Good

that thread was lacking in mojo.

it was fine until the Rally Salma was posted.....
True

It was brought out at the wrong time.

good point....

boobs are bad mojo…for game threads anyhow.

I wonder if the wide strike zone threw off Outman's game

..just speculatin’

wouldn't that actually help his cause
Make the call

Josh Outman’s agent needs to call up MLB and get that changed to an error on Orlando Cabrera.

Outman walks not allowed in this thread.
Maybe this one will work better....

and already we have a baserunner!
How many of these do you have?

And how are you going to fit into your clothes tomorrow?

If the A's win, does it really matter?
I just heard...

“If the A’s win, I’m going to work nude tomorrow!”

It's Berkeley, they're pretty open about things like clothing....
Lets Go A's!

Win one for nudity, please.

the sign monkeys would surely not be pleased.
she's made several.

but gives 99% of them away…

Here's yours....

YAY!

and she rocks. did I mention that?

A walk is a good start
to a healthy heart?
so I hear

never tried it

good way to start the inning

 im feeling good this inning

What are the odds Oakland scores 4 runs this game?
If he keeps throwing balls

Very good

You're Gonna Love His Balls!
I'm gonna slap my troubles away.
Highly probable!
How about 16 more consecutive balls for starters
I'm with ya while we're batting
what were the odds the A's would win 6 straight

fuck the odds

Vegas is going to love you.
The odds folks don't follow game threads.

They don’t watch games. They just read the box score and adjust their spreadsheets afterward.

woot!

two on!

eight straight balls!

Wednesday is dollar dog night.
going
thinking about going

still undecided…

let me know

you’re always a treat to hang around

I'll decide on Wednesday at work....

might email you during the day if I decide to go.

you should go.

I’ve only regretted not going, never going.

Let's catch a flight
that would be sick

in a this decade sick kind of way

I catch a flight, I'm going for Saag's, m'man!
Me too. No doubtzky aboutzky
I dream about the Saag's hot links with the grilled onions and the peppers.
Back to back W's

good start

KK says, "Just have to avoid DP here"

No shit

If Zooks hits a bomb, will G be able to score from 2B?
Or 1B, since that's where he is

FAIL

Damn!!!
I agree

see below

woof.

I don’t like Brendan Harris.

Jerk.

Me neither

Whatta dick.

Yeah

What kind of jerk does that.

After I ripped him early, Harris made a great play

What a jerk.

made you look stupid to boot!

Selfish prick.

What happened, my gameday took a poo.
me too

Suzuki grounded sharply into a forceout at third

Hey guys, I left for a second, which I shouldn't do anymore.

What the hell happened.

You are never allowed to leave again
Gets out the fetters
it's a pro-S&M crowd here at AN.
Kicks out the jams
YEAH, Boy!

Detroit forever!

I know, I know!

:(

Outman forgot his name.

thought it was walkman.

Did Holliday "slow up" on that one?
That was an excellent play

Third base was his only chance for an out.

Not scoring here will be a disaster
WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!!
Zombies?
We're all gonna undie!
WHERE?!

{clears chamber, readies molotovs, alerts WBC and Cap’n}

If we dont score this inning imma be pissed.
Look who is coming up next
I believe Gameday has gone on vacation

Can someone give a PxP?

Bases loaded after AC takes one off the helmet
OUCH!

CUnningham hit in the head

hit him in the helmet
ouch

Cunningham takes a pitch off the head

Not exactly what we needed.
Aaron deservedly taking a knee

Ouch!

Ouch holy shit.

Cunningham plunked on the head.

Cunningham hit in head

no joke!

Head shots are not a good thing to see.
let's win for Cunningham.

God rest his soul.

don't rest his soul yet!

he’s got to run the bases now

right above left ear

knocked helemt off

Thank God for helmets.
thats 2 pitches in a row in his grill
I had to back up off of it and set my bat down

Hit on the earhole—I’m fucked up now.

He seems ok.
Can we get a second opinion...

…from the Twins training staff, who probably have a better track record than ours?

He should come out of the game
Agreed.

You don’t take your chances.

totally agreed

send him for xrays/ct/mri, just to be sure. head injuries aren’t something to be f’d with.

walking to 1st
That's unsettling

I know he’s got a helmet, and should be okay. But it’s still creepy when the ball bangs right off the helmet like that.

He said the ball ended up in the 1st base coaches box

yeaouch

prepare yourself, Mauer
That sounded like a car wreck
The baseball etiquette of not apologising is fucking retarded.
c'mon HANNAHAN!
Ouch

Be okay!

Thank god he has a hard head
Just don't GIDP, Miley!
Bad memories bad memories

Only game I’ve been to this year was that Haren one.

Jack is gonna jack one!
Not quite.

But it will do Jacky boy.

Ill take it.
Staplehead is the emergency outfielder
HANNAHAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
NICE HIT HANNAHAN!!!!!!!
wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
In play run(s) for Miley!
TIE GAME

FREAKIN MILEY!!

headshot mojo!!
Yes!!!!

Way to go Jack

Cunningham scores anyway!

Good job, Hannahan!!!!

HANNAHAN!!!!!!!!!!~!!!!!!!!!!
I dont effing believe it
Hannahan says "I spit on you AN'ers who thrash me"
HANNAHAN!!
OMG

OMG AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bases-clearing double

My favorite non-HR hit.

oh Mannahan!
Hit the ball he cannahan!
The A's have no backup outfielders?

Why did we call up Barton?

Also, Hanny!

Cust can move from DH to RF

Barton 1B, Giambi DH

If you move hi into the field, u lose DH
No.

If Cust goes to the field then our pitcher has to hit.

AK can play RF
the baseball gods have spoken

No beaning!

Surprised Cunningham could find home plate
nah, you just run towards the one in the middle
Bonus: Richie gets to enjoy his concussion from the bench.
Now he's even more like Byrnes!
FUCK YEAH!!!!
Cunningham is made of steel, apparently.
The name is Tintin.
Beane needs to find out about hiring Getafix as head trainer

Do you think they can test for magic potion?

Different author I think, but yeah it's worth a shot.
Alright Hannahan!
HOLY!

i was just about to comment about how i would be happier with anyone else batting

don't doubt the HANNAHAN!
I can't believe Hannahan hit a deep double

I’m still shocked.

It's also nice to see somebody clear the bases with A's on them for a change
nah.

HANNAHAN comes through with regularity for a .200 hitter.

my words ring true

last thread to nico:

" look at it this way: if tolbert can do it, so can hannahan"

I need to stop going xbhaskarx-style all lowercase here
Matt Tolbert and Josh Fields

Because it CAN get worse.

I saw your WAR post

Do you really buy into the defensive metrics enough to prefer Hannahan to Fields? Instinct tells me I’d rather have Fields, but what does that really mean, anyway

You know what I'd really like? A GWAR post.
heh

Yeah, that would be entertaining

Guys. Have faith in our training staff.

They know what they’re doing.

I take back everything I've said about hannahan

If I’ve ever said anything about hannahan.

Harris is a hole
hannahan just got 10 cool points!!
Hannahan hit 27 doubles last year

…it’s just the .218 average…

I say we feed Harris to the zombies
or course his glove
Unless we can trade for him.

Or clone him. Whatever

that would be an acceptable use of zombies, though as a

card-carrying member (and co-founder) of the anti-zombie braineaters association, I don’t endorse using them at all, except for target practice.

Gio so far...

4IP 1H 0R 3BB 7Ks

You sure that's not Matt Young?
Pretty sure yes. :)
O-Cab will give us the lead now.
Nobody has mentioned how it was of Gomez to completely

misplay that double by Hannahan.

how cool? how helpful? how gracious? how green was my valley?
how green was your valley?

And, seriously, how green can a valley get?!

Generous. Sorry, doing several things at once.
in all fairness, he was probaly shocked as hell that jack hit the gap on the fly
Oh wait. Were you talking about Jack himself?
i was cutting gomez slack for his misplay
Aw Go-Go

Maybe it’s for the best that he’s not a Met anymore…

That's a sweet nickname.
More runs, please.

Don’t let the Twins break another streak.

I agree

Make them pay for there mistakes

Barton in the dugout sighting
Let's see if he can play RF
Smiliing adoringly at Sweeney

and vice versa

they're apparently taking a bath together after the game.

Someone stop that Harris. Please.

Harris...Haaaarris.........

Wow

Hannahan pulled a Crosby.

In public?
I think that's illegal.

Even in Oakland.

TWSS

beat you to it mike

Well done sir.
She's offering legal advice now?

A reminder for those who missed it, “TWSS” means “that’s what she said”, not “hey, that post sounds dirty”.

he's a between-innings

obstetrician?

Okay, I gotta go to my softball game

Y’all keep an eye on everything, ya hear? I’ll be back for the post-game….

Hit a couple doubles for us
Drag bunts are the way to go.

Gritty.

but it takes so much time with the makeup and the wig...
have fun, gigs!

see you later.

Bring more cupcakes

or booz

if only Cabrera and Kennedy could get hot at the same time
there's a dirty joke in there somewhere
I like this working the count by Cabrera
Coo Coo

Cabrera walks after starting 0-2. Gotta like that.

ah man

are they putting Barton in the outfield?

Ohh.. Barton gonna play RF?
Would guess so
throws chair...
catches chair with one hand.
you.

RF. Now.

Where my plane ticket sir?
check under your seat.
there's snakes on this mf'n plane?
you 10:45

and bring a friend

wow.

I like you.

Worse english accent ever

my fav line

Fuck me he made it

Frank Francisco Strikes Back!
And you know

every ball is going to be hit to him.

Of course

Why expect anything different?

Oh good, Cunningham gave his OF glove to Barton.

Don’t send Cunningham back out there…

Welcome back to the A's, Daric.

Now go stand in right field.

GYMNASTICS!
Whatever, johnny come lately.
Better than not at all.
true.

well, come on in, then.

you bring bbq?

Sadly no

but I did just enjoy a bit of leftover hamburger helper.

Mini buffalo chicken sandwiches!
Gardenhire has bad hammy

Has he been running bases LOL

AK 47!!!!!

come on

Got to love the A's - Cunningham hands his outfielder's glove to

Barton ‘cos he doesn’t have one. Such professionals.

He probably stole it from Crosby
now

only if barton can be professional too and play that outfield good

He's a C/1B/shocking 3B so I doubt it. He's no Brandon Inge....
Swarzak

He gone.

Can't believe the moral police don't get the stoner ordering the tacos baNnED
could they have a drunk person going through a drive-thru?
I don't think so.

I was thinking the same thing.

They show that commercial here. Which is strange because there’s not a Jack within 700 miles, but…

Yeah, that commercial pretty much makes my dad cry

He loved Jack in the Box, but we don’t have them anywhere near here anymore

How do people in FLA change tires, by stacking wood blocks under their cars?
dude,

I have no clue how they do anything in Florida.

I do know I sold a pair of magnet to two of the hill people rapists from Deliverance this morning.

You got a pretty mouth
I think if my rocker funky sign monkey wouldn't have been there,

 I may have been having unsolicited and unwanted gay sex.

squeal like a pig, boy
as opposed to solicited and wanted
of course.

they were creepy rednecks, mike. c’mon.

Some day, an ANer is going to be sent to FLA to find you

and you’ll be bald, surrounded by monkeys sacrificing water buffalo, and mumbling about “The horror! The horror!”

QOTM, gratuitous self-referential edition.
but you have a lot of BK's

So, uh, I left for a moment, came back, Twins were up 3-0, left again, saw that the A’s tied the game. Should I stay here or leave again?

Both
seriously, can you do both?
You can always try...

But something has to be wrong with you.

At least we got the 3
So much for that rally

Crap.

3 runs is still a rally

Good crooked number.

Yeah for the A's it definitely is

And, it’s better than being down 3-0 too.

he ran out of bullets

press R for reload AK

Watch the first batter to find Barton with a fly ball
As long as they don't miss him with a fly ball
Isn't Barton really bad with fly balls to 1st?

…am I thinking of someone else? Of all the people to play RF…

He had one hit him in the face last year.
I've had a lot of balls hit me in the face.
I think I love you.
We don't want to hear about your time in prison
ok, outman...let's have a shutdown here
Kennedy at RF
I almost thought the Barton to 3B experiment had begun.
AK is in right
Kennedy in RF
we're winning this shit tonight, fellers.
I have a good feeling about this, too

And ANers know that I’m not always a ray of optimistic sunshine

agrd.

This shit’s ours.

We ain’t backing down from this. They are.

Dang, no Staplehead
excuse me

I believe you have my stapler

....I'll burn the place to the ground....
Who's on second?
Petit
We need three Petit's to cover 2nd?

That’s bad

What should I do with this cat?
get that cat out of here!
What's on second.

Who’s on first.

GNGS FTW!
no, who's on first

what’s on second

lets go oakland lets go!!!!!

shut them down OUTMAN

I was totally expecting someone to say

I dunno.

Win this for cunningham
WIN THIS FOR TINTIN!

It should be our battle cry.

Pitt/ATL goes to the 15th.
Mauer looked bad there
Thank god there both lefty's
Morneau is Outman's bitch

LHP FTW!

yay strickout
Yet another new thread

Right here.

Outside corner, ring 'em up, strike three called!

I love that phrase from Ken Korach.

Struck out that

BIOTCH!!!

Too many threads
JACK SPARTA CUST
LOVE MY CUST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
True Outcome!

4-3 Athletics

See what happens when you swing early

Good Custy

SPARTACUST!!!
It's Gone!!!!

Cust is the shit

No to complain too much

I know, fly outs fairly deep before…too bad it was a solo shot.

He was leading off the inning?

What more can he do

Spartacust = Chuck Norris
what a stupid day for the A's stream to follow the atlanta/pittsburgh stream

6-6 in the 15th of that game. i’ve missed so much while seeing so little.

Bloop for Zook

1B

Petit K'd inning over

4-3 us

Dude, everyone else is on the new thread.
