Open Thread: Game 92 - A's vs. Twins (cont)

This has nothing to do with making a new thread when the A's come to bat but if they score here I'll take full credit for it.

2-2 going to the bottom of the sixth.

Way to jinx it
WOW....this games seems to passing by F-A-S-T
and Comcast still works
Kind of the opposite of last night, huh? :-)
Bravo young Skywalker
Again....

I can’t believe I’m in such a good mood while watching an A’s game. Someone needs to tell the asshats wearing the white uni’s not to fuck it up.

JUST SCORE!
I'm trying!
Good luck you!
I'm rounding third!

TMI?

I never rounded third. I was stranded on second.

You need to develop a better eye and take more pitches

But be ready to swing when you do get a good pitch.

You're a brown-eyed handsome man?
I missed the bag
Waylon?
No John Fogerty fans here I see
Put Me In, Coach.
Thank you

Geez, and it was even a baseball song

Couldn't decide if you were referring to

an old Waylon Jennings song from the sixties. To obscure?

John Fogerty's awesome.

CCR’s even awesomer.

Round is good.
FRAK

THAT WAS SO CLOSE

Oof

That actually went further than I thought it would.

Could you replace Kuiper please?
its better than hearing one-sided commentary from bert out here
See, it doesn't matter when you start a new thread!
told you

You jinxed it with your comment

The interesting thing about Cabrera's blast

is that whether he hit it in Oakland or Colorado, it would have landed in Oakland.

I still think he's serviceable and should be re-signed
I dunno.

I’d like to see who’s available.

TWSS
please

stop

TWSS!

Shitty edition.

Scat, shoo, go away.

TWSRS

I thought we went over scat in the other game thread
Shitty conversation if you ask me.
Obviously

I just don’t see anyone in the oganization as being more ready

right, but FA, maybe?
Not sure of the available crop

but last time I saw it. Meh.

It kinda sucks. Tejada is gonna be the best FA shortstop.
I wouldn't be opposed.

I kind of like his energy. He’s plays hard, but he doesn’t walk nearly enough.

I'd rather get Duchscherer healthy and trade him for JJ Hardy
BevMo

doesn’t make me want to drink alcohol

That's the A's job.
But 2 cent wine!
It's been recycled
That was a HELL of a play
Nice play all around
Remind me again why Barton hasn't been in Oakland...
especially when we're in last place
It took that long for

Graybeard’s hex to wear off.

Wow.

These guys better learn you don’t bunt on Dallas.

Heh

I had this insane dream that monkeyball was back. Stupid, right?

It's strange cuz I bet he stops by AN

and we never know when his Monkiness has flung poo at us

O2B,

when monkey flings poo, you’ll know.

It was such an overly random appearance today.
that would be the point, I'd think.
I didn't know

now if Tony would stop by and say “nice win, bitches” than life would seem more complete

yay strickout
HAHAHAH MAUER SUCKS

What is he hitting, like .370?

Yay Dale and Pepe

SCORE SOME FARKING RUNS NOW DAMMIT

+10
You cannot +10!

You’re only +/- 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it was binary.
Its like a pick and roll with those two.

Way to rep the 209 Dallas!

Braden is Stockton, obviously.
and Burt Reynolds is...

Nice job Dallas!

Wow, does he want this win.

LET’S GET IT FOR HIM….MKAY?

Me likey Braden a lotness
Maybe it's because of this thread, but

I only just now noticed the “Morneau” rhymes with “porno”.

porneau

Mornography.
love
leauv?
Catherine Deneuve?
Lesbian vampires?
Are you peeking in my bedroom window?

Perv.

yes

cool.

window’s open.

My interest is peeking.
Your interest is very active tonight.
If by interest you mean...
I'm glad you're keeping up.
Keeping/staying

Whatever.

rawr
There you are.

Hi.

Hi baby
So, about you and that forgetful one.

I’d hate to inflict a whole world of damage on someone who seems to be a pretty decent cat…

Ummmmm,

I don’t think that’s your interest that’s peeking.

sorry.

very mikev like

wow

but funnier, right?

right?

by a mile
THANKS.
He's just trying to get on your good side.
He's already there.
Which side is that, btw?
I was assuming behind.

But I’ll reserve judgment until I can observe in person.

Wow. I am SO not going there.

Pamcakes is one thing. Ass talk is a bit much.

Love your arbitrary limits about appropriateness.
Hey...

It’s one thing to fuck around on AN, but I’m not gonna go gettin all personal and shit.

Hey

Jack mikev- you’re a lousy fucking softball player

I don't know what this means.
A Few Good Men

Sorry

A Few Good Men.
That's a movie, right?
I think it's from the Castro
Was never on her bad side.

I think.

There's a bit of a breeze.
Right now?

Only so I can be close to OAH.

those are cool.

WBC, Cap’n, ADragon and me don’t kill them.

I prefer lesbians that aren’t vampires.

The problem

with lesbian vampires is that occasionally, you’ll get a vampire that’s smitten with you and you can talk them out of sucking your blood all out and killing you. With lesbian vampires, we’re pretty screwed.

And Digorno

That’s good stuff.

No frozen food section pizza is "good"
Wait the pizza or the porno?

Both.

hmmm.

you’re how old? Modesto, you say?

LOL...

Why do I have a mental image of a calendar being removed from the wall?

well, at least one person got it.
I was thinking more along the lines of

the calculator dropping unceremoniously into the trash…..

that works too...

perhaps watch some morneaugraphy while eating pizza?

I think we have the germ of a limerick here.

There once was a player named Morneau
blah blah blah blah porno.
   blah blah blah
   blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah DiGiorno!

I like your rhyme structure.
Its perfect!
he's good.
Did you hear Adam Yauch aka MCA has cancer?
it's horrible, but I guess they say it's a treatable one?
Yup

Very weird that we now get news like this from Yauch himself via online video.

Yep.

Just got the video from Beastieboys.com.

They have to cancel the tour and stop recording

seriously?!
Yeah.

It sucks :(

Its in his glands and lymphnodes near his throat....

…but treatment won’t affect his voice.

They’re expecting operation and radiation to deal with it, I think.

I don't think lymphnodes are good.....

That’s what she said (to me).

I think you may have just reinvented the genre!

good job, young man.

she says alot doesn’t she

Yeah, and she says everything I want to hear.

I almost miss the old Rated-R.
Yeah....

But did she ever donate anything in your name?

I don’t know.

Eh,

You couldn’t go anyway.

Bookmarked in my favorite poems folder.
The standard for baseball limericks

is the Lilly-for-Kielty one.

There once was a player named Morneau
His name sounds a lot like porno
He plays for the Twins
Who gave up a win
And the winners cooked some DiGiorno

i love you.

That’s what she said (to me).

I think the last line should be

“It’s not delivery, it’s DiGiorno”

Oh yes!

We’re getting closer now.

What, no one TWSS'ed this one?

It was a total softball.

You wouldn't have approved anyway!!!!

Sheesh.

I was hoping for something more dirty.
Let's work in something about

the pizza delivery boy.

that’s a good porn cliche

Hey lady....

Did you order a peperoni pizza?

Well, here’s the pizza…..and here’s the pepperoni.

It’s an oldie but a goodie.

don’t say lady, nothing sexy starts that way

It's from an old comedy album....
Barry White begs to differ.

Oh, yes!

Is it too much to ask for a pun about his “livery”? And can we rhyme is with “quivery”?

Yes.

It is too much.

it's been done.

you know that, though.

How many pitches for Braden?

He acts like he wants to win or something. Maybe he better smash Crosby’s knee’s with a bat or something. Tell the rest of those asswipes on the bench they’re freaking next if someone doesn’t get him a couple runs pronto.

He should throw something and scream

“You fuckers better score some runs or I’m gonna shove those bats up your A’s”

Ooh look, HOlliday slammed the bat on the ground in anger!

WHERE ARE ALL YOU “HOLLIDAY SHOWS NO EMOTION” PEOPLE NOW? HUH? SHOW YOURSELF!

Holliday SMASH!
But what has he done for us LATELY?
*Waves hand proudly*
HE'S A MEANIE FOR DENTING THE DIRT!!
No

“Hello Mister Ground , meet Mister Bat!”

STOP TAKING STRIKE THREE!
Things are back to normal
Eh, that was a pretty perfect curveball.
He can only get fooled once a game :-)

That was twice.

We won't get fooled again.
Why are you yelling?

The baby’s asleep in the next room.

Sorry, sorry

(whispers) Nice hit, Zooks.

That's no baby.
It's what I call her.
mi hermano's asleep in the next room.
Barton is going to receive a meatball
and hit it straight up the elevator shaft
uh yeah

What was that you’re saying?

Wuertz alert
Not springer enough
shhhhhhhhh
just AS long as it's not

he who shall not be named…..

Hrm

I didn’t know Voldemort played baseball.

Haha....beat me to it!
Wavelengths.

Wavelengths.

He probably swung at the low and outside slider.
the only unnamable I know

had a cheesy-effing porn stache, a limp and I want to beat him to a pulp.

and put thru the shredder in front of my friends ohhhhhhh baaaaabe
Has the Steeler's QB been mentioned tonight?

I’ve been in and out, so sorry if he has been.

Not if you're watching ESPN
What do you think about that?
About what? Was their Roethlisberger news I missed?
Pending lawsuit...?

This is for those that missed it.

A woman has filed a lawsuit accusing Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger of raping her last summer in his penthouse hotel room at a casino in Lake Tahoe during a celebrity golf tournament.

Roethlisberger’s lawyer adamantly denied the allegations Tuesday, and was quick to point out that the woman never went to the authorities.

“Ben has never sexually assaulted anyone. The timing of the lawsuit and the absence of a criminal complaint and a criminal investigation are the most compelling evidence of the absence of any criminal conduct,” David Cornwell said in a statement. “If an investigation is commenced, Ben will cooperate fully and Ben will be fully exonerated.”
What is it about Tahoe?

Antoine Walker gets arrested there last week and now this comes out?

What happens in Tahoe definitely does not stay in Tahoe
What makes it even better is he was arrested for something he did IN Vegas
Is "What Happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas" a valid plea in common law?
I'd love to see him try that
It's the Vegas defense
The biggest little mistake you'll ever make
He should call Kobe and ask to borrow his lawyer.
You've been in and out and now your baby's sleeping?
Oh my.

But yes.

That radio ad for the A's-Yankees game

made it sound really really boring. Totally lame announcer. Made me long for Buan.

wow. that's a statement.
I see the Angels swept the Royals

in a double bill in KC and that the Royals started Sidney Ponson and Bruce Chen. That should be illegal.

RUNZ NAO PLEEZ
Dear A's,

Can we please hurry it up so I can go see Casablanca?

Might need to explain further.
thats pretty much it. Win or lose, dont matter anymore. Still mad at them for kicking butt on the night I had to work
/spoilers

THERE’S THAT ONE SCENE WHERE SOMETHING IMPORTANT HAPPENS.

Look out - Mrs doctorK is snooping around the game threads tonight

Everybody behave.

too late, I fear
{gets dressed}
DoctorK is a pimp
Pimpity pimp
I'm sorry
hahaha...cannot stop laughing.

Can we get Lauren Graham going already? I am about to explode.

Don't do it here.
What happened to the innocent Rated-R Superstar of three days ago???

I miss him.

He's Rated-R Superstar now.

PG-13 Superstar is gone, I think

he hit puberty, all downhill from there

on sunday?

I don’t go to church.

Neither do I.

Gets too warm when I start walking up the steps out front. Weird.

you're a 17 year-old male.

it’s your default setting.

go ahead, and if you’re really good i’ll tell you the story about those photos i took in college…

Oh, cool.

TWSS
No, thats not what she said.

SHE’S THE TRAP!

listen to squidman, rated-R,

he’s a wise, wise….um…squid.

I like you tonight.

Well, I like you every night. But I like you a lot tonight.

that's good
HELLO THERE.

She’s mine!

Do you not read.
Gentlemen

Let us share equally.

Fine.

eff it RRS

Fight him to the death for her!

I’m saving “fighting to the death” for another girl.

I already fought him for one girl on this site

He dont put up much of a fight

Who are you?

Are you that guy I beat in a fight for Megan Fox?

Maybe she wasn't much of a girl?
You bite your tongue sir.

Nobody talks about my ZF like that.

I thought you lost?
He did, dont let him tell you otherwise
Like you would remember.
in that fight there are no winners
Except for the guy who ISN'T knocked the fuck out.
Or the guy

who ends up going home with the girl. You know him…..he’s just a “friend”.

While the two of you are in the E/R, he’s home mowing your lawn.

Nah, I don't work that way.
depends on the girl.
I mean the ER part.
yesyesyes

you’re tougher than anyone. Got it.

Thank you!

rawr

No shit. WTF was that?
This is a good point.

Yes, I know you can see me!

:-D
Back off.
Grrrr!!! You want some of this? You want some of this?

Im not afraid…lets go, put your dukes up!

Trust me.

You really don’t want to.

As I said before.

This is a road you do not wish to go down.

See mikev!

I wasn’t the instigator!

Not this time :X
I'm glad

That the two 17 y.o’s on this board can reach a solution with no problems. Hrmph

That's okay

mikev will just see her at night.

that was quite good.
Indeed.

I chuckled.

Not gonna touch that one
Are we batting? I've lost track.
Tonight? Not yet.
Dammit

Just got a new stainless steel refrigerator cuz my ice-maker didn’t work on the old one. Now it’s spitting out nothing.

Let’s get a win while I drink my lukewarm water.

your fridge and my A/C should get together and go bowling.
Stupid worthless no good goddamn free-loadin' son-of-a-bitch

retarded, big mouth know-it-all asshole jerk.

so you know my landlady, then?
just trying to join your breakfast club
Won't you, come see about me,

I’ll be around, dancing, you know it baby.

When you walk on by

Don’t you, forget about me.

oh, you're part of it.

no worries.

Is your refridgerator running?
Do you have Prince Albert in a can?
Oh my.

Did you hear about the horse who went to the psychiatrist?

I guess Bailey's Knee is OK after the injection he got
Lets not open that can of worms
Whoops!

that's a huge can of worms
You can imagine how sorry I am that I opened it!
I thought we weren't gonna open it!?
I CAN HAZ WALKOFF PLZ?
If the score is tied, rally pictures are allowed in the 9th inning.

I want Rally Tuesdays. Someone promised me another Tuesday hotter than Tuesday Weld.

Rated-R, where are the rally photos?

I didn’t know I was on duty tonight.

we’re waiting for your girls

can I request some

Emma Watson?

She was sooo cute in the first movie.

Then she hit puberty. :-(

she's gotten kinda babe-like again, you know...

plus she’s going to Brown…

<sings>

What’s the color of horseshit? Brown, Brown, Brown!

Is she planning to major in pretentious twittery?

I would imagine so.

She’s going to an Ivy League school. I think that’s the major, regardless, right?

Depends on the school.

Similar, but variations on the theme.

Columbia —> nerdy academic blogger
Harvard —> have lots of money without having to work
Princeton —> secretly rule the world from behind the scenes

It's not like you have anywhere else to be right now
I want the rally photos. Now.

Iglew needs to post Lauren Graham photos.

Are you kidding me?

I pitched four innings last night. I’m no Andrew Bailey.

Let's score so we don't have to face Joe Nathan
Here we go

that pic isn't very flattering
But if you replace the R with an N, then it is.
Hey Doc, what kind of doc are you?

maybe you can help her out with some rejuvenation therapy

You lazy people

Hairston ready for the walkoff
she's magic.
Uh oh!

Yes, she is.

Stupid long work day

At least the game is still tied though. And Rally Lauren is here to rub my shoulders.

Lets do it!

Get that outta here.
Barry Zito doesn't play for the A's anymore.
Is that Alyssa?

I actually like her, but I thought she was banned out of respect for GnGG.

Not a good picture, though.

yes, that is Alyssa.
I embraced the vampire

movie

Catherine DeNeuve?
No it's a wonderful Alyssa Milano "art film" of sorts
I may not know movies,

but I’m familiar with basic celebrity nudity. So, yeah, I’ve heard of that one.

So you've seen the good parts
If the A's lose,

I will blame this.

Lets not go crazy now
Photoshopped.
So who stole her cheezburger?

Bikini Burger Girl?

I would love to spend a rainy day together with her
Holliday walkoff coming right up
Can we have a 2 run Bomb please
I'd be OK wih a 1 run single.
could he be the hero two days in a row??
I wonder if Hawk still thinks Crede is a gold-glover?
Of course not

He’s not on the WS anymore.

He's a former "good guy"
he gone
Jinx much?
No jinx here

that was a Hawk “he gone” about Crede

that was a man swing right there
C'mon Custy

that one is much better

:-)

I love them both
Agreed.

I want to brush her hair.

I may have to turn into a stalker.
mmmm east coast girl look

That’s a great jacket.

HolliFAIL
Does someone have a current trade-value graph?
I'll do it with my keyboard

When was the last time Holliday and Cust ever did anything for us?

We mustn’t give up on Lauren Graham.

Extra, Extra!
So tell me....

Jack didn’t strick out at all last night?

None of them did

At least, not during the game.

Geez

how long does it take to make ice, Mr. Whirlpool?#!

Alyssa Milano brought the Zito curse

She can curse me anytime
