MOJO

79 pitches

79? Wow.

Go Gio.

You're home?

Yeah, but going to dinner, then softball.

About an inning ago, I saw Gio twisting from side to side,

like his back was stiff. I hope that’s all that might be going on. His velocity was also down from 92-93 MPH to 89 MPH, but to Scott it was back up, so hopefully he’s ok. He’s pitching so well right now.

Yeah I noticed it too

It was strange, if nothing else

Enjoy it while you can

The crowds will show up in no time.

guapobob - August 10, 2009 reply

OOPS!

Replied to wrong comment

guapobob - August 10, 2009 reply

Motown moves.

I like the look of this place

you can really stretch out here.

Mmmm roomy.

Blicks, can you do the minor league lines tonight?

Sure.

Thanks.

No prob.

This is fun.

Hopefully he can stay out of his own head.

Zook flies out

1 down

Are we winning yet?

We’re winning.

Looks like I missed most of the game.

It has been a good game.

Oh wow Gio is good today.

I missed a lot.

Connie Mack's granddaughter

Is expected to throw out the first pitch this Sunday

Badass!

Suzuki hits to Jones again...

guess what happened?

Adam Jones

Aren’t we glad he isn’t in Seattle?

Roomy,

just for Bloomy.

what's the story on him anyways?

He used to post some really good stuff and now he’s not around.

He's sick right now,

or I’m sure he’d be here.

oh, ok.

Get well soon!!

His niece had the H1N1.

Hopefully, that’s not true for him.

I was thinking the same.....

BERRYJO - August 10, 2009 reply

wow, not good at all

Bozoomy,

also for Bloomy.

Vavavoomy!

Everidge flies out

2 down.

look at that bird

In Philly tonight it's about 85 degrees and incredibly humid

I cannot imagine how disgusting it must feel to run around in that bird costume tonight.

Also, it probably doesn’t smell all that good.

G'luck, Tommy

You look sorta like Matt Stairs, good luck having half the career.

Stairs had to have go close to some longevity record, dern that fireplug Canadian was around forever.

paradox - August 10, 2009 reply

Isn't he still around?

Yep, he's the Phillies' top pinch-hitter

He hit the last HR that Harry Kalas ever called, IIRC the day before he died.

Just saw the new post area…..looks like a thunderstorm is moving into Baltimore….

It’s about 10 minutes away.

we should morph our teams together

our pitchers and their position players. Youth and glory everywhere!!!!!!!!

green tusks - August 10, 2009 reply

Would be kind of awesome to do that with Texas, too.

One epic team, coming right up.

Oooh, forgot about Dunn.

Sadly, so has everyone else. That’s what Washington’s all about.

storm coming. great, i need a nap and wake up

to finish the game.

ak_A - August 10, 2009 reply

The wind is really picking up

A storm’s a brewin’

Bring it on.

I’ll take a cheap win.

CG SHO!

Will they call it if its into the 7th?

That's more than 5 IP, so yes.

Matt Cain on the Giants got a 5 IP CGV against the Nationals earlier this year.

thx.

Cain got a CGV?

Did he talk about politics?

He loves bush

Me too!!!

That makes two people.

Don't most guys?

Whoa.

We had a detailed discussion about this earlier in the week

Different strokes for different folks.

what was the verdict?

The older guys seem to like natural

The younger the “clean” look

Those in between preferred a nicely manicured lawn.

Oh look, the grounds crew!

Oh really? Zat ist veeeeevy intevesting.

That about summed it up.

interesting

As evidenced by said younger generation's

silly equation of bald with “clean”.

Ah.

Wow! Sorry I missed that one.

we could've used your input

dtownmbrown - August 10, 2009 reply

Well, just so you know.

Manicured.

Dood!

not sure how to reply, but zigfan handled it pretty well.

haha

dtownmbrown - August 10, 2009 reply

WAIT!

What did I miss?

It was quite detailed.

AN has no boundaries!

Awesome.

I gotta admit, I was a little uncomfortable watching that conversation unfurl.

Sorry pam

Yea, I couldn't comment.

But my eyes couldn’t stop reading!

I was as speechless as you could be on the internet while typing instead of talking.

we've offended your delicate sensibilities.

Hah.

I have to admit...

Not much makes me squemish. But I was pretty amazed how passionate you all were about it.

What else would we be more passionate about?

It’s kind of the meaning of life, you know.

people like what they like.

Personally, I roll with whatever the female in question likes.

Well, sure,

but that’s a general rule that applies to everything.

May as well be with a plastic doll if you’re not going to love her for who she is.

I think they’ll wait.

Yeah, that probably depends on how long the storm is projected to last. But at this point, the game's official.

Hey, all starters have hits!

Mid 7th 5-0 A’s
Rain is coming apparently

cunningham

does geren hate him or something? why doesn’t he play?

wobatus - August 10, 2009 reply

Uggghhh why do you call up Cunningham to sit him on the bench

Can’t stand this thinking.

They might bring him in.

they need to give him a chance.

Yep, just checked local radar and it looks like an intense storm.

So glad to see Gio putting it all together.

It's quite sexy

and I’m a man.

nice

TWSS

(liar).

( puts panties back on )

the field is messy

Come on, everybody to the storm cellar!

heh

paradox - August 10, 2009 reply

It's getting ready to rain here in Kansas.

Thunder booms and lighting are starting but the rain is coming.

About 70 degrees and sunny here in beautiful Oakland, CA.

With the bay breeze blowin'

Ugggghhh.

I seriously need to move out there someday.

it's great

Just make sure to line up a job first- expensive.

go inland a bit and you get 90s

BERRYJO - August 10, 2009 reply

if you stay on the bay side of the tunnel it's good

Mother Nature's air conditioning, yay!

it was 105 here today

and humid too.

But we're not in kansas anymore.....

BERRYJO - August 10, 2009 reply

Mora hits the first pitch of the innning to center for a single

Those guys on the field picking up wrappers remind me of

those booths with all the money flying around and you’re supposed to try to grab as much of it as you can.

reminds me of freaking Candlestick park

paradox - August 10, 2009 reply

Anyone else see Hairston pick up a styrofoam cup and look inside?

Like he was tempted to drink from it or something.

Bull Durham?

This is bad.

As long as he didn't tweak something

He’s not going to shut everyone out every time.

He can and he will.

Start a warmup?

MobiusKlein - August 10, 2009 reply

The reports of my demise are {cough}

somewhat accurate…

Haha!

Knew you couldn’t resist!

What are your symptoms?

I have a sore throat and feel kind of feverish.

Hopefully this isn't an ethervirus

BERRYJO - August 10, 2009 reply

similar.

burning up, all-over body ache,

Did you get that care package from David Ortiz yet?

And you're here 'cuz why?

cuz the A's is on.

and I can’t resist.

Hello, sir.

hullo

You're adorable.

feel better!

That means on the bright side- NO SIGNS!

right?

it's kind of a strange situation, though.

See if I don’t make the signs, NO ONE makes the signs, so I’m just stacking up the work for myself.

durnit...

Cloning LB, cloning.

that'd be cool.

Pizza. I want pizza.

Mama spank.

Whoa!

Can't the lunatics run the asylum for a while?

they can, but they make sign.

I’m the only who does design. Front of the house is easiest to fake, and IO’ve got a production guy, but if no one’s doing the design…

Know it all too well except our customer's are more complex

than just design. They also require wayfinding which can take forever with state codes and building layouts.

that sounds doubly horrific.

That's exactly how I felt when I got the flu earlier this year.

Kaiser swears it wasn’t H1N1, but they’re not really testing for it either.

Which one?

Which Kaiser?

I was just dealing with the advice nurse over the phone. It wouldn’t have mattered much – they are treating them all the same unless your symptoms worsen, at which point they could actually tell if it is H1N1. My symptoms didn’t get worse, I just had them for a realllllllly long time.

I of course was talking about which emperor of the German/Austrian/

Austro-Hungarian empire you had conversed with.

That said, they’re doing the same over here with the H1N1 stuff – i.e. unless you’re dying they’re pretty much ignoring people.

Ah. Got it.

Bloomie.....

glad to see you!

BERRYJO - August 10, 2009 reply

woof.

Ruh roh

Runners on 2nd ,3rd no outs.

Double?

yeah

Yup. Crushed, off the wall.

winchester5 - August 10, 2009 reply

Well.....I guess Gio's gonna get his chance to hold it together.

BERRYJO - August 10, 2009 reply

settle down gio...

Raining.

Tarp out.

TARP

aznboirick - August 10, 2009 reply

Game counts

Gio’s outing holds up.

TARP

ITS A TARP

That really needs a picture.

Would, but I don't know the link, and I'm too lazy to google it.

?

LOL!

POTM!

Rec'd

are they calling it?

Be cooler if they did

worldblee - August 10, 2009 reply

No.

No, they'll wait a while

I'm guessing Gio is done then.

Yeah, no reason to make him throw after sitting out the rain delay

I think he was about done anyways, but it would have been nice to see him try to pitch through this situation.

Well at least Springer is gone-

Still chance for a Shutout!

Casilla is still here.

fingers over eyes

La la la I didn’t read that.

SHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

BERRYJO - August 10, 2009 reply

oops

Has there ever been a perfect game or no hitter cut short by rain

I would be sad if my NoNo didn’t count because they called the game for rain after 7

MobiusKlein - August 10, 2009 reply

OK, I just got here, so I don't know

if you’re just speaking theoretically. But if this is of immediate significance … um, hello?

Wikipedia says:

A game that cannot continue due to weather or darkness may be considered a completed official game, as long as at least five innings have been completed. Until 1991, any such game in which a pitcher held the opposing team without hits was considered an official no-hitter; however under the current rule, a no-hitter must last for at least nine innings to count. As the rule was applied retroactively, thirty-six games in which a no-hitter was interrupted by weather or darkness, with lengths ranging from 5 to 8 innings, are no longer considered no-hitters.

that seems unfair.

I wonder if the rain delay would last longer than usual

if a guy had a “no-no” going? Would they have to call Bud Vader to get his permission?

Remember Paul Byrd throwing a fit when his almost-5-inning-no-no was called for snow in Cleveland?

Luckily Byrd can now comfort himself with the thought that the snow-shortened no-hitter wouldn’t have counted anyway.

Or, he can just comfort himself with the porn. His choice.

porn has always remained such a source of comfort for me,

heck, for all of us, really.

I read somewhere that porn keeps the plumber away

sage advice

Do you think the Indians had a "zero tolerance" policy WRT Byrd and porn?

only when he was driving

Because frankly, "hands free" porn is terrible.

I have learned that it isn’t as fun.

you don't use your feet?

monkey porn.

Speaking of hands free -

just saw on the news 100,000 cell phone violations use…..in the two years since the law was passed. (I know it’s not porn related – sry).

BERRYJO - August 10, 2009 reply

Well, it COULD be porn related...

dirty minds

DMTA!

Boys will be boys.

Not in the porn I watch!

There aren’t any boys in mine!

Yet they will be boys?

You are one sick and twisted puppy.

{Call me}

NOW, we know!

Muahahaha!

Crap, did I say something I shouldn’t have?

(It’s not like that ever happens in here.)

Um...

All girls in your porn?

mine is.

That is accurate.

me too

You like all girls in your porn?

I am so turned on right now.

You're 17

No offense, but that’s tantamount to saying that you’re breathing.

Ah, that is true.

Great thread, huh?

Yes, ma’am.

Then all I'm saying is,

now we know. And apparently you’re not alone.

it could be

SMTA

When correctly viewed,

everything is lewd.

I don't think a prayer read by the Pope would be...

he is Catholic...

I’m sure you could find something about little boys in it.

I have the book somewhere.

I’m going to go find it and sing it at the piano right now.

Some of his best rhymes

Leo would surely approve.

You don't know the Smut song?

It’s one of his best.

I hear they did until he shared some

Then they had a “50% discount policy.”

Speaking of which,

I’m still waiting for Pam’s Justin Morneau limerick.

and why is that?

Because "porno" and "three, sure (four, no)" rhyme?

i'm not getting the porno - plumber connection

I think there was a pizza delivery boy involved.

It’s not delivery, it’s DiGiorno.

that's a great fantasy

"Ooh, extra toppings!"

{delivery boy blushes}

where do you live and what type of pizza do you like?

All the women order a large pizza, with extra anchovies.

Is that the Zorro in the freezer ad?

Ooh -- cryogenic porn is the best!

Why are the groundscrew covering the outfield first?

Have you seen the Orioles' infield?

They don’t want Markakis or Jones getting hurt, sure, but Cesar Izturis?

+1

Funny.

Grounds-crew looks like ground-screw.

You'll never join the "mile high club" that way

Well, if you're not in Denver, at least

Rain Delay, Bottom 7th

O’s have runners at 2nd, 3rd. None out.

I don't see Gio coming back out if the game resumes.

Especially if it takes a while. Great outing, Gio. Yet again!

Well timed from the A's point of view,

as it means the end of the line for Gio who looks like he’s out of gas anyway. Our starting pitchers don’t get outs in the 7th.

One won lost won - August 10, 2009 reply

what you just said

true

The storm looks intense but thin…..they might continue the game after it passes…

I'm switching over to the Toronto-NY game

May as well enjoy a little Scutaro time.

worldblee - August 10, 2009 reply

good idea

green tusks - August 10, 2009 reply

in vallejo in this heat, yuk, i wonder if anyone was hanging upside down?

I would definitely barf.

that's about 25 minutes west of me.

another bad day weather wsie in the Bay Area?

86 at the hot shop, ugh.

in Alameda?!

East Oakland.

still..

Yep.

The boys were drenched and exhausted.

just hot

Heard in on the radio

If I recall right, I think it was Vertigo. They were stuck upside down, for quite a while. This is not the first time that’s happened at Six Flags, Vallejo.

"More Disasters! More Lawsuits! 6 Flags!"

Speaking of which, on the commercials why did they replace the Asian guy with a really old white guy who speaks like he’s mimicking the Asian guy?

Are they still using that dancing old guy?

God, he was annoying.

And I don't think that guy is even old......

just pretending to be old. Creepy

BERRYJO - August 10, 2009 reply

wait, he's pretending ot be old AND Asian?

What kinda joint they running out there in Vallejo?

Vallejo IS the home of E-40.

I’m just sayin

I thought it was at Great America

i can't remember what its called

it’s the one in vallejo

Used to be Marine World.

It’s now “Discovery Kingdom” or something. It’s still Marine World to me.

Yep

Marine World Africa USA

I was fine with them shortening it to Marine World.

Marine World Africa USA is just such a mouthful. But Discovery Kingdom? Why, Six Flags, why?

But the intercom welcome was pretty epic

As you walked up to the entrance and the booming voice would say “Welcome to Marine World!… Africa!.. U.S.A!”

Those were the best damn 2nd grade field trips

Marine World was in Redwood City!! And it got transported to Vallejo

then got a name change. Not sure what it all means…..

BERRYJO - August 10, 2009 reply

that was forever ago.

I was gonna say

I don’t remember it ever being in RC

I used to have season passes there prior to '92 and had them for at least 5 years before that.

And they still have Marine World Blvd. in RC, yes?

I think so...don't get over that way much.

BERRYJO - August 10, 2009 reply

I've been to the Marine World in Redwood City

Waaaay back when.

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2009/08/10/BA9H196LKB.DTL

This happened in Santa Clara.

Thanks for the clarification

So the coaster is called INvertigo.

20-30 people spent hours stuck on the coaster, as people were rescued one by one. I would probably woof my cookies.

woof?

woooof

i must be going blind i thought i saw vallejo

dorry

sorry

you just wanted to lie to us all.

true

actually i think when i flashed on the channel it was showing when it happened years ago in vallejo so i thought it was the same place

Can I just say this game delay would REALLY blow w/ out AN.

is that good?

Ha ha -- you misspelled "2009 season"

LMAO

fixed

or 2008 season,

or 2007 season…

No love for the mid-game Buan-cast?

I am watching wrestling.

You should stop and go turn on the TV.

No, I like it better on the Internet.

I am not listening.

oh i'm sorry

by the way santa is real, and the easter bunny too

I KNEW IT!

Confirmed.

I already knew that.

Hey!

I saw the Easter bunny hopping around my house when I was a kid.

did you drink a lot of cough syrup as a child?

Yes. Yes I did.

Is that why I’m sick now?

someone really should want ot turn back time, huh?

"If I could turn back time...

I’d spell ‘to’ correctly…" Don’t feel bad — the spelling is totally counter-intuitive.

Okay! Now we've got a fair fight!

Butch Cassidy?

Nope.

I love that film.

But then I think Tom Cruise is awesome…

He thinks so, too

I bet his wife truly hates him

He was damn good in that role

Everyone was good in that movie.

Seriously.

Much like everyone was awesome in Top Gun.

And Cocktail. And A Few Good Men.

Dude just makes good movies.

films are awesome

you should watch some, they’re art

That’s how we say it.

I want to see it

but I can’t look at Mickey Rourke’s face for that long of a period.

it is frightening to look at, but worth it

Absolutely.

Great movie!

I almost cried

It's quite good.

I wouldn’t call it Best Picture nomination quality, but it’s worth a watch, definitely.

His performance was though.

Yes, it was.

Still glad Sean Penn won, though. Milk was terrific, and he was the best part.

loved him and it

Still have to see it.

I’m a little behind getting through my Netflix queue.

Elbow herpes is the worst kind.

space herpes.

MLB Ntwk just showed the rain in Baltimore

There’s a waterfall behind the outfield wall, and a river of trash running along the stands at the bottom of the third deck.

yuk

Must be difficult being a Orioles fan at the moment.

2nd and 3rd, no outs.
What a way to ruin the mojo.

Sigh.

Buck fan on the line.

what line?

what about buck?

Buan

i can't get that station

15 bucks for the year aint bad.

i mean the am reception for ktrb

they need a better radio station...

especially near Solano county.

agreed.

great deal.

They are probably talking about baseball.

I think he's talking about the mid game rain delay show on ktrb

The Orioles dugout is flooded

and there’s a lake in the right field

Awesome.

I think I’m going to watch some Wire.

best show ever!

We're playing Baltimore- its fitting.

It finally would have a use!

You didn’t hear it from me.

why?

That’s why.

Hell, they beat the British for us back in the 18th century

that was the last time they didn't surrender in a war.

Well, other than Napoleon conquering all of Europe

wasn't that before the American Revolution?

No.

oops...not really up on my French history.

don’t really care to be either…I don’t have a problem with them, just like occasionally making smart ass comments on the surrendering. They’re lovers not fighters.

They're one of the most influential nations in history.

It’s a little silly to make smart arse comments about them really.

The Franks were once the fiercest and most feared fighting force in all of Europe

No

Late 1790s into the early 19th century.

Napoléon is post-French Revolution (1797, IIRC).

1793-1815 I think. I'd have to check that start date though,

it’s been a while.

You could definitely be right there

The Baron started that war.

You probably have to go back a ways in fairness.

Woah, woah, woah.

We LET you have the country, we didn’t want it anyway. Plus we’ve totally saved Europe 3 times so y’know ….. that has no relevance but I thought I’d bring it up.

IF you're counting WWII in that total

I submit to you that your country were mere months away from getting flattened by Hitler if we were to not intercede. Surely you would not have mounted an offensive to free Europe.

Yeah

I’ve never really heard another version to that story.

Well, it was Uncle Joe and a few million dead Soviets who really defeated Germany in any case

Well technically it was the Russians - they could

claim two of the three European saves as they broke the back of two armies (Napoleons and Hitlers)…..

I don't know what the ethnic composition of the Red Army was in WWII

but Stalin was Georgian, not Russian, and they fought under the Soviet flag.

Stalin was indeed Georgian, directing the Soviet forces from

Moscow……

You’re right though there were other nationalities in the Red Army – Ukrainians, Belarusians, Georgians, Albanians etc etc. The majority were Russian though.

Y'mean when we turned back Operation SeaLion by winning

the Battle of Britain? Good luck launching a Blitzkreig across the English Channel when you don’t have control of the skies or the seas.

good luck mounting that offensive

WITH NO FUCKING MEN.

Wait, what?

Are we still talking about R-Star’s porn collection?

We'd have beaten them with awesomeness....and Spitfires.

Oh and probably the guys in the colonies and the Desert Rats.

Ok maybe not, but the plucky Brits stood toe to toe with the Third Reich and didn’t blink. That’s gotta count for something, right?

Shit, really?

Napoleon might have something to say about that.

Where 55 BC = 1939

History fail.

Hey, I don't do that anymore

Maybe that's why he's sad

He's ashamed of Springer

Je trouve très beau de la langue

i think you mean to say

je me trouve la langue francais d’etre tres belle

I said

I think the language is beautiful, no?

were you trying to say i find the language beautiful?

Yes

et, aussi, langue est 'tongue'

Je crois que la langue française est très belle

oui!

Michele, my bell

these are words that go together well…

BEATLES!!!!!!

Can any Francophones out there

translate what Paul McCartney is singing in that song for me? I always wondered.

you mean that phrase just below this comment?

Yeah, that one.

Oops, reply fail

See answer below.

I always thought

It was saying “tres bien ensemble” as in… very good set. Michelle… you have a very good set. : )

Hmm, an imaginative interpretation

All songs can be indecent songs
(though recent songs are bolder),
for filth, I’m glad to say,
is in the mind of the beholder.

I ♥ your poetry, Iglew.

In a manly way, of course.

Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble

It's exactly what follows in the song.

“those are words that go together well”

tres bien

Ah!

How clever.

My Michelle.

Love that song.

I love 99% of the Beatles Songs

I’m actually buying Rock Band Beatles the day it comes out.

What's the other 1%?

Revolution 9?

there were a few songs on the white album that weren't for me

Can’t remember exact titles though.

let's start with

Maxwell’s Silver Hammer

The white album is a dreadful record, and nearly destroyed pop music

I actually liked that one.

They Abbey Road version

is still a lot better than Steve Martin’s!

The other 1%?

I think those are the ones I like.

I like the ones with handclaps in

then they just started getting all up themselves

I like the ones with no guitars.

(and “Yesterday”)

what that says is

i find very beautiful of the language

gotcha

This actually worked for me once.

Thanks, two semesters of French.

For anyone wishing to keep tabs on the rain:

gallagher vs gio

they were handled very simiilar, both struggled with their initial callups…you could argue gallagher was more impressive than gio last yr. SO why was one dumped and the other given a hane to faial and later do well. Seemed like they showed more patience with gio

I actually requested

hane to faial for X-Mas but did I get one? Nooooo.

That's b/c no one knew WHAT yolu asked for! hehehe
