He panics. This was Cameron’s inning and unless you feel he “has nothing” there’s no reason to get Breslow and Casilla up just because a couple guys reach base in a 6-1 game. Really what should happen is Cameron should go 2-3 innings. If he starts to implode, you have time to get someone up later in the inning. Let your guys work out of trouble without always getting other relievers up for no reason.
This total hotness falls for a dork in a ski hat, it gets on my nerves, the fucking thing is an insult to all men, who the fuck here has ever had a woman fall in love with them constantly wearing that hat? Shit.
90s, my good friend had irrational hatred of Hugh Grant. I think it was somehow triggered by his huge teeth. Regardless, it made no sense. Every time Hugh Grant would come up, Graham would go crazy like a corgie at a doorbell.
At some point, we just to accept his irrational hatred and move on.
We love you, Paradox, and your irrational hatred of ski hat guy. We’d help you beat him up if he were here.
beane turned 6 players into 11 prospects in 07/08…bye bye giambi/holliday/kennedy/cabrera/nomar/crosby/springer…imagine the possibilites…50 more prospects!!
I don’t think Kennedy knew his name, or at least couldn’t think of it on the spot during the interview. It’s probably the latter, but amused me for some reason.

I was thinking Zero
You win.
Joey C. - May 25, 2009
second?
mrbendy - May 25, 2009
Wait, why are they wearing red hats?
Have they all joined Mexican gangs?
Leopold Bloom - May 25, 2009
Bob Geren better not be invited to this BBQ I'm going to.
thesteve9x - May 25, 2009
if he is,
kick him in the nads for me.
Leopold Bloom - May 25, 2009
Will do.
I’ll also spit in his food.
thesteve9x - May 25, 2009
Do the spitting first.
He’ll be wary if you kick him in the nads first.
Leopold Bloom - May 25, 2009
It'll be a never ending barrage of terrible for Geren if he shows his face.
thesteve9x - May 25, 2009
good attitude.
he’s a keeper.
Leopold Bloom - May 25, 2009
okay... Springer in the 8th and Bailey in the 9th
we should win by one run.
FoolshGame22 - May 25, 2009
Springer better not even warm up
Trainman - May 25, 2009
Geren has gotta restore his confidence...
a quick 1-2-3 eighth inning with a 5-run lead. Easy, right?
FoolshGame22 - May 25, 2009
The fans sounded extra happy today with that song.
I hate them. All of them.
67MARQUEZ - May 25, 2009
They are.
I hear the weather’s perfect. The crowds nice and happy. The sun’s shining, the grass looks pristine.
Just a picture perfect day.
Leopold Bloom - May 25, 2009
Screw off, Bloom.
Oh, and rawr.
67MARQUEZ - May 25, 2009
...and, since you're not there,
they might actually win.
Leopold Bloom - May 25, 2009
So here's the problem I do have with Geren:
He panics. This was Cameron’s inning and unless you feel he “has nothing” there’s no reason to get Breslow and Casilla up just because a couple guys reach base in a 6-1 game. Really what should happen is Cameron should go 2-3 innings. If he starts to implode, you have time to get someone up later in the inning. Let your guys work out of trouble without always getting other relievers up for no reason.
Nico - May 25, 2009
Word
OptimistPrime - May 25, 2009
he overworks it.
Leopold Bloom - May 25, 2009
Geren must have an incentive clause based on the amount of trips to the mound during the season
OptimistPrime - May 25, 2009
Sleepy time...going horizontal for the 7th, 8th & 9th
ohtobe21likehuston - May 25, 2009
watch out for the kitties.
Leopold Bloom - May 25, 2009
She is too hot to be with him
‘n no, the dork doesn’t deserve to have her on account of that stupid ski hat!
paradox - May 25, 2009
I hear he wears it to bed, too.
Drives her crazy. In a good way.
67MARQUEZ - May 25, 2009
you know how to drive all the women folk crazy, don't you?
mrbendy - May 25, 2009
I do.
But I’m going to reveal those secrets here.
67MARQUEZ - May 25, 2009
*Not* going to.
67MARQUEZ - May 25, 2009
well, I think I've got your next book pegged.

No doubt, hermano.
I’ll get started on a mock-up.

being a NRAF....what is this damned commercial you think of?
mrbendy - May 25, 2009
some phone commercial
This total hotness falls for a dork in a ski hat, it gets on my nerves, the fucking thing is an insult to all men, who the fuck here has ever had a woman fall in love with them constantly wearing that hat? Shit.
paradox - May 25, 2009
how about Corky?
didn’t he always wear a hat?
Leopold Bloom - May 25, 2009
He doesn't have to listen to you, Becca
Joey C. - May 25, 2009
you know, in the mid to late
90s, my good friend had irrational hatred of Hugh Grant. I think it was somehow triggered by his huge teeth. Regardless, it made no sense. Every time Hugh Grant would come up, Graham would go crazy like a corgie at a doorbell.
At some point, we just to accept his irrational hatred and move on.
We love you, Paradox, and your irrational hatred of ski hat guy. We’d help you beat him up if he were here.
Leopold Bloom - May 25, 2009
[smiles]
I’m fine, I gotta cook, it was something to chew on, is all, the game drags. Fucking bunt outs.
paradox - May 25, 2009
Seriously though, have you ever tried wearing a ski hat to the bar? Maybe he is on to something
OptimistPrime - May 25, 2009
you do it
Get back to us, brother.
paradox - May 25, 2009
Will keep you posted....want photos? ;)
OptimistPrime - May 25, 2009
no doubt!
Leopold Bloom - May 25, 2009
I have
My ears were too warm, and I think I was just a little TOO cute for everyone. Not recommended.
thesteve9x - May 25, 2009
unless you're trying to sneak up on Geren.
Leopold Bloom - May 25, 2009
I have a friend who did that.
It worked for him, but he likes weird chicks.
LongLiveLangerhans - May 25, 2009
Oh I love weird chicks.
Life is so much more interesting. Never mind. I was thinking crazy chicks, not weird.
67MARQUEZ - May 25, 2009
I'll take weird over crazy any day.
LongLiveLangerhans - May 25, 2009
I usually end up with a lot of both.
Leopold Bloom - May 25, 2009
Speaking of...
one of my ex’s is in town this week, and wants to hang out.
This one.
67MARQUEZ - May 25, 2009
dude.
Leopold Bloom - May 25, 2009
So stay away right?
67MARQUEZ - May 25, 2009
Well, it's one way or the other.
Either completely avoid her like the plague, or jump in 1000%
Leopold Bloom - May 25, 2009
If the A's start losing again, I'll know who to blame.
LongLiveLangerhans - May 25, 2009
In most cases, yeah.
‘Cept when I’m bored.
67MARQUEZ - May 25, 2009
dinner and a show.
Leopold Bloom - May 25, 2009

OaklandNative - May 25, 2009
I have to go to the grocery store
Have fun, all, it was real.
paradox - May 25, 2009
pick me up some hot dogs
and some buns.
thesteve9x - May 25, 2009
Don't forget the ski hat.
67MARQUEZ - May 25, 2009
don't wear the ski hat in the store.
you’ll get arrested.
Leopold Bloom - May 25, 2009
That's a ski mask
Ski hats mean all the checkers will hit on you.. ALL the checkers.
thesteve9x - May 25, 2009
Sold!
Joey C. - May 25, 2009
she looked me in the eye and said, "Cash or credit?"
Leopold Bloom - May 25, 2009
Meadow Summer = Muy Hot
Joey C. - May 25, 2009
Agrd.
Kinda creepy, though, because she was just a little girl when that show started.
Leopold Bloom - May 25, 2009
Meadow Soprano, I meant
Jesus, this Widmer is going straight to the dome. Anyway, yeah, that’s always a little weird.
Joey C. - May 25, 2009
And I did (something) in my pants
or in this case.. your pants
thesteve9x - May 25, 2009
Damn it, Steve!
I just washed those!
Leopold Bloom - May 25, 2009
It's just mustard.
Oh wait, that’s not mustard.
thesteve9x - May 25, 2009
Come again?
What? I didn’t hear you.
67MARQUEZ - May 25, 2009
Hahaha
well played.
thesteve9x - May 25, 2009
can i get a MGD?

How 'bout another Buck shot

Joey C. - May 25, 2009
David Price allows a leadoff walk then a double
Then strikes out the next 3 to deny Indians of runs and make them look like the A’s

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
Rated-R Superstar - May 25, 2009
Casilla warming up
SwisherThresher - May 25, 2009
Idle, innocuous chatter on Game Threads=nothing happening in game
and right now, I will take that for another two innings and call it a good day

a) (insert name) f^%&$%#$ sucks
b) FIRE GEREN!!!11
c) “this teams sucks”
mrbendy - May 25, 2009
+1000
OptimistPrime - May 25, 2009
Is that a mating call in the stands I hear?
What is going on there?
thesteve9x - May 25, 2009
strange, I thought the EXACT same thing.
Leopold Bloom - May 25, 2009
was just about to ask that....
you’d think we were at an indians game
mrbendy - May 25, 2009
good acoustics in the Coli when it is empty
FoolshGame22 - May 25, 2009
i would HATE to be anyone sitting anywhere near that guy
mrbendy - May 25, 2009
there may be a wild turkey loose at the Coliseum.
Leopold Bloom - May 25, 2009
or an howler monkey.
mrbendy - May 25, 2009
No, he's tucked away safely in SF to my knowledge...
Leopold Bloom - May 25, 2009
"to your knowledge"
mrbendy - May 25, 2009
good point.
Leopold Bloom - May 25, 2009
Good to see Bailey get more time off
Trainman - May 25, 2009
really thought something bad had just happened....
but no, some kid got a hole-in-one.
mrbendy - May 25, 2009
me too.
I was like, has the president been shot?!
Leopold Bloom - May 25, 2009
If we could just get a .260-.270 hitter at third
It would make all the difference in the world
OptimistPrime - May 25, 2009
With 20-25 HR power
Nico - May 25, 2009
vince sounded so sad to report that on the air.
Jjjsixsix - May 25, 2009
seriously.
mrbendy - May 25, 2009
Hanny JUST got his head above .200, only to slip back down
OptimistPrime - May 25, 2009
such a vicious cycle.
mrbendy - May 25, 2009
Kennedy!
67MARQUEZ - May 25, 2009
Another Hit
Jesus, he’s on fire
Trainman - May 25, 2009
KENNEDY WTF
4 for 4.
thesteve9x - May 25, 2009
On base 5 times today
You sir, are amazing.
thesteve9x - May 25, 2009
Kennedy's a stud.
Leopold Bloom - May 25, 2009
You freaking can't stop kennedy.
BEASTLY
ElQuesoCapitan - May 25, 2009
Hmm?
Nico - May 25, 2009
no!
stay away from the dark side! It leads only to pain and anger.
Leopold Bloom - May 25, 2009
Baaaaaa, humbug.
Nico - May 25, 2009
(shhh...quiet, Daisy...)
Leopold Bloom - May 25, 2009
Please people give beane credit for this trade
buckfan6 - May 25, 2009

thank you

Leopold Bloom - May 25, 2009
Adam Kennedy.
Jeez. Can we give the rest of the team what he’s having.
AsFanInIowa - May 25, 2009
this is just crazy
Kennedy, whoa
SwisherThresher - May 25, 2009
adam kennedy ... john mabry? but ... better?
what’s going on?! seriously now.
Jjjsixsix - May 25, 2009
Shoot, Nico,
maybe this could be 2005…
Leopold Bloom - May 25, 2009
Jeez Kurt...
can’t you watch Kennedy and try to emulate what he’s doing?
AsFanInIowa - May 25, 2009
that could be his problem.
just plain caught looking.
mrbendy - May 25, 2009
Dear Mark Ellis
You have been replaced.
OptimistPrime - May 25, 2009
.507 OBP done with mostly hits and only 7 walks
Trainman - May 25, 2009
Haven't they seen the commercials?
Don’t throw at Zooks head like that!
thesteve9x - May 25, 2009
Kennedy, billy sent us an angel to save us.
ak_A - May 25, 2009

too bad thats still 2 months away
Asfan4ever723 - May 25, 2009
He got Real Life on his good side

thesteve9x - May 25, 2009
ellis must feel like a fool
always popping up to short RF…watch and learn how to hit again
Asfan4ever723 - May 25, 2009
Ellis could never have a streak like this
at least half of the AB’s would be pop ups
Trainman - May 25, 2009
Iwamura out for year
Say what you will about the other issues facing this team, but that was one fortunate pickup in Adam Kennedy.
jasonthea - May 25, 2009
theyll have aybar/zobrist/brignac to fill in
Asfan4ever723 - May 25, 2009
Andrew Bailey up in the bullpen
This message brought to you by the “Are you fucking kidding me?” Society.
Nico - May 25, 2009
Hopefully it just to look up into the stands to see if there are any pretty girls
OptimistPrime - May 25, 2009
So glad he didn't have to come in.
DaSwinginA's - May 25, 2009

thesteve9x - May 25, 2009
WOOHOO!!!!
Leaving Cameron in….good non move today Geren
OptimistPrime - May 25, 2009
It was - exactly how you should play this scenario
Getting three relievers up for nothing was the problematic part. On the actual big league mound, made all the right moves.
Nico - May 25, 2009
This AK guy is pretty good to
buckfan6 - May 25, 2009
is he driving to all these places?!
Leopold Bloom - May 25, 2009

Kennedy interview
“Working hard with the hitting coach here…”
I don’t think Kennedy knew his name, or at least couldn’t think of it on the spot during the interview. It’s probably the latter, but amused me for some reason.
bear88 - May 25, 2009
either AK is being nice to the hitting coach or
the coach CAN work with hitters who listen.
