Any updates on trading

Street or Embree?

I think yesterday Embree's price went down (again)
To what?
I just see

Embree, Street, Crosby, etc. on a grocery store shelf, with the price tags continually marked down….

Big orange sticker on Embree’s forehead “PRICED TO SELL”

A buck $2.98

oy!

I'm just wondering

what it’s going to cost us to get rid of him.

It seems like

LaRoche for Street is all set to go now that Blake was traded!

Can we bring

“Joey” with us to this thread?

Yo

I’m assuming you’re going to be very disappointed when you find out that I’m a 24-year-old lifelong dude without a rack. But! You may be happy to know that you can see plenty of pictures just like the one I posted on hotchickswithdouchebags.com.

Wow, that sounded like a spam ad.

I know tabithia...

I’ve just giving you a hard time. How tall are you?

5'9"

But I have man hands.

WOW!

I was RIGHT when I guessed the guy in the middle was a douchebag!

Mom?
Mom?
Sorry, getting called a douchebag brings me back to my youth
So, you WERE the guy in the middle?
I wish

I think I could bench press 30 pounds if I had a few dozen Red Bulls first.

Only if Emil homers.
Oh, and, uh

porn starlet.
Bingo bango

I’m with DB1, it hasn’t gotten any better than Librarian Hott.

Okay...

The hand on her butt… her’s? His?

The guy in the back needs a bra, bra.

And less nipple rings
It looks like someone attached that chain around his neck

to his nipples and dragged him around for a few hours. Or, he breast fed his child.

Nipple rings

should be a strictly female adornment.

+1

unless you’re a gay masochist.

Not that there's anything wrong with that
Need to be identifiable

to the tops.

That is,

I’ll admit, assuming all masochists are bottoms, which might not be true. But I can’t imagine too many masochist tops…

Dallas Braden's don't look bad.

But this guy…? Yuck. His torso looks like Danny Bonaduce’s.

Til the child was 12

And 340 pounds.

those are some quality douchebags
Especially Shifty Shellshock on the left, there

To his barber: “What can you do to make me look more like a douchier Flea?”

Well he hit the ball hard but no luck for Emil
OK, NEW new AN Saturday policy

Back to ignoring and mocking Emil.

Some things never go out of style.
Cotroneo mentioned that Thomas and MSweeney

might be activated soon, to “bring reinforcements over the hill”

might be more accurate to say that such reinforcements are “over the hill”

qotm
Already had it down. :)
hey, the A's have only struck out once today...

and have walked 3 times. They should be winning, shouldn’t they?

oh well, BoCro struck out swinging while I was typing...

2 K’s… course, the games not over yet. They could still get to 10, I guess.

Working right now and attempting to keep tabs on the game

BoCroSombrero yet?

And no doubt Texas will

Oh..wait, you meant the A’s? Bwaaaa

nice thread, monkeyball
It's come to that?
DFA Crosby!!!
Cotroneo

Earlier he mentioned that the “Bases are loaded for Crosby” as if his mom had just set dinner out on the table and Bobby was gonna eat. Bahhhhh

I'm glad Cotroneo is never on mlb.tv
He's improved

I don’t mind him. He works well with Kenko, IMO

I wish Crosby was never on mlb.tv
I wouldn't mind if he were playing for the opponent
We got this one

we’re only down 6..we got two innings—-c’mon guy!

Yay!!!!

You're killing my negativity buzz
Yay!!!!

Go A’s!!!!

Yay!!!!

Ha

I have to be sufficiently angry to get on a game thread usually

but my optimism bubble has officially burst

Are we sure this game isn't in run-happy Arlington?
Only when the Rangers are batting.
KK and Ray

discuss grooming habits.

I want one of those Supercuts buzzcuts
So does Jennifer.
I am seriously considering cutting all my hair off.
Mine made the decision for me
I did it yesterday.

If I would have known it was free…

I was just discussing this with my roommate

I could wear a hat for the next 4 months, what the hell.

If you shave your head

you’ll only know if your head is okay for it or not. A buzz cut though…eh, no big deal.

I might consider keeping my head shaved if I could keep it from breaking out. Plus, women don’t normally like it.

I try and keep my hair buzzed

all summer. Just because I’m lazy. Love combing my hair with a towel.

it's significantly easier, most def.

I just don’t have any good clippers…either my ex took them or I sold them when I left CA…

It's a big commitment

And I’ve never had it done before. Then again, I ain’t got nobody to impress.

A's and Rangers

Were skeptical hitting and pitching meets, exceptional hitting.

Why do they tease us?
Yay Jack!

(gives Murton dirty look)

Hannahan must feel the

cold hand of Billy Beane reaching out to touch someone.

Evil is near Jack. Very near.

anyone else getting weird modulations on MLB audio?
Careful. You might get brainwashed.
you wearing your tin foil hat?
No more than usual

There’s always a weird sound like a metal whisk in a metal bowl, but I usually don’t hear it unless I have the volume all the way up.

Well, this should be all over shortly.

Will we ever win again?

Does it matter?
We won once this week ,didn't we?

I think…

Hamilton's just a beast.
Whee! It's comeback time!
Ellie feels the evil hand

of Beane fixing to extend also.

Does BB

have one good hand and one evil hand?

No balls

and two strikes. The A’s summed up right there.

well, that's over
Email popped it up to end the game.

Blech.

Two Grand Slames to Win

A man can dream.

That was... well, that was ugly

Thanks anyway, Duke.

Dear Billy,

I liked my life a lot more when this team was good.
Sincerely,
A’s fans everywhere

I hope the Rangers win the West.

At least they’re trying!

They look like they'll win it a few times in the coming years
Over the past few years, Mariners fans rooted for us

to beat the Angels. Is that how we’re going to be with the Rangers now?

It must be.

The Mariners are the only team more pathetic than us.

Personally

I’m rooting for the cubbies or the Brew Crew to win the World Series now…...screw the Angels, Red Sox, Yankees, everyone else etc…
