Now 6-2 Jays going to the 4th, as the A's try to come back. Worth noting: In the 1st, the Jays stranded a runner at second with nobody out, in the 2nd they stranded a runner at 3rd with nobody out, and in the 3rd they stranded a runner at third with one out.

That’s not a good start to the new thread.
Rated-R Superstar - August 2, 2009
ahem
ZigFan31 - August 2, 2009
Dang, I hope you didn’t get left behind.
Rated-R Superstar - August 2, 2009
I did. But I'm here now.
I’m about to start making cupcakes though.
ZigFan31 - August 2, 2009
you channeling gigs?
Leopold Bloom - August 2, 2009
I'm actually known for them down here.
ZigFan31 - August 2, 2009
In SoCal?
You’re the SoCal cupcake girl?
Leopold Bloom - August 2, 2009
Yep
ZigFan31 - August 2, 2009
so you have cupcake skills.
Leopold Bloom - August 2, 2009
can I have one?
gigglingone - August 2, 2009
Mazarro world.
Leopold Bloom - August 2, 2009
Of course. But I don't have cool writing gels.
ZigFan31 - August 2, 2009
oooooh, you need to get some of those....
gigglingone - August 2, 2009
It’s okay. You didn’t miss much.
Cupcakes? Oh, fun! Will you make me one?
Rated-R Superstar - August 2, 2009
Of course!
ZigFan31 - August 2, 2009
You’re awesome, sweetie.
Rated-R Superstar - August 2, 2009

Leopold Bloom - August 2, 2009

Oh Rickey, you’re so fine
doctorK - August 2, 2009
Whiffed.
Rated-R Superstar - August 2, 2009
Nice K Vin
pam5981 - August 2, 2009
Lobster sandwich, Glen and Ray?
Rated-R Superstar - August 2, 2009
Better than hearing them talk about Dibs, or HDTV
doctorK - August 2, 2009
Alright, no runs. Exxxxxceellent.
pam5981 - August 2, 2009
So that's 4 innings out of 4 that the Jays
have failed to score on a productive out.
MAKE DEM PAY!!!!
Nico - August 2, 2009
Dammit - I thought we were free of the whiny ski-cap guy
doctorK - August 2, 2009
[shakes head]
paradox - August 2, 2009
oh, there's the ski cap hater.
Leopold Bloom - August 2, 2009
I think that ski-cap guy is adorable.
pam5981 - August 2, 2009
What do you think of his girlfriend?
iglew - August 2, 2009
He certainly doesn't deserve her
doctorK - August 2, 2009
^^ thud! ^^
paradox - August 2, 2009
Dudes, I was asking Pam.
iglew - August 2, 2009
She's pretty!
pam5981 - August 2, 2009
he's a doofus
Nobody gets a girl like that with that hat, God it bugs me.
paradox - August 2, 2009
I have no opinion on the commercial
(I don’t think I’ve ever seen it), but I like how animated it makes you.
Leopold Bloom - August 2, 2009
heehee. me too.
pam5981 - August 2, 2009
Wow, I'm an idiot.
I didn’t realize you guys were talking about a commercial. I remember seeing discussions of the ski hat guy here on game threads, but I always thought it was someone in the stands behind home plate.
iglew - August 2, 2009
heh
paradox - August 2, 2009
So what's the ad? Maybe I can google it and see
what this guy looks like.
iglew - August 2, 2009
Some girls like doofuses.
pam5981 - August 2, 2009
[shakes head]
paradox - August 2, 2009
wait, is this the one where he shows back up
after being gone or whatever and the emo music’s playing?
Leopold Bloom - August 2, 2009
Yeah, and he's pix texting her from all over Europe.
It’s adorable.
pam5981 - August 2, 2009
I like that commercial.
67MARQUEZ - August 2, 2009
I also like that commercial.
Rated-R Superstar - August 2, 2009
This might shock you.
But you actually remind me a lot of me. When I was that age.
67MARQUEZ - August 2, 2009
I hope that’s a good thing.
Rated-R Superstar - August 2, 2009
IMO, it is.
67MARQUEZ - August 2, 2009
Awesome!
Rated-R Superstar - August 2, 2009
a Goddess should never swoon for doofus
In a ski cap, god, go enlist or get in the gym, go away, ugh.
paradox - August 2, 2009
oh, that commercial sucks on the level that it's like for AT&T
or some crap and it’s emotionally manipulative.
Leopold Bloom - August 2, 2009
I thought you were into "emotionally manipulative"?
pam5981 - August 2, 2009
okay, I'll not be reactive.
what do you mean, Pam?
Leopold Bloom - August 2, 2009
Just making a joke,
sorry.
pam5981 - August 2, 2009
yeah, that's pretty funny.
Leopold Bloom - August 2, 2009
It was more supposed to be a joke about women being emotionally manipulative
but didn’t work out right. My bad.
pam5981 - August 2, 2009
So where is OAH today, anyway?
iglew - August 2, 2009
I miss her.
Rated-R Superstar - August 2, 2009
you won't be "reactive?"
That’s some advanced psychology and maturity, Leo. Dern.
paradox - August 2, 2009
An emotionally manipulative TV ad??
Never!
My peeve is all those drug ads. “Do you have I’m-not-happy syndrome? Well, here’s a pill that treats it. (Side effects include nausea, headaches, organ failure, and sometimes death.)”
In other words the shit is bad for you, but you should take it anyway because
we want your moneyit feels good.Pharma is the new tobacco.

Wow, he singled into center.
Rated-R Superstar - August 2, 2009
i went out to pick up dog crap in my backyard
and i see i didn’t miss much.
and i don’t have a dog. just friendly neighborhood mutts.
Deborah51 - August 2, 2009
you're awfully calm about other dogs pooping on your lawn.
Leopold Bloom - August 2, 2009
As an A's fan, she's used to it.
iglew - August 2, 2009
they're hit and run dogs.
i never see them so i don’t know who they belong to.
Deborah51 - August 2, 2009
I think you left out an 's' there
doctorK - August 2, 2009
awesome
iglew - August 2, 2009
took me a second, but then i laughed.
67MARQUEZ - August 2, 2009
It's always better when you don't get it right away.
iglew - August 2, 2009
you're right about that.
I probably enjoyed it a little too much when the light went on.
67MARQUEZ - August 2, 2009
Can I bring my dog over?
doctorK - August 2, 2009
Gee.
Rated-R Superstar - August 2, 2009
I hate Rod Barajas

He almost has Rajai in his name.

ZOMG he ate Raj!
IowaA'sFan - August 2, 2009
There must be a lot of hated players at the moment (LOL)
they way our pitching is being SLAUGHTERED and I mean SLAUGHTERED

Well, at least my potato chips are tasty.
IowaA'sFan - August 2, 2009

Leopold Bloom - August 2, 2009
Kettle brand "lightly salted"
Not so light on teh salt.

67MARQUEZ - August 2, 2009

Rated-R Superstar - August 2, 2009

let’s just talk about what we’re eating.
IowaA'sFan - August 2, 2009

It was a late night

gigglingone - August 2, 2009
12:10 for me!
Leopold Bloom - August 2, 2009
7:40, and that's late for me.
67MARQUEZ - August 2, 2009
you should sleep late, man.
it’s much easier on your constitution.
Leopold Bloom - August 2, 2009
probably would have today
but had to run the kid somewhere. and since i was in my car, already, stopped by the office too.
after this game, nap.
67MARQUEZ - August 2, 2009
naps rock.
Leopold Bloom - August 2, 2009
they certainly do, they certainly do
67MARQUEZ - August 2, 2009
I’m drinking tea with my bagels.
Rated-R Superstar - August 2, 2009
Do you actually eat multiple bagels?
One is pretty filling. Or maybe you have mini bagels?
iglew - August 2, 2009
I’m eating multiple bagels.
Rated-R Superstar - August 2, 2009
Had those Wendy's Asian chicken thingys for lunch
They are actually pretty good.
doctorK - August 2, 2009
been thinking about trying those out
Lefty73 - August 2, 2009
they look like they couldn't figure out how to sell/market them.
Leopold Bloom - August 2, 2009
and thats what important
Lefty73 - August 2, 2009
Seems like forever since an A's hitter lofted a big fly

KK talking about Chris Carter
His numbers are great and the K’s are down.
Will we see him late 2010? or 2011 which might be more realistic
Trainman - August 2, 2009
I think we could see him in September of 2010.

Dude.
Thurmon Munson died thirty years ago. Wow.

Phil Rizzuto on Thurman Munson
There’s a little prayer I always say
Whenever I think of my family or when I’m flying,
When I’m afraid, and I am afraid of flying.
It’s just a little one. You can say it no matter what,
Whether you’re Catholic or Jewish or Protestant or whatever.
And I’ve probably said it a thousand times
Since I heard the news on Thurman Munson.
It’s not trying to be maudlin or anything.
His Eminence, Cardinal Cooke, is going to come out
And say a little prayer for Thurman Munson.
But this is just a little one I say time and time again,
It’s just: Angel of God, Thurman’s guardian dear,
To whom his love commits him here there or everywhere,
Ever this night and day be at his side,
To light and guard, to rule and guide.
For some reason it makes me feel like I’m talking to Thurman,
Or whoever’s name you put in there,
Whether it be my wife or any of my children, my parents or anything.
It’s just something to keep you really from going bananas.
Because if you let this,
If you keep thinking about what happened, and you can’t understand it,
That’s what really drives you to despair.
Faith. You gotta have faith.
You know, they say time heals all wounds,
And I don’t quite agree with that a hundred percent.
It gets you to cope with wounds.
You carry them the rest of your life.

I don’t hate the Phillies or Cardinals.
Rated-R Superstar - August 2, 2009
Yeah, I forgot about that league.
67MARQUEZ - August 2, 2009
Tigers are playing pretty shitty too right now
Lefty73 - August 2, 2009
If they make it, they will be tough to beat with Verlander, Jackson and Washburn in the rotation.
Rated-R Superstar - August 2, 2009
At the game today
Thus crap is horrible. Rajai looks good, though.

Did you know you can comment on Athletics Nation from your phone or PDA? SB Nation has launched mobile commenting. Check it out next time you're at the game or bar and thus crap is horrible.

Thus, crap is horrible.

Ken Ko has now spelled Rzepczynski wrong twice.
First time he left out the Z, second time he left out the Y.

I can spell Sarunas Jasikevicius and Zydrunas Ilgauskas.
Rated-R Superstar - August 2, 2009
Are those both Lithuanian?

I believe so.

They, and Letts, do it.

He is a failure.

And his OPS dropped bout 50 points. God can we ever get a good hitter?

It’s a small sample size and he’s coming off of an injury.
Rated-R Superstar - August 2, 2009

He’s still hitting .286 overall.

245 with us with a 70OPS. Joy.
Syphon - August 2, 2009
If they ever get a new ballpark

I am sure a lot of hitters don’t want to come here due to the shit hole of a ballpark we play in.

But you can group him with the Nix boys on the extraneous-Y list.

Well, unless you're Cockney.
iglew - August 2, 2009
But... that's the same way you did over-Bay.
IowaA'sFan - August 2, 2009
No, Overbay starts with a vowel.
So it’s Pig-Latin for “Bover”.

I think there's one in the Angels bullpen.

ZigFan31 - August 2, 2009
yeah.
Leopold Bloom - August 2, 2009
...
doctorK - August 2, 2009
I'm boooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeedd.
pam5981 - August 2, 2009
yup
67MARQUEZ - August 2, 2009
I think I just saw the ground crack in my backyard
doctorK - August 2, 2009
lucky
67MARQUEZ - August 2, 2009
Y'all should make cupcakes.
ZigFan31 - August 2, 2009
You should come over and teach me.
Rated-R Superstar - August 2, 2009
I'm not sure if that's ever been
a euphemism for sex, but it should be. Teaching me to make cupcakes.
Leopold Bloom - August 2, 2009
To be fair, I did not have sex on my mind.
Rated-R Superstar - August 2, 2009
un-possible
67MARQUEZ - August 2, 2009
See he's a nice boy now.
At least with me.
ZigFan31 - August 2, 2009
You’re nice to me.
Rated-R Superstar - August 2, 2009
and yet just a whiff of OAF
and he turns into a perv like the rest of us.
67MARQUEZ - August 2, 2009
or maybe OAH
67MARQUEZ - August 2, 2009
It’s just something about her, you know?
Rated-R Superstar - August 2, 2009
I know, lad.
67MARQUEZ - August 2, 2009
Hence the "at least with me" part.
ZigFan31 - August 2, 2009
I’m nice to girls in real life, too.
Well, actually, I don’t talk to a lot of girls. I’m really, really shy.
Rated-R Superstar - August 2, 2009
Give it time.
ZigFan31 - August 2, 2009
I’m going to be a senior in high school.
This will be my breakout year!
Rated-R Superstar - August 2, 2009
Nothing ventured - nothing gained.
Gotta be a little brave – and willing for set-backs. Take some gentle risks…..
BERRYJO - August 2, 2009
was it cupcakes?
Leopold Bloom - August 2, 2009
It was just ZigFan’s company.
Rated-R Superstar - August 2, 2009
you're 17,
not a shut-in.
Is she going to bring you some soup and news about the neighbors?!
Leopold Bloom - August 2, 2009
I hope it’s pizza instead.
Rated-R Superstar - August 2, 2009
Pizza and cupcakes
Health nut.
IowaA'sFan - August 2, 2009
My dad and grandfather on my dad’s side both have diabetes.
Rated-R Superstar - August 2, 2009
Take a good look boy, that's what you're in for
doctorK - August 2, 2009
strange how that works--all that ailed both of them, I get...
Leopold Bloom - August 2, 2009
I just wish I would've paid more attention to their complaining.
taken notes.
Leopold Bloom - August 2, 2009
I drink a ton — at least three cans day — of Pepsi as well.
Rated-R Superstar - August 2, 2009
Boo.
Rated-R Superstar - August 2, 2009
who
67MARQUEZ - August 2, 2009
Him.
Rated-R Superstar - August 2, 2009
Jim?
67MARQUEZ - August 2, 2009
Plunkett?
Rated-R Superstar - August 2, 2009
Nice. But I would never boo him.
67MARQUEZ - August 2, 2009
LOL
doctorK - August 2, 2009
yay GIDP
doctorK - August 2, 2009
We're going to the Series, boys!
Oh.
67MARQUEZ - August 2, 2009
Shit, take away that top of the first, and this baby's tied.
67MARQUEZ - August 2, 2009
Can we take away the 2nd through 8th too?
IowaA'sFan - August 2, 2009
What the hell - let's just start the game over
doctorK - August 2, 2009
No way
I want the last three hours of my life back.
IowaA'sFan - August 2, 2009
That’s what I’m talkin’ about!
Rated-R Superstar - August 2, 2009
Crosby just did what he does best.
Rated-R Superstar - August 2, 2009
FLAIL again
doctorK - August 2, 2009
I'm gonna pretend I didn't see it.
IowaA'sFan - August 2, 2009
You must suffer like the rest of us.
Rated-R Superstar - August 2, 2009
My eyes!
IowaA'sFan - August 2, 2009
did we win?
67MARQUEZ - August 2, 2009
sure we did, Don.
Sure we did.
Leopold Bloom - August 2, 2009
If this were golf - the A's certainly had fewer strokes
doctorK - August 2, 2009
this season is giving me one
67MARQUEZ - August 2, 2009
I may have had one or two in the top of the first inning
Nico - August 2, 2009
Just a petit mal here.
IowaA'sFan - August 2, 2009
Really? I could swear it was Pennington.
Nico - August 2, 2009
It was a kind of moral victory
Englishmajor - August 2, 2009
that was somewhat uninspiring
67MARQUEZ - August 2, 2009
Oh thank god
Now I can get on with my life.
Oh, wait. I don’t have a life.
IowaA'sFan - August 2, 2009
Thank merciful sweet god.
pam5981 - August 2, 2009
Gnats about to take 3 of 4 from Philly
doctorK - August 2, 2009
sigh
67MARQUEZ - August 2, 2009
well, at least Nico will be happy.
Leopold Bloom - August 2, 2009
Velez just recorded the final out.
Rated-R Superstar - August 2, 2009
On his VCR? Smart guy.
Nico - August 2, 2009
They will remain tied with the Rockies.
Rated-R Superstar - August 2, 2009
Hey we outscored them 2-1 in innings 2 through 3.
67MARQUEZ - August 2, 2009
Perhaps it's time
we rethought our strikeout-based offensive attack.
IowaA'sFan - August 2, 2009
Did we lose yet? I got bored and went away.
iglew - August 2, 2009
Yes.
Rated-R Superstar - August 2, 2009
thanks for the confirmation, just woke up
ak_A - August 2, 2009
GAME RECAP IS UP
We still lose.
