I want to see some fresh faces on this team. By the way, if we get Wallace, do you guys think he will get an immediate call up? Or will Beane be more cautious and instead keep in AAA the rest of the year?
but now he’s talking about going away for the weekend with the guys to go fishing or camping or some outdoor thing, plus he travels all the time for work so it’s gets annoying, this has been going on for 3 months now…
Oh hai
Daniel777 - July 23, 2009
No new tab this time!
Kevin2 - July 23, 2009
C'mon A's, show some life
doctorK - July 23, 2009
Hmm opened up in the same window again for me.
What’s going on?
pam5981 - July 23, 2009
(i usually command-click to open in a new tab but just testing)
pam5981 - July 23, 2009
Last one opened in a new tab for me; this one didn't.
Go figure.
GreenNGoldSooner - July 23, 2009
I'm clicking new window.
Hmm.
67MARQUEZ - July 23, 2009
Why haven't we heard from any of the ANers at this game?
Don’t they know they can comment on Athletics Nation from their phones or PDAs?
Englishmajor - July 23, 2009
Seriously.
67MARQUEZ - July 23, 2009
Maybe they got mugged
doctorK - July 23, 2009
Maybe they don't have anything to say.
LoneStranger - July 23, 2009
Boy this game just ran out of steam and died on us
sirbed - July 23, 2009
The Little Engine That Couldn't.
LoneStranger - July 23, 2009
I think you're confusing "this game" with "the Oakland Athletics"
This game is barreling ahead to its disappointing conclusion.
GreenNGoldSooner - July 23, 2009
When we were up 3-0 and Mazzaro was dealing
This game seemed quite promising
FrankCohen - July 23, 2009
Key word- SEEMED
ohtobe21likehuston - July 23, 2009
The first couple of innings were fun but not much to root for since
sirbed - July 23, 2009
It's because pam made me stop posting Gilmore Girls pics.
LoneStranger - July 23, 2009
whatev.
pam5981 - July 23, 2009
Are you ready
for Golden Girls pics?
ohtobe21likehuston - July 23, 2009
bring on the ladies
OakA'sHoney - July 23, 2009
not THOSE ladies
cuppingmaster - July 23, 2009
Hmm now I'm excited
sirbed - July 23, 2009
just joshing.
LoneStranger - July 23, 2009
Come on
We need some base runners!
FrankCohen - July 23, 2009
LET'S GO OAKLAND!
SwisherThresher - July 23, 2009
Our little team seems to be getting some regular ink in the NYT these days
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/24/sports/baseball/24oakland.html
pam5981 - July 23, 2009
Why is that a team that scored 16 runs a day ago
instills zero confidence today?
ohtobe21likehuston - July 23, 2009
Hey.
Game still going??
iglew - July 23, 2009
technically, yes.
pam5981 - July 23, 2009
yes
OakA'sHoney - July 23, 2009
Yes unfortunately
ohtobe21likehuston - July 23, 2009
Don't worry
Crosby gets to bat again.
Runs are on the way (thumbs up).
Daniel777 - July 23, 2009
Blargh.
pam5981 - July 23, 2009
score?
Is it worse than the 6-3 in the headline?
iglew - July 23, 2009
Not really
Kevin2 - July 23, 2009
Only in the sense that we have fewer outs...
…to make up the deficit.
GreenNGoldSooner - July 23, 2009
nomah groundout not satisfying
OakA'sHoney - July 23, 2009
How many times has Mariano
blown a 3 run lead?
FrankCohen - July 23, 2009
vs. anyone but Boston?
Not too often
ohtobe21likehuston - July 23, 2009
What was the score for Scutaro's walk-off?
iglew - July 23, 2009
Heck, three runs is nothing.
We can still win this.
iglew - July 23, 2009
{ups dosage}
Nico - July 23, 2009
can I have some?
sirbed - July 23, 2009
talk to Rated-R
he is soooo street
ohtobe21likehuston - July 23, 2009
I thought his parents didn't let him out of the house after dark?
pam5981 - July 23, 2009
He's "internet" street
ohtobe21likehuston - July 23, 2009
nice
67MARQUEZ - July 23, 2009
unnerving.
seriously.
i have tried to be optimistic tonight, especially in your absence. Can’t do it.
pam5981 - July 23, 2009
you gave it a shot
sirbed - July 23, 2009
I am the wind beneath your wings.
iglew - July 23, 2009
I was optimistic about this game for 3.5 innings
After that…not so much…
FrankCohen - July 23, 2009
Why can't Luis Sojo be playing 2nd tonight?
ohtobe21likehuston - July 23, 2009
Chuck Knoblauch
Trainman - July 23, 2009
i hated that guy too
cuppingmaster - July 23, 2009
for us or them?
cuppingmaster - July 23, 2009
Ellis never tripped over his dick
ohtobe21likehuston - July 23, 2009
Jairo Jairo
…it’s off to work he go.
GreenNGoldSooner - July 23, 2009
No Bloomy?
iglew - July 23, 2009
Rajai Catch Fail
micdog2001 - July 23, 2009
Why doesn't Rajai Davis get more playing...
Oh!
GreenNGoldSooner - July 23, 2009
EFF
pam5981 - July 23, 2009
Ah the Raji Davis I remember has returned
sirbed - July 23, 2009
yeah all that hitting was giving me amnesia
cuppingmaster - July 23, 2009
gggrrrr!!!
Jpwest76 - July 23, 2009
Did we trade Matt Holliday yet?
I thought I saw a fanshot about that.
iglew - July 23, 2009
no
OakA'sHoney - July 23, 2009
Not yet but the rumor mongers say it's 50/50
so who knows
sirbed - July 23, 2009
one of Olney's sources, to be exact.
LoneStranger - July 23, 2009
I read it from Heyman but I think they all get their stuff from the same source
sirbed - July 23, 2009
one of them is probably getting it from the other.
LoneStranger - July 23, 2009
What will be Holidays
Salary, if he ends up playing for the A’s 2010
hishnik - July 23, 2009
$18m probably
LoneStranger - July 23, 2009
I wish the trade deadline was tommorow
I want to see some fresh faces on this team. By the way, if we get Wallace, do you guys think he will get an immediate call up? Or will Beane be more cautious and instead keep in AAA the rest of the year?
FrankCohen - July 23, 2009
who's wallace?
Jpwest76 - July 23, 2009
Marsellus?
ohtobe21likehuston - July 23, 2009
Does he look like a bitch?
LoneStranger - July 23, 2009
what?
67MARQUEZ - July 23, 2009
Get out the ball gags
doctorK - July 23, 2009
Bring out the Gimp.
LoneStranger - July 23, 2009
The gimp is sleepin'
ohtobe21likehuston - July 23, 2009
Well, I guess you're gonna have to go wake him up now, won't you?
LoneStranger - July 23, 2009
Is Grace parked out front?
ohtobe21likehuston - July 23, 2009
LoneStranger - July 23, 2009
You lost your L.A. privileges
ohtobe21likehuston - July 23, 2009
Oooo-ooo
dream weaver
ohtobe21likehuston - July 23, 2009
I believe we can reach the morning light.
GreenNGoldSooner - July 23, 2009
Hey old people music
sirbed - July 23, 2009
There's got to be a morning after.....
LoneStranger - July 23, 2009
iglew - July 23, 2009
hot-link owned
Surprised this hasn’t happened to me
doctorK - July 23, 2009
No kidding
REO Speedwagon was kinda old people music even when it was new.
What an awful band!
GreenNGoldSooner - July 23, 2009
I'm sorry, Spanky
I have to live my own life
ohtobe21likehuston - July 23, 2009
Wasn't he drafted just last year?
I don’t know much about him, but that sounds pretty fast.
iglew - July 23, 2009
Take away the "s" in the description
And yeah, that’s what he is
FrankCohen - July 23, 2009
Drafted in 2008.
Yea, I’d probably keep in in AAA for the rest of the year, unless they trade Nomar or somehow end up with an empty slot at 3B.
LoneStranger - July 23, 2009
Trade Nomar
for what half a ham sandwich?
sirbed - July 23, 2009
I am kinda hungry.
LoneStranger - July 23, 2009
Well then you'd be the first A's fan that Nomar satisfied this year
sirbed - July 23, 2009
wouldn't it be a Hamm sandwich?
Kallus - July 23, 2009
now that I would trade for.
LoneStranger - July 23, 2009
oh yes please
OakA'sHoney - July 23, 2009
I think he meant Mia.
iglew - July 23, 2009
yup, and she can be the cheese
Kallus - July 23, 2009
I think the Hamm sandwich is down the board a bit
sirbed - July 23, 2009
no sense bringing him now i think
cuppingmaster - July 23, 2009
please strikeout jeter
OakA'sHoney - July 23, 2009
Keep wishing for strickouts, OAH!
GreenNGoldSooner - July 23, 2009
yes sit down Jeter
sirbed - July 23, 2009
yes!!
OakA'sHoney - July 23, 2009
hi all....just got back. Seems like this game's been up an down.
Most recently down
BERRYJO - July 23, 2009
Hey its the good Casilla, I like him.
brian.only - July 23, 2009
Who's our rally tonight?
iglew - July 23, 2009
can it be a guy?
OakA'sHoney - July 23, 2009
Sure, who do you like?
(besides Travis)
iglew - July 23, 2009
hey you never told us about those dreams OAH
cuppingmaster - July 23, 2009
And Pam never told us her DiGiorno limerick.
iglew - July 23, 2009
ZigFan told me it wasn't really all that dirty.
And then there was too much hype, so it would have never lived up to expectations anyway.
pam5981 - July 23, 2009
Speaking of ZigFan, has she returned from her softball game?
Rated-R Superstar - July 23, 2009
true, i owe you…
OakA'sHoney - July 23, 2009
and i'm collecting. pay up!
cuppingmaster - July 23, 2009
jon hamm threw me, i have to get back into travis mode….
OakA'sHoney - July 23, 2009
we tried Gilmore Girls already
pam5981 - July 23, 2009
Hughes still in the game?
Let’s at least get some runners on so they are forced to bring in Mariano
FrankCohen - July 23, 2009
Yes, good plan.
iglew - July 23, 2009
Rally Matthew?
iglew - July 23, 2009
We'll see.....
hope for the bestest rally ever!
BERRYJO - July 23, 2009
yuk
OakA'sHoney - July 23, 2009
Ooh, big fail by me.
I thought he’d be your type.
I still have much to learn.
iglew - July 23, 2009
Pshhhh. Talk about a himbo.
And you ragged on me for my David Beckham pic!
pam5981 - July 23, 2009
Was that typo?
BERRYJO - July 23, 2009
< retreats in shame >
iglew - July 23, 2009
Rally Jon Hamm
OakA'sHoney - July 23, 2009
Yea!
Agree with you on this one, OAH.
pam5981 - July 23, 2009
Well at least he can act unlike the other guy
sirbed - July 23, 2009
Is he related to Mrs Nomar?
iglew - July 23, 2009
i can live with that
mad men is awesome
cuppingmaster - July 23, 2009
August 16!
pam5981 - July 23, 2009
Great show
sirbed - July 23, 2009
That’s eight days before the first day of school.
Rated-R Superstar - July 23, 2009
Oh, how cute.
I forgot he goes to school.
iglew - July 23, 2009
i need to catch up on my season 2
cuppingmaster - July 23, 2009
yum!
OakA'sHoney - July 23, 2009
Who is that douche?
ohtobe21likehuston - July 23, 2009
jon hamm from mad men
OakA'sHoney - July 23, 2009
Exactly. Who?
ohtobe21likehuston - July 23, 2009
going by the pictures above
that’s Jon Hamm again.
Kevin2 - July 23, 2009
Is he trying desperately to be Robert Downey Jr.?
He doesn’t quite pull it off.
ohtobe21likehuston - July 23, 2009
Because he's not cracked up and in jail?
(Seriously, I adore Downey as a performer, but man, that dude is seriously messed up.)
iglew - July 23, 2009
He actually seems to be doing better this last year or so. More acting - less drugging.
BERRYJO - July 23, 2009
I was so bummed when he had to drop out of
Ally McBeal. He was bringing that show back to life. After that, it never quite recovered.
iglew - July 23, 2009
yep
67MARQUEZ - July 23, 2009
Oooh, Robert Downey Jr.
Note to self, for next round of rally pics.
pam5981 - July 23, 2009
Alas, too many mug shots coming up in the Google images search.
pam5981 - July 23, 2009
Maybe we need a bad boy for our rally mojo!?
BERRYJO - July 23, 2009
Quite possibly.
pam5981 - July 23, 2009
No, we need hot females, of course.
Rated-R Superstar - July 23, 2009
Only when we don't have hot males!!! LOL
BERRYJO - July 23, 2009
I’m back.
Rated-R Superstar - July 23, 2009
( O2B exits )
ohtobe21likehuston - July 23, 2009
Very dissapointing game
In the early going it seemed as though the A’s offense would pick up where it left off. Didn’t turn out that way…
FrankCohen - July 23, 2009
Rally Scooter
Bill Selby meet Marco Scutaro
SwisherThresher - July 23, 2009
Does this work?
LoneStranger - July 23, 2009
No, I see a male in the picture.
Rated-R Superstar - July 23, 2009
I think Lauren only works when she's alone
sirbed - July 23, 2009
or with another chick
doctorK - July 23, 2009
When she’s alone with me, yeah, she works.
Rated-R Superstar - July 23, 2009
dream on
sirbed - July 23, 2009
Well, I figured there were guys being posted. Might as well combine the two ideas.
Plus, Luke was awesome. He was a true Man’s Man.
LoneStranger - July 23, 2009
I loved Luke.
pam5981 - July 23, 2009
Honestly, besides the two hot girls,
Luke was a reason I watched the show. I always enjoy watching the guys who love a girl yet she has no clue. Like Big Bang Theory too.
It reminds me of life before I met my wife.
LoneStranger - July 23, 2009
that disheartening
he might as well have a slegnA hat on
cuppingmaster - July 23, 2009
Sad to say but Phil Hughes has been lights out since they put him in pen
Ya have to get to these bastards early and often or it is curtains.
Trainman - July 23, 2009
Can Crosby start a rally
Crystal 8 Ball says “no”
hishnik - July 23, 2009
Is Crosby the worst player on the A's?
8 ball says yes
sirbed - July 23, 2009
How much is a Crystal 8 Ball?
ohtobe21likehuston - July 23, 2009
Geren's face says
“Let’s just get out of here.”
walk off bunt - July 23, 2009
OakA'sHoney - July 23, 2009
Tryiing again with Rally Jon
pam5981 - July 23, 2009
Jon fails.
Rated-R Superstar - July 23, 2009
Are they booing
or is it huuuuuuuughes
cuppingmaster - July 23, 2009
(like it matters)
cuppingmaster - July 23, 2009
They're saying Booooo-urns
doctorK - July 23, 2009
Much as I dislike Crosby
Good for him for at least having a real at bat.
walk off bunt - July 23, 2009
no satisfaction tonight
OakA'sHoney - July 23, 2009
that sucks
call me
67MARQUEZ - July 23, 2009
'sucks' being the key verb.
LoneStranger - July 23, 2009
like that'll help.
pam5981 - July 23, 2009
maybe the A's game would be more satisfying by comparison :)
Kallus - July 23, 2009
Your man is still out of town?
iglew - July 23, 2009
actually he got back last night
OakA'sHoney - July 23, 2009
in that case
satisfaction still possible, no?
cuppingmaster - July 23, 2009
yes
OakA'sHoney - July 23, 2009
Have fun, Honey
iglew - July 23, 2009
have fun taking out your aggression over our loss on the bf
cuppingmaster - July 23, 2009
if he gets here before 11 otherwise it’s all travis
OakA'sHoney - July 23, 2009
maybe jon hamm – t-buck menage a trois…would u like to hear about that?
OakA'sHoney - July 23, 2009
sure
cuppingmaster - July 23, 2009
nope!
pam5981 - July 23, 2009
quite likely, I imagine
67MARQUEZ - July 23, 2009
but now he’s talking about going away for the weekend with the guys to go fishing or camping or some outdoor thing, plus he travels all the time for work so it’s gets annoying, this has been going on for 3 months now…
OakA'sHoney - July 23, 2009
Aw, that’s sad.
Rated-R Superstar - July 23, 2009
that's awesome
i mean, terrible
67MARQUEZ - July 23, 2009
Hmmmm.
iglew - July 23, 2009
For kicks
pam5981 - July 23, 2009
OH YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OakA'sHoney - July 23, 2009
I'm soooo ready for 2010
ohtobe21likehuston - July 23, 2009
If we trade for a decent bat in the middle of the lineup...
….and sign some undervalued veterans, this offense should pick up in no time!
GreenNGoldSooner - July 23, 2009
I'm very excited about our future pitching staff
Average hitting could win the division.
ohtobe21likehuston - July 23, 2009
LOL
hey and we’ll be healthy too!!
cuppingmaster - July 23, 2009
And Chavy is coming back, no? I hear he feels better than ever. 3B is settled!
LoneStranger - July 23, 2009
he's a slower starter
but he’ll pick up when the weather warms up!
cuppingmaster - July 23, 2009
BBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
micdog2001 - July 23, 2009
crap crap crap crap
Jpwest76 - July 23, 2009
LoneStranger - July 23, 2009
Sigh.
Rated-R Superstar - July 23, 2009
I feel so "Rory" right now...
Kallus - July 23, 2009
Indeed.
LoneStranger - July 23, 2009
I like that picture.
I never saw the show at all, though I was watching something on WB at the time, so I sometimes saw promos.
iglew - July 23, 2009
Nuck Yew Fork
doctorK - July 23, 2009
I can be so relaxed
And then the words “Mindy Bach and F. P. Santangelo” provoke instant action.
Englishmajor - July 23, 2009
I enjoy your humor.
67MARQUEZ - July 23, 2009
Mindi.
Rated-R Superstar - July 23, 2009
And it all started out so well
C.C. gets the W vs the A’s in NYC
SwisherThresher - July 23, 2009
To be fair, the game is in the Bronx.
Rated-R Superstar - July 23, 2009
Booo
C.C. gets the W vs the A’s in the…B
SwisherThresher - July 23, 2009
Good night all
Hopefully tomorrow will be more satisfying
doctorK - July 23, 2009
; )
OakA'sHoney - July 23, 2009
Night.
Rated-R Superstar - July 23, 2009
I just had a thought.... F.P. Santangelo doesn't have a contract, right?
We should totally sign him.
LoneStranger - July 23, 2009
I missed Mazarro's performance....how did he do?
I only saw the highlight of the homer (that was definately not good).
BERRYJO - July 23, 2009
His first three innings were really good. He struck out six batters while allowing just a single hit. After that, though, it was all downhill.
Rated-R Superstar - July 23, 2009
how far did he go into the game?
BERRYJO - July 23, 2009
He only went 4.1 innings.
Rated-R Superstar - July 23, 2009
Mmmmmm - thanks
BERRYJO - July 23, 2009
I need to cook up some dinner now before it's ridiculously late
Peace out.
iglew - July 23, 2009
Peace.
Rated-R Superstar - July 23, 2009
Cook well!
BERRYJO - July 23, 2009
I'm going to go take care of a sick one year old.
LoneStranger - July 23, 2009
Lots of hugs and love.....get the rest you can!
