Seems to be a bit of room, eh?
Yes, but how big are the closets?
Approximately 48 dead hookers worth.
"Fully loaded"

“Yeah, with dead whores!”

"I've never seen so many dead hookers!"

“Lord knows I have.”

that was the best line.

winner.

I'm just ridiculously happy that someone else has seen Dirty Work
underrated.

Particularly that scene.

i love that film
You have fine taste, sir
Gymnastics.
WHERE?!?

{empties chamber}

A lot of sites

don’t change threads at all.

Sheesh.

that ain't us, 67M.
Cust scored a Rickey run?

LOL never thought I’d hear those two mentioned in the same sentence

Damnit.

Fever’s back up to 100. I hate being sick.

that sucks- get better!

that would fetch a pretty penny up in St. Pete.

What a nice cowbell!

I gotta fever, and the only prescription...is more cowbell
did I see that jack Cust stole a base!!!
yeah, and Brick killed a guy!
That reminds me, you might want to lay low for a while, Brick
yes

we’re in hell. bundle up, it’s cold in here.

Make me not hate you, Matt Holliday.
Didn't Kelly Downs wear #37?

Why would a guy named Downs want to look like Kelly Downs? That’s not his son, is it?

that sucks
meant for pam
I like where that's headed.
He runs well when he f-ing feels like it.
Oh, QQ already.
pocket queens?
Man, I was trying to think of a funny comment about you dressing in drag.

Can’t make it happen.

Yeah,

I’d look funny in drag.

Wait, I do look funny in drag. But it kinda turns me on.

I don't like him.
I couldn't tell.
OK, but he's the best player on the team

So there’s that.

Like that matters.
Good point.

I wish he wouldn’t play and Rajai Davis would just kinda slide over to left center.

Did. Did they...

Just call Geren a genius?

Well holy fucking shit.

why did they say Geren was a genius?
Because Jon Miller is really farking stupid
miller called geren a genius?
he's not stupid as much as he is

kinda brainless. I think it’s the end-result of being so close to Joe Morgan for so many years.

proof that idiocy is contagious???
yuppers.

Well, if you’ve got to listen to inanity repeatedly and not correct it and not counter it and feign approval, eventually you’d just start agreeing ot whatever bs was uttered, no?

jon miller must not be armed.
I MUST kill the queen!
Maybe they're comparing Geren to themselves?

I could see that.

For batting Cabrera fifth tonight.

And I’m not kidding.

They said something made him look like a genius

I’m guessing it was the Warriors’ management

And Fossee's comment on the matter?

“Uh…huh.”

He’s seen too fucking much of Geren’s genius this year.

Fosse*

Geren’s genius is obviously passing on to me.

I think they called him a "genus"

Homo Dummian

I didn't know that about him.
Bill King hated the Giants.
I love him even more now
That;s why I had to root for the rangers over the weekend.
Eeeps!

Ziggy vs. a lefty. Any lefty.

I take it back!
And got him out
Can someone tell me how crowded it is there?

I hear loud.

Well over 50 people.
and lurkers!
we like those.

they should comment more, tho.

well clearly you meant the game not the thread

heh, I’m dumb. It’s loud in here too!

always loud in here.

jump in. water’s warm.

KenKo said 30,000 or so near the beginning of the game
there you go.

musta missed it.

I don't think KK's spilled the beans yet.

He will.

yay strickout
Ziggy looks on top of his game
And by 'his game' I mean the Gnats
"Downs goes down"

Nice KK

Rowand's batting stance is so odd.

Invisible chair, or something.

Ron Cey

all the way.

This blog has nothing to do with Ron Cey, but it would be kinda funny if it did.

I always loved that title.

always makes me laugh.

or bat up butt syndrome
yay Ziggy!
six-out save??

looks reasonable.

Now that's the ziggy we saw last year
ZIGGY'S BACK!

Nice!

Holy crap, Ziggy made those guys look real bad that inning

Love it.

Nice job Ziggy!!!

Great inning.

Ziggy! Incidentally, Ziggy should stay in for the 9th

Unless the A’s score 3 runs or more, in which case go to Casilla.

or, if it gets to 10-1,

then go to Casilla.

Gotta build his confidence s-l-o-w-l-y.

Why I rag on Geren as much as I do:

“Andrew Bailey up in the A’s bullpen.” It really is ok to let your 8th inning reliever (who happens to be dominating right now) stay in even if…gasp…the Giants were to get someone on base!!!

Rajai Win!! 3B!!!
TRIPLE!

oooooooo I like triples.

at the Coli???

nice…
Tired of hearing about all the other parks’ “triples alley”..

RAJ CAN RUN FOREVER.
Fosse is so jealous.
Davis?

Hot damn!

Run Rajai! Run!!!!!!!!!!!!
Add on, dammit
Rajai non-fail??
Eventually, I'll get tired of using this

Looked like a single on contact
Oh god it feels like forever since we've seen a triple
Sweeney FAIL
Ryan. Seriously.
way to wait for your pitch there, Swoon.
Sweeney 1-3 in product out opportunities tonight
(Kallus goes to take Croz-mojo leak)
oh yes,

get out of here!

Go pee!

DUDE!!!!!!!

my urine has produced 3 RBI’s!. Kallus-pee MOJO!!!

If you constantly took mojo leaks, the A's would win the ALW this year.
it worked, run scored!!

apparently whatever you’re doing IS good mojo…

ew.

BTW, Kalus...

…you don’t need to, uhh, preserve your outputs to keep your mojo.

I hope.

apparently I do!!!
good job, kallus
damn page isn't loading

cdn2.sbnation.com for me

the new ads have made AN all wonky for me.
firefox + adblock = happiness
Adblock Plus FTW!
I'm using Adblock.

Not helping.

me neither.
i literally have zero ads on this page...not to turn this into a geek thread or anything
same.
yeah, but how many of you can speak Elvish?
Thank you, thank you very much.

Oh, sorry, I didn’t see the “h”.

Is there a version of AN in Klingon?
I imagine there's someone around here who can speak it.
which i suppose makes us non-contributing members :-)
yeah, that makes it worse.
:-(

the magic is broken!

Ewwwww, Merkin
I fortunately forgot what that was...
My roommate who is behaving Like a POS

turns on the slegnA game at 7:05 and makes a comment that the Angels are so good even though he’s a Yankee Fan. He is just doing it to piss me off.

He falls asleep on the couch and I turn up the radio just in time to hear Brad Hawpe hit a 3 run homer earlier.

I said, Fuck you and both of your teams and told him to do what he does best and that is drown himself with alcohol.

I am about to kick him out because he shows no respect in the alcohol department. I told him I do not want him drinking here so he drinks outside and then comes in drunk and is twice as obnoxious as the worst person you have ever met.

Go A’s

kick him out.

boundaries.

anyone who likes the yankees and slegnA do not deserve to live with you
exactly, that's 2 strikes right there
...
anyone who likes the yankees and slegnA do not deserve to live with you
i was trying to be civil

lol

civility is not needed in cases like these.
brute force is all "those types" understand.

Miss Manners would surely agree.

I am an alcoholic who has been sober for nearly 11 years

I quit in 1998 for the first and only time. I never ever have wanted a drink since and can watch most people drink around me and it does not bother me in the least. Actually, pills were the end of me, not so much the booze but I quit everything,

He shows no respect at all. In fact, I get the blame when he gets loud and obnoxious. The landlord complained about him and I said to her and I quoute, “He is a worthless, stinking, disgusting pig of an alcoholic who should be euthanized”

She said, “Tell me how you really feel”

Speaking of the landlord, she is hot and works out in the gym. I try to time my workouts with hers. Never mind her boyfriend. I don’t think she is that happy in that relationship

Do you live in an episode of "Rescue Me"?
I get to be Franco
I think you should def. kick him out, TM.

he’s been a problem for a while for you.

Uhh

1- More power to you for sobering up

2- Yeah, he’s a POS. Boot him. Like, now.

Agreed, on both points
Yeah. The alcohol is no biggie, but being a Yankees and Angels fan?

He has to go.

Yep

Every year it starts out with the Yankees winning everything. Then it goes like "The Yankees don’t have the pitching to then, “The Angels will win it all”

"People, let me tell you 'bout my be-e-e-st friend"...
Kick that Angels-cheering piece of trash out!
Totally

No love for Analheim fans.

Kick that POS out.
If he rooted for the A's, the drunkard routine would be endearing

but slegna/pinstripe? just a filthy hobo.

Cros shows Sweeney how to make a productive out
Thus covering every area in which Crosby could teach Sweeney something
This one too.
Cros shows Sweeney how to make a productive out
I stand corrected
Thanks Booby
I like 5 runs.
And I cannot lie
You other teams can't deny
When the A;s come in with a itty bitty on base
A round ball out in space, we get RUNS
Your team just can't be fun unless you got some RUNZ hun!
when another team walks (one) in

and the gnats get put in their place

Another Add on

Goody

Crosby "RBI Machine"!!!!
...for about an hour or so...

then, again next month for an hour.

Like clockwork!

You know you're really bad if you walk Jack Hannahan.
27,324 in Oakland tonight.

according to KK.q

Does BoCros have the most RBIs in one game at First Base for us?
for this year
Giambi hit a 3 run jack in some game.

I just remember GIambino jacking 3.

Yeah, me too

So either it happened or we both imagined it.

It's happened, but I think Giambi now shares it with Crosby...
SF may have the "49ers"

But, in Oakland??

We have the .196ers

Crosby and Hanny

So we're like way better then
do the math

er, ah,,,,,yes, we ARE better!

at least 150 or so.
I would like the band to play at nineteen hundred

“I make it now, it’s eighteen hundred and thirty hours.”

“So what that, 50 hours from now?”

Is that our average BAC?
who's bringin' down my average???
Yar, beat me to it
Trainman -- he's sober
me too.
I'm happy that you guys are on the straight'n'narrow

still, I feel a patriotic obligation to support one of the last great American industries.

I supported it significantly for a decade.

more than any mortal should.

And I would not dream of impinging upon yours.

Thanks, LB. I'm not overly proud of my consumption

but it is what it is. Maybe a future Mrs. Kallus will straighten out this crazy individual. Who knows.

try to not attach a morality to it.
K. 'crack'...'glug'...
Dude, a tip for you:

Matrimony → sobriety = INCORRECT.

Sobriety → matrimony = CORRECT.

(Kallus writes carefully in personal notebook)
If it is, we're a bunch of lightweights
I forgot to say before this game started

If the A’s don’t win the series Geren must be fired.

I second
And if they win the series or sweep.
He should still be fired.
But what if both teams sweep?

We’d better ask Kuip and Kruke.

If the A's don't win the series, I owe dinner to a giants friend of mine.
I'm going tomorrow with some Giants fan friends of mine.

We need to win or my life will be unbearable.

Just remind them

they haven’t won a WS whilst in San Francisco.

They had one in 2002, until Dusty Baker and the sixth game happened.

You’d be happy to show them pictures of the four WS trophies we’ve won in the ten fewer years we’ve been here.

Bring us a win, Pam!
I will try.

Lincecum v. Mazzaro…

Vin wins this time. Mark my word.
Vin-ce-rooooooò! Vin-ceeeeeeeeeeeee-roooò!
Keep your money.
Let's go Ziggy!
Ziggy is owning them.
Zig is on fire!
Zigs is making them look horrible.
Wow...Ziggy is a flamethrower today!
gettin up there

88

Ri-diculous.
Ziggy found his mojo.
In Kallus's toilet
STFD Pablo.
Wow, 4 K's in a row!!!!

Who is this strike-throwing MACHINE!

haha, this becoming hilarious
Steroids

works for pitchers, too.

Wasn’t…
Roger..
Clemens…
just in town/???

LOVE IT!!!

GOOD SHOWING KIDS!

That was beauteous!
WE WIN!!!!!!
Once again I say, F U Gnats
A'S WIN!!!!!
forgot the WOOOOOT!!!
Muahahahahahahah
Sweet deal, great W
I WANT A SWEEP
Zig!

And fly out for the win!

LETS GO OAKLAND!

That pic will never get old.

It’s just win-derful.

I feel like I'm overusing it.

But then I realize that I much prefer seeing a bunch of green K’s instead of a sea of orange ones!

Part 1 of 3 in the revenge stakes
Athletics beat the Giants, 5-1
It's over already?

Awesome.

Why in the world does O-Cab untuck his jersey 2 seconds after the last out? He crazy.

learned it from ortiz
I've noticed that, too. WTH?
Well, when you don't wear a jock, it can get really itchy.

I’m just guessing.

Command-O-Cab?
The barbell chafes.
The Brewers do that all the time

although OCab was never a Brewer.

Does he hang around Mike Cameron a lot?

Who's covering for the cap'n?
Where is that boy? Slacker.

way to pick up a teammate, Pam
Good bye, Gnats.

WOOT!!!!

And that

Is how it’s done

I really love those guys dressed as McGwire and Canseco with the trophy.

6.5 back, baby!
We are lucky

Derek: “We’re lucky. People should be envying us, you know.”
David: “I envy us.”
Derek: “Yeah, me too.”

ZIGGY MAGIC!!!
he made all the batters look rediculous

LOVED watching it.

he should blog here again.

No Cap'n?

There it is!
Been busy a bit, sire.

Will try to get on more.

no problem.

but always good to have you!

Ziggy was dealing.

Nice to see.

Cahill at 5-5

Athletics turning this shit around!!

BEEEECTORY!
ZOMBIES!

I’m late, but we won!

stole yr. thunder, Cap'n, sry.
Not at all, not at all.
6.5 games back!
Bah, standings.
Dance, peeeps!

C’mon!

Hey, that works great in the background!
tell me about it.

I love it.

Best game of Cahill's career?
I think he had an equally great game against KC.

Where he went 7 1/3rd and won 12 -1.

Or something like that.
If we could make Holliday and Giambi hit...

…we could win some more!

And I could cut down on my swearing.

Nah.

Holliday, make me like you!
See, I always trend toward the negative.

I could say that, but I prefer “Make me not hate you Matt Holliday!”

Make me not hate you...

….he certainly doesn’t try very hard, does he?

Wonder if Cros can remember the last time he was the postgame interview
Nice win!

Cahill looked awesome! Two more!

annnnd...

Only two more games where I have to listen to Jon Miller and all his bullshit!
Unless they split the broadcasts back to how they should be, then I’m freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Geez, what a great night.

A’s win…Angels about to lose…can it get any better?

I'm hoping the Rockies get to double digits
Man, I think you are going to get your wish!

2nd and 3rd for the Rocks and only one out.

Is it raining women wearing only A's jerseys and Newcastles?
Is that an image I want in my head?
that depends, cap'n. Are you a quiet sleeper?
Not generally no.

I have been known to mutter nonsense in my sleep.

zzzz......zombies.....rum......zzzzz.....zombies....shotgun....zzzz....snort.....
you forgot

zzz….that’s right bitches…zzz…kaboom…

well, so long as it's nonsense...

dream away!

Time to paint the images now.
I prescribe a vivid imagination.
I could've gotten laid,

my dad could still be alive, I could live in a place not so hell-like in temperature and general suckiness and I could not work in a pit of hell that is a sign shop.

But all in all, it’s pretty good.

wah wah wah

debbie downer

(sorry deborah51)

apology accepted :)
this coming from someone who just wrote
See, I always trend toward the negative.
I could say that, but I prefer "Make me not hate you Matt Holliday!"
Yeah, I'm full of crap.

Nice to meet you.

you're also delusional with fever.

which is kinda like a free buzz.

Doesn't feel as nice.
Good win tonight everyone.

I plan on being at the game tomorrow and hopefully it goes just as tonight did.

There it is!

10-1 Rockies trouncing the slegnA. Man that’s sweet

Sup, all.

Nice win, I assume?

Not sure you dual teamer

Conflicted I assume?

Not at all, Cap'n.

GO A’S.
