Despite 9 Ks from Gio through 5 IP (tying a career high), it's 4-0 Red People halfway home courtesy of a Juan Rivera ball that cleared the fence by less than the amount of fingernail it takes to scratch the blackboard of my very soul. Biff Clankington has also chimed in on my last nerve with an errant throw home allowing Kendry Morales, pictured above at Sea World Anaheim, to steal home even though he makes Bengie Molina seem like Lou Brock.

HI Y'ALL
emperor nobody - October 2, 2009
blingy!
sirbed - October 2, 2009
sparkly, shiny!
lynnzgal - October 2, 2009
sparkly A's will now score runz
Deborah51 - October 2, 2009
you are cute!
OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
Space pimp?
ElQuesoCapitan - October 2, 2009
all the kids are doing it.
Leopold Bloom - October 2, 2009
Vintage Gio outing:
5IP, 9K, and a 7.20 ERA.
Nico - October 2, 2009
am I wrong or are K's overrated for starting pitchers?
sirbed - October 2, 2009
Earned Runs are overrated. K's are nice.
ElQuesoCapitan - October 2, 2009
I think you're wrong
Letting guys hit the ball generally means letting them get on base more than you want.
Nick - October 2, 2009
Can we get some runs please
doctorK - October 2, 2009
so, what does it say about my maturity level
that I’d like to spend my evening listening to 70s rock music and playing Plants vs. Zombies?
Oh, roomy.
Leopold Bloom - October 2, 2009
that you don't live with a woman is what it says
sirbed - October 2, 2009
oh. yeah. that.
Leopold Bloom - October 2, 2009
No, its says you're living with the wrong one.
lynnzgal - October 2, 2009
That you're embracing the child in you?
And how is that bad?
lynnzgal - October 2, 2009
not at all.
Leopold Bloom - October 2, 2009
Agreed.
I do whenever possible.
lynnzgal - October 2, 2009
A's Back in Black
Hit4TheCycle - October 2, 2009

Leopold Bloom - October 2, 2009

ak_A - October 2, 2009
sht, foul. jeebus
ak_A - October 2, 2009
Got damn it!
Nick - October 2, 2009
Sorry, left out a "t" there
Nick - October 2, 2009
Got damn tit?
iglew - October 2, 2009
that was close
cuppingmaster - October 2, 2009
and it's foul
of course
sirbed - October 2, 2009
now that was a tease
OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
Juuuuuust Foul
Hit4TheCycle - October 2, 2009
dang
doctorK - October 2, 2009
come on down to my place, baby, and we'll talk about love.
Leopold Bloom - October 2, 2009
so close.
ElQuesoCapitan - October 2, 2009
yet so far away
sirbed - October 2, 2009
FEAR CARSON!
cityplANner - October 2, 2009
you spelled fail wrong.
ElQuesoCapitan - October 2, 2009
lol
doctorK - October 2, 2009
Good news
slegnA will probably pull Spicoli out of the game after this inning
doctorK - October 2, 2009
where's Mr. Hand when you need him?
cityplANner - October 2, 2009
gross.
ElQuesoCapitan - October 2, 2009
I thought Spicoli was busy winning Oscars
sirbed - October 2, 2009
hopefully
they will put in Mr. Hand and then we’ll have a chance.
emperor nobody - October 2, 2009
And then he'll get some pizza delivered to the dugout
Nick - October 2, 2009
This is where pennington should drill a homer off mt davis.
ElQuesoCapitan - October 2, 2009
wrong side.
ElQuesoCapitan - October 2, 2009
OOPS.
ElQuesoCapitan - October 2, 2009
wait a minute, I'm confused. WHAT THE FUCK DOES IT LOOK LIKE AGAIN.
ElQuesoCapitan - October 2, 2009
*over* Mt. Davis
cityplANner - October 2, 2009
that would be cool
sirbed - October 2, 2009
Mountain Shot
ElQuesoCapitan - October 2, 2009
look on the bright side:
we already have 3 hits, and it’s only the 5th inning! Sweet!
whiteshoes40 - October 2, 2009
For you,
my AN family.
I love you.
Leopold Bloom - October 2, 2009
I'd say thanks Bloom
but I’m not sure I’d mean it
sirbed - October 2, 2009
oh, you know you love it.
Watch that shit. She’s selling the shit out of it!
Leopold Bloom - October 2, 2009
are you saying I love the nightlife
and I love to boogie on the dance floor tonight
sirbed - October 2, 2009
well, we all do.
Leopold Bloom - October 2, 2009
Only if you're at the DISCO
BERRYJO - October 2, 2009
the disco rocks.
Leopold Bloom - October 2, 2009
Is that David Bowie?
cityplANner - October 2, 2009
one of the comments guessed Billy Idol's mom.
Leopold Bloom - October 2, 2009
Okay.
I’m a bad mommy for procrastinating on dinner, so I must go for a bit.
I expect my September boys to get their asses back in here RIGHT NOW! Or I will have to kick some ass! Score some runs!
lynnzgal - October 2, 2009
woof!
Leopold Bloom - October 2, 2009
Isn't your kid like 17 or something?
He should make his own damn dinner.
iglew - October 2, 2009
....
….
Leopold Bloom - October 2, 2009
He does.
And he makes me dinner too. He wants to be a chef.
But I really don’t mind. He’ll be gone from me soon enough. I still treasure the opportunity
lynnzgal - October 2, 2009
good attitude!
Leopold Bloom - October 2, 2009
Oh, in that case I take it back.
Hey, all you college kids out there who still live with your parents: When was the last time you cooked dinner for your mom?
iglew - October 2, 2009
So will this be the LALA team
That will go far or be another first round disappointment?
Hit4TheCycle - October 2, 2009
I hope so
Although, that means the Red Sox would advance.
Ewwwww, I hate the post season when the A’s aren’t in it.
doctorK - October 2, 2009
i think the sox will smoke them
but that could be the optimist in me
cuppingmaster - October 2, 2009
Love the way we see the new threads and are welcomed to them
EN – you’re the best!! LOVE the Kendry portrait too
BERRYJO - October 2, 2009
ugh penny fail
cuppingmaster - October 2, 2009
i think our boys are tired
OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
they haven't won since saturday
and i went on sunday. i must be a jinx.
cuppingmaster - October 2, 2009
come up here and un-jinx it
OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
that would virtally assure a sweep...lol
no, but i hope to make some games at the coli next year
cuppingmaster - October 2, 2009
c'mon, you can stay at my house
OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
i'll keep that in mind for next year ;-)
cuppingmaster - October 2, 2009
go pep them up. :(
ElQuesoCapitan - October 2, 2009
this is a sad, sad game so far
Deborah51 - October 2, 2009
but i love the A's, Go A's!!! win or lose
OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
I think you mean sad,sad season so far
sirbed - October 2, 2009

Get your shotgun, LB.
doctorK - October 2, 2009
I'm supposed to go see that on Sunday.
Leopold Bloom - October 2, 2009
Woody and Zombies
I smell Oscar
sirbed - October 2, 2009
plus George Michael.
Leopold Bloom - October 2, 2009
oh so a grammy for the soundtrack as well
and maybe an incident in a bathroom
sirbed - October 2, 2009
wrong George michael.
Leopold Bloom - October 2, 2009
there's more than one?
sirbed - October 2, 2009
no, it's not Michael Cera
it’s a Michael Cera doppleganger
cityplANner - October 2, 2009
really?!
it’s not him?!
Did they clone him?!
Leopold Bloom - October 2, 2009
Brother BJ hit for the sysle tonight.
Leopold Bloom - October 2, 2009
translate
ak_A - October 2, 2009
sysle kinda equals cycle.
too much cough syrup….
Leopold Bloom - October 2, 2009
and BJ
ak_A - October 2, 2009
Hey - we're so winning the Blog Posting war with HH.
500+ posts to like 200. Go AN!!
BERRYJO - October 2, 2009
ya but a 100 of those are mine
and I don’t think they count
sirbed - October 2, 2009
That will probably change next week
doctorK - October 2, 2009
It's to keep up with the illusion
That they’re doing something else this Fri night.
Hit4TheCycle - October 2, 2009
You have to take into account
that about 2/3 of their membership is working on that “typing the complete works of William Shakespeare” project.
Nick - October 2, 2009
Does anyone think that
magically, somehow, the tigers will be the AL WS rep and the yankees, sox, and slegnA will all get eliminated?
cuppingmaster - October 2, 2009
ideally, the AL wouldn't have a WS rep this year.
Two NL teams can just play each other. Seems like a good alternative to having any of the 4 probable AL teams there…
whiteshoes40 - October 2, 2009
i don't mind the tigers
it’s the others i have a problem with.
cuppingmaster - October 2, 2009
too close to 2006 for me.
I’m rooting for the Twins.
Leopold Bloom - October 2, 2009
Can't root for a team that plays in the Metrodome
I’ll reconsider my Twinkies hatred next season.
Nick - October 2, 2009
you're probably a better person than me.
I’m still a little bitter about 2006.
whiteshoes40 - October 2, 2009
gmta
Leopold Bloom - October 2, 2009
me too
but i still hate the slegnA, sux, and fankees more
cuppingmaster - October 2, 2009
Yeah it was sad about the Olympic Games
But Chicago will always have the largest summer gathering of amateur athletes, The Chicago Cubs!!
You don’t have to wait every 4 years to see that spectacle.
Hit4TheCycle - October 2, 2009
LOL!
cuppingmaster - October 2, 2009
So I'm tunin' in....but I'm not entirely sure why.
Why am I watching this again?
GreenNGoldSooner - October 2, 2009
okay, you can leave. night.
ak_A - October 2, 2009
Because you love us
and the A’s. And b/c we have the best colors in MLB
BERRYJO - October 2, 2009
That's more like it.
Though, in fact, black is not among the best colors in baseball. And it doesn’t belong on A’s uniforms.
GreenNGoldSooner - October 2, 2009
I really don't like these black unis
BERRYJO - October 2, 2009
And yet, that is not enough
to make me a Packers fan.
iglew - October 2, 2009
their green's a bit...off...
Leopold Bloom - October 2, 2009
True.
Best green in the NFL is the Jets. (Or a least it was 10 years ago. I don’t know if that’s changed.)
iglew - October 2, 2009
I like their green.
agrd.
Leopold Bloom - October 2, 2009
I like green in my wallet

Leopold Bloom - October 2, 2009
Heroin
I wasn’t doing heroin or any kind of drug.
Rated-R Superstar - October 2, 2009
nono,
just muling it.
To be a dope man, boy, you must qualify: don’t get high off your own supply.
Leopold Bloom - October 2, 2009
hey rated-r!
when is the cal game tomorrow?
OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
The California Game
We’re playing USC at 5:00 p.m. Pacific on ABC.
Rated-R Superstar - October 2, 2009
is the Usc's fresh QB playing?
Leopold Bloom - October 2, 2009
Matt Barkley
He’s playing tomorrow night.
Rated-R Superstar - October 2, 2009
The undercard game after the main event at 12:30
UCLA at Stanfurd
doctorK - October 2, 2009
at cal or usc?
OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
California
We’re at home.
Rated-R Superstar - October 2, 2009
think Cal can win?
Leopold Bloom - October 2, 2009
California
We can definitely win this game. We’re at home and the season is on the line. If we don’t win, we can’t win the Pac-10 and we’re also not ranked anymore with a bye week coming up. I know we can do this and I’m feeling pretty confident right now.
Rated-R Superstar - October 2, 2009
cal will win
OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
It's my life, and it's my wife
doctorK - October 2, 2009
dammit, got it backwards
doctorK - October 2, 2009
i think he's trying to steal the other guys' green
cuppingmaster - October 2, 2009
I rooted for them the year they had Ken O'Brien
They started something like 10-1 and then totally choked the rest of the season.

UC Davis
They’re going to get smacked around really, really hard by Boise State tomorrow.
Rated-R Superstar - October 2, 2009
Boise State's brutal.
Leopold Bloom - October 2, 2009
I live in Boise
cool Chris Peterson and Dan Hawkins connection here…and yes, major smackdown shall ensue
skutch - October 2, 2009
No shocker there
doctorK - October 2, 2009
UC Davis-Boise State
The spread for the game hasn’t even been posted yet. It should be around 47 points or something, though.

I kinda wish he did so he would hit some DINGERS.

OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
YEA. BOI.
ElQuesoCapitan - October 2, 2009

Me?
GreenNGoldSooner - October 2, 2009
oh!
for some reason, wearing A’s hats is the new hipster thing to do in the LA hipster-warrens of Echo Park and Silverlake. It has led to some odd conversation with people that know absolutely nothing about baseball
cityplANner - October 2, 2009
Stupid hipsters
Nick - October 2, 2009
black hats or the normal color combination?
i remember yellow yankees hats were it for awhile
cuppingmaster - October 2, 2009
the standard home hats
green hat, yellow bill
cityplANner - October 2, 2009
start making up nasty rumors.
“Oh, well up in Oakland, wearing that kind of hat means you’re into scat…”
“People who wear those in Oakland are member of the Vice Lords…”
Leopold Bloom - October 2, 2009
it's the Moneyball movie viral marketing scheme
stormtown - October 2, 2009
It's not cool to be wearing Raider stuff anymore

The games are a mcguffin
This, alcohol, and gambling are the lifeblood of the NFL.

That's what Al Davis seems to be banking on.
GreenNGoldSooner - October 2, 2009
good grief.
We’ve been so good for the past few weeks. Where did all this suck come from?!
whiteshoes40 - October 2, 2009
I suppose after the whole Al Davis thing
I don’t think any team could be in a worse situation, not even the A’s.
Hit4TheCycle - October 2, 2009
well, it really wouldn't have mattered if rajai didn't GIDP. kurt could do that just as easily.

Hey guys
Looking forward to an early flameout from the Slegna! Had to watch some HS football but am hoping for the comeback…

Hola senorita
ohtobe21likehuston - October 2, 2009

OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
Just settling in for the game
Got an iphone today and now I understand the hype.
ohtobe21likehuston - October 2, 2009
cool, guess i'll have to get one eventually
OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
You will wonder what you did without it!!
BERRYJO - October 2, 2009
Pretty damn cool invention
ohtobe21likehuston - October 2, 2009
Be sure to get Sports Tap or Sportacular
BERRYJO - October 2, 2009
I'll have to check it out
I’m overwhelmed at this point
ohtobe21likehuston - October 2, 2009
The first week I had mine - my minutes and data transfers were off the hook!!
I had so much fun. I have 4 1/2 pages of apps now!!

whiteshoes40 - October 2, 2009
i can give it some sparkles. :(
ElQuesoCapitan - October 2, 2009
Will it make us feel better about this game??
then do it!
BERRYJO - October 2, 2009
haha

whiteshoes40 - October 2, 2009

car question: what do you guys think about corvettes?
i’m sort of wanting one (no not red)
is that a bad idea?
OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
Not a fan
but you should get one if it makes YOU happy :-)
ohtobe21likehuston - October 2, 2009
good answer
I concur.
Personally, I get happiness about having plenty of savings, and don’t care much about my car as long as it works.
iglew - October 2, 2009
agrd.
except the savings part.
Leopold Bloom - October 2, 2009
The joy of savings is knowing that you're not trapped in your job.
And you could quit any time you want.
iglew - October 2, 2009
I could quit any time anyways.
Leopold Bloom - October 2, 2009

Deborah51 - October 2, 2009
well i think a porsche is too flasy and i was kind of wanting a sports car
OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009

OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
I like the 911 a lot
but want a late 80’s model
ohtobe21likehuston - October 2, 2009
I got my Jeep last year and I love it
I’ve wanted one for years
sirbed - October 2, 2009
the other car i like is the lexus rx-330 which is like a spoty suv crossover
OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
sporty
OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
I have the Wrangler
and it’s fun to drive and it’s silver and black of course.
sirbed - October 2, 2009
well, if got a tight sweater on, you won't get a ticket.
ak_A - October 2, 2009
I'd vote bad idea
1) Made of plastic
2) Gas guzzler
3) Pretty cheesy
Unless you’re talking about a vintage one. That would be cool.
Nick - October 2, 2009
Also....
4) Deadly warning sign of midlife crisis (though this applies more to male drivers of said cars).
GreenNGoldSooner - October 2, 2009
And he thought fast CARS were a thrill...
Nick - October 2, 2009
turns out he liked boys...
Leopold Bloom - October 2, 2009
i was thinking an older model, i don't want to be cheesy like camaro or iroc or whatever
OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
Camaro

Bitchin’ Camaro, Bitchin’ Camaro!
I ran over my neighbors
Bitchin’ Camaro, Bitchin’ Camaro!
Now I’m in all the papers
My folks bought me a bitchin’ Camaro
With no insurance to match
So if I happen to run you down
Please don’t leave a scratch
I ran over some old lady
One night at the county fair
And I didn’t get arrested
Because my dad’s the mayor
Bitchin’ Camaro, Bitchin’ Camaro!
Donuts on your lawn
Bitchin’ Camaro, Bitchin’ Camaro!

GreenNGoldSooner - October 2, 2009
why a corvette
why not like a mini cooper convertible or something? those cars are cute for girls
cuppingmaster - October 2, 2009
a Mini Cooper?
that’s not a real car
sirbed - October 2, 2009
Someone should put a massive, muscle car engine in a SMART car
Nick - October 2, 2009
LOL
that would be awesome. like a european rice rocket
cuppingmaster - October 2, 2009
Anything the human mind can imagine...
…can be found on teh internets!
GreenNGoldSooner - October 2, 2009
1998 called - they want their web page back
doctorK - October 2, 2009
I think that thing would take off
and fly through the air, briefly.
Kevin2 - October 2, 2009
But I bet they are fun to drive
BERRYJO - October 2, 2009
i want a sports car
but maybe it’s a dumb idea that will pass
OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
Miata?
iglew - October 2, 2009
Miata is almost as bad as a Mini Cooper
sirbed - October 2, 2009
I hate Miata's because they constantly accelerate
You have less control unless you constantly wanting to be creeping on the speed light.
pookeyguru - October 2, 2009
speed of light^
pookeyguru - October 2, 2009
Life is short
drive a fun car is what I say
sirbed - October 2, 2009
How about a mini?? or a TT??
BERRYJO - October 2, 2009
hmmm a TT is cool
but expensive!
cuppingmaster - October 2, 2009
what's a TT?
OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
Audi
Kevin2 - October 2, 2009
oo that's cute
OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
40 g's i think, though
but if you have it to blow….
cuppingmaster - October 2, 2009
Ifyou want a car that's really fun to drive get a BMW stick shift
BERRYJO - October 2, 2009
i know you guys will laugh at this
but i don’t know how to drive a stick shift
OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
That means you don't know how to drive
doctorK - October 2, 2009
Me neither, sigh.
I did try.
lynnzgal - October 2, 2009
That's what I always tell Mrs doctorK
My last two vehicles (both trucks) were stick-shifts, so I didn’t have to let her drive them.
doctorK - October 2, 2009
There are just a few things I can't seem to do well.
Drive a stick, bake, and play basketball. Oh! And anything that has to do with heights.
lynnzgal - October 2, 2009
you can't drive a sports car without a stick shift
that’s not cool.
Deborah51 - October 2, 2009
i know, i will have to learn
OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
Learn before you buy a sports car
Buying an automatic sports car is kinda missing the point.
Nick - October 2, 2009
no i know that
OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
it's easy. you can do it.
Deborah51 - October 2, 2009
cool, well thanks everyone for the feedback, it's always good to hear other opinions
esp when i don’t know much
OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
Learn.
It’s not a big deal. You just need to get yourself a situation where you can practice a bit.
iglew - October 2, 2009
Well just get the BMW-they are the best cars to drive
BERRYJO - October 2, 2009
BMW
I was driving to ROP today and saw a car with an “ABADBMW” license plate.
Rated-R Superstar - October 2, 2009
I'll just live vicariously through my boss, thanks.
lynnzgal - October 2, 2009
Ihad one two cars ago and LOVED it......just wouldn't spend the $$
the last time I bought a car. Maybe my next one!
BERRYJO - October 2, 2009
I've never bought a foreign car but if I did it would be a BMW
sirbed - October 2, 2009
i find mercedes more comfy, but you're saying bmw drives better?
OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
BMW's are a blast to drive
Wish I would have never sold my 325.
ohtobe21likehuston - October 2, 2009
Best handling car I ever owned
BERRYJO - October 2, 2009
I think Mercedes are clunky to drive
BERRYJO - October 2, 2009
i've never driven either brand, just a passenger
i think i have some test driving to do
OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
A MUST!!
If you could rent one for a day that might help – too.
BERRYJO - October 2, 2009
When my boss bought his M series
he said it was always his dream to drive a fast car. He loved it until he found out the tires wear out in no time and are really hard to replace.
lynnzgal - October 2, 2009
OH yeah and the M series is more expensive too
I don’t know much about them but I think it’s a souped up engine and performance tires etc
BERRYJO - October 2, 2009
is that bmw or mercedes?
OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
BMW
BERRYJO - October 2, 2009
so m series is bad, what series is good?
OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
Not bad....just high performance
depends on what you want. It is probably more responsive and zippy. But more expensive to buy and maintain as well. You might have to buy tires more often.
BERRYJO - October 2, 2009
I am not a fan of Mercedes
ohtobe21likehuston - October 2, 2009
I wanted one the last time I bought a car or a Cayenne
but I couldn’t afford.
BERRYJO - October 2, 2009
Are you having a mid-life crisis?
Hit4TheCycle - October 2, 2009
Mid-game crisis, but thanks for asking.
Nico - October 2, 2009
no, just thought it would be fun to have a sports car
OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
You should get the Toyota Supra
Nothing says Fun Sports Car than Toyota Supra.
Hit4TheCycle - October 2, 2009
For how long have the A's been offering that
free Rickey jersey for the first 100 new ticket plan accounts?
Kevin2 - October 2, 2009
1998
sirbed - October 2, 2009
But you'd better act fast!
There have been over eighty new ticket plan accounts since then, so there’s only about a dozen shirts left!
GreenNGoldSooner - October 2, 2009
A Blevy of strikeouts!
Nico - October 2, 2009
"BART" is the best thing in my life.
I always “BART” with my boyfriend.
iglew - October 2, 2009
dirty boy.
Leopold Bloom - October 2, 2009
ya that lady who wishes BART was her boyfriend needs to get out more
sirbed - October 2, 2009
I haven't posted any pictures tonight. That's odd.
Here’s a nostalgic one, in honor of Huston’s team making the playoffs… I wish Huston’s team was still the A’s…
whiteshoes40 - October 2, 2009
awww
OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
I like Bailey better
but I wish Huston the best of luck
sirbed - October 2, 2009
Huston Street
He looks like one of my friends in that picture.
Rated-R Superstar - October 2, 2009
:P
iglew - October 2, 2009
:P
whiteshoes40 - October 2, 2009
damn, sandoval. you could have let it go.
it’s not like we’re scoring runs left and right, ya know.
Deborah51 - October 2, 2009
So, what have I missed?
lynnzgal - October 2, 2009
not much.
ElQuesoCapitan - October 2, 2009
Nothing actually worth seeing.
Kevin2 - October 2, 2009
Fuck the game!
Obviously that’s crappy. What good shit happened in the thread?
lynnzgal - October 2, 2009
I am now certain that I love you
doctorK - October 2, 2009
I've ALWAYS loved you!
lynnzgal - October 2, 2009
I know
- Han Solo
doctorK - October 2, 2009
Not much.
Sparkly Hulk. That’s about it.
iglew - October 2, 2009
lawrence welk made an appearance
it was so lov-e-ly
cuppingmaster - October 2, 2009
Here comes H-Rod
Section behind home plate had better be alert.
doctorK - October 2, 2009
HOLY TOLEDO
Bill King calls a 1983 no-hitter from Mike Warren by giving the precise date and time on the air.
I could listen to Bill King call the arrivals at Oakland Airport.
emperor nobody - October 2, 2009
"Only in your worst alcoholic nightmares would you pick up the white courtesy phone!!!"
Nico - October 2, 2009
yeah that one was extra special.
AV - October 2, 2009
i was at that game
Deborah51 - October 2, 2009
If I were Scioscia, right now I'd be worried that
H-Rod was about to make D’Angelo Jimenez a factor in the ALDS.
Nico - October 2, 2009
If I were Scioscia right now I'd be worried that
my cholesterol was too high
sirbed - October 2, 2009
and that my warts might be cancerous
stormtown - October 2, 2009
If I were Scioscia
I’d be worried that my team might not survive the Red Sox.
Hit4TheCycle - October 2, 2009
I would like to see Henry Rodriguez pitching (throwing)
at 100 mph in the vicinity of home plate and it looks like I get my wish
Don’t worry about your control son, They are tough enough to take a hit.
Trainman - October 2, 2009
spare the H-Rod
spoil the child, LOL
emperor nobody - October 2, 2009
Hey CSN California, nice backdrop of Port of Oakland
Definitely highlights one of the more of the scenic spots in Oakland
Hit4TheCycle - October 2, 2009
When an A's starting pitcher with no fashion sense gets pulled....
…can the reliever order the team to put on our real road jerseys?
GreenNGoldSooner - October 2, 2009
Erp...HOME jerseys.
GreenNGoldSooner - October 2, 2009
suzuki had to duck away from that one
cuppingmaster - October 2, 2009
WHATCHOO TALKIN BOUT WILLITS?
emperor nobody - October 2, 2009
i think of that phrase every time i see his name
cuppingmaster - October 2, 2009
I think of Mike Gallego
every time I hear “the plane, boss. The plane!”
ohtobe21likehuston - October 2, 2009
it's awfully, awfully fun
to sit in the RF bleachers at the Coliseum when he plays RF for them, the heckling is savage and hi-larious.
emperor nobody - October 2, 2009
i remember when i first started sitting out there back in the day
and rusty greer was the regular RF for texas. we were brutal to him.
cuppingmaster - October 2, 2009
Clean out the cash register and don't make any trouble!
GreenNGoldSooner - October 2, 2009
Is she dead?
ohtobe21likehuston - October 2, 2009
Yes.
iglew - October 2, 2009
Yes...and she died in Moore, Oklahoma.
Next town over from Norman.
That was special!
GreenNGoldSooner - October 2, 2009
I've been to Moore many times
My uncle used to live there.
ohtobe21likehuston - October 2, 2009
everything is more special in Oklahoma
sirbed - October 2, 2009
Oklahoma
Really? Oklahoma?
Rated-R Superstar - October 2, 2009
Sarcasm
Really Sarcasm
sirbed - October 2, 2009
Just got back from watching the future QB
for OU football. He is gonna be hella good.
ohtobe21likehuston - October 2, 2009
Landry Jones
Oklahoma can beat Miami with Landry Jones.
Rated-R Superstar - October 2, 2009
I think this guy- Blake Bell- is better
His Dad played for Seattle and his uncle played for KC. Pretty good gene pool. He will be on ESPNU next Friday so look for my AN shirt at the game.
ohtobe21likehuston - October 2, 2009
Dana Plato?
Kevin2 - October 2, 2009
wow, she didn't even look that bad there
I think she deteriorated quite a bit before she died.
stormtown - October 2, 2009
I think the clerk she robbed at gunpoint....
….actually called the Vegas police and said “I was just robbed by the girl from Diff’rent Strokes”!
GreenNGoldSooner - October 2, 2009
damn e-pat you could at least try and run hard
cuppingmaster - October 2, 2009
i blame the black unis
OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
i hope they get retired after this year
for good!
cuppingmaster - October 2, 2009
They've only had em for two years!!
BERRYJO - October 2, 2009
didn't they have them in 2000-1 too?
cuppingmaster - October 2, 2009
I guess I just remember them from last year.
BERRYJO - October 2, 2009
i think the pitcher makes the decision what unis they wear
OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
Yes.
and the Raiders.
iglew - October 2, 2009
The Blame
The blame is clearly on Al Davis.
Rated-R Superstar - October 2, 2009
yes
OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
if you say something bad about Darth Al you could get sued
sirbed - October 2, 2009
I blame the slegnA
doctorK - October 2, 2009
there's the century mark
cuppingmaster - October 2, 2009
i'm bored and i'm out of chocolate, too
Deborah51 - October 2, 2009
and there hasn't been any shots of the A's dugout because we've had no runs
OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
i'll trade you chocolate for more coca-cola
cuppingmaster - October 2, 2009
i have diet coke. does that work?
Deborah51 - October 2, 2009
ick
(sorry – don’t like the taste). got any doritos?
cuppingmaster - October 2, 2009
no, sorry. i'm not a doritos fan.
Deborah51 - October 2, 2009
That sounds like a real emergency. Get thyself to Cold Stone immediately!!
BERRYJO - October 2, 2009
i don't think i can drive.
that glass of wine made me very sleepy.
Deborah51 - October 2, 2009
ah......so sorry......have another glass then!
BERRYJO - October 2, 2009
Well, I think it is safe to say that H-Rod isn't quite ready yet
doctorK - October 2, 2009
I'm actually okay with him getting the experience though.
The win is clearly out of reach
lynnzgal - October 2, 2009
live look-in: mixed blessing.
I get to see H-Rod for the first time… but I also have to see the Black Unis of Death, and the outfield that has been desecrated by football, and the Angels. [shudder]
At least Ellis is wearing high socks!
whiteshoes40 - October 2, 2009
so is rajai. he looks quite manly in the black uni.
Deborah51 - October 2, 2009
HE GOT WOOD
Hit4TheCycle - October 2, 2009
huh huh huh....wood....again
sirbed - October 2, 2009
Can we ditch the black unis for 2010?
Please?
GreenNGoldSooner - October 2, 2009
ok
OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
I third that
sirbed - October 2, 2009
Let's Vote.....
BERRYJO - October 2, 2009
absolutely
whiteshoes40 - October 2, 2009
Alternate Uniform Color
I like yellow.
Rated-R Superstar - October 2, 2009
they'll look like a bunch of canaries!
Deborah51 - October 2, 2009
or Ducks!
GreenNGoldSooner - October 2, 2009
OUCH
that hurts my eyes!! HAHAHAHA
BERRYJO - October 2, 2009
the oregon uniforms are pretty bad
Deborah51 - October 2, 2009
Horrible
How they can win in that gear is a mystery to me.
doctorK - October 2, 2009
They rarely win when it counts
ohtobe21likehuston - October 2, 2009
Actually the throwbacks they had on vs. Cal last week....
….looked really sharp….at least compared to the crap they usually wear.
GreenNGoldSooner - October 2, 2009
retro 70's?
OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
love those.
whiteshoes40 - October 2, 2009
you like yellow
that’s great now I have all the information I need
sirbed - October 2, 2009
starting to rally now, i'll take off my jewelry
OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
there go my pants
just kidding I never had them on
sirbed - October 2, 2009
none of us do
OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
that's how I imagine things being
sirbed - October 2, 2009
no wonder we're losing. gotta get on it OAH
cuppingmaster - October 2, 2009
somebody at mlb.com is a little mixed up.
Said it was showing COL-LAD and then the A’s-Angels come up. Then it said it was showing the A’s-Angels and the Rockies-Dodgers come up. They’re so tricksy, they are.
whiteshoes40 - October 2, 2009
Wicked! Tricksy! FALLLSSSSSSE!
doctorK - October 2, 2009
Have I missed a single thing about this game?
pookeyguru - October 2, 2009
And down 5-0 to the Angels tells me no
pookeyguru - October 2, 2009
no
BERRYJO - October 2, 2009
That's sad
But this is the A’s.
pookeyguru - October 2, 2009
A's have too much warning track power
Hit4TheCycle - October 2, 2009
huh huh huh....warning track power
sirbed - October 2, 2009
but there’s a problem.
AV - October 2, 2009
I am seriously ROTFLMAO
BERRYJO - October 2, 2009
that guy is kinda freaky looking
Deborah51 - October 2, 2009
GreenNGoldSooner - October 2, 2009
Please, sir?
May I have some more?
lynnzgal - October 2, 2009
crap kazmir is pitching tomorrow?
cuppingmaster - October 2, 2009
let's rock the kazmir
sirbed - October 2, 2009
is that "crap- kazmir is pitching or
crappy kazmir is pitching!! LOL
BERRYJO - October 2, 2009
crap - kazmir
cuppingmaster - October 2, 2009
i think of led zeppelin kashmir
OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
and Fast Times at Ridgemont High
ohtobe21likehuston - October 2, 2009
oh yea
OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
The shareef don't like it
doctorK - October 2, 2009
Is crap related to Scott?
ohtobe21likehuston - October 2, 2009
George C. ?
sirbed - October 2, 2009
Fitzgerald?
ohtobe21likehuston - October 2, 2009
Time to grab a sweater
Hit4TheCycle - October 2, 2009
forgot he's on the Angels. blerg.
whiteshoes40 - October 2, 2009
So when the playoffs start who are we rooting for?
OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
Whoever wins the NL
doctorK - October 2, 2009
i think i'll root for the dodgers
OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
no don't do that OAH
remember 1988 forever!
sirbed - October 2, 2009
give me a team then
OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
anybody but the God Damn Dodgers
sorry I hate the Dodgers
sirbed - October 2, 2009
phillies
can’t do st. louis, unfortunately
cuppingmaster - October 2, 2009
I root for good baseball
I can’t root for any team but our A’s
sirbed - October 2, 2009
I don't believe what I just saw
I think Rockies are a fun trendy pick.
Hit4TheCycle - October 2, 2009
i was saying i don't mind rooting for the tigers earlier
but many are still sore from ’06.
cuppingmaster - October 2, 2009
i went to one of those playoff games, the 1 st one i think
OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
Tigers look like the least worst option to me.
GreenNGoldSooner - October 2, 2009
anyone but the angels, nyy and red sox
Deborah51 - October 2, 2009
+1
cuppingmaster - October 2, 2009
which about lets them all OUT!!!
waiting for the central waiting for the central…….
BERRYJO - October 2, 2009
i would never root for any of those teams so i guess i'll root for the AL central and pick a NL team too, sirbed said no to the dodgers
OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
Just talked to the father of the VP of amateur scouting for the Tigers
and said “I HOPE THAT MINNESOTA TAKES THE DIVISION!” He said his son is scouting the Red Sox in preparation for the Tigers playing them in the playoffs.
ohtobe21likehuston - October 2, 2009
a casilla appearance
Deborah51 - October 2, 2009
Oh please, oh please, let this be the last time we see Casilla in an A's uniform
