Rain delay in Boston. A's trail 4-2 in the bottom of the 6th. Today's token, hopes-feebly-raising-before-cruelly-crushing 2-run homer courtesy of Daric Barton. I think Bob Geren and Jaymee Sire are making smoothies on Channel 36.

If broadcasting doesn't work out for her
Jaymee could have a promising career on action36.com in 30-40 years.
mikeA - August 3, 2008
Or on either of the local channels here
Prerequisite: 60 years or older.
Leopold Bloom - August 3, 2008
You haven't visited action36.com, have you?
Jennifer - August 3, 2008
Oh my god!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm going to kill you Leopold Bloom!!!! AHHHHH my eyes!!!!!!!!!
LiZaRdReVoLuTiOn - August 3, 2008
Ooops.
Forgot to add a warning.
Jennifer - August 3, 2008
That's just wrong.
You’re an evil, evil girl, Jennifer.
Leopold Bloom - August 3, 2008
Is action36.com still granny porn?
Jennifer - August 3, 2008
yes.
Leopold Bloom - August 3, 2008
Ummm yeah!
LiZaRdReVoLuTiOn - August 3, 2008
and that was Jennifer that hurt your eyes, not me.
Leopold Bloom - August 3, 2008
Yes, I'm sorry! Jennifer you have stolen my innocence and I wish to
get it back!!
LiZaRdReVoLuTiOn - August 3, 2008
Think of it as a retirement home for porn stars.
Jennifer - August 3, 2008
Jenna Jameson! lol
LiZaRdReVoLuTiOn - August 3, 2008
[throws wrench into closet]
Jennifer - August 3, 2008
Slore.

Wait. You didn't have 42 margaritas first using your new blender?
WaddellCanseco - August 3, 2008
Under age!
LiZaRdReVoLuTiOn - August 3, 2008
Then whatcha doing looking at geriatric porn?
WaddellCanseco - August 3, 2008
I thought it was the actual Action36 website. I'm not from Oakland.
LiZaRdReVoLuTiOn - August 3, 2008
You have no idea how hard I'm laughing right now
WaddellCanseco - August 3, 2008
YOu're welcome.
LiZaRdReVoLuTiOn - August 3, 2008
We all did. Once.
Jennifer - August 3, 2008
Just wait until it's your grandma.
alox - August 3, 2008
Ahhh my BRAIN!!!
LiZaRdReVoLuTiOn - August 3, 2008
If it's my grandma, we've got BIGGER problems.
One died when my father was my age, the other died when I was 10.
Jennifer - August 3, 2008
Well, that's certainly going to put
a dent in the, “action”.
alox - August 3, 2008
Apparently, it's ktvu.com
LiZaRdReVoLuTiOn - August 3, 2008
For this Rain Delay can we post the questions Jaymee would most likely ask?
LiZaRdReVoLuTiOn - August 3, 2008
Bonus Robert Buan!
We’re all so lucky…
Leopold Bloom - August 3, 2008
Damn, this blender looks pretty awesome
3 seconds? You’ve got to be kidding me. May have to get one of those. Holy crap! 3 second salsa? What a country.
mikeA - August 3, 2008
I need a blender.
and I’ve heard those magic bullets have multiple uses…
Leopold Bloom - August 3, 2008
You can make a quesadilla in like 1 second!!!
LiZaRdReVoLuTiOn - August 3, 2008
In Soviet Union, salsa makes *you* in 3 seconds!
monkeyball - August 3, 2008
that salsa's a
quick mover.
Leopold Bloom - August 3, 2008
think of the margarita possibilities!
greendatitiz - August 3, 2008
I shoulda had one o' them for my Bloody Mary earlier
monkeyball - August 3, 2008
ladies and gentlemen your las vegas atheltics!
greendatitiz - August 3, 2008
Just woke up.
How was Braden?
Kimberly - August 3, 2008
not good
jdub69 - August 3, 2008
One word to describe his performance: Flu.
LiZaRdReVoLuTiOn - August 3, 2008
or, conversely,
FU
Leopold Bloom - August 3, 2008
And they let him start?
That’s interesting.
Kimberly - August 3, 2008
Yeah, it was either him, Dan Meyer or the Green Monster.
The Green Monster said Hell to the No!!
LiZaRdReVoLuTiOn - August 3, 2008
Seemed to be doing well, I left for a bit, and suddenly he was out and the Sox had a bunch of runs..
mikeA - August 3, 2008
some may say
fast out of the gate but no stamina
A'sfaninNC - August 3, 2008
the a's need a magic bullet!
damn werwolves!
greendatitiz - August 3, 2008
and I need a garlic necklace to watch them
ak_A - August 3, 2008
yankees tie the game up against Angels
jdub69 - August 3, 2008
who started for the Yankee's?
A'sfaninNC - August 3, 2008
Someone no better than Braden
WaddellCanseco - August 3, 2008
Aw, yeah!
Coach Cleats - August 3, 2008
Haha...the NESN have a dating show called Sox Appeal...lol!!
LiZaRdReVoLuTiOn - August 3, 2008
Just switched over to the Angels/Yankees game...
...and it’s already 10 times more exciting than the A’s game.
UncleLeo - August 3, 2008
So mildly amusing then?
WaddellCanseco - August 3, 2008
In fairness the rain delay screen on MLB.tv is more exciting than watching the A's.
OldhamA - August 3, 2008
Maybe now, but wait till 2010!
WaddellCanseco - August 3, 2008
switched too....already on edge of my seat with head cocked.
ak_A - August 3, 2008
Ya know...
...I still wouldn’t like it when the A’s lost, but if they could at least make it exciting like this game is I wouldn’t feel like I had just wasted 2-3 hours of my life.
UncleLeo - August 3, 2008
C'mon, what else were you going to do, conquer K2?
OldhamA - August 3, 2008
So Buan's broadcasting live from the Luxor?!
WTF is that about?
Here’s out post-game guy, broadcasting live from the 8th best casino on the strip!
Leopold Bloom - August 3, 2008
Got to love Figgins. Error on an A-Rod grounder gifts the
Yankees a run.
OldhamA - August 3, 2008
I actually rather see the Yankees miss the playoffs than watch LAA botch mostly meaningless games.
rebus - August 3, 2008
"I would rather" yadda yadda yadda
rebus - August 3, 2008
Same here
The one time I root for the Angels they choke.
Nico - August 3, 2008
And why were you not doing this all season?!
rebus - August 3, 2008
There's a water shortage and I couldn't possibly shower enough
Nico - August 3, 2008
some day a real rain will come
and wash all the scum off the street.
Leopold Bloom - August 3, 2008
They seem clearly worse than the Red Sox and Rays
WaddellCanseco - August 3, 2008
they are
they have obvious weaknesses.
But that offense is capable of just springing to life and knocking in ten against anyone.
Leopold Bloom - August 3, 2008
Figgins, it's official...
A’s killer, Yankee enabler.
UncleLeo - August 3, 2008
Chone...
sweet, sweet Chone.
Leopold Bloom - August 3, 2008
Isn't his first name slang for men's underwear?
UncleLeo - August 3, 2008
Chones in spanish, yes it is slang, but for anyone's underwear!
LiZaRdReVoLuTiOn - August 3, 2008
That's how I pronounce it too.
Cause it’s a stupid fucking way to spell Shaun.
Leopold Bloom - August 3, 2008
Which in turn is a stupid way to spell Sean
WaddellCanseco - August 3, 2008
Which is a stupid way to spell Shawn
LiZaRdReVoLuTiOn - August 3, 2008
True.
But I think we can both agree that Chone is right out.
Leopold Bloom - August 3, 2008
Sean... as in "seen" or "bean"?
UncleLeo - August 3, 2008
No, as in Sean Gallagher.
LiZaRdReVoLuTiOn - August 3, 2008
wasn't he arrested yesterday
for robbing gas stations in suburban Chicago?
Leopold Bloom - August 3, 2008
Apparently, Sean Gallagher is also a dude that was shot in the head...
another one was arrested for robbery, murder, etc….Do the A’s do a profile on their players before they grab ‘em?
LiZaRdReVoLuTiOn - August 3, 2008
Ah, ok.
I thought it was just men’s. I stand corrected. There’s my bi-lingual lesson for the day. LOL!
UncleLeo - August 3, 2008
Hey not bad!! I was going to mention it a few weeks ago but then I was like
nah UncleLeo will do it sometime later!
LiZaRdReVoLuTiOn - August 3, 2008
Glad I could come through in the clutch for ya. LOL!
UncleLeo - August 3, 2008
wow, blown dp opportunity
ak_A - August 3, 2008
If the Angels had played all year like they're playing
in the bottom of the 8th, the A’s would still be in the race. Fighting Texas.
Nico - August 3, 2008
Allll-reeeet!
just checking in to say, Ellis has another hit today, and his (to be, on last game of year) 57-game hitting streak, to break Joe DiMaggio’s 56-game-never-can-be-broken streak, is still intact!!
out, that is all!
One won lost won - August 3, 2008
Farnsworth gave up two HRs and Rays lead 4-3
Hinske and Upton
WaddellCanseco - August 3, 2008
nice trade.
Leopold Bloom - August 3, 2008
Embree alert.
Leopold Bloom - August 3, 2008
Rain delay over?
OldhamA - August 3, 2008

Leopold Bloom - August 3, 2008
LOL, we all moved on
UncleLeo - August 3, 2008
Its back on

lynnzgal - August 3, 2008
um, yes.
Yes it is.
Leopold Bloom - August 3, 2008
Let's do it!!
LiZaRdReVoLuTiOn - August 3, 2008
Yay Alan!
WaddellCanseco - August 3, 2008
Do you really mean that?
LiZaRdReVoLuTiOn - August 3, 2008
Sure, strikeout and short fly
WaddellCanseco - August 3, 2008
Three quick outs. That's good.
WaddellCanseco - August 3, 2008
I don't know if this is good or not.
That they’re playing again, I mean.
UncleLeo - August 3, 2008
Embree has icewater running through his veins,
But apparently that thick blue liquid used to clean combs running through his pitches.
Leopold Bloom - August 3, 2008
Actually, not bad.
By Embree there.
Leopold Bloom - August 3, 2008
The run was Bowen's fault.
Let’s PH for him.
WaddellCanseco - August 3, 2008
Guys!! Code Blue!!!!!
LiZaRdReVoLuTiOn - August 3, 2008
it's sad how
Pavlovian beer commercials are. The advertising companies don’t think very highly of men in general.
Leopold Bloom - August 3, 2008
You're saying they don't work?
WaddellCanseco - August 3, 2008
oh no,
they do. Still sad when you think about it. We’re just kind of checked out while watching television, maybe.
Leopold Bloom - August 3, 2008
Just the advertising companies?
alox - August 3, 2008
good point.
Leopold Bloom - August 3, 2008
Oh, don't get me started...
...I completely agree they don’t think highly of men. Unfortunately, there must be some truth to it, lest they’d do something else.
UncleLeo - August 3, 2008
I do think it has a lot to do
with men in general having a cave mentality while at home and kind of turning off while watching sports.
Leopold Bloom - August 3, 2008
More semi-naked women.
That’s what we need. It’s really not that difficult.
alox - August 3, 2008
Yes, there just aren't enough of them. Sad really.
WaddellCanseco - August 3, 2008
Glass half-full, buddy.
There may not be as many semi-naked women as you’d like, but there sure are an awful lot of them. I for one am grateful for nature’s bounty.
iglew - August 3, 2008
Gak.
This was suppose to be over before I returned home. Cruel. Very very cruel.
alox - August 3, 2008
rain delay.
sorry. we tried.
Leopold Bloom - August 3, 2008
Yay Bob!
WaddellCanseco - August 3, 2008
Is that Crosby's second walk of the day? This has got to be his most
productive outing for a while.
OldhamA - August 3, 2008
that's a sad statement.
we really, without hyperbole, need a new SS.
Leopold Bloom - August 3, 2008
Mazetta garlic-stuffed green olives...
...Yum!
UncleLeo - August 3, 2008
+1
Leopold Bloom - August 3, 2008
Don't tease, everywhere's shut, I'm starving and there's nothing in.
OldhamA - August 3, 2008
Where do you live?
No midnight food?
WaddellCanseco - August 3, 2008
I gotta go quite a distance for anything after 10pm too.
No Safeway here.
Leopold Bloom - August 3, 2008
Diners?
WaddellCanseco - August 3, 2008
there's a Denny's or two.
Leopold Bloom - August 3, 2008
There's only one store...
...here in Iowa (that I’ve been able to find) that carries Mezetta olives.
UncleLeo - August 3, 2008
I live in Lancashire. Everywhere is closed at this time on a Sunday.
I’d have to go a good 12 miles for food, and it’d be the takeaway variety.
OldhamA - August 3, 2008
Sounds like a failure of entreprenurship
WaddellCanseco - August 3, 2008
Where I live wouldn't warrant somewhere being open at this time.
Plus there’s trading laws.
OldhamA - August 3, 2008
Isn't Lancashire...
...a town made famous in The Beatles’ A Day In The Life?
UncleLeo - August 3, 2008
Not a town.
iglew - August 3, 2008
It's a county!
Lancashire.
You’re thinking of Blackburn, Lancashire…..which has 4,000 holes apparently (incidentally the name of the football team’s fanzine).
OldhamA - August 3, 2008
Are you a Rovers fan?
WaddellCanseco - August 3, 2008
Yep.
OldhamA - August 3, 2008
Cool.
WaddellCanseco - August 3, 2008
Yes...
...one of my all-time favorite songs, but I haven’t listened to it in so long the lyrics escaped me. I just kept think Lancashire and a bunch of holes.
UncleLeo - August 3, 2008
My uncle brought over a truck full of corn on the cob.
You want some?
Jennifer - August 3, 2008
yes, please.
Two things (and only two things) that the midwest beats the west coast for: corn and tomatoes.
Leopold Bloom - August 3, 2008
And we had both for lunch!
We’re canning the corn as we type.
Jennifer - August 3, 2008
Uh . . .
Brentwood?
lynnzgal - August 3, 2008
Brentwood?
Leopold Bloom - August 3, 2008
Got 'em both
picked ‘em myself.
lynnzgal - August 3, 2008
any good?
Leopold Bloom - August 3, 2008
Delish!
lynnzgal - August 3, 2008
Hmmm.
You’ll have to show me. I’ll withhold judgment.
Leopold Bloom - August 3, 2008
Will do.
lynnzgal - August 3, 2008
I mean, if you're still speaking to me.
Leopold Bloom - August 3, 2008
which apparently you're not.
Leopold Bloom - August 3, 2008
Huh?
lynnzgal - August 3, 2008
I never understood the appeal of corn on the cob
I love corn, but when they leave it on the cob it’s just more work and more waste.
iglew - August 3, 2008
if it's right, though
it’s delicious. It’s kinda like steak with a bone—it’s more work, but it just tastes better.
Leopold Bloom - August 3, 2008
8 gallons of butter, salt and pepper....
It ain’t good ‘til you get it on ya.
Jennifer - August 3, 2008
Oh yeah!
Dribbling down the chin, fantastic!
lynnzgal - August 3, 2008
action36.com?
Jennifer - August 3, 2008
Hahaha!
lynnzgal - August 3, 2008
I would like to take that post back.
Jennifer - August 3, 2008
Too late!
lynnzgal - August 3, 2008
Sadly,
that would probably be drool dribbling down the chin….
alox - August 3, 2008
And you can cut it off the cob.
Jennifer - August 3, 2008
I do.
In spite of the ridicule from family members.
But like I said: more work
iglew - August 3, 2008
Bowen has my permission to bat here.
WaddellCanseco - August 3, 2008
But apparently not Geren's
WaddellCanseco - August 3, 2008
Okay Ry!
Do it!
lynnzgal - August 3, 2008

Leopold Bloom - August 3, 2008
Sadly,

It's Pam's fault.
alox - August 3, 2008
he won't maintain his current level of production, right?
Leopold Bloom - August 3, 2008
I hope the rumors weren't true about
the Cardinals offering Colby Rasmus for Harden and Sweeney, because given the A’s desperate need for a real right-handed hitter I think that’s a trade you’d have to make..
Nico - August 3, 2008
I can't imagine the Cardinals making that offer.
WaddellCanseco - August 3, 2008
Would you trade Sweeney before Buck?
Would you trade Sweeney to open a spot for Dunn, Manny or Burrell?
WaddellCanseco - August 3, 2008
I'd trade either to open up a spot for any
Though I don’t think adding an aging veteran in Manny or Burrell is probably the right way to go. Adding Bay and extending him would have been, IMO, and adding Dunn would be a lot better than not adding him.
Nico - August 3, 2008
I'm hoping for Dunn. He's the youngest and most Cust-like.
WaddellCanseco - August 3, 2008
Rasmus is left handed.

Nah, Geren just wants to keep it close. We have the heart of our order up next.....
OldhamA - August 3, 2008
God Troy Percival sucks
Two home runs and screws his team
Trainman - August 3, 2008

Still tops of 10th and Percival trying to make sure they do lose
2 more on and 1 out after leadoff home run by Miguel Cabrera

Why would I want to fog a...
oh.
oblique - August 3, 2008
Now you've got me curious...
but I’m not gonna do it.
ZigFan31 - August 3, 2008
best not
you remember what happened to the curious cat.
Leopold Bloom - August 3, 2008
Have a drink or 12 first.
WaddellCanseco - August 3, 2008
but then it starts looking good...
Leopold Bloom - August 3, 2008
You've tried that?
WaddellCanseco - August 3, 2008
(perverted, drunken , self-loathing panda)
Leopold Bloom - August 3, 2008
Hey, it works for A's games...
oblique - August 3, 2008
remarkably similar experience
perverted optimism, self-loathing, followed immediately afterward with disbelief in the depths one can sink to…
Leopold Bloom - August 3, 2008
And then going right back for more.
I mean…uh…
I’ll be in my bunk.
oblique - August 3, 2008
it's okay
you’re among friends here.
We understand. We’re watching/listening to this game as well.
Leopold Bloom - August 3, 2008
(sad panda)
Leopold Bloom - August 3, 2008
that was an awesome game.
Leopold Bloom - August 3, 2008
Yay Jack!
And they say walks are useless.
WaddellCanseco - August 3, 2008
Not to worry,
I’m sure this one will be.
alox - August 3, 2008
Sigh.
WaddellCanseco - August 3, 2008
They are for this team, because you never advance past 1st base.
theblackpearl - August 3, 2008
SJ 3, LA 2
Maybe the home team gets to celebrate a win at McAfee
buddahead9 - August 3, 2008
So is Meyer going to be a RP or a SP?
A'sfaninNC - August 3, 2008
Maybe that means they are going to call up Gio
or they are giving Meyer an inning
Trainman - August 3, 2008
Eveland's spot doesn't come for a little while, so I assume this won't prevent Meyer from making it
mikeA - August 3, 2008
Unless he pitches 7 innings in relief
WaddellCanseco - August 3, 2008
if it's just an inning, it's almost like a regular side session.
rebus - August 3, 2008
My guess also
If Meyer pitches only one inning, I don’t see it being an issue.
UncleLeo - August 3, 2008
When was Davis' last at bat? He seems to be on the gravy train here:
fly around the country, pick up a considerable pay package and pinch run now and again.
OldhamA - August 3, 2008
Yesterday?
WaddellCanseco - August 3, 2008
We're back to Beatle tunes again?
alox - August 3, 2008
Help!
UncleLeo - August 3, 2008
Everybody's got something to hide
‘cept for me and my monkey.
Leopold Bloom - August 3, 2008
It's getting better all the time?
alox - August 3, 2008
Lizard likes "When I'm 64"
WaddellCanseco - August 3, 2008
Will you still need me?
Leopold Bloom - August 3, 2008
action36
WaddellCanseco - August 3, 2008
lol
LiZaRdReVoLuTiOn - August 3, 2008
Laughter is the best medicine
WaddellCanseco - August 3, 2008
Ok then to answer this question "When will the A's win again?" i will use
Someday
A'sfaninNC - August 3, 2008
crap i cant type today or get my Beatles songs right
A'sfaninNC - August 3, 2008
Dana Eveland as
The Fool on the Hill
iglew - August 3, 2008
He does seem to be keeping a low-profile lately...
...then again, they haven’t needed a single run that would make any kind of a difference in quite awhile.
UncleLeo - August 3, 2008
Jason Bartlett fails trying to bunt
Hold sthe bat out to bunt and gets hit on the index finger (sandwich) and had to leave the game. Bleeding pretty bad. Painfil watching it. Strike 1 to new batter
Trainman - August 3, 2008
It's strange seeing Manny
with a helmet not covered in pine tar.
buddahead9 - August 3, 2008
why not let Petit get some ABs?
mikeA - August 3, 2008
Because we love our bench players being stone cold when called upon.
OldhamA - August 3, 2008
I'm cool with him not facing Papelbon, but otherwise I don't know.
rebus - August 3, 2008
Shouldn't we save Emil for an RBI situation?
WaddellCanseco - August 3, 2008
In about another week, then
theblackpearl - August 3, 2008
qotm
alox - August 3, 2008
No hes up trying to get that rare 4 run homer with no one on base
A'sfaninNC - August 3, 2008
It's always an RBI situation with Brown. He's such a dynamic hitter.
OldhamA - August 3, 2008
Isn't he up now?
WaddellCanseco - August 3, 2008
Now Riggans gets drilled in chest and is having trouble breathing
95 mph right in middle of chest
Trainman - August 3, 2008
Far more exciting than this game.
OldhamA - August 3, 2008
KK:
“Did you see anything? I didn’t see anything wrong with Crosby…”
Other than the fact he’s a poor baseball player?
Leopold Bloom - August 3, 2008
Correction. He's a lousy ball player....
not a poor one at all.
alox - August 3, 2008
What was the point of PH with E Brown there
A'sfaninNC - August 3, 2008
What is the point
Has become the A’s new team motto
cvdoug - August 3, 2008
That would be a good sig line
WaddellCanseco - August 3, 2008
i was typing the same thing
A'sfaninNC - August 3, 2008
KK:
“It’s beginning to feel like ‘97, ‘98…”
Leopold Bloom - August 3, 2008
Did they ever go 2-15?
WaddellCanseco - August 3, 2008
I'm sure.
Those were lean years.
Leopold Bloom - August 3, 2008
He overlooked May, 2005
Nico - August 3, 2008
Time for a walk
Must.Clear.Head.
lynnzgal - August 3, 2008
sigh
vooya40 - August 3, 2008
That about sums it up.
Time to stick a pencil in my eye.
alox - August 3, 2008
i shall go and do that
vooya40 - August 3, 2008
And...
we once again go quietly into that good night.
Leopold Bloom - August 3, 2008
Hmmmm,
I think I’m gonna go watch The Tudors this time.
Kimberly - August 3, 2008
I'm gonna go
check out action36.com…
Leopold Bloom - August 3, 2008
good luck and god bless
you may need it
A'sfaninNC - August 3, 2008
What's the history behind the name?
OldhamA - August 3, 2008
Perversion.
alox - August 3, 2008
i remember the "perfect 36"
ak_A - August 3, 2008
Only if she's 5'3"
iglew - August 3, 2008
What did all three games in Fenway have in common?
Each day we scored on exactly one swing.
Nico - August 3, 2008
Consistency!
oblique - August 3, 2008
Watching the A's commercial
with Street pitching to a kid…..I keep expecting to see the kid take him deep into the next neighborhood.
alox - August 3, 2008
Instead of win some lose some i submit this as the new outlook on A's games
win a couple, lose 15+
A'sfaninNC - August 3, 2008
60% baseball 40% of the time
That’s 100%! (New Math)
Nico - August 3, 2008
I must say, I'm growing fonder of Fernando Rodney
by the second.
Nico - August 3, 2008
lol..you watching him impode too?
ZigFan31 - August 3, 2008
implode
ZigFan31 - August 3, 2008
Only on "Gameday"
Nico - August 3, 2008
That was a battle of two teams that could use Huston Street
Nico - August 3, 2008
I'm pretty pleased that Ziggy and Blevins are gonna get a chance to close.
Assuming we have some save situations coming up.
ZigFan31 - August 3, 2008
awww too bad, just got back, and was hoping for good news
ak_A - August 3, 2008
I recommend alcohol.
oblique - August 3, 2008
ahh, super special festive extra innings from vegas
ak_A - August 3, 2008
