“Duchscher” into babel fish set for German to English, it would come out “Duchscherer”. And then if you put in “Duchscherer” it would come out “Duchschererer”. And then if you put in “Duchschererer” it would come out “Duchscherererer”.
“defensive indifference” thing (first of all, I think a SB should be awarded, but whatever). If Kennedy is at 1B, Rajai’s ball is a DP. Instead…one more baserunner…? And Fuentes had to come in regardless.
I’m not a fan of public school period. I think kids get short changed in many ways. But, that’s me. (I’m not a fan of elementary, junior high and high school.)
Public school does not exist to serve the kids; public school exists to serve the public. And the public derives more benefit from educating inner-city kids than from educating suburban kids.
9th inning thread to roam in

lynnzgal - October 2, 2009
they're filming the 2nd movie now
OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
Ima watch it!
I go to sleep to the first one.
lynnzgal - October 2, 2009
i like dthe first one
OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
Its why I put it on to go to sleep.
Happy ending.
lynnzgal - October 2, 2009
So no going to sleep to Seven eh?
pookeyguru - October 2, 2009
Um...no.
Nightmares for that one!
lynnzgal - October 2, 2009
LOL
I find it amusing. The only thing that has ever truly freaked me out was “Lopan” from Big Trouble in Little China (love that movie).
pookeyguru - October 2, 2009
Awesome movie
ohtobe21likehuston - October 2, 2009
Yeah it is
You don’t see movies like that one anymore.
pookeyguru - October 2, 2009

Cairo
Hit4TheCycle - October 2, 2009
what is a city in Egypt?
sirbed - October 2, 2009
That particular one is noisy and filled with drab buildings....but the pyramids - now they are amazing
BERRYJO - October 2, 2009
Or a city in Georgia....
pookeyguru - October 2, 2009
Or a city in Looziana apparently
pookeyguru - October 2, 2009
Or Illinois...
Though there it’s pronounced “Kay-ro”
GreenNGoldSooner - October 2, 2009
Good call
I forgot there was a Cairo Illinois. (Somehow I seem to remember knowing that though.)
pookeyguru - October 2, 2009
According to mapquest
it’s almost in Kentucky and Missouri. It’s amazing that Cairo isn’t being fought over by 3 states. LOL
pookeyguru - October 2, 2009
It's pronounced 'care-oh' or maybe 'kay-roh'
doctorK - October 2, 2009
Kay Roh would be my guess
But living in Southern Illinois is not something I aspire to currently.
pookeyguru - October 2, 2009

emperor nobody - October 2, 2009
This A's team down the stretch has been maybe 60% Baseball
40% Frustration
Hit4TheCycle - October 2, 2009
Which is a big improvement....
…over the A’s in April and May!
GreenNGoldSooner - October 2, 2009
when it was 20/80?
BERRYJO - October 2, 2009
I think everyone left
if I drove them away I’m sorry
sirbed - October 2, 2009
so that's Ted Lilly sitting on the bench, right?
and the picture file is “chavezsleeping” so I guess that’s Chavy. Dude, no wonder your back is messed up — can’t go to sleep on a bench like that!
whiteshoes40 - October 2, 2009
100% A's, right now!
lynnzgal - October 2, 2009

Those fans are invisible
Kind of like Chargers fans.

i'll put my shirt back on?
OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
NO! that would be bad
sirbed - October 2, 2009
ok
OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
Rawr!
ohtobe21likehuston - October 2, 2009
it worked
OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
how can tomorrow's game not be televised
nevermind…i don’t need to watch eveland pitch
Deborah51 - October 2, 2009
it isn't????
OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
Fox blackout
Thank you, Fox
doctorK - October 2, 2009
that means buck will play
OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
of course he will. and he'll probably rip the seat of his pants too.
Deborah51 - October 2, 2009
holy hotness
i can’t believe it’s not on tv
OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
outside of House
I never thank FOX
sirbed - October 2, 2009
What about the Simpsons?

sirbed - October 2, 2009
Is it a day game? FOX TV football rights or some such crap
BERRYJO - October 2, 2009
Eveland's pitching tomorrow? That's kind of sad.
Who’s starting on Sunday?
whiteshoes40 - October 2, 2009
E Gone
BERRYJO - October 2, 2009
Way to finish out the season
Those two stiffs
I am sure they will not be on the roster next year.
Trainman - October 2, 2009
pretty sad. eveland and e-gon back to back.
Deborah51 - October 2, 2009
When you have those two on the 40 man roster
you know the team has serious problems
LOL
Next year will be much better.
Trainman - October 2, 2009
as long as neither of those guys pitch
cuppingmaster - October 2, 2009
And if it isn't....we're hunting you down!!
BERRYJO - October 2, 2009
I hope you are right
BERRYJO - October 2, 2009
e-gon
what a way to end the season
Deborah51 - October 2, 2009
I was thinking it was gonna be Cahill - who I saw almost EVERY game I went to!
BERRYJO - October 2, 2009
eeesh, no kidding.
Geren must hate the fans. He coulda switched up the rotation a bit so that Anderson would start the last game, but nooo, it’s E-Gon…
whiteshoes40 - October 2, 2009
That would have been nice....last game and all
BERRYJO - October 2, 2009
Can we please get at least one run?
doctorK - October 2, 2009
Eveland vs. Kazmir?
That sounds pretty brutal.
Then again, Eveland vs. a pitching machine might favor the team throwing the pitching machine.
GreenNGoldSooner - October 2, 2009
of all the guys who shouldn't end up on the team next year
i’m hoping for eveland to really be gone
cuppingmaster - October 2, 2009
the hipster with glasses?
OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
if he's left handed and can't pitch worth a shit
then that’s him
cuppingmaster - October 2, 2009

I’d laugh if Colorado gets to be crowned division champs.

Oh!

lynnzgal - October 2, 2009
Went to shower. Have I missed anything interesting
ElQuesoCapitan - October 2, 2009
A Casilla sighting
So interesting.
Hit4TheCycle - October 2, 2009
Just think
I the A’s were to (somehow) win this in the 9th, Casilla would get the win.
doctorK - October 2, 2009
THAT'S sad
BERRYJO - October 2, 2009
Wins for the A's are never sad.
louismg - October 2, 2009
I know.....I just can;t stand Casilla
BERRYJO - October 2, 2009
depends, was someone with you in the shower?
sirbed - October 2, 2009
...lol no
ElQuesoCapitan - October 2, 2009
the teAse is on
Deborah51 - October 2, 2009
go wash something else! it worked.
AV - October 2, 2009
I'm almost certain I washed everything.
ElQuesoCapitan - October 2, 2009
Winning run is in the hole!
GreenNGoldSooner - October 2, 2009
TWSS!
lynnzgal - October 2, 2009
something else has to come off
OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009

We will only win if you are being totally serious
We need this.
ohtobe21likehuston - October 2, 2009

i take the tease rally very serious
OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
Surely you can't be serious
sirbed - October 2, 2009
yes and i'm on a leather couch so it's a little sticky
OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
I'm going to take a cold shower now
sirbed - October 2, 2009
I take nudity very seriously
ohtobe21likehuston - October 2, 2009
you'd better have stripped off too
OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
You're doing great
ohtobe21likehuston - October 2, 2009
Big time tease!
lynnzgal - October 2, 2009
Ok....here we go......let;s keep this goin'
BERRYJO - October 2, 2009
Woohoooo the A's scored!
pookeyguru - October 2, 2009
alright, Dale. Let's do this.
whiteshoes40 - October 2, 2009
Is Dale Daric Barton?
pookeyguru - October 2, 2009
homerface
ElQuesoCapitan - October 2, 2009
Por Que?
pookeyguru - October 2, 2009
Staplehead.
lynnzgal - October 2, 2009
Some announcer called him Dale
BERRYJO - October 2, 2009
Oh okay LOL
Thanks.
pookeyguru - October 2, 2009
yup AKA staplehead
BERRYJO - October 2, 2009
Yeah
Came from last year’s opener in Japan, when the dumbass ESPN announcer called him ‘Dale’ Barton, and also referred to Jack Hanrahan.
doctorK - October 2, 2009
Still wasn't as bad as the All-Star Game.
“Justin Duck-shur”.
danmerqury - October 2, 2009
that was awful.
Poor Duke.
whiteshoes40 - October 2, 2009
Everyone misprounounces my last name except my family
I don’t bother correcting anyone.
pookeyguru - October 2, 2009
Yeah, but when you're Joe Buck
And you’re announcing, of all things, the All Star Game…
danmerqury - October 2, 2009
I'm not saying professional announcers shouldn't get it right
I’m just saying I’ve given up on people getting my last name correct.
pookeyguru - October 2, 2009
Isn't it...
..duke-shearer? (Or something like that.)
pookeyguru - October 2, 2009
Duke-sure.
lynnzgal - October 2, 2009
Oh that makes it quite simple actually
Thanks.
pookeyguru - October 2, 2009
But I always prefer
Duke-surer-er-er-er-er
lynnzgal - October 2, 2009
It used to be so if you put
“Duchscher” into babel fish set for German to English, it would come out “Duchscherer”. And then if you put in “Duchscherer” it would come out “Duchschererer”. And then if you put in “Duchschererer” it would come out “Duchscherererer”.
Unfortunately, they fixed that. :-(
iglew - October 2, 2009
Bastards!
lynnzgal - October 2, 2009
I blame Bud Selig!
GreenNGoldSooner - October 2, 2009
Save Situation
Make them earn it.
Hit4TheCycle - October 2, 2009
they do things the old fashioned way
they earrrrrn it
sirbed - October 2, 2009
Just a note, because I hate the whole
“defensive indifference” thing (first of all, I think a SB should be awarded, but whatever). If Kennedy is at 1B, Rajai’s ball is a DP. Instead…one more baserunner…? And Fuentes had to come in regardless.
Nico - October 2, 2009
Just a note, I hate spiders
sirbed - October 2, 2009
me too
OakA'sHoney - October 2, 2009
Any chance that we can ruin the playoffs for them by making them overuse the bullpen??
BERRYJO - October 2, 2009
I have game thread indifference.
Whatever.
louismg - October 2, 2009
Oh wow...why did I even bother checking the score?
Not the greatest offensive night, it looks like.
danmerqury - October 2, 2009
because you chemical physicists like the punishment
cuppingmaster - October 2, 2009
Evidently.
I’m a Raiders fan too. My life story is all coming together…
danmerqury - October 2, 2009
a chemical physicist Raiders fan
but you’re in a motorcycle gang on the side right?
sirbed - October 2, 2009
Oh, of course.
Obviously.
danmerqury - October 2, 2009
ya we have to keep the stereotype going
sirbed - October 2, 2009
I also spend my summers teaching AP Calculus to a group of underachieving hispanic high schoolers from a bad neighborhood.
danmerqury - October 2, 2009
Good for you!!
BERRYJO - October 2, 2009
Yes, I'm Edward James Olmos, why do you ask?
danmerqury - October 2, 2009
Summer is a pretty short time span for AP Calc?!
BERRYJO - October 2, 2009
ya I'm a teacher and I don't have any tats
or felony convictions so I really need to do more to be a true Raider fan
sirbed - October 2, 2009
Give yourself some time
You too can become a convict if you put your mind to it!
ohtobe21likehuston - October 2, 2009
I can do it!
sirbed - October 2, 2009
The thing I enjoy most about that movie is that the story the way it's presented didn't actually happen
But, movie magic is awesome.
pookeyguru - October 2, 2009
But I think there was a teacher who worked with kids who didn;t expect to go to college
and got them to believe they could
BERRYJO - October 2, 2009
that's called working in a public school
sirbed - October 2, 2009
In East LA no less
pookeyguru - October 2, 2009
Not all.....
BERRYJO - October 2, 2009
Yeah not everybody can teach Public School in Thousand Oaks though
pookeyguru - October 2, 2009
ya no shit
sirbed - October 2, 2009
I feel sorry for anybody who works in Sac City Unified
or Oakland’s school district, or parts of LA school district. But, at the same time, it’s not like teacher’s dont get paid.
pookeyguru - October 2, 2009
But salaries in inner cities are ususally inferior. Inner city school kids get shortchanged in many ways
BERRYJO - October 2, 2009
The world sucks
I’m not a fan of public school period. I think kids get short changed in many ways. But, that’s me. (I’m not a fan of elementary, junior high and high school.)
pookeyguru - October 2, 2009
Pay for inner cities should be more, not less.
Public school does not exist to serve the kids; public school exists to serve the public. And the public derives more benefit from educating inner-city kids than from educating suburban kids.
iglew - October 2, 2009
Not everybody can TEACH!!
BERRYJO - October 2, 2009
His story of making a profound impact
It’s the story in the movie and the way it unfolded that wasn’t true. He can teach; I know I took one of his classes in HS.
pookeyguru - October 2, 2009
any movie that is "based on a true story" is going to be full of it
because it has to be entertaining and do it in 2 hours.
sirbed - October 2, 2009

We could talk, we could "BART",

iglew - October 2, 2009
stupid tease.
I hope the 2010 A’s don’t tease us like this. It’s so… draining. The 2010 A’s will just dominate all the time, so they won’t need to teAse.
whiteshoes40 - October 2, 2009
Teases
They’ll tease a loss, but always win.
Does that work for you?
