I LOVE the recruiting stuff.

…about the only way ND will be a winner any time soon….sigh…

Yeah, well...

I’m coaching the University of Idaho. Still, savvy play-calling and a controversial decision to bench starter Nate Enderle in favor of speedster Quinn Ashley resulted in a bowl game win over Texas Christian.

I did not know....

….that Vida Blue had his first career start on the day of the moon landing.

The moon landing was actually just another one of Finley's wack-ass promotional events.

He forgot to have the mule brought along.

BleedGreen - July 20, 2009 reply

They had dehydrated, powdered mule in tin-foil packets.

Neil Armstrong Just Landed On The Moon...Again!!!

He reports similar conditions to the Coliseum: No atmosphere

there's no Saag's on the moon.

No Dibbs either.

And no HDTV

Has nobody read "The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress?'

WTH!

Is that Heinlein?

Yep.

so Neil, how do the attendance figures compare??

Jason Giambi reckons he can hit a homer in 1/3 gravitational pull

No it's too cold in space

I hear that Holliday's OPS....

….is 200 points better in the lunar atmosphere.

ahh, so Holliday's Coors Park numbers can be explained by astrophysics

It makes sense, now.

amazing!

This Game Reminds Me of Erectile Dysfunction

Never happened to me before?

bobnothing - July 20, 2009 reply

maybe they can spray cialis over the coliseum during the 7th inning stretch

At the very least, they should play that awesome funky theme song. I groove to that.

pep talk before the game?

That is wrong in so many ways, lol

I find this picture very, very funny

oh my

Hahahahahahahah

Im sorry man

I will never drink JD again and let you down. Just work this once.

It happens to all the teams, at one time or another.

Has anyone done a study on jaw size correlating to grit?

Bill Cowher and Dan Henderson concur.

Dan Henderson is a bad, bad man

shut your mouth!

But I'm just talkin' about Dan

rawr.

That would mean Jay Leno is the biggest badass alive

Jaw, not chin.

any medical students here tonight?

I was just diagnosed with the stuff that causes stomach ulcers, and I thought it was this season…..evidently not.

You can do better than get your medical advice here

no advice, got it, it was a quiz.

although it seems to have worked okay for Trainman....

i seem to recall that and or something where I mused about

the issue of gaining medical advice from a baseball blog.

IIRC, I gave you a QOTM on that.

That was the funniest thing I’ve read in a long, long time.

did you have the bad shoulder?

no, Trainman.

Tip to radio listeners.

Don’t learn history from Vince Cotroneo.

(1) Christopher Columbus never saw Colombia.
(2) Cabrera is from CartaGeNa, not CartaNeGa.

vince wrong-all-eo.

You know what would make an interesting book

Hmmmmm......

You still hate him,

don’t you?

Oh, yeah.

How 'bout if he gets more RBIs in the game than Justin Morneau,

and we win the game?

I think the tide would start to turn.

I was joking earlier but you know what this thing ain't over

I hate you Matt

I really hate you.

This is what I thought we were trading for

Rally Hypnotoad!

Oh, God, I’m so happy to see this. If only I could hear the sound of Hypnotoad.

Hypnotube

ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD

HEY!

Swisher-lover!

There’s this little box you can check that opens it in a new window so I don’t get sucked away from the game thread.

Same thing happened to me

I usually check that box to 'open in new window'

I must have been hypnotoadized

it's forgivable.

the hypnotoad makes us all do strange things.

This shit goes for 9 whole minu--

ALL GLORY TO HYPNOTOAD.

The

sound of the hypnotoad is…well, hypnotizing…

It's important to make sure that every inning of our pitching suck counts!

oh lord

The A’s are going to get within a run or 2 before it’s over
aren’t they

Yep. They'll go down with the tying run at third and no outs.

Rated-R, where are your naughty rally pics?

This game is fun.

It's gettin' there.

If Cabrera’s line drive just hadn’t been at Morneau, this could have been a legitimately big inning.

Its the black jersey

making him feel like a Rockie again!!

BleedGreen - July 20, 2009 reply

Rockies are in 2nd Place!

Just a hunch, but Matt Holiday would look good in a Rockies uniform.

And now we'll creep....

Yeah, just keep it on the down-low

’Cuz nobody is supposed to know.

so does the fact that my aunt's birthday was Saturday excite you?

If I told you I inherited the uneaten half of her ice cream cake and it was sitting in my freezer, would it change your mind?

I am excited

but I have no life

{jumps on Leo}

Wow, now that's excited.

Any excuse, really.

before or after cake?

duh, during.

WSS

SHOCKING.

i read the inherited.... part

and thought…your big chance to break free and get that condo in the hills overlooking the bay.

oh jesus.

I used to think Ft. Bragg, but I think it would be just what you’re saying. And season tickets, of course.

No, these were to-die-for.

damn!

so what would YOU do for a klondike bar?

you mean "who"

Holliday Rulz!!!

He’s 2 for 3 with TWO doubles AND a 2-Run HR! He looks happy tonight. Great trade, finally paying off!

Does not compute

don't tell him

that holliday hit three times.

Orodawg - July 20, 2009 reply

QOTM

Didn't the A's score 5 runs the last inning they faced the Twins?

That would make 12 runs the last 5 innings.

OOPS!! He's THREE for THREE tonight! Go Matt!

24 hits and 24 outs...

…good thing the Coli is a pitcher’s park, or we might REALLY see some offense…

Im 1 for 2

I forgot about one Newcastle I opened and it got hot on me

i thought you were a keystone person?

Usually

But I got that huge promotion from fries to Cashier. Im going all out this week

Alright

This dude needs to get on for Morneau to have a chance at the two-run shot.

Sounds like a scoring frenzy

this rocks, btw.

I’m enjoying it.

I’m not sure what it is. But I’m enjoying it.

Circle Me Bert!

I'm late to the party, but...

The Island of Dr. Morneau has 7 RBI’s already???

he had 7 in the 3rd inning!

BY the 3rd inning, I should say

In a race with Holliday.

Yes...

He hit a 3-run blast AND a grand salami. That gives him a league-leading 78 for the season. Not too shabby.

Aww

Double. Gonna be extra hard for him to get the home run cycle now.

AT least Morneau didn't hin one out that time

Only a double?

This guy sucks.

only a double that time...

…gasoline Casilla kept him in the park. Santiago rocks! (lol)

DRINK!

HD : DRINK!

they said hi-def?

Fosse did

i think i tune him out on purpose

Why does it feel like Gio pitched last night already?

Finally streamed into the space drip

feeding it to the Bose speakers now with game on mute. I can dig it.

The drip is the best part.

Will it be Springer???

Is 40 hits a possibility?

well, I tried to quit that shit, but I can see 40 hits if the game gets much worse...

Agreed.

and adopted 49ers full time with no raider background noise and Seahawks part time.

And you still remembered Neamiah.

Yeah, I feel better.

I imagine that adoption took place after the exodus to LA?

huffing stories usually end very badly.

You see the one about the alcoholic dad who discovered he had cancer after accepting treatment?

Yee-ikes.

I take it this is a tv show of sorts?

they film anything these days, you know.

this game, for example

stormtown - July 20, 2009 reply

Yeah, Intervention

It’s supposed to be helping people struggling with addiction by showing them that they can get help, but really it’s just an excuse to film people cry and desperately beg their shell of a parent/sibling/spouse to clean up.

Like Alaska, it's a microcosm of America!

it's what it says it is.

we did one of these on my dad once, in the late 70s. There wasn’t a film crew there, though.

Yeah, no, I get it

I’m just saying that the network likes to pretend they’re doing this magnanimous thing when really it’s just exploiting people.

yeah, definitely.

it didn’t end well for pops, either.

Pitfall Harry rocks. I remember how awesome it felt to beat Pitfall II on the Atari 2600.

I also remember the day my parents bought me the game. Before we went home we ate lunch at some restaurant. All I did was read the manual. I couldn’t wait to get home.

agrd.

Pitfall was the mad note ,yo!

That one was before my time

I get the feeling the way you feel about Pitfall is the way I feel about Tecmo Super Bowl.

I felt pretty good about Techmo Bowl too, bro.

Ok, now I want to find my Atari at my parents' house.

Not that I couldn’t just install an emulator and download a huge 2600 cart pack.

My voice mail notification on my phone is the "Press Start" noise

I was awesome at Pitfall!

See, now, I was all set to watch the moon landing at 9:30, but now the A's are within six... so... they have 19 minutes to let it slip away, or go ahead.

When was the last time our offense was this good?

2002

7/17, 7/12, 7/11

You can never have too much good stuff.

nice, but there is two outs.... i am relaxed though....as of a month ago.

AK Smash!

or not...

Ah well

Remarkably, the A's have twice left 2nd/3rd with two out

so with just a couple well-timed singles it could be 13-11.

so if everything broke just right for us offensively,

we’d only be two runs down.

We’re not very good.

You may be right

I may be crazy

But it just may be a lunatic you're looking for.

but it just may be a lunatic your looking for

no, sirbed did.

the correct lyric is "might", not "may", right?

If so, LB wins.

But it just may be a lunatic you're looking for

is the lyric

my bad...

No, it's "may"

Or at least that’s how it is in the printed score.

Yeah.

That would've been a great spot for a hit...

Win or lose this particular game...

… we’re still 100% losers.

Great minds, Joey C.!

Indeed, good sir

Whatever happens tonight....

….this team is 100% Losers.

Anderson and Suzuki and their 20 consecutive outs last night...

…are not losers. The rest of them suck eggs, but those two guys are keepers.

Indeed

And I’d provisionally include Kennedy and Bailey in the “not losers” category, too.

Eveland and Gio cancel some of these guys out, though.

Yeah, I was more being cheeky

I rather like just about everyone on the roster, with only a few exceptions.

I like the roster in Midland...

…a lot more than this garbage we are being subjected to at the big league level (in terms of position players, anyway).

And Barton is stating his case pretty well tonight.

if fosse says hi-def one more time

i’m going to be drunk, it only takes a few shots

That’s what she said.

that IS what she said

Orodawg - July 20, 2009 reply

Affirmative.

You'll be drunk?

I spend my nights,

just moo-oooo-oon-ing all over you.

That’s what she said.

That one's in the movie, right?

I know all the songs from the musical, but forget which ones were used in the movie.

Which movie?

Grease.

I don’t know. It may be in the “Hopelessly Devoted to You” song, but I don’t know.

No, definitely not in Hopelessly Devoted

that one isn’t from the original. If you were older, ’50s music and ’70s music would not sound the same to you.

I fail.

The one with Elvis Pelvis let me be...

Not that I’ve ever seen it or anything.

No, "Mooning" is a separate song all by itself.

Duet for Roger and Jan.

The Elvis line was a change for the movie, by the way. The original line is about Sal Mineo, but Mineo had just died before the movie was released so they were afraid that would be poor taste.

Okay, you officially are starting to scare me now.

In 1986, my girlfriend was

music director at Benicia High School. They did a production of Grease. I helped out a little, with the auditions and some of the early coaching.

It was a little weird, since I was closer in age to the kids than to her.

Anyway, I learned the whole score then.

hmmm,

okay, that’s plausible. You don’t have like a basement full-on four-wall collage of ONJ pictures, then, right?

No, of course not.

I don’t like the movie version, remember?

They had to make up that silly story about her being an exchange student to explain the accent.

who is she?

Okay, that Fosse footage was badass

I kind of really like Ray Fosse and now I kinda don’t like Pete Rose anymore.

I kinda never liked Pete Rose

…in part because of his Charlie Hustling all over Fosse.

I would not really care at all

Except it was the freaking All-Star Game. I mean, who does that at the All-Star Game, really?

Exactly

In a real game, that’s just hard play.

In the All Star Game, it’s a symptom of an underlying problem.

I like the way you phrased that

I might steal it for casual conversation and then use it without admitting I stole it, and they’ll be all like, “check out this slick-talking moth****cker right here.”

+1

but still, banned from baseball still? i don’t agree with that. I hate the guy, but…

Sad part is that if Holliday went deep there, he'd have 12 TB, 4 R, and 5 RBI...
