA...Gee Billy we are all pretty excited about these young studs!
insidescoop - March 22, 2008
Good night all!
It was nice to see you all again after I've been gone for so long. Now I must get some sleep.
ozzman99 - March 22, 2008
G'night!
(I think I should just stay here saying G'night until everyone's gone...)
Poppy - March 22, 2008
G'night!
EEEEEHH...!
oblique - March 22, 2008
:P~~~
Poppy - March 22, 2008
ah,
I left for a little and now everyones gone. oh well, good night if anyone is still lurking.
micdog2001 - March 22, 2008
G'night!
EEEEEHH....!
