Athletics Nation

I'll assume it's the trailer editing.

But Clint Eastwood, directing Matt Damon and Morgan Freeman as Nelson Mandela? I can’t see it not getting a Best Picture nomination.

So who are we rooting for. I really like those red guys.

Invictus looks kinda cool

Aaaaaand that's a rec.

I had this on the back of my car.

I could add an AN line below it, if anyone’s interested in one…;

si

email me.

SO TRUE! That's perfect.

you want?

oooooh....you're a sign maker, you are. :-)

baseballgirl - October 29, 2009 reply

yup. Magnet for back of car? or...?

I can't put the Yankees on the back of my car!

How about a new 2010 A’s slogan….what do we have?

baseballgirl - October 29, 2009 reply

Third Place or Bust.

I kid. Sheesh.

"More of the same but who do we blame?"

sweet

I begged others for ideas last year and the best dogfather and I

came up with was “Our Stat Geeks can Beat up Your Stat Geeks”

I like that.

2010 A's - show some emotion

2010 A's: No More Zombies

Oh WTF, Fox?!

Why? Oh god, why?

what happened?

They made a DJ Hero music video baseball thing.

Oh god, it was bad.

like dance number at the Oscars bad?

hey, that anne hathaway thing was magical

er, i mean, beer! right.

Like I'd rather play Derek Jeter pinball bad.

I hope I can find that on the internet somewhere

WTF was that?

omg. this DJ hero - baseball 'mashup'

is about the worst thing i’ve seen since I last took speed

Oh crap!

Flashback!

What would you do if you had a date with Alicia Keys?

run away

well, I'd think about cleaning up the appartment a little

maybe I’d get in the good beer, rather than the cheap stuff.

I’m classy like that

I would rub her down with oil

Dear Fox: just because technology exists, doesn't mean you need to use it

YES WE DO!

WE'VE GOT SPIRIT!

HOW 'BOUT YOU?

(damn Pavlovian brain!)

F the Yankees!

Go Phillies, you need to get to the bullpen before Rivera comes out.

apparently, John Goodman's a drunkie.

okay time to come out pedro

are ju talkin to me?!

eye em

So that is what a hit from a Hairston looks like!

Is Grady Little pinch-managing?

I don't think Buck could be any more excited about a single

it's not really his fault, Jeter's got him bothered and hot.

uh-oh....

Wow, the Phillies really don't trust their bullpen, do they

Pedro's tank is empty

Silly to leave him out there any longer. And they’re not going to.

happ hasn't seemed bad

Yeah, that's what I thought - I'm surprised they've not made the call earlier

look at that smirk!

I suddenly like Pedro for some reason

I just started. But I skipped like and went straight to love.

I love Pedro.

Would you vote for him?

Against Zimmer?

Oh yeah.

depends.

anyone dancing for me?

Rated-R

without the pot

then what do we contain him in?

Hold Lexi hostage?

Now that's mean.

Cute.

me too

ah Park

he’s been awesome. hope he keeps it up.

Sometimes I wish that my parents would have named me Chan Ho

Never too late for a name change

it only works if you have Park as you last name

if your last name was Ho, it would also work.

damnit!

ihatethesef'ingyankees

I second that emotion :-)

omgme2

The only thing keeping me from hate

Is grooving on Marvin Gaye remixes.

was that link good?

I DLed it earlier but not listening yet

I gotta wait til I'm home to DL...

Worked perfectly

My clocks just froze and it scared me

Oh…I see…Jeter is up.

time stand still for jesus, er jeter

Did I just miss a bunt strikeout?

A... bad... play by Jeter?

aw....

he wants his sled.

Brian Sabean at one of Zito's starts?

So if Jesus came back from the dead,

would you think he was a zombie and try to kill him again? And if you did, would he could back again and again and again, like some Messiah Jason, refusing to die?

Messiah Jason Giambi?

Nobody can get rid of that guy.

Randy Johnson

I need a maid.

I pay in Cheeze-Its and Drumsticks.

DAMN YOU, FLORIDA!

Would anyone really miss it if it wasn't there?

mickey, minnie, et al

gp, lass.

there's always Anaheim.

give it time

Ooooh, you pay well.....

gigglingone - October 29, 2009 reply

You should see the bonuses.

Ha ha ha ha ha Posada

Jeez, the Phillies got lucky there

Posada, though, is a horse faced scrotum

that's not very nice.

but hey, who cares?

I really dislike the way he stood there and clapped

he's scum.

Im’ with you.

nothing a shovel to the face can't fix.

i mean, if I were to advocate violence.

Can I use a pick?

i'll take that play

If Howard had thought he'd caught it

wouldn’t he have just kept on running to 1B to double off Posada?

I know, right?

still, went the right way, for a change

You would think

pumpkin latte

damn that sounds good

mmmmm make me one!

Okay!

cuppingmaster…you are now a pumpkin latte!

Ha ha ha ha ha

For while we're waiting, could you make me a banana?

oh wow

don’t google “magic banana”. not the results I was looking for.

gigglingone - October 29, 2009 reply

i think those take batteries

I bet Ed Begley Jr's wife has a solar powered tool

And bio-degradable?

machine washable?

Doubtful, at the Begley house

waa waaaaa

you make me one!

i love anything pumpkin, mmmmmmmm

pumpkin chili?

never had that

how about pumpkin ravioli, pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin ice cream….mamma mia!

pumpkin beer

that is actually tasty

Was it a catch?

The Phillies radio group is suspect.

no

No, but the ump had no angle on the play at all

I think it's brilliant to go with Rivera here

regardless of the home town calls,

the Phillies radio gang is pretty awesome.

Yeah, even without Kalas they're good

although Gary Matthews is a bit of a cliche-flinger. Wheeler and Andersen can be pretty sarcastic, in a good way.

Did the batter run to 1st base on that blown call?

if not then the umps couldn’t reverse the call even if they wanted to right?

Howard's throw to 2B was wide, and Posada would have been safe it it had been a grounder

yeah

but what about the batter? i didn’t get a good look and didn’t see if he kept running.

Good AB by Rollins

11 pitch walk, nice.

The umps' caps with the MLB logo look really dorky

Beautifully placed single

yes! now that's how speed changes the game

Isn't that the subtitle of Andre Agassi's new memoir?

Snap

Crystal meth is a fun drug.

I don’t blame him.

I've been trying to work out

and by trying, I mean, ‘think in my head’, as opposed to ‘look up’, or ‘do some research’, whether his year or so of taking crystal meth and being crap at tennis co-incided with his hair falling out?
