I do think, though, that if he plays a full season,
Pennington has closer to .350 slugging power as a major leaguer. On a team with enough offense, I think he’d be an asset — the A’s need to supplement their lineup around him if they want him to be an answer for them.
But it has since evolved (or deteriorated, depending on your view) so that it’s commonly read as a numerical valuation of how enthusiastic one is about an idea, leading to comments like “-1”, “+1000” or other things that make no sense in the original context.
On a side note, has anyone ever seen that Temptations movie they play on VH1 from time to time? I swear Davis looks like one of the Temptations in that movie.
That actually wouldn’t be a bad nickname. The Temptation.
Cahill for the 8th? He’s under 100 pitches but he’s gonna face the top of the order and this game is close. I say send him out there, I mean this season’s about the youn ones.
He did right before they cut to commercial after the nice catch. Cunningham looks into the left field bleachers and starts his motion to toss, then pulled back and smirked.
Baseball is crazy though – screaming into someone’s face is acceptable, so’s hitting someone with a baseball, so’s trying to injure the 2B/SS with a slide at 2B, but a fistfight is out of bounds.
It’s never the umps’ fault. Bad ump calls are like bad bounces. They’re random fluctuations that sometimes happen. A good team plays well enough to win even with bad breaks. If a game comes down to a bad call, you should have played better so that it wasn’t that close.
i guess it’s treated differently than the game thread, i didn’t realize that, plus we did get rambuncious and naughty, but i don’t want to offend people so i’ll be good
So this is what
baseball is like without a delay.

Good evening to all.

Its Bloomy in the roomy!

Hey, we're behind.
I actually can’t remember the last time I joined a game late and found us behind.
Admittedly, I have a pretty short memory.

Rawr mikev!
ZigFan31 - August 11, 2009
I'm loving Cahill's changeup tonight
Seems like the closest thing to a “putaway pitch” he’s had all year. I think this is an excellent outing overall.
One nice thing about playing the O’s, especially post-Sherrill, is that you know you have 9 innings against them.
Nico - August 11, 2009
ooh, psychic
you pre-emptively answered my question.
iglew - August 11, 2009
I have difficulty seeing him becoming good.
Keep convincing me.
ohtobe21likehuston - August 11, 2009
How has Trevor been tonight?
Vince just said 11 groundballs, so that sounds pretty good.
iglew - August 11, 2009
If only he could control the runners, who knows?
Rated-R Superstar - August 11, 2009
Here we go....
BERRYJO - August 11, 2009
Can we have some steroids loophole where it's okay for Pennington to take them?
Pennington and Pennington only.
Joey C. - August 11, 2009
As long as he hits .279 I'm OK with his lack of power
worldblee - August 11, 2009
I'd prefer .280
Flashfire - August 11, 2009
You’re so picky.
Rated-R Superstar - August 11, 2009
You're new threads have been amazing tonight
I must say.
lynnzgal - August 11, 2009
Your.
Rated-R Superstar - August 11, 2009
Haha! Yeah.
lynnzgal - August 11, 2009
I couldn’t resist.
Rated-R Superstar - August 11, 2009
Its cool. I'm pretty anal that way too.
lynnzgal - August 11, 2009
wait what?
mikev - August 11, 2009
Anal.
Rated-R Superstar - August 11, 2009
We're talking grammar here.
lynnzgal - August 11, 2009
Oh, right.
I am silly.
Rated-R Superstar - August 11, 2009
speak for yourself
mikev - August 11, 2009
Oh, I am.
I’ve been properly chastised.
lynnzgal - August 11, 2009
Indeed.
mikev - August 11, 2009
I don't know what you're talking about.
< smiles demurely >
iglew - August 11, 2009
Your, grammar fail, sorry.
lynnzgal - August 11, 2009
Aw, shucks. 'twern't nothin', ma'am.
Flashfire - August 11, 2009
but combine with sweeney's .270 and lack of power
and we have a power drain
cuppingmaster - August 11, 2009
He's already hit 1 HR and 2 doubles off the right field wall since he got called up
Nick - August 11, 2009
And he stole that base easily.
OldhamA - August 11, 2009
Good arm, too.
Hands are a bit shaky [begins to work out lyrics to “Penny Man With the Shaky Hands”]
Nick - August 11, 2009
I do think, though, that if he plays a full season,
Pennington has closer to .350 slugging power as a major leaguer. On a team with enough offense, I think he’d be an asset — the A’s need to supplement their lineup around him if they want him to be an answer for them.
Nico - August 11, 2009
If he can supplement that with a .350 OBP, I'd take it.
mikev - August 11, 2009
I would too. I think .300-.320 is more likely, though.
Nico - August 11, 2009
then he'll have no value going forward.
mikev - August 11, 2009
Unless he steals 40 bags.
OldhamA - August 11, 2009
I actually think he's a better utility INF than Crosby
even with a .300 OBP (which is…Crosby’s anyway), because he’s a better defensive SS and a better base-stealer.
Nico - August 11, 2009
Crosby's bad at baseball though.
Plus I think Kennedy has that job locked up next season. I’m looking at Pennington as a starter.
OldhamA - August 11, 2009
It would be a huge mistake for the A's to count on Kennedy as a backup SS next season
Nick - August 11, 2009
or Crosby
but I don’t see that happening anyway.
ohtobe21likehuston - August 11, 2009

How many pitches is Cahill at?
Any chance he comes out for the 7th?
speckops - August 11, 2009
It's Alby: The racist dragon!
cityplANner - August 11, 2009
no, it's famous homager of squares Josef Albers

My friend loves that show.

Hey. I watch that show.
ohtobe21likehuston - August 11, 2009
I have to catch up on Netflix.
I like what I’ve seen so far.
lynnzgal - August 11, 2009
Do you like horror/slasher type films at all?
If you do, I demand that you add Behind The Mask: The Rise Of Leslie Vernon to your queue ASAP.
Thank me later.
mikev - August 11, 2009
No, not my thing.
Bad scifi I find hilarious though.
lynnzgal - August 11, 2009
Watch it anyway. Trust me.
mikev - August 11, 2009
K, I'll give it a look.
lynnzgal - August 11, 2009
Sweet! Also, watch that movie.

Nice try, mikey.

Profoundly true!!
BERRYJO - August 11, 2009
I did, but I wanted to ruin it with my own joke
except I hit post before I finished it. I’m kinda sucky.
stormtown - August 11, 2009
If it's any consolation - I looked it up.
BERRYJO - August 11, 2009
Damnit. I caught the reference, but couldn't remember where it was from.
-1 to me, or whatever it is people do with the numbers and the adding and the subtracting and the like.
walk off bunt - August 11, 2009
As originally conceived, "+1" means
“one additional person who feels the same way”.
But it has since evolved (or deteriorated, depending on your view) so that it’s commonly read as a numerical valuation of how enthusiastic one is about an idea, leading to comments like “-1”, “+1000” or other things that make no sense in the original context.
iglew - August 11, 2009
+1

speckops - August 11, 2009
Like - are you a professor or something???
love the way you explain things!
BERRYJO - August 11, 2009
No, I could never be a professor.
I would refuse to give grades to anyone. I think grades are stupid.
iglew - August 11, 2009
then you're the professor for me!
cityplANner - August 11, 2009
I got it right away but wasn't hear to comment.
That Albi began to cry dragon tears:
Which as we all know turn into jelly beans!
winchester5 - August 11, 2009
cahill has been decent so far but has been unlucky
green tusks - August 11, 2009
given up too many hits. At least none were out of the park
cityplANner - August 11, 2009
I think that's actually what he meant by unlucky.
speckops - August 11, 2009
10 ER in the last 3.1 innings?
I’ll take it!

Rajai bunt inside the park HR
just like in RBI Baseball

why is pennington moneypenny
he’s not a hot redhead
cuppingmaster - August 11, 2009
First round draft pick.

It's up to Rajai now.
OldhamA - August 11, 2009
Okay time for rajai magic!
cuppingmaster - August 11, 2009
Cust walks, runners at 1st and 2nd.

Sigh.
Rated-R Superstar - August 11, 2009
Wait, your parents haven't enabled parental controls...
to prevent you from visiting AN?
Oh, the horror.

Nico prefers hardballs.
With Chris Matthews.

I am still confused.
Rated-R Superstar - August 11, 2009
we live to confuse you

That is sure what it seems like sometimes.
Rated-R Superstar - August 11, 2009
You're thinking of blue balls

Does that make me a perv?
Or is it all the other stuff?

i was stuck at work too then had to run errands so i missed most of this game
OakA'sHoney - August 11, 2009

this isn't a jinx, but i noticed cahill hasn't walked anyone?
Deborah51 - August 11, 2009
Dude!
lynnzgal - August 11, 2009
“Dude” should come in a female form.
Rated-R Superstar - August 11, 2009
Dudette?
speckops - August 11, 2009
That is not a word.
Rated-R Superstar - August 11, 2009
at some point
it was fashionable to say dudette. however, no one says that now
cuppingmaster - August 11, 2009
I totally still do that.
speckops - August 11, 2009
like, totally?
cuppingmaster - August 11, 2009
dude is fine. i don't like that crap about "Lady Panthers", "Lady Vols".
do they call the men, the “Man Panthers”? no, and that sounds pretty stupid anyway.
Deborah51 - August 11, 2009
Women can totally be dudes.
Or even awesome dudes.
iglew - August 11, 2009
Is this about Rajai?
Nico - August 11, 2009
exactly!
Deborah51 - August 11, 2009
the Dude abides...
cityplANner - August 11, 2009
Now that there is a great movie.
walk off bunt - August 11, 2009
< bites tongue >
I’m not saying anything.
iglew - August 11, 2009
Ah Rajai.
On a side note, has anyone ever seen that Temptations movie they play on VH1 from time to time? I swear Davis looks like one of the Temptations in that movie.
That actually wouldn’t be a bad nickname. The Temptation.
walk off bunt - August 11, 2009
I actually like that.
Not the movie, the nickname.
67MARQUEZ - August 11, 2009
Was there an evil manager in that movie?
worldblee - August 11, 2009
Yeah -- he kept smelling his fingers all the time
Nick - August 11, 2009
Kinda fits, doesn't it?
Rajai “The Temptation” Davis.
You can spread this, Marquez. You have the power.
walk off bunt - August 11, 2009
Sounds cool, but I'll let you run with it. Thatt way you get proper credit.
67MARQUEZ - August 11, 2009
that sounds more like a WWF name
cuppingmaster - August 11, 2009
I don't post enough. But I'll throw it out there from time to time when I do, see if it catches.
walk off bunt - August 11, 2009
So that radio commercial promoting Buan's postgame show featuring Vin Mazzaro--
they keep pronouncing his last name mah-zay-ro, not mah-zah-ro. It’s bugging me.
pam5981 - August 11, 2009
i'm glad i'm not the only one who thinks that
cuppingmaster - August 11, 2009
Mah-zair-o
Is actually the correct pronounciation.
ZigFan31 - August 11, 2009
Mah-ZAIR-o?
speckops - August 11, 2009
Yes
ZigFan31 - August 11, 2009
i'll take mah-czar-oh for $1000
cuppingmaster - August 11, 2009
Is that how Vin says it?
iglew - August 11, 2009
Yes
ZigFan31 - August 11, 2009
Well, that settles it then.
On the other hand, Jason Giambi says “jom-bee” and that never stopped everyone from saying “jee-om-bee”.

pam5981 - August 11, 2009
I totally thought that, too.
But I figured it would be too petty to mention.

I'm in a petty mood, I guess.

Let's make it pretty, instead.

I feel petty, oh so petty,
I feel petty, and ready to wriiiiite.

cuppingmaster - August 11, 2009
He has been very disappointing of late

ohtobe21likehuston - August 11, 2009

How do you use that incorrectly?
pam5981 - August 11, 2009

67MARQUEZ - August 11, 2009
"as of late"

One of the standard radio ads has an extraneous "as"
in it which always bugs me. But now I can’t think of which one it is.

Cahill for the 8th? He’s under 100 pitches but he’s gonna face the top of the order and this game is close. I say send him out there, I mean this season’s about the youn ones.

worldblee - August 11, 2009
+1 to Cunningham for fake throwing the ball into the stands and subsequent boos.
kenntoe - August 11, 2009
Did he? I like that
worldblee - August 11, 2009
He did right before they cut to commercial after the nice catch. Cunningham looks into the left field bleachers and starts his motion to toss, then pulled back and smirked.
Cue music, fade to black.
kenntoe - August 11, 2009
Tintin has a mean streak.
OldhamA - August 11, 2009
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
iglew - August 11, 2009
So Marshall is Captain Haddock?
Nick - August 11, 2009
Nice catch by Cunningham,
but really shouldn’t the A’s send him to AA and let him be a defensive replacement there for a few months? Or would that totally not make sense?
Nico - August 11, 2009
It'd make as much sense as what they currently do with him

You'll have to explain that one to me...

I hate that &*(_
BERRYJO - August 11, 2009
We'll never know how that might have ended up
Flashfire - August 11, 2009
would have been GIDP
you know it.
MobiusKlein - August 11, 2009
he probably would have taken a rip at the first one, that's for sure
cuppingmaster - August 11, 2009
unbelievable
cityplANner - August 11, 2009
ugh i thought you had one last hurrah nomah
cuppingmaster - August 11, 2009
Well, it didn't quite go like last night
walk off bunt - August 11, 2009
Well I hate to blame the A's tonight
We got screwed by the umpire right when things were about to happen.
ohtobe21likehuston - August 11, 2009
Well, there was that little bit about f'ing PH'ing with NOMAR.
speckops - August 11, 2009
As long as he is on the roster
he will continue to pinch-hit. I don’t like it either.
ohtobe21likehuston - August 11, 2009
But he might not have had to come in if Ellie is at 1st with 1 out?
BERRYJO - August 11, 2009
honestly
I prefer he be up there instead of Pennington
BleedGreen - August 11, 2009
Same.
Geren made the right moves, Barrett didn’t.
Nico - August 11, 2009
except that Geren should have gotten himself ejected
Show some love for your players, Bob
cityplANner - August 11, 2009
and put on an undershirt please
OakA'sHoney - August 11, 2009
with 2 outs in the 9th?
What would be the point?
BleedGreen - August 11, 2009
I'd love to see a manager actually punch an ump for once.
Y’know rather than getting 2mm away from their face and screaming into it.
OldhamA - August 11, 2009
Wow, I disagree with that so much.
That’s a line that really really should not be crossed.
iglew - August 11, 2009
Hey
He’s not from around here.
ohtobe21likehuston - August 11, 2009
Each to their own I suppose.
Baseball is crazy though – screaming into someone’s face is acceptable, so’s hitting someone with a baseball, so’s trying to injure the 2B/SS with a slide at 2B, but a fistfight is out of bounds.
OldhamA - August 11, 2009
The last time I took out someone with a hard slide,
I was suspended from work for 2 weeks. It was a clean slide, too, but did the superintendent care?
Nico - August 11, 2009
Why is that?
speckops - August 11, 2009
No way.
It’s never the umps’ fault. Bad ump calls are like bad bounces. They’re random fluctuations that sometimes happen. A good team plays well enough to win even with bad breaks. If a game comes down to a bad call, you should have played better so that it wasn’t that close.
iglew - August 11, 2009
This time it was the umpires fault
and he knows it.
BleedGreen - August 11, 2009
Exception: Denkinger, 1985 WS
But rarely does a call so directly impact a game.
Nico - August 11, 2009
A bad call is the only way that KC could win a WS
ohtobe21likehuston - August 11, 2009
I understand what you are saying
but we should have runners on 1st and 2nd with two outs. Horrible call.
ohtobe21likehuston - August 11, 2009
That still gives the O's about a 70% win exp
so let’s just pretend Kennedy also flied to CF. Even though he would have hit a rocking two-run triple because he’s Unikennedy.
Nico - August 11, 2009
Is that like unisex?
speckops - August 11, 2009
I just wish we could have had an opportunity :-(
ohtobe21likehuston - August 11, 2009
There was that Twins call at the plate to end the game a month ago.
Not saying they would’ve won, but still.
speckops - August 11, 2009
Yeah, the Twins had more right to moan then than we did tonight
Other than the whole “blowing a 10 run lead” thing.
Nico - August 11, 2009
Yeah, definitely.
speckops - August 11, 2009
That was a too close to call play
Ellis was most certainly safe on this.
BleedGreen - August 11, 2009
It really wasn't that close.
Almost the whole leg had crossed the plate before the tag.
bloodshot13 - August 11, 2009
No way.
I’d say the exact same thing to them. In fact, I think I did, in that game thread.
iglew - August 11, 2009
I dig this.
I’m even less inclined to blame an ump when it’s in the middle of an eventual 85-loss season.
Shit happens.
walk off bunt - August 11, 2009
Get off the field, Barrett
Flashfire - August 11, 2009
Wow.
lynnzgal - August 11, 2009
Why is Geren trying to play peacemaker with Barret?
Stand up for your fucking players, you loser
cityplANner - August 11, 2009
why don't they use instant replay for calls like they do in football?
OakA'sHoney - August 11, 2009
that was certainly an instant replay scenario
cuppingmaster - August 11, 2009
Not enough people bet money on baseball
Nick - August 11, 2009
Ah, there’s nothing like an NFL Sunday.
Rated-R Superstar - August 11, 2009
It's time to put some of these umps on medication
They have such a short fuse and often stir the pot when it’s unnecessary.
ohtobe21likehuston - August 11, 2009
Sooooo Garciaparra's on the team because.....?
OldhamA - August 11, 2009
someone needs to have more than 2 years
MLB experience.
BleedGreen - August 11, 2009
Kennedy. And he's useful.
Nomar is expendable.
OldhamA - August 11, 2009
it was the only
logical explanation.
Watch him go tot he Phillies and completely rip it up for the last two months.
BleedGreen - August 11, 2009
Unbe-fing-lievable
He was safe by a foot. I wonder how Geren is going to polish this apple.
BleedGreen - August 11, 2009
That was a pretty terrible call, but whaddya gunna do?
Nico - August 11, 2009
Riot.
OldhamA - August 11, 2009
Bad calls go both ways.
Tonight it didn’t go ours.
lynnzgal - August 11, 2009
that was pretty egregious though
usually bad calls are at least close
cuppingmaster - August 11, 2009
Barret is a
Baltomoron.
BleedGreen - August 11, 2009
We've had some egregious ones go our way.
lynnzgal - August 11, 2009
i guess
just not many change the complexion of the game. nomah could have GIDP, but i bet he would have ripped at the first pitch fastball with 1 out
cuppingmaster - August 11, 2009
Um...okay.
lynnzgal - August 11, 2009
That would have been quite impressive,
since Johnson threw him a breaking pitch.
Nico - August 11, 2009
i could have sworn that KK said it was a fastball
but gameday agrees with you, and then i retract the part about the first pitch fastball
cuppingmaster - August 11, 2009
Convene a townhall meeting
MobiusKlein - August 11, 2009
i'd be happy to shout down the umpires in that case
cuppingmaster - August 11, 2009
Form a task force!
Nico - August 11, 2009
i'll be sure to send out an email with specific instructions to keep the umpires on the defensive
cuppingmaster - August 11, 2009
loving the passion of you guys, I mean we are 13 games under 500 but you guys care about that call. WE ARE TRUE A's FANS.
green tusks - August 11, 2009
Well, of course.
I care about the games. I don’t care about the standings. No such thing as a “meaningless” game.
iglew - August 11, 2009
We are.
And that transcends everything.
lynnzgal - August 11, 2009
that ump is the home plate ump tomorrow per ray and glen
yikes
OakA'sHoney - August 11, 2009
that is why Geren intervened
ohtobe21likehuston - August 11, 2009
To offer him a coupon for For Eyes?
Nico - August 11, 2009
Four eyes?
ohtobe21likehuston - August 11, 2009
Not enough, apparently.
lynnzgal - August 11, 2009
Anyone else notice
the similarities of Bob Geren and the Pizza Whisperer?
BleedGreen - August 11, 2009
The good news
1) Cahill pitched his best game in a long, long time – against a good lineup in a bandbox park
2) It’s been a very long time since anyone here accused the A’s of being “lifeless”.

lynnzgal - August 11, 2009
It's always sunny in Philadelphia

ohtobe21likehuston - August 11, 2009
That's not always a good thing
Lately, “sunny in Philadelphia” = 95 degrees and humid.
Nick - August 11, 2009
Don't know why I thought of this.....

At least they did with Armageddon.

i’ll pop in here to get the updates when i can of course
OakA'sHoney - August 11, 2009
That is when the magic happens
when the folks are at work.
ohtobe21likehuston - August 11, 2009
well then i miss it
OakA'sHoney - August 11, 2009
can you stream the game at work?
cuppingmaster - August 11, 2009
no we can't stream, download, etc.
OakA'sHoney - August 11, 2009
boo
you work at a sucky office
cuppingmaster - August 11, 2009
i know, plus it's a dead zone for am reception
OakA'sHoney - August 11, 2009
iphone?
cuppingmaster - August 11, 2009
not yet
waiting for my cell contract to expire first
OakA'sHoney - August 11, 2009
Good Call.....
You’ll love it. Worth the wait.
BERRYJO - August 11, 2009
looking forward to it
everyone i know who has one loves it
OakA'sHoney - August 11, 2009
Overhyped POS.
mikev - August 11, 2009
you haven't seen the light, mikev
cuppingmaster - August 11, 2009
really sir?
OakA'sHoney - August 11, 2009
IMO? Yes.
But then, they’ve done a hell of a job marketing it and making people think they need to have it.
mikev - August 11, 2009
If you're an Apple person it's nicely integrated
with the computers. It’s easy to use an very intuitive.
BERRYJO - August 11, 2009
and best of all...it's one device
i love mine. can’t imagine life without it, actually.
cuppingmaster - August 11, 2009
and that is sad
but I completely understand :-)
ohtobe21likehuston - August 11, 2009
I'm converting, finally.
This weekend, or whenever I drag myself to an Apple store.
pam5981 - August 11, 2009
Oh so you are the
“anti-Palm” gal??
ohtobe21likehuston - August 11, 2009
Not at all.
I’m switching from my ancient Blackberry, actually.
pam5981 - August 11, 2009
you'll never regret it
cuppingmaster - August 11, 2009
Nooo. Don't give in!
iglew - August 11, 2009
What does it matter? I'm already hooked to m Blackberry.
pam5981 - August 11, 2009
Oh, OK. Nevermind then.
Blackberries grow like weeds up here. Big giant thorny weeds.
iglew - August 11, 2009
i am so that's why i gravitate towards it
OakA'sHoney - August 11, 2009
Okay. It's still nothing spectacular.
My WinMo phone integrates nicely with my laptop, too.
My wife’s Blackberry integrates nicely with her laptop.
mikev - August 11, 2009
Hey, she does the best she can, dude.
Nico - August 11, 2009
No doubt.
I will be completely unproductive tomorrow.
ZigFan31 - August 11, 2009
Bobby Crosby, is that you?
Nico - August 11, 2009
No, its Nomar.
ZigFan31 - August 11, 2009
i was thinking of working from home tomorrow
but i actually prefer not to , don’t like to mix work and home, plus i always end up working more when i’m home
OakA'sHoney - August 11, 2009
dooo it
i wish i could work from home
cuppingmaster - August 11, 2009
i didn't bring my laptop home
in retrospect i guess i should’ve oh well, you guys can keep me posted right?
OakA'sHoney - August 11, 2009
sure
leave your picture and we’ll post it at the top of the thread
cuppingmaster - August 11, 2009
you mean the ones i took in college?
i promised i wouldn’t…
OakA'sHoney - August 11, 2009
just email them to me
lol
cuppingmaster - August 11, 2009
I have them.
Rated-R Superstar - August 11, 2009
just don't post them okay?
OakA'sHoney - August 11, 2009
I won’t post them, but I have a price.
Rated-R Superstar - August 11, 2009
Hey!
There’s a thought!
lynnzgal - August 11, 2009
We can fix that.
mikev - August 11, 2009
Why wait until the middle of a cold, dark night?
iglew - August 11, 2009
Or me. No time for baseball tomorrow.
So you all must hold me in your hearts.
lynnzgal - August 11, 2009
I always do.
Rated-R Superstar - August 11, 2009
Darling.
lynnzgal - August 11, 2009
Me either :(
pam5981 - August 11, 2009
WHAT? NO PAMCAKES FOR BREAKFAST???
mikev - August 11, 2009
Then they must hold us both.
lynnzgal - August 11, 2009
I only have one heart!
Rated-R Superstar - August 11, 2009
I'm sure its big enough.
lynnzgal - August 11, 2009
It is, it is.
Rated-R Superstar - August 11, 2009
I only have 3/4 of a liver,
whass yer p-point?
Nico - August 11, 2009
or...
mikev - August 11, 2009
Not gonna bite, mikey.
lynnzgal - August 11, 2009
That’s some good comment discipline right there.
Rated-R Superstar - August 11, 2009
That's why he leads AN in walks.
Nico - August 11, 2009
I sure as heck don’t.
Rated-R Superstar - August 11, 2009
He?
lynnzgal - August 11, 2009
Yeah, pre-operation.
Nico - August 11, 2009
(When in doubt, just type the name out.)
Rated-R Superstar - August 11, 2009
A little biting is a good thing.
mikev - August 11, 2009
Yes.
Yes!
lynnzgal - August 11, 2009
We agree again!
ZigFan31 - August 11, 2009
And now we're done.
Because to take THAT any further would be way TMI. Or so I’m told.
lynnzgal - August 11, 2009
I disagree.
mikev - August 11, 2009
yes we need to control ourselves
OakA'sHoney - August 11, 2009
Boo
:(
mikev - August 11, 2009
we got a warning so, or at least i did
OakA'sHoney - August 11, 2009
E-mail?
Rated-R Superstar - August 11, 2009
yep
OakA'sHoney - August 11, 2009
Likewise.
Rated-R Superstar - August 11, 2009
I don't know what you guys are talking about.
< smiles demurely >
iglew - August 11, 2009
i feel bad
OakA'sHoney - August 11, 2009
LOLZ.
That’s hilarious.
Maybe I should go read back yesterdays game thread.
mikev - August 11, 2009
it was the recap thread
i guess it’s treated differently than the game thread, i didn’t realize that, plus we did get rambuncious and naughty, but i don’t want to offend people so i’ll be good
OakA'sHoney - August 11, 2009
Still hilarious.
The thin skin is funny.
mikev - August 11, 2009
mayne they should have naughty and nice threads
OakA'sHoney - August 11, 2009
I didn't have anything to do with sending any e-mails...
…but when it just goes on and on and on, I can see how it would annoy some people.
Flashfire - August 11, 2009
point taken
OakA'sHoney - August 11, 2009
Without the email.
lynnzgal - August 11, 2009
That’s easy for you to say.
Rated-R Superstar - August 11, 2009
I think I know what you’re referring to.
Rated-R Superstar - August 11, 2009
forget biting, just get that tongue ring
OakA'sHoney - August 11, 2009
aim lower
mikev - August 11, 2009
Day game!
ZigFan31 - August 11, 2009
Morning games suck.
Rated-R Superstar - August 11, 2009
Sounds like we got a raw deal from the umps this evening.
A's Fan in Virginia - August 11, 2009
Not really. One bad call that may or may not have mattered.
We got a rawer deal from three straight grounders/choppers that found holes and led to the two key runs off of Cahill.
Nico - August 11, 2009
Thanks, Nico. I didn’t see the game on TV this evening and was reading the posts about the bad call. BTW, my son’s nickname is Niko!
A's Fan in Virginia - August 11, 2009
Excellent choice of names!
The bad call was bad, but it only turned a possible “two on, one out” in the 9th into a “runner at 2nd, two out” situation.
Nico - August 11, 2009
Gotcha…..thanks for the update.
Yes, I like the sound of Niko…..just like one of the characters played by Steven Segal in his early movie career.
BTW, it’s good to be among A’s fans…..not many here on the East Coast.
A's Fan in Virginia - August 11, 2009
Anybody have the Palm Pre?
I can’t get an iphone because I’m on Sprint and think it’s the next best option.
ohtobe21likehuston - August 11, 2009
No, because I refuse to move off my SERO plan
But I have a Touch Pro and love it.
mikev - August 11, 2009
I'm on the same plan and it can't be matched
I can’t change anything because I no longer have a Sprint email address. I heard they offer it on the SERO plan as of yesterday.
ohtobe21likehuston - August 11, 2009
"EverythingPlus" is what they call the SERO plan now
ohtobe21likehuston - August 11, 2009
Yeah, and they're nowhere near as good as the old SERO 500 plan
mikev - August 11, 2009
No clue about the phone but the commercials are really creepy.
pam5981 - August 11, 2009
i like the one about the dunkin donuts in space
cuppingmaster - August 11, 2009
I'm attracted, no idea why.
lynnzgal - August 11, 2009
I haven't seen them yet.
ohtobe21likehuston - August 11, 2009
i haven't seen the others, apparently,
but this one is weird.
pam5981 - August 11, 2009
Hmm
Didn’t find it that strange but did find some others that were on the same page.
ohtobe21likehuston - August 11, 2009
I heard google's phone is also pretty cool.
My geeky nephew is going for one of those. On T-Mobile I think.
BERRYJO - August 11, 2009
RECAP IS UP

Flashfire - August 11, 2009
Oh, lord.
Buan talking about Jack Cust tonight. This is gonna be fun.
pam5981 - August 11, 2009
Almost makes me wish I got KTRB
Flashfire - August 11, 2009
I live smack-dab in the middle of Oakland
and I hardly get it.
pam5981 - August 11, 2009
I live in Modesto and it’s just about as clear as day.
Rated-R Superstar - August 11, 2009
I hardly ever listen to Buan.
Is he a Cust fan?
BERRYJO - August 11, 2009
Oh, it's not Buan I worry about.
The callers.
I’m actually not listening, I’ve moved on to Jeopardy.
pam5981 - August 11, 2009
My mom watches that show.
Rated-R Superstar - August 11, 2009
ugh how do we flag messages?
cuppingmaster - August 11, 2009
i was cracking up when i read that
OakA'sHoney - August 11, 2009
its on all the SB nation sites
ZigFan31 - August 11, 2009
j/k
cuppingmaster - August 11, 2009
er, that was supposed to say
“clearly that spam was meant for you”
cuppingmaster - August 11, 2009
Hit “actions” next to “up” and “reply” at the bottom.
Rated-R Superstar - August 11, 2009
thanks
cuppingmaster - August 11, 2009
I took care of it
