none of them will ever care nearly as much as you do. And it’s frustrating.
Even my really good monkey, who’s loyal in weird, strange ways, and can put his head down and fly through his monkeywork, is capable of being very lazy.
The thing is you’ve got to evaluate the monkey properly. No monkey is perfect. My best monkey (the production monkey, not the design monkey) has faults, but his assets make up for it.
Ulysses (duh), Austerlitz, The Moviegoer, Death in the Family, The Book of Laughter and Forgetting, (actually anything by Kundera),. The Waves….for starters.
everyone be damned. I’ve never had anything as delicious as a Hot Link from the Saag’s stand with the sausage and the peppers and the hot mustard and ketchup and the kraut.

walkoff baltimore chop - April 3, 2009
Anyone played Left 4 Dead?
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
Heard about it, but no.
ElQuesoCapitan - April 3, 2009
I'm trying to decide it it's worthy.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
I've heard good things about it
But I’ve just disregarded it due to kool aid drinking fanboys.
ElQuesoCapitan - April 3, 2009
It's pretty well done
worldblee - April 3, 2009
Ian's got it,
let me ask.
lynnzgal - April 3, 2009
{feels inadequate for liking same things as 18 year-old}
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
My 16-yo
hates when I like what he likes.
Especially the girls.
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
Hmm
ElQuesoCapitan - April 3, 2009
Said he liked it but its time consuming.
lynnzgal - April 3, 2009
if you want to be fully prepared for the upcoming zombie apocalypse, it's worth playing.
xbhaskarx - April 3, 2009
I do.
And I take my zombie plan quite seriously.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
surprisingly not-terrible recent zombie move: dawn of the dead remake
xbhaskarx - April 3, 2009
Reeallly?
I like zombie movies.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
It is actually pretty good.
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
blah
I broke out in hives from calamine lotion. What can I put on it to make it stop itching???
gigglingone - April 3, 2009
Poison ivy?
GreenNGoldSooner - April 3, 2009
that's supposed to make it stop itching???
gigglingone - April 3, 2009
reverse psychology.
It’ll freak your skin out. Trust me.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
It'll itch so much that it...wont?
ElQuesoCapitan - April 3, 2009
Exactly.
It’s fool-proof.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
Kind of like
laughing to keep from crying.
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
or puching yourself in the groin
when you stub your toe!
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
why are you people so obsessed with groins?
xbhaskarx - April 3, 2009
Tee hee
ElQuesoCapitan - April 3, 2009
because many of us are
or were teenage boys
eastcoasta'sfan - April 3, 2009
Did that today!
Except the toe part!

Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
What about dude witches.
‘Cause I think that one’s a dude.
ElQuesoCapitan - April 3, 2009
Really??
Then never mind.
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
all you gotta do is punch them in the nose.
and they let go of you.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
You know
look past the flying monkees as friends, I could see myself with some like the Wicked One.
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
I've got monkeys.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
I know mijo
But do they fly? Cause I have to draw the line there.
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
They move
WAY too damn slow.
My god, there was almost monkeycide this morning. I was so angry at my monkeys.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
What happened?
I’m thinking of hiring some and I’d like to get some expert advice.
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
The problem is
none of them will ever care nearly as much as you do. And it’s frustrating.
Even my really good monkey, who’s loyal in weird, strange ways, and can put his head down and fly through his monkeywork, is capable of being very lazy.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
How many
monkeys would you say you have to go through before finding that special one? The one that does something before you even ask it?
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
Those are rare monkeys, man.
The thing is you’ve got to evaluate the monkey properly. No monkey is perfect. My best monkey (the production monkey, not the design monkey) has faults, but his assets make up for it.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
I hear ya
My delivery monkey makes you think he’s not always there, but clients love him. I mean, just adore him.
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
good with the bad.
when the bad becomes unbearable, then it’s time to get a new monkey.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
I've been there.
Had to get rid of one once. Broke my heart. But had to do it.
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
I just smother mine with a pillow.
bury them behind the sign shop. They’re better off that way.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
Yeah see
I need to start coming to you for advice before shit happens.
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
Calamine lotion?
ZigFan31 - April 3, 2009
Gravy?
Small rocks?
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
Calamine lotion.

WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
Not the whole thing....
…but here’s the first six minutes.
GreenNGoldSooner - April 3, 2009
They have Hannahan at 2B and Crosby at 3B?
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
HANNAHAN!
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
Good to see he works even without his head.
ElQuesoCapitan - April 3, 2009
Yay Landon!

Sheriff Powell guns him down
worldblee - April 3, 2009
I'm confused, is this the DLD or the game thread?
Maybe I wandered into the wrong one, there seems to be very little baseball in this thread….
gigglingone - April 3, 2009
Not too much
baseball on the field either. Unless you like defense.
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
there's very little baseball being played
xbhaskarx - April 3, 2009
We're playing ball.
Not much base.
ElQuesoCapitan - April 3, 2009
You were expecting play-by-play?
GreenNGoldSooner - April 3, 2009
Maybe that's because there's very little baseball on the field.
lynnzgal - April 3, 2009
GMTA!
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
(she does look good from behind)
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
quit it!
lynnzgal - April 3, 2009
k.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
Oh yeah
That’s why I let her walk a step or two in front of me. Faked a limp. Well, you know what I mean.
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
We hung in there longer than the Gnats TV crew
They pretty much stopped paying attention in the third inning.
Englishmajor - April 3, 2009
Way to work the walk, Jack
worldblee - April 3, 2009
"Hannahan's got one heck of an eyeball"
Discuss.
Englishmajor - April 3, 2009
It’s round?
Rated-R Superstar - April 3, 2009
LOL!
lynnzgal - April 3, 2009
That's some observation
ElQuesoCapitan - April 3, 2009
It came out when they removed his head.
walkoff baltimore chop - April 3, 2009
So he's now
-just- an eyeball?
ElQuesoCapitan - April 3, 2009
HANNAHAN!
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
That's hilarious!
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
OMG, a bunt from the A's
worldblee - April 3, 2009
Did it work?
I’m in DC with no MLB package. Need good PBP
Mike Moore Batting Cleanup - April 3, 2009
Got Jack to 2nd
worldblee - April 3, 2009
Denorfia!
Englishmajor - April 3, 2009
Denorfia's a closeted homosexual from the 40s?
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
Who isn't?
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
I'm not from the 40s.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
Is that The Scarlet Pimpernel?
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
demmed Scarlet Pimpernel!
lynnzgal - April 3, 2009
He's here, he's there...
…he’s everywhere?
GreenNGoldSooner - April 3, 2009
hiya, game thread
Scarlet Pimpernel is one of my favorite movies.
stormtown - April 3, 2009
And books.
lynnzgal - April 3, 2009
Book?
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
Yes, there is a book.
lynnzgal - April 3, 2009
I meant what is a "book"?
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
No, my favorite books are
Ulysses (duh), Austerlitz, The Moviegoer, Death in the Family, The Book of Laughter and Forgetting, (actually anything by Kundera),. The Waves….for starters.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
Hi Stormtown!
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
amazing
how styles come back
Lovejoy - April 3, 2009
Denorfia's roster photo looks like his name should be
Ben or something.

Italy get's K'd

DAMN IT!
Round Table has a frickin’ MEATBALL PIZZA?!
That’s it. i’m loading the Honda up tonight.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
Yayyyy!
lynnzgal - April 3, 2009
Ah the days before cholesterol.....
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
Can you please bring me a new DVR?
I’ve resorted to watching LOST online.
ZigFan31 - April 3, 2009
Why not just renew Gameday Audio?
lynnzgal - April 3, 2009
That would be the easy solution.
At least to the A’s problem. Doesn’t help that I don’t have a TV or DVR.
ZigFan31 - April 3, 2009
it's time for you to investigate the
morally-questionable world of torrents.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
it's only $14.95 for that Korachy goodness
stormtown - April 3, 2009
You mean gooiness.
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
You realize I'll get no A's games on TV all of next week?
When normally, I’d get them all.
ZigFan31 - April 3, 2009
Aren't you in SoCal? Land of the team the A's are playing against???
gigglingone - April 3, 2009
I guess I'm going to 4 games in Anaheim.
ZigFan31 - April 3, 2009
yay!
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
Spend the $14.95.
It’s a long season, and quite worth it.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
I got a room.
I know, I know.
Corner. The far corner.
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
Do you live in the woods? Go to a bar for games. Drink slowly if need be.
Lovejoy - April 3, 2009
Or a lot, whichever you prefer
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
I don't think they'd show the game in a lot.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
Drive in bar?
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
Only in Texas.
and Ohio.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
How have I not
heard about this?
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
There is no Round Table in DC
You guys are torturing me.
Mike Moore Batting Cleanup - April 3, 2009
You must have pizza in DC that's fairly decent
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
It's all grease.
Big huge slices, but the grease is overwhelming.
Any changes to the lineup yet?
Mike Moore Batting Cleanup - April 3, 2009
Forget the lineup
Tell me more about the grease. I must know about the grease!!
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
mmm bacon
stormtown - April 3, 2009
I love you.
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
BACON!
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
Load up that Honda
big boy. I’ll meet you halfway.
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
halfway's Texas.
It’s scary there, but they got good food.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
And Steph
will be there tomorrow!
She’s always wanted to meet you. Yes, I gush about you all the time.
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
You guys scare me.
ZigFan31 - April 3, 2009
Come on now
It’s cute. Admit it.
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
Oh you'll laugh when you see the window dressings I put up in his house.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
And what kind of sheets?
ZigFan31 - April 3, 2009
Some nice, basic sheets.
600 count thread, of course, but…simple’s better.
It looks cleaner, let’s you accent the angles of the room.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
so at Goodyear they had a "Cleveland dog"
Hot dog, a strip of bacon, barbecue sauce, cheddar cheese, diced onions.
stormtown - April 3, 2009
Yummy!
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
Naughty.
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
sometimes you don't get enough fat in your hot dogs alone
stormtown - April 3, 2009
As far as hot dogs go,
everyone be damned. I’ve never had anything as delicious as a Hot Link from the Saag’s stand with the sausage and the peppers and the hot mustard and ketchup and the kraut.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
KETCHUP?!
lynnzgal - April 3, 2009
Nobody, I mean nobody, puts ketchup on a hot dog.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
...I put ketchup on a hot dog.
walkoff baltimore chop - April 3, 2009
Not the Hot Links I hope
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
Please not the hot links.
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
No. Just veggie dogs. Those are really the only kind of hot dogs I eat.
walkoff baltimore chop - April 3, 2009
Except you?
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
Oh you poor, young fools
viddy well, brother, viddy well.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
You aren’t from Chicago are you?
Lovejoy - April 3, 2009
I am from South Bend, Indiana.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
South Bend....
it sounds like dancing.
Englishmajor - April 3, 2009
I left when I realized we could.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
They write stuff like this in Chicago
Lovejoy - April 3, 2009
brb arteries clogging.
walkoff baltimore chop - April 3, 2009
Chicago and South Bend are about 45 minutes apart.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
Ya the Louisiana Hot Link is my favorite as well
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
All this dog and bacon talk
is getting me awfully close to a CGV.
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
Go for it, I'll recommend it.
That should cancel out any flags
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
Well, there's Athens..
And they did ok at Thermopylae
Mike Moore Batting Cleanup - April 3, 2009
Hannahan, Pennington, Denorfia, Barton, Casilla, Wuertz
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
It could be Wuertz!
GreenNGoldSooner - April 3, 2009
So that’s where he is.
Lovejoy - April 3, 2009
WOW
Englishmajor - April 3, 2009
Yay Cliff and Daric!
Did he do the splits?
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
"It looks like Santiago Casilla is ready to take the next step..."
Which would be what? Going on the DL?
GreenNGoldSooner - April 3, 2009
changing his name again?
I know, let it go
stormtown - April 3, 2009
steve holm!
xbhaskarx - April 3, 2009
Did you notice his mother's name was Eve Holt?
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
I'm saying it over and over and I'm not getting it.

I love our pitching tonight
worldblee - April 3, 2009
I thought we were hitting this year.
Mike Moore Batting Cleanup - April 3, 2009
The defense sounds good too
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
what does bad defense sound like?
xbhaskarx - April 3, 2009
One hand clapping.
GreenNGoldSooner - April 3, 2009
Ray making excuses
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
Buck Fail
ZigFan31 - April 3, 2009
He tried anyway. It was a good idea.
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
I can't see or hear anything. I was just guessing.
ZigFan31 - April 3, 2009
And like I say
You can’t blame a guy for trying.
Or is it you can blame a guy for trying? I always forget.
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
Two out, Wilson dealing.....you takes your chances
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
See?
I was right that other time!
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
How was that out?
Not that they showed a replay.

GreenNGoldSooner - April 3, 2009
What's up with the Krusty the Clown hair
On Gallagher’s gameday picture
worldblee - April 3, 2009
Gallagher walked Sandoval.
Seriously.
vegAN ryAN - April 3, 2009
He can't make the team now.
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
Or ever.
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
GreenNGoldSooner - April 3, 2009
wtf did gallagher just walk pablo sandoval...
xbhaskarx - April 3, 2009
ElQuesoCapitan - April 3, 2009
Or Pablo Escobar?
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
Killing Pablo...
Great book.
Mike Moore Batting Cleanup - April 3, 2009
Can't say I like the ear flaps
I know it’s cold and all, but it’s still a bad look.
bear88 - April 3, 2009
are you talking about Gallagher's hair?
stormtown - April 3, 2009
I like you.
You should be here more.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
THAT WAS STRIKE 3!
Fucking ump was too busy watching the runner.

WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
I love me some Powell!
ZigFan31 - April 3, 2009
And there's a lot to love!
lynnzgal - April 3, 2009
Where is he in the hierarchy with
Ziegler, Gio and Sweeney?
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
You forgot Blevins.
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
Yes. Sorry.
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
Blevins is first.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
Hummm....
Blevins, Gio, Ziggy, Powell, Sweeney…
ZigFan31 - April 3, 2009
Ryan is so 2008?
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
Yea....
but he came back with one sweet physiche. That boy is all legs too.
ZigFan31 - April 3, 2009
We share a deep, unjustified love for the strawman.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
I do heart him. A lot.
ZigFan31 - April 3, 2009
Me too. With no real good reason as to why.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
Long and lanky.
lynnzgal - April 3, 2009
I like blonde and wavy though.
ala T-Buck.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
Definite plus.
ZigFan31 - April 3, 2009
hey!
Randy Johnson
Lovejoy - April 3, 2009

Sweeney is nice to look at.
But not really my type. He doesn’t make me squel like the others.

Landon friggin powell
ElQuesoCapitan - April 3, 2009

walkoff baltimore chop - April 3, 2009
I never understood the attraction of Fallon.
He seems really insipid.
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
He was NBC's 35millionth choice
after the first 34,999,999 candidates rejected
ElQuesoCapitan - April 3, 2009
Extras!
worldblee - April 3, 2009
Innings or bases?
Mike Moore Batting Cleanup - April 3, 2009
Innings

67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009

You need to be here more too.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
Yeah
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
I am always here?
Maybe.
louismg - April 3, 2009
Louis, are you God?
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
Or Big Brother
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
I doubt both.
I am the oldest of five, so to my younger siblings, I am big brother.
louismg - April 3, 2009
No, that's Ben.
He owns the sign shop.

Did you help the humans find Earth?

Louis Gray facts are printed here:
I can not endorse most. http://friendfeed.com/rooms/louisgrayfacts
louismg - April 3, 2009
Powell doing everything tonight
oblique - April 3, 2009
He hasn't stolen a base yet
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
He didn't try.
QED
oblique - April 3, 2009
Slacker
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
True.
oblique - April 3, 2009
Just nailed down the backup catcher job, I would guess
If he didn’t have it already
worldblee - April 3, 2009
Always root for Rajai to stick it to the Giants
stormtown - April 3, 2009
or the Giants outfielders to stick it to themselves
stormtown - April 3, 2009
This sounds painful
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
HANNAHAN!
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
The Giants fear the Jack
Better to walk him than face his awesomeness.
worldblee - April 3, 2009
Bases loaded, nobody out!
This could give Marquez his recap, right here!
louismg - April 3, 2009
Wait!!
I have to get dressed first.
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
You don't have to dress for a recap.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
But you said
Oh right, it’s the other way around.
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
Okay, I just came in.
Can anyone give me a recap don’t want to read EVERYTHING! Plus it’s almost tomorrow here in Texas. :D
LiZaRdReVoLuTiOn - April 3, 2009
Well, the most important thing is that Don and me will be in your living room on Tuesday.
Have some ribs ready.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
I'll be dreaming of Leslie Howard and bacon
but I’ve only been here since the 8th
stormtown - April 3, 2009
Zombies are gonna take over
Will you join our anti-zombie plans?
walkoff baltimore chop - April 3, 2009
you know,
it’s amazing anyone will ever speak to any of us.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
Yeah, I’m pretty surprised.
walkoff baltimore chop - April 3, 2009
Are y'all on crack or something? I said RE-CAP!
LiZaRdReVoLuTiOn - April 3, 2009
you don't need to be dressed for a recap.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
Are you in a warehouse filled with zombies or something?
ElQuesoCapitan - April 3, 2009
Why would I be in a warehouse filled with zombies?
walkoff baltimore chop - April 3, 2009
That's not a "no"
oblique - April 3, 2009
Does the
Cheese Captain have knowledge?! Inside knowledge?!
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
I think he does.
Queso, what do you know?!
walkoff baltimore chop - April 3, 2009
I think you're in a warehouse filled with zombies!!
ElQuesoCapitan - April 3, 2009
No, I'm not!
walkoff baltimore chop - April 3, 2009
he knows where the zombies will launch their attack.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
He mentioned a warehouse.
It’s gotta be a warehouse somewhere.
walkoff baltimore chop - April 3, 2009
He's on the A's website here.
So, in Oakland? Or as far away from Oakland as possible?
Florida?
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
Nah, it's gotta be somewhere that no one thinks of.
Stockton, perhaps.
walkoff baltimore chop - April 3, 2009
I was thinking more like Russia.
ElQuesoCapitan - April 3, 2009
But anyone could see that from their house.
walkoff baltimore chop - April 3, 2009
Exactly. A quick access point to anywhere.
ElQuesoCapitan - April 3, 2009
The one you're in, balty!
ElQuesoCapitan - April 3, 2009
-_-
walkoff baltimore chop - April 3, 2009
You know what they say about denial.
ElQuesoCapitan - April 3, 2009
That it's a river in Egypt?
walkoff baltimore chop - April 3, 2009
Hi, we're the A's! We can't score with the bases loaded!
Double play? seriously?
louismg - April 3, 2009
Home to third DP
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
Worst. Play. Ever.
vegAN ryAN - April 3, 2009
AAAARGH
worldblee - April 3, 2009
no
fenway. playoffs... but close.tmac - April 3, 2009
come on rajai...
xbhaskarx - April 3, 2009
Davis
He’s fast, but he’s not a trustworthy baserunner. In fairness, it was a good fake.
bear88 - April 3, 2009
Some wild pitch action
ElQuesoCapitan - April 3, 2009
Yes!
Finally!
lynnzgal - April 3, 2009
Thanks for the gift, Giants
worldblee - April 3, 2009
And then the next one!
worldblee - April 3, 2009
We score! A's score!
Nice play, Giants. :)
louismg - April 3, 2009
Yay Jack!
Thanks Luis and Steve.
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
HANNAHAN!
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
LOL
xbhaskarx - April 3, 2009
There we go!
ElQuesoCapitan - April 3, 2009
If you throw 7 or 9 wild pitches we will score eventually!
stormtown - April 3, 2009
Why 9?
The batter swung at two of them?
oblique - April 3, 2009
because I'm too drunk to type the 8
stormtown - April 3, 2009
I liked my theory better.
Or maybe I’m just jealous of your drunkenness.
oblique - April 3, 2009
the truth is tawdry
stormtown - April 3, 2009
Mostly I just think it's funny
that your comment actually prompted me to do the math. 4 for the walk, one for each base…
oblique - April 3, 2009
I think we should have that
crocheted on a pillow.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
My mom can do that.
Probably tonight. While baking a pecan pie.
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
Mmmmm.....us Texans sure like some pecan pie! :D
LiZaRdReVoLuTiOn - April 3, 2009
bring a pie, don.
we’ll need it to procure ribs.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
Done deal.
Her pies. I’d perform hideous acts for her pies.
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
What a coincidence
I’ve performed hideous acts and also ended up with herpies.
oblique - April 3, 2009
another coincidence:
I’ve committed hideous acts for hair pies.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
slut
I like it!
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
I'm not sure I like this conversation anymore.
LiZaRdReVoLuTiOn - April 3, 2009
Should we go back to pies?
Will that help?
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
I don't think we can meet at Liz's house.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
Nah, I'm quite a shy girl.
LiZaRdReVoLuTiOn - April 3, 2009
All we really want is ribs.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
CANNIBALS
ElQuesoCapitan - April 3, 2009
(zombies)
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
Hummm
that’s what the non-shy girls always say.
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
Well I mean it.
LiZaRdReVoLuTiOn - April 3, 2009
All we really want is ribs.
Truly.
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
That's what they all say.
LiZaRdReVoLuTiOn - April 3, 2009
Well I mean it.
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
I see where you are going with this.
LiZaRdReVoLuTiOn - April 3, 2009
Actually
the only place I’m going is to write a recap.
{adjusts halo}
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
Okay
LiZaRdReVoLuTiOn - April 3, 2009
Ditto
ZigFan31 - April 3, 2009
Doc said it
was just a cold sore!
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
I'm not sure which is more pathetic
The fact that the Giants just gave up a run on two consecutive wild pitches, or the fact that this, apparently, is the only way the A’s can score…
oblique - April 3, 2009
Right?
And they had trouble doing that!
lynnzgal - April 3, 2009
I think they can do it again
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
The latter
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
This sequence
isn’t a great advertisement for Bay Area baseball.
Then again, a lot of these guys either won’t be on their respective teams or will be on the bench anyway.
bear88 - April 3, 2009
Perdomo
is pitching himself off the team.
bear88 - April 3, 2009
domo origato, Mr perdomo?
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
Sure
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
Ziggy up in the pen for the save
worldblee - April 3, 2009
Should he have thrown underhand instead?
I think that would have had better success.
louismg - April 3, 2009
They're taking out Perdomo
WTF? Why mess with success. For us, I mean.
worldblee - April 3, 2009
They think we're the enemy.
Those meanies.
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
rajai, perdomo: battle of the FAILs
xbhaskarx - April 3, 2009
I'd see the Bee Gees.
LiZaRdReVoLuTiOn - April 3, 2009
CGV
xbhaskarx - April 3, 2009
Which one's us?
ElQuesoCapitan - April 3, 2009
You know, y'all?
It’s gonna be a fun year here.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
Word.
walkoff baltimore chop - April 3, 2009
Anything to make your exile enjoyable.
lynnzgal - April 3, 2009
you know, there are a couple other things you can do.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
pecan pie?
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
is that what you call it?
stormtown - April 3, 2009
Works every time.
Except on Wednesdays. Can’t figure it out.
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
Heh, heh...
lynnzgal - April 3, 2009
You could send me some Old Chicago from Petaluma.
I’d settle for Round Table.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
I'll work on that.
lynnzgal - April 3, 2009
Irony
So Friday Night Lights is pre-empted for this game.
I already saw the pre-empted episode in January on DirecTV.
But I might not see the A’s on Monday because of a dispute between Comcast and DirecTV.
Hmm.
bear88 - April 3, 2009
that's not fair.
bear88 should get all the A’s games. I protest to the universe.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
It's a black fly in your chardonnay.
GreenNGoldSooner - April 3, 2009
Lefties
Ziggy’s going to see a lot of them.
bear88 - April 3, 2009
He's not afraid
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
He fears nothing!
ElQuesoCapitan - April 3, 2009
no, that's Blevins.
Blevins fears nothing.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
nothing except boiling water.
or so I hear
drink409 - April 3, 2009
he fears no boiling water.
cause he’s got ICE WATER pumping through those little girl arms of his!
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
The arms are fine. The legs need a little beefing up.
ZigFan31 - April 3, 2009
but...
how many lefties can team X have on the bench?
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
3?
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
So why did he walk a righty?
ZigFan31 - April 3, 2009
Drama
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
Figures
He retires two lefty hitters, then walks the righty.
And now, another lefty…
bear88 - April 3, 2009
It really is opposite day.
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
toldja.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
you did.
Wait, you didn’t!
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
go write a recap.
or don’t.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
great
Now I’m not sure what not to do.
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
Renteria walks on 4 pitches.
ElQuesoCapitan - April 3, 2009
C'mon Ziggy
You can do it.
worldblee - April 3, 2009
thank you
tmac - April 3, 2009
A's Win!
On the road!
louismg - April 3, 2009
Yayyyy!
We win!
lynnzgal - April 3, 2009
Yay!
We won.
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
YEEEEEEAAAAAAH!
worldblee - April 3, 2009
It's a great and glorious victory
I’m off to eat a late dinner.
bear88 - April 3, 2009
Victoray!
ElQuesoCapitan - April 3, 2009
Good Win!
drink409 - April 3, 2009
I love how the prognosticators
Are all saying Ziggy won’t be able to replicate his success of last year. He’s looked just as good so far.
worldblee - April 3, 2009
Stupid prognosticators
WaddellCanseco - April 3, 2009
Whew and yay!
On to Oakland tomorrow!
LibrariAN - April 3, 2009
So now what happens?
Oh, right.
I mean, oh, write.
67MARQUEZ - April 3, 2009
Celebrate!
ElQuesoCapitan - April 3, 2009
Pretty
Got any in green and gold?
LibrariAN - April 3, 2009
Angry Sean - April 3, 2009
the zombies were defeated tonight.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
Are they shut in the warehouse?
LibrariAN - April 3, 2009
yup.
they fear the wrath of Blevins.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
Blevins is a zombie hunter?
ElQuesoCapitan - April 3, 2009
(shhh)
don’t blow his cover.
Leopold Bloom - April 3, 2009
Oops.
ElQuesoCapitan - April 3, 2009
(gasp)
walkoff baltimore chop - April 3, 2009
I mean the zombies, not the fireworks
LibrariAN - April 3, 2009
DID EVERYONE LEAVE?
THERE’S A RECAP UP!
WHY AM I YELLING??
