Well, let's see if we can't get a little revenge after last night's loss! The A's continue to tune-up the team (I would expect to see some of the bench players take their cracks at the Giants tonight) in what is the penultimate game of the Spring Training season. Dana Eveland will take on Randy Johnson in what should be a good match-up. Who are we kidding? Any A's baseball on TV looks pretty good right now!

Anyone watching MLB.tv games today?
The video quality on the new player is absolutely incredible. I hate to ever give MLB credit for anything, but they’ve really done a great job with this.
I’ll post lineups when they are announced.
vegAN ryAN - April 3, 2009
I was watching the Mets and Yankees games.
HD feed was amazing.
Syphon - April 3, 2009
MY FIRST MATCH OF THE SEASON!!!!
And who’s throwing, but my favorite thrower on the whole team….medium-low hottie Dana Cleveland!!! I can’t wait to see what she’s done with her hair this year.
GO HOTTIES!!!!!!!
XOXOXOXXOXO,
Cindi.
Nico - April 3, 2009
I'm going to go into a corner and put on a distressed look.
ElQuesoCapitan - April 3, 2009

ElQuesoCapitan - April 3, 2009
hmm, is Powell supposed to play tomorrow?
Keze - April 3, 2009
Are the A's going to make Crosby just stand there
and not swing?
Nico - April 3, 2009
At least it's a lefty today.
vegAN ryAN - April 3, 2009
I was referring to the A's policies for their pitchers hitting
Nico - April 3, 2009
I know.
And I’m referring to the fact that, at the very least, Bobby won’t see any sliders low and away tonight.
vegAN ryAN - April 3, 2009
Ah yes - just the HOF slider down and in
A much better strikeout choice!
Nico - April 3, 2009
Wanna fight?
vegAN ryAN - April 3, 2009
Sure
{swings wildly}
{misses}
Nico - April 3, 2009
I don't want to fight Bobby Crosby.
vegAN ryAN - April 3, 2009
Cust sure keeps hitting low in the lineup.
I’m starting to get the idea that the A’s think of him as a 6-7 hole hitter. That’s odd.
jeepers - April 3, 2009
Odd in a
“We like Cabrera in an OBP spot and Cust in an RBI spot…DOI!!!!!!!!” kind of way.
Nico - April 3, 2009
Or Cahill in the #2 spot.
You have good sinker. DO!!!!!!!!
jeepers - April 3, 2009
That was "Doi" not "Do"
Just to clarify my nostalgic return to high school speak.
Nico - April 3, 2009
Game is on channel 3 KNTV in the Bay Area
I’m never going to get used to that.
Englishmajor - April 3, 2009
Randy Johnson looks hideous in black and orange
Of course, Randy Johnson would look hideous in anything other than a burka.
Englishmajor - April 3, 2009
Randy Johnson
Hideous
That is all.
ElQuesoCapitan - April 3, 2009
Thank goodness we now get to see the extremely handsome Dana Eveland
Nico - April 3, 2009
The white pants don't flatter him
Englishmajor - April 3, 2009
is it gonna be on csnBA???
robbo650 - April 3, 2009
It's on NBC
Here in SF
OkayJay81 - April 3, 2009
No, Warriors on CSNBA & boxing/MMA on CSNCA
It is the Giants announcers on KNTV, yuck.

So I’m just listening to it on KTRB. :(
ElQuesoCapitan - April 3, 2009
Help please.
I’ve got KTRB on the internet…its not the game! Is it different online???
ZigFan31 - April 3, 2009
I don't think they are streaming for free anymore.
lynnzgal - April 3, 2009
I'm listening to it on KTRB right now
Though I’m on MLB audio…
ElQuesoCapitan - April 3, 2009
Ah...I'm on the KTRB website. Stanford women's basketball.
I think my GameDay Audio expired.
ZigFan31 - April 3, 2009
Yes.
I’ve got the game.
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
I am not getting the game.
Rated-R Superstar - April 3, 2009
Same.
MLB.com isnt even showing a link to the game now.
Syphon - April 3, 2009
yes. it's got me in some promo for premium
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
Make sure you have Flash 10 and the NexDef plugin for the new player to work its best.
vegAN ryAN - April 3, 2009
But, yeah, I see that they still have the preview screen.
Lame.
vegAN ryAN - April 3, 2009
Yeah.
Not starting
Syphon - April 3, 2009
Is this not on at all in Sac?
Doesn’t appear to be televised, and I can’t get it on XM. I wonder if it’s on our new local affiliate (LOL).
jeepers - April 3, 2009
Is that KLOL?

LOL.
It should be.

That's what I'm doing.
Strawberry cupcakes? Pweese?

I was thinking chocolate
but I might be able to do strawberry….

Oh!
Chocolate is good!
lynnzgal - April 3, 2009
A little nostalgia for our vanished advertisers
The company that bought out 5-A-Rent-A-Space finally took down the old sign on Cedar and the frontage road in Berkeley. I no longer drive by singing “Storage is for business….”

Can we get Pennington in for Ellis?
I demand an all Shortstop infield!!
OkayJay81 - April 3, 2009
lol
well, he was a shortstop in college. Does that count?
goldfish - April 3, 2009
got the rockies and m's on
here. Think it is a combo of M’s announcers and Rockies’ ones. Gotta decide whether to do EI on Comcast or do the mlbtv thing this year….soon.
ak_A - April 3, 2009
So is Powell going to start the season on the DL or something?
When was the last time he played?
Nick - April 3, 2009
Yesterday
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
I must have gone to bed before he came in for Zook
That’s good to hear.
Nick - April 3, 2009
He played last night
Had a single and an almost single. Looked rusty behind the plate though.
OkayJay81 - April 3, 2009
Grounder, grounder, walk, grounder for Dana.
0-0 after 1.
vegAN ryAN - April 3, 2009
I like all of those
except the third one.
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
Insert a generic
<he’s grounded> pun here.
ElQuesoCapitan - April 3, 2009
Oh, and mlb.com is no longer showing a link on their audio/video page to the A's game
which says to me that they’re the ones having tech problems with the game tonight. Other games are available (I checked, they work).
Nick - April 3, 2009
Yep, that's the case.
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
Bait and Switch!
Syphon - April 3, 2009
I'm on hold with their tech support
Could be a while

Awesome. Im to lazy to call them out.

Hang up so that I can have my call answered!

WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
Might be.
But even if it isnt. Im pretty sure MLB Extra Innings gives a week free preview.

Thigpen grounds out.
ElQuesoCapitan - April 3, 2009
Thigpen looks and swings a little like Kendall.

vegAN ryAN - April 3, 2009
Just logged on. What’d I miss?
walkoff baltimore chop - April 3, 2009
Nomah + Buck doubles = 1-0 A's

Part of me is sad and a part of me is happy. I hate the Bay Bridge Series for that reason.

Such a value.
ElQuesoCapitan - April 3, 2009
Scary
I was seriously wondering when I was going to see Bangkok tonight.
Right after the Big Unit reference for RJ.
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
No, they throw in a free TIE Fighter.

Hey - Bengie Molina just got to 1B
Way to go, Bengie! Nice to see Croz remind everyone why Cabrera was signed. Cabrera gets Nomar over there, Cust gets a SF.

Sandoval swings at
EVERYTHING
vegAN ryAN - April 3, 2009
Yep
Took a swing at me a couple of years back.
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
you could say he's a swinger.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009

You're old.

Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009

lynnzgal - April 3, 2009
snooty princess.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
But you recognized 'em, right?
Nick - April 3, 2009
Yeah.
But I’m just sayin’ that, to read “swinger”, and for your mind to immediately go to the “wild and crazy guys” skit, you gotta be at least 35. Which is hella old.
vegAN ryAN - April 3, 2009
Bite your tongue.
Or mine. I really don’t care.
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
You're killing me veggie boy.
lynnzgal - April 3, 2009
I should hang myself in the closet
before death comes to shake me from this mortal coil?
I am interested in your philosophies and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
I will allow you to subscribe to my Twitter account.
vegAN ryAN - April 3, 2009
There, you happy?
But the problem with the Vaughn reference is the possibility that being a swinger is cool. I think Sandoval is much more of a Festrunk — utterly clueless, wild, and crazy.
Nick - April 3, 2009
You're so money, baby.
vegAN ryAN - April 3, 2009
Oh, here's another
Nick - April 3, 2009

Give me a minute to decide if it is worth it or not.
ElQuesoCapitan - April 3, 2009
Now that's how you pitch to Sandoval
Garbage, garbage, garbage
OkayJay81 - April 3, 2009
Right. You try your hardest to walk him while the catcher can still catch the ball
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
I wonder if he would even take an Intentional Walk
I bet he would try to take a swing at one if it got too close to the plate.
OkayJay81 - April 3, 2009

You know, if I were starting a game with a new club in what might well be my last season, I would have washed my hair.
Englishmajor - April 3, 2009
I may have a new tagline.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
I rather enjoyed that.
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
i have a question
wouldnt it be ideal to have one A’s announcer and one Giants announcer? So we dont have to hear about this young giants phenom who stroke out Manny ONCE!!!
robbo650 - April 3, 2009
Who do you have?
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
He stroked him out.
That’s rich.
ElQuesoCapitan - April 3, 2009
Not a good mental picture.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
It was a picture that was painted in my head
So I must unleash it upon the rest of you.
ElQuesoCapitan - April 3, 2009
I rather enjoyed that.
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
That means I lost.

almost no one tried to steal off him
robbo650 - April 3, 2009
I was on hold for 45 minutes with MLB.com tech support...
…waiting to find out what happened to the game.
I was told nothing of any interest. However, the person I spoke to seemed to think the game was between the Giants and the “Atlantics.” Glad to see Bud is springing for tip-top technical support!
GreenNGoldSooner - April 3, 2009
That was a hearty laugh.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
If only they were all like that.

is the game on the radio?
DyeLongJustice - April 3, 2009
This game is on multiple radio stations.

maybe i should buy a radio then
because i can’t find an online stream either at 680 or 860.

"There's a Giant on every base."
I’m drinking a beer for every walk issued by the A’s tonight.
Who’s got the recap for me?
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
True story.
I went and saw the Sonoma County Crushers one night about a decade ago or so, and their promotion was if a certain player on the opposition struck out, then the beer was half price for the next fifteen minutes.
Dude struck out four times. The crowd chanted MVP the last time. And several people had several interesting things to yell.
“You’re my designated driver, number 24!”
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
Ah yes, the beer batter!
I think mine struck out 3 times, and I actually considered not going for a beer the last time. For a second.

Eveland limits the damage to 1 run. 1-1 after 3.

I thought Kevin Kline died in ’88.
vegAN ryAN - April 3, 2009
No, that was his career.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
Or did you think it was this?
Nick - April 3, 2009
Just a guess...
but nobody thought it was that
OkayJay81 - April 3, 2009

vegAN ryAN - April 3, 2009
Well, the others and I have been talking.
And we all agree that it’s time you did.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009

GreenNGoldSooner - April 3, 2009

ElQuesoCapitan - April 3, 2009

WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
I've been reconciled to the Giants announcers
Our guys could never say “Bobby Crosby strikes out!” with a note of surprise like that.

Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
It's the sleep deprivation

Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
You're so cute.
You’re really cute, you know that? Can I buy you a drink?
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
I would, sailor,
but I’m afraid you wouldn’t respect me in the morning.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
Clearly
people have been talking.
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
There was a nude bar in Santa Rosa
right down the street from the El Rancho where the Raiders trained for many years. Or at least where El Rancho used to be. There’s a Costco there now.
Anyhow, the titty bar was named Everybody’s Talking. The girls that danced there were not what you’d call attractive. My buddy used to go there in the early afternoon and he and his buddy would chuck pennies at them.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
Great story.
Was your buddy’s buddy Phil Villapiano? Sounds like something Phil would do.
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
No, but I was in county lockup one time with Phil.
Great guy. Handy with a shiv.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
Eveland works out of trouble again
1-1 after 4.
vegAN ryAN - April 3, 2009
Apparently Crosby bailed him out.
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
C'mon bitches!
Score some runs and gitter dun!
mrod - April 3, 2009
Eveland 58 pitches thru 4 with 33 strikes. How'd he walk so many guys?
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
Boy...
I sure wish I could SEE what was going on!
NateHST - April 3, 2009
No kidding.
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
They're about two batters away from doing the drawing on the screen thing
Englishmajor - April 3, 2009
Thigpen just stole a base!
vegAN ryAN - April 3, 2009
who is thigpen? (i'm serious)
xbhaskarx - April 3, 2009
Our brand new backup backup catcher.
vegAN ryAN - April 3, 2009
Backup C we signed from the Blue Jays a week or two ago
Nick - April 3, 2009
So new they haven't pasted an A's cap...
…on his GameDay photo yet!
GreenNGoldSooner - April 3, 2009
They're trying to dig out the Rivercats cap for that one
Nick - April 3, 2009
Catcher.
Rated-R Superstar - April 3, 2009
Yancy.
Played WR with the Steelers in the 90’s.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
Such a fun name.
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
a very good name.
not a bad WR either.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
Not at all.
Is there anything better than peanuts and beer?
I said “peanuts”. You people are sick.
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
You weren't really serious
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
lol, i was, i forgot about him.
xbhaskarx - April 3, 2009
Thigpen steals second.
ElQuesoCapitan - April 3, 2009
SB for Thigpen!
mrod - April 3, 2009
MaEl at the plate
Englishmajor - April 3, 2009
LS continues to not drive the ball.
vegAN ryAN - April 3, 2009
I'm listening to the Brewers game
following this thread and watching some gameday feeds -
and I just want you guys to know that Kendall just crushed a HR off Billingsley.
Lovejoy - April 3, 2009
Is this Bizarro world?
or perhaps opposite day?
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
Warriors up by 7 in the 2nd qtr against the Hornets...
mrod - April 3, 2009
Yeah, but the Hornets are on an 8-0 run.
The Warriors had to suit up a player just to avoid the forfeit. They have seven healthy bodies with seven unhealthy.
Rated-R Superstar - April 3, 2009
that's kinda cool, tho.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
Renteria K'd
ElQuesoCapitan - April 3, 2009
I could have tickets for the game tonight,
but when I see those peeps freezing their tails off, I don’t regret turning them down.
lynnzgal - April 3, 2009
I'd like to freeze there...
(sad panda)
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
Pack heat?
ElQuesoCapitan - April 3, 2009
Me too
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
Korach talking about
the ‘68-’72 ’A’s. I’ll be right back.
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
Yay Dana!
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
Nice 1-2-3 inning
vegAN ryAN - April 3, 2009
70 pitches thru 5
Not bad
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
Molina K'd looking
ElQuesoCapitan - April 3, 2009
OAKLAND A'S YEAAAAAAAAAAAH
ElQuesoCapitan - April 3, 2009
I hate that ad.
walkoff baltimore chop - April 3, 2009
Phew, can finally listen to the A's again
Had to (urp) listen to the Giants (blurch) in the car. Sorry, just threw up in my mouth again.
worldblee - April 3, 2009
Where does KTRB not get reception?
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
North Valley
Had the Sacramento station for a while, then it faded.
worldblee - April 3, 2009
That's pretty bad, when they're using a Sacramento Cable station
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
According to GameDay, Matt Holliday...
Loves to face: Change Up
Hates to face: Change up
GreenNGoldSooner - April 3, 2009
Similarly, Nomar....
Loves to face: Four-seam
Hates to face: Four-seam
GreenNGoldSooner - April 3, 2009
When Eveland faced Winn it had
Best pitch: Slider
Loves to face: Slider
Hates to face: Slider
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
And BoCro's Love/Hate pitch is the slider.
GreenNGoldSooner - April 3, 2009
Loves it: when it's coming
Hates it: After he has swung and missed.
worldblee - April 3, 2009
More like
Hates it: Most of the time
Loves it: DINGERZ!
ElQuesoCapitan - April 3, 2009
Leopold Bloom
Loves to face: um, no comment.
Hates to face: Lack of no-comment
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
wow that extra 10 bucks they want really is a value
Lovejoy - April 3, 2009
It has the same pitch for all hitters for some reason
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
So....
not only do I not have the A’s on any sort of audio source, but I now have spent the last 2 hours on the phone with DTV only to find out they can’t fix my receiver/TV issues over the phone and they’ll have to send a service man out to take a look….on Tuesday…..the 14th!!!!!!! So no TV or any of the million shows on my DVR for 1.5 weeks!
Oh and my friend called me a half hour before we were suppose to me up for drinks to cancel on me because his lastest fling wanted to hang out tonight. WTF. NOT PLEASED!
ZigFan31 - April 3, 2009
There's always booze, ZigFan31. Booze will be your friend.
Nick - April 3, 2009
And there's no blackout zone for booze...
…unless you live in a dry county.
GreenNGoldSooner - April 3, 2009
And then you can make your own
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
Down Copperhead road?
Lovejoy - April 3, 2009
I've seen him about a dozen times.
The earliest was about ’85?
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
Well, then you can hang out with booze's feisty cousin, moonshine
Nick - April 3, 2009
A bottle of wine it is!
I can’t believe how quiet it is in here. No TV. No radio. UGH!
ZigFan31 - April 3, 2009
Maybe you can read a book about the game?
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
The solution
Turn on gameday and make up your own play by play.
worldblee - April 3, 2009
You do that??
I thought I was the only one.
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
The technical term for that is "Buancast"
Nick - April 3, 2009
I do have Gameday on. Not the same. I need KK.
But how rude is my friend? We had plans to go out. He cancels 1/2 hour before because some girl he JUST met (only had 1 date) calls last minute to go out. Who does that????
AND he’s going out with her again on Sunday. Really??? He couldn’t wait? BOYS!
ZigFan31 - April 3, 2009
No, he couldn't.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
Clearly.
It so won’t last either. He’s Mr. Right Now.
ZigFan31 - April 3, 2009
You gotta get in where you fit in,
gotta take your cuts while the games in play.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
I don't know
I’ve heard of people blacking out from booze before…
Mike Moore Batting Cleanup - April 3, 2009
I don't remember ever doing that
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
killing spree.
it’s the only answer.
Don’t think.
Just get the guns out.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
probably not the most appropriate suggestion today
xbhaskarx - April 3, 2009
Oh yeah.
I’m not appropriate. They can’t take me anywhere.
And….
…wait, xbox, did you just tell me I was inappropriate?!
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
Wait, let me get another beer
And maybe post a new thread.
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
i'm a model citizen
xbhaskarx - April 3, 2009
Nick - April 3, 2009
Haha!
lynnzgal - April 3, 2009
vegAN ryAN - April 3, 2009
Nick - April 3, 2009
Way to bring it full circle.
vegAN ryAN - April 3, 2009
why do you guys post so many images, it makes the site harder to load for people with slow internet connections
xbhaskarx - April 3, 2009
I don't have any animations of people gettting hit in the nuts handy
Nick - April 3, 2009
Hmm...Barney's movie had heart, but "Football in the Groin" had a football in the groin.
xbhaskarx - April 3, 2009
I don’t know if it makes a difference but if you click on the subject line it collapses the picture so you can hide pics (if people use a subject).
Lovejoy - April 3, 2009
Next
something in black and white and finally something in the silent era…
Lovejoy - April 3, 2009
GreenNGoldSooner - April 3, 2009
This was pretty good.
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
Where are we in the game, guys?
Rated-R Superstar - April 3, 2009
We're not.
ElQuesoCapitan - April 3, 2009
Bondage
All tied up.
worldblee - April 3, 2009
Sixth?
Rated-R Superstar - April 3, 2009
Bottom of
worldblee - April 3, 2009
Yes.
lynnzgal - April 3, 2009
Holy cow, Warriors are winning!
I will have to surf between the two games.
worldblee - April 3, 2009
We played a great first half with only seven guys.
Rated-R Superstar - April 3, 2009
Yeah, we'll see if they run out of gas
worldblee - April 3, 2009
Joe Martinez looks like a zombie.
ElQuesoCapitan - April 3, 2009
Zombie plan.
Dude. I’m telling you.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
Somebody better get the lasers ready in case of a zombie attack.
walkoff baltimore chop - April 3, 2009
Good game for Eveland
6 innings, one run = happy Curt Young
worldblee - April 3, 2009
