HOJO!

FLO-JO!

You can have them

knock-kneed bimbos walkin’ like hos!

WOJO

CUJO

You know, I was gonna post a picture of this, but all the ones I saw are pretty freaky and disturbing, so I thought better of it.

Dude

Wojohowitz reference is ultimate win

Wow, that’s great.

Eeew, nasty.

It may be the color of green-and-gold melted together, but it’s still a rally monkey.

i think it's the sharp teeth and purple eyes. bad combination.

This isn’t nasty.

My favorite is Bubbles. That’s the blue one.

Um, yeah it is.

Freaky giant insect eyes.

And P.S.

Damn you for no subject line so I can’t make it go away. That’s two strikes tonight.

I hope I don’t go down swinging.

I girl I used to date loves these

(she was 24 at the time, I wasn’t dating a child)

we no longer talk

That's scary.

Those are power puffs, right?

Yeah, and curiously, she had large eyes, dark hair and wore green a lot

enough said

Large eyes is good.

Just not THAT large.

Well, they were that large when she wa

nevermind

new rally thread!
New threads in new tab makes me a happy PhD
I aim to please :-)
Pool bathroom sign

We aim to please. Please aim.

please aim your pees?
use your pp radar
LMSK successfully bathed?
Yeah

I am being a single dad tonight since Mrs doctorK went to a school reunion, which I am skipping in favor of AN Day – I’ve got my priorities straight.

You're a good dad!
in play ( no outs)
see, the new thread is working already
Go pack!

Green Bay Packers?

Haha!

No. It was a directive for bbg to pack her bags.

Ah, I see.

but don't you pack anything rated r!

we know the crowd that you roll with.

C'mon, Dale!
who's hungry
I am.
dinner was crackers and cajun crab spread from albertons
I didn't eat dinner tonight because I STILL HAVEN'T BEEN PAID

it’s going to be a hungry couple of days

I don't think I want to work where you work

if they aren’t paying you

Yeah, I'm owed a fair chunk of money

When I do get paid, I’m eating liquid gold.

or whatever the vegetol equivalent of that is. Imported Asparagus, perhaps

if you here, help your self to the fridge
I'm sorry,

but you’ve got to finish putting the signs together before I pay you.

And find that banana suit.
seriously.

no paycheck til that’s found.

Come to tomorrow's tailgate, we'll hook you up!
well, yes. But, no money for Bart.

I literally have $2 to my name

We have an extra ticket...how much is Bart?
If you can get to the tailgate, I'll make sure you have Bart $$ home
Thanks for the offer, but really, I cannot make it

I have to help out at the San Francisco Street Food Fair

(this means free food)

Well, good...we want to make sure you get fed

Email me if you need anything else; we can make sure you get some food.

muy obligado

I’m not entirely without food here – I have some popcorn in the cupboard and some beer in the fridge

so it’s not totally disastrous.

That sounds like a happy hour menu!!

all you need is peanuts for a little protein!

peanuts are the devil's work

legumes that pretend they are nuts???

this is a sin against god and against man

I don't agree with you,

but I love the passion.

There are two independent film makers that are going cross-country

without a dime to their name. They are going to try and make it and I can’t figure out how that will happen. Hope things get better for you very soon.

They might want to watch

this.

I like that show

but I love Eastbound and Down

Are you coming to AN Day?

I heard there will be some food there…..

what are you cooking?

By the way, I have that one guy’s number if you want it.

ok let's have it

Give me your e-mail address and I will send it to you.

if it's a 209 area code forget it

Hey, that’s where he lives. Why do you think we were hanging out?

< nods with sage satisfaction >
Nothing, because I'm upstairs listening to the game

and typing on the game thread.

I’m not good at double-tasking.

yes, please.
working hard, baby?
NO!

I’m game threading and listening to old men with British accents talking about some bloke who went crazy 40 years ago.

and lived w/ his mom...
wait, I watch ALL KINDS OF bRAVO TELEVISION WITH MY MOM.

does that mean I’ll go mad?

I think that means you already are...
Haha!

prescience.

I saw part of a Fleetwood Mac thing on Youtube once

in which John McVie said he was still afraid of Peter Green.

dude,

EVERYONE was afraid of Peter Green. Dude was a beast.

That band sure had some weird experiences with their lead guitarists
Didn't they all marry each other?
yes, and then they all slept with each other.

makes for some awkward rehearsals.

Except for the one who left them while they were on tour

and went to go sleep with a bunch of children.

whew.

there’s that too.

I guess that explains

you can go your own way

You Make Loving Fun

is a song Christine McVie wrote about the guy (sound tech, I think) she was having an affair with — her husband, John McVie, played bass on the song.

Apparently,

Stevie and Lindsey still have kind of a thing.

keeping it in the family
what band is this?
Fleetwood Mac
Fleetwood Mac

Garlic fries?

Does that keep the vampires away?

It'll keep your date away later
so you share your fries!
depends on the girl
I mean, seriously, who the hell is the backup infielder on this team?
tommy, a shot over the fence will tie the game
Oh, cmon A's fans, don't boo Tommy
yah gotta swing tommy - adjust
WTF!?!?!?!?

How the HELL is THAT a strike, yet Gio’s wasn’t!?!?!?!?

Exactly what I was going to say
So you guys heard me scream that from Berkeley, then?
I heard Jimi from Berkeley today
That was an U-G-L-Y at-bat
cliff and curve balls aren't exactly a good combination
RUNZ not strikouts...

Keep us alive in the inning, Rajai.

RAJAI RALLY NOW!

But save some mojo for tomorrow.

Mojo doesn't store up.

Use it or lose it.

As evidenced by the A's in 2009...
leyland reminds me of a gnome

Plus he smokes in between innings.

Everidge got robbed, IMO

Grrrr…

Why the Eff isn't Geren going out and challenging any of those close calls? He didn't lift his fat butt off of the bench for that close one at first earlier.

Yup.

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 have something to say.
Rally Milkshakes!

Just finished mine. I highly recommend Fererro Roche and Reese’s Pieces, whether you take it with lactose or without.

Lynn...

…you did see paradox’s post? We are going to be okay with grills?

If they recast Jaws he's the guy
that's gross
and no subject line, either. Grrrr.
I think we still have at least two.

Someone with a truck can always meet me at the studio and pick up ours if they aren’t enough.

I can bring a Weber if needed
Best. Grills. Ever.
I can cook on anything.

Superwoman!

I cooked a surf and turf on a camp fire one time.

My niece said it was the best meal she ever ett.

I am pissed that I spent $399 on my stainless grill

when I could have waited a little longer for a much better Weber.

Not a bad idea, doc.
All right, I'll bring it along with charcoal, etc

I guess I know what I’ll be doing tomorrow morning, cleaning that thing up.

Bomb shelter!
late the game how we doing y'all

We just scored our second run of the game.

Ola
Ray?
Jonny?
or Johnny that played for the Pirates
I was thinking Jonny Ola from Godfather 2
Gio pitched well, nine K's

but other guy pitched well, too. It’s a close one.

i'm hoping I brought some good mojo
We do too!!!
did cust miss 3rd base?
guess not. must be my old eyes.
don't tell anybody
boy, it sure looked to me like he stepped inside the base and didn't touch it
As long as the umps missed it

it counts I guess

Not that its a a great idea but I just realized we have no one to pinch run...
in play (runs)!!!
oh yea!!! Raj
Channeling Englishmajor

Kurt Kiyoshi Suzuki, you go up there and get a hit, young man

I just now woke up!
Too bad

It works a lot better when you say it

Lining up for tease.
please get a hit here

Knock ’em in, Kurt.

rajai has really been a highlight this year

if he can keep his OBP around .350, he will be a very good player for us

Another Brian Sabean mistake. Not giving Rajai a chance with the Giants.

Live look in for gameday.
Just tease, Baby
nothing but a tease

It reminds me of somebody.

Frustrating, but Gallego made the right call holding Kennedy

Any carom or bobble, he sends him, but no chance.

I actually disagree only because we are in last place

The Angels make a lot of crazy baserunning gaffes but I think it’s exciting.

I am so sick of the mlb.tv ads....

Geiko
Ump school
mlb store

STFU!!!!

It's just as bad on radio

MGD and Round Table

ahh yes, remember marcus and whats his name ....circa 05? or 06?
I like those two.

There are others I hate, like the stupid Corona ones.

Oh wait, I was thinking Round Table was the ocarina, but that's Pepsi.

What’s Round Table?

As we are of the TV ads!!
for those watching

how did gio pitch? his line isn’t bad, but he had 4 BBs. was he erratic with his control, getting squeezed, or just a little off?

At least the slegnA are getting shutout
haha he got greedy
Gunned his ass down
got a break there for being greedy
this Ports game does lookas if it's being beamed from Eastern Europe

and the 1970s

Raj showing off the gunz
Rajai is a magical creature!
Yes but what kind of chimera?
Well he can't be a unicorn

so what should he be?

He’s the iron chef, of course.

But Zooks the Iron Man,

That’d get dicey.

How the heck did you get that so fast?
lol where's this from?

It was posted earlier today, I believe.

Plagiarism?

I’m just posting a picture here.

Wow, I guess it's true that fanshots get overlooked

at least on AN

That guy's my buddy!

A’s fan by Design is an awesome guy.

He does great work

I rec’d a few of his recent designs

I love his contributions and hope he keeps ’em coming

Thanks!

I’ll keep ’em coming for sure!

My buddies and I are on an email chain… We come up with nicknames, I just bring ’em to life with the help of my good friend Photoshop.

Go A’s!!!!!

feelin that pic right there
RIGHT ON!!!

What kind of argument can he make????

Bad call....but I'll take it!

Curtis Granderson’s parents were schoolteachers.

Chanterelles are delicious sauteed in butter, finished with a little cream
lots of garlic and parsley
And a little thyme.
I think it's parsley or thyme

but they’re both tastytime

mmmm, you could add some madeira maybe, or garlic
madeira?
it's a wine
it's a sherry, I believe...or Jerez in Spain
it's good in gravy too
Think it's from Portugal

but yeah, it’s fortified like Sherry (or indeed, Port)

An island in the Atlantic,

Portuguese territory.

It's so very much nicer than beer.
I do like a drop

but I’m not sure I’d want to drink it at a baseball game, frinstance.

Some Port, on the other hand, would be just perfect

I'm quoting a Flanders & Swann lyric.

I mention it only so I can expand your vocabulary by pointing out that said lyric is masterpiece of zeugmata.

you must be yolking
Ooh, that took me more than a minute to get.

I was thrown off by the devious L.

oh shit, foiled by my own smartypantness

still, shows I didn’t look it up, huh

Yes, it does. YSWIDT.
YSWIDT?
2nd person of ISWYDT
right, I see
ISWTDT

2nd person singular.

what thou didst there?
Flanders and Swann are utterly absurd

You’d think that they’re parodying themselves, but I think they weren’t.

wait, why is the plural of zeugma zeugmata

or am I misunderstanding?

standard Greek pattern, preserved in some English words.

Notably stigmata. But in Greek it’s enigmata, dogmata, etc.

You sometimes see melismata in academic music writing.

Interesting, I've only ever known that literary construct as zeugma
One doesn't often have an opportunity to use the plural.
ok, I still don't understand this

wouldn’t the plural be zeugmai?

It’s been about ten years since I learned any Greek (though, oddly, I was trying to explain how the spanish use of ojala + subj would have been an optative mood construct in class the other day)

I don't know Greek forms at all,

I just know that’s how it is.

hum, interesting

this is a conumdrum. help us out, oh great internets!

Another characteristic of those words

is that their Spanish and Italian forms are masculine nouns in spite of ending in “a”.

Have some madeira, m'dear?
speaking of cooking, have you seen "Julie and Julia". I loved it

Meryl Streep was amazing

Haven't seen it
she was sooo good!
was Amy Adams cute in the movie?
{drools}
my thoughts exactly

I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be drooling for the culinary creations in the movie?

er, that was suppose to be an !
very cute...and adorably quirky
yes she's cute

but the julia child part is the better part of the film, i loved her relationship with her husband

I so want to see it.

All of a sudden there are a ton of movies I want to see.

Excellent movie

Streep should get an Oscar

she's an amazing actress
She's like the Michael Jordan of actresses
One of the best ever
Well you know she'll be nominated

because she is almost every year.

It's not so Emma and Julia, eh?
Streep and I have something in common

We both graduated from the same high school.

I love that movie about the flower

She was great in that one.

speaking of cooking....

….has anyone mentioned Rick Bayless’s big win the other night in Top Chef Masters?

Okie made good! (And seemingly a very decent guy, unlike his brother)

i'd like to go to frontera
Its awesome!

Have the short ribs. ;-)

Me too!

Gotta make it to Chicago a little more frequently in general.

In German they're known as Pfifferlinge...

…and are readily available at supermarkets, especially in the fall.

Stop you're killing me

it’s too late to eat where I am so please don’t torture me

I'm dying here too

and have to run in about 6 hours.

I haven't ran in about 20 years

I’m a golfer and treadmill guy

Wow both of them

he couldn’t get away with much

Fab-Rajai/Markellis pick off!

Woohoo!

I thought Granderson was an everyday player for them?

I guess he’s just taking a day off.

Well, he was.

umm, ziglar c'mon
is that wolfie in the bullpen?
over the head!
aww shit a flash of the leather

Clete Thomas hits better against left-handed pitching, though.

Moneypenny does like to show off the arm
I got here just in time!
Nick,

how do you feel about early Pink Floyd?

Not real familiar with it

I haven’t listened to tons of English psychedelia (e.g., early PF, Soft Machine).

I wonder how it compares to the kinks during that time.
I hear that Pink Floyd started out as an R&B band

is that correct?

no, not correct
hmmm.

well, kind of. According ot this documentary. They all listened to old blues, at least.

Only Kinks stuff that sounds psychedelic to me

is a couple of songs on Something Else, maybe one song on The Village Green Preservation Society, and a couple of random B-sides and unreleased tracks (e.g., Lavender Hill). They did use a fair amount of harpischord, FWIW (usually played by Nicky Hopkins, about whom Ray wrote a song).

always a river cat, but presently a hitting fool for the rockies

Who is Carlos Gonzalez?

Am I right?

yes, and my wardrobe is by Mr. Guy.
W A Y O U T W E S T!!!
way out west
damnit, it's stuck in my head now
it is still nice outside
Yup.
It might rain tomorrow.

Crazy?

For real?!
That's what they're sayin'.
"Isolated thunderstorms"?

In August? Freaky.

'Millenial weather'.
I guess

Between the tornado that took out the back wall of the historic head shop in south Minneapolis and the one in downtown Toronto, it’s been a freaky few days.

10-20% chance @ weather.com

But meteorology is like witchcraft.

20% chance of thunderstorms

Translation – it won’t happen, but we are including the chance in case it does, so our asses are covered.

I have umbrellas.
Those fingers in my hair,

That sly, come-hither stare.

that's what i heard

and ill be at an outdoor wedding

I would keep you dry.

They say that rain at a wedding is good luck

but I think they say that about just about everything at a wedding.

“Don’t worry, it’s good luck for the bride to be drunk!”

“It’s fine — did you know it’s good luck for one guest to stab another one with a fork?”

Wow, that stuff didn’t even happen on Roseanne.

i went for a run around 5. it was hot.
Hairston will save us
prolly not
hey

at least he got some solid contact

maybe next time
ok handsome, get a hit please

I did.

See - We knew you were sparking up with your buddies

It wasn’t that kind of a hit!

might as well have been

Hey, what are you saying?

Uh huh. Tell it to the judge.

I didn’t even touch it!

contact high?

He just showed me the weed in a container.

Next time, get out of the car ASAP

It was a two-door and I was in the back.

I wonder what Manson's followers said
something VERY similar, I'm sure.
The devil made me do it defense

Can I go now?

were you hanging out with Wayne Brady??

Negative.

I was thinking of the bit from Chappelle's Show

and Wayne Brady saying to you, “Rated-R, if you don’t smoke this, then we have a serious problem!”

Hey OAH, is this you with the treat?

feeding a raccoon?
I don't think you read the Tonto thread
wow never knew 'coons had such long fingers

Well, Sweeney is a tall guy.

he's a tall drink of water
you know I noticed that as well

Of course I don’t think I’ve ever seen a raccoon up close.

they're fuzzy.

long nails.

broken bat...fizzzle
A wicked boun-sah
Mr Pibb and red vines = crazy delicious
are you using the red vines as a straw?
you would think we're Aaron Burr

by the way we’re droppin Hamiltons

I'm with you on the red vines
Are you saying that you want some of those cupcakes?
Snack attack, Muthaf**ker!
andy samberg is cute
You better be workin'!
I'm visiting weird websites that FF keeps bringing me back to...
Haha!

(vows to do lots of yoga)

someone should tell them it's the 8th inning

tick-tock, guys

Davis can still save us in the ninth inning.

He's not due up until 5th in the inning,

so he needs some help. Oh God, we’re gonna see Nomar. And if they want to hit for Pennington, who exactly plays SS?

Ellis and Kennedy will flip a coin.

I hope this happens

as I want to see the plan in action

thank god for this thread

so much better than the game right now

It usually is.

pretty low bar, tho'
i always enjoy the tread
even when i don't know what the hell y'all are talkin about..lol

Hey, that happens to everyone.

Right?

Its a learning experience.

Hey!
the truth hurts sometimes, lynnz
Hey, I like this game.

It’s a fun one.

It’s fun even though I was flagged.

Man, if our gamethread record were as bad as the A's' W-L

we’d be an ESPN board.

Leopold

Have you checked out that weird box to the right of the typewriter on the BioShock 2 site?

Hint: cover it with a piece of clear plastic and mark down the spots that light up as you click them.

wait a minute...

it’s impossible to memorize them!

ACK!

Yeah, I got up to 12 before I put a piece of plastic wrap over the screen and noted each spot with a marker
i just noticed the field almost looks back to normal

We’re playing at San Francisco on Saturday.

Cable vs Singletary

The Brawl in the Bay

“Singletary don’t want it!”

I don't know

Cable likes to hit from behind and I don’t think Singletary will give him the chance

Singletary will stomp a mud hole in Cable's chest and walk it dry

and Cable knows this

No contest

Singletary is a tough man. Cable is just a punk-ass bully.

Maybe if Cable waits until Singletary pulls down his pants

he can go for the low blow

wow
best not to respond to that one at all
Don't you guys remember that Singletary pulled down his pants

during the first game he coached with the Niners?

I ain't to cause no trouble.

I just came to do the Superbowl Shuffle.

I like

We wear the silver we wear the black better

They throw it long and watch me run

I’m on my man. 1-on-1.

I miss #34

Mr. Sweetness on of the best RB ever to run the rock

Barry Sanders approves
Payton was great

I agree with you Lefty there was no one better

The video....

in all its glory.

my buddy and I used to play it everytime we went to Godfather's Pizza.
i know i got to hear all about it this week at work
If I send you my cell, will you text me what's happening?

I would love to, but I am going to my friend’s house to watch the A’s game. I will be taping the preseason game.

So, no cell then?

No, I’m sorry.

Waah!

I feel bad because normally I would!

Its okay sweetie.

Thanks for the thought.

Are you a Puma or a Cougar?
When it comes to RRS,

I’m a mommy.

Aw, you’re so sweet.

is there any worse FAIL than a bunt pop out?

You could strike out bunting.

How about the last time we saw Giambi
has everyone seen district 9 already?

great movie , best sci fi movie since back to the future part II IMO

http://www.watch-movies-links.net/movies/district_9/

I'm going next week, I think

incidentally, BTFII = amazing

i thought i was the only one who truly enjoyed BTHII
It has hovering skateboards! that's better than normal skateboards! they hover!
where can I get one?

I’ve been looking since I was 5 years old

you'll have to wait until the future
er BTFII

man it’s like I’m drunk without drinking

OK Mr Wuertz

Unless they decide to bunt the ball in the air, you need to get outs not allow walk after walk after walk after walk

Hey Weurtz

Just because we’re not paying attention to you doesn’t mean you don’t have to throw strikes

you mean that's all we have to do?
Throw stricks please
sweeney, ryan sweeney

nice

There you go, OAH
Very lucky there

Now to win this thing

Holy cow, Swooney!
Raccoon make nice catch
They *do* have long, dextrous fingers, you know
war racoon war sweeney!!!!
i'm going to have to figure outthis raccoon stuff
Sweet, raccoon!

Dang, even the baby ones are ugly.

(Stipulated: Baby opossums are undoubtedly uglier, no need to prove it.)

you, sir, have no couth!

(slaps iglew with glove)

< draws rapier >

(after adjusting dashing wig)

http://www.fupenguin.com/2008/12/resorting-to-props-is-fucking-pathetic.html
Jack Cust

Could have made that play!, well Maybe!

hell yea

a dp just what we wanted yessir

nice catch, ryan.
Sweeney just seems to read the ball better off the bat from RF.

Nice play.

Raccoon vision!
So, just Powell and Nomar on the bench right now...
yeah, just our everyday pinch-running corp...
How fast is Breslow?
not sure, but I'm convinced he's probably the best runner on the bench!
Oh, come on! That pitch was 6 inches outside and almost bounced!
all right!!!!!!!!!

LETS GO OAKLAND

Be clutch Tommy!
Cust is having a nice night

From sirbed – VP of the Cust is a bust fanclub

yes he is. about time too.
Tommy Time bunting Jack Cust

high comedy

Hey, it worked.

giving up outs in the 9th!

yay!

It worked somehow
Bunting

I guess they realized the DP the other night was not a very good result.

wow A's playing some small ball
Everidge playing small ball.

Heh.

Good call Nico

Here comes Reverse Ramon

c'mon guys. we can get 2 measly runs.
Give us a walk-off, Norma
does nomah have ocd?
So what happens if this goes to the 10th?

Nomar plays 3rd and Kennedy moves over to short?

Or do we try Nomar at short?

I think the plan is to hope for two runs.

And if there is a 10th then hope for no groundballs to the left side of the infield.

I'd settle for a win, of course, but

I really want to see a tied score, because I want to know who plays SS in the 10th.

F.....U.....C.....

Damn what a play.

damn good one
wow, he smoked that one
Who- Rated R?
She said smoked, not toked
ah, high school...
he'll protest his innocence, but we know he did

I did not do such a thing!

whatever, pothead.

I am truly hurt.

We tease because we love, you know.
The A's love their fans, too.
LOL, we should tell his mother

I didn’t do anything!

you're a good kid, RRS :)
a good sport, to say the least

Thanks, guys.

♥ from everyone

Your hearts mean the most to me.

We should tell her that he smokes pot because he isn't allowed

out of the house. And if only they’d let him go to an A’s game tomorrow he wouldn’t act out like that.

A-OK

All On Kennedy.

I hate at-'em balls
Come on AK

Pew pew?

Well hit ball

not a well result

Come on AK

i hate polanco
I hate brussel sprouts
I hate myself

wait, did I say that out loud?

Well, you do go to USC
you did and we all agree
I like him.

I’m gonna be his official sign maker.

i love brussel sprouts, in fact
Especially when you separate the leaves,

then saute them in bacon fat.

you could fry dirt in bacon fat and it would taste good
why do we keep pinch hitting Nomar?

Just because it’s the only thing he’s physically capable of doing doing mean we should let him do it

I think it's orders from Billy to make him feel useful.
i can't fault nomar for that out

polanco made a great play

Rajai's on deck...
ak hit puhleeeeze
with sugar on top
The sackman's coming, you're gonna get bent.
That sounds bad.
funny to watch the Classic game from 96

played last night. Nomar in his first game and G in his first full season. How far the mighty have fallen.

well

13 years is a long time. that both were in the league to start this season is kind of impressive, actually.

ok, what?

why do you bring in Everidge for Barton… and then ask him to bunt??

Everidge came in for the previous AB
someone has clearly not been paying full attention to the game

ahem

Everidge was brought in earlier to hit against the left-handed pitcher.

This is a great game.

I love endings like this.

Dang.

Oh well, it was fun.

you love strickouts?
I love at-bats where any pitch

could end the game with a win or with a loss, and then the at-bat drags on for what seems like forever.

That’s good stuff.

I'm just razin' ya, Iglew
Comcast gun 100 (my ass)

Quit cranking that thing 3 or 4 miles an our too fast

does it matter?

It is GAS

c'mon AK!

let’s get some pew pew pew going!

Don't pull it quite so much, AK.
We are the Bears, shufflin' through....

damn, this is a long ass song. i don’t remember it being this long.

Yup....it goes on and on and on....

It’s also very, er, ol’ skool.

And football talent does not correlate with rapping talent.

especially the white guys.
How dare you Bloom!

Saying white dudes can’t rap, next you’ll say they can’t dance.

well, I'm not sure if white guys can't rap,

but none of the white guys that played for the ’85 Bears that they allowed to rap could rap.

They sure could play football though

That Bears team was great for one season.

Incredible.
I was in Chi in '06 during the playoffs.

It was cold, brrrr. But very fun!

That was a heater

whooo boy

fffffffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuu
Great tease everyone, see some of you tomorrow!
Man these close games are painful to lose

It feels like we are in last place or something.

Totally, at least we own the Ang- oh crap its 2009...
At least they only matter on a day to day basis....

Tomorrow this loss will be pretty meaningless.

This is not turning out to be a good home stand
Bad - Watching the A's lose

Worse – going to ESPN and seeing a Favre-gasm

The game thread was entertaining.

BRETT FAVRE PICKED HIS NOSE

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

That’s one great booger.

I hope you had adequate protection

lest you catch something from it

i wish he would just retire

and mean it

Well that was an interesting game.

Good performance from Gio sans the walks, suckitude from the offence.

See a couple of you tomorrow!

OMG MEAN GIRLS IS ON
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

that is all

I'm not sure what that sound means

but either way, this film is amazing

I find it hilarious!
Who saw the season premiere of Project Runway?

The guest judge was….Lindsay Lohan. And all the designers were excited!

Maybe they were excited that she actually managed to show up.

i did, i love that show
Could you believe it when she told the eventual loser to take it easy with the whackiness?

That’s a really bad sign when LiLo is giving you that advice.

i know, isn't she like coked out of her head

i’d rather see sarah jessica parker again or a decent actress with taste

Next week: Amy Winehouse!
well, she is awesome in three films

sarah whatserface, less so

That was a couple of kilos of blow ago, I'm afraid
sex and the city series

I’ve seen a few episodes.

To be fair,

(and I loved that whacko girl) I would have given her that advice.

I LOVED the weirdo, too!
I feel like we missed out there.
Having Everidge bunt = dumb

Very reactive managing by Geren, just because Everidge hit into the DP the other night. Geren got it right that time, wrong this time, IMO.

what else is

new?

very much in agreement, but for different reasons

No matter what happened earlier, Cust will have trouble scoring from second.

Hey, I'll give him credit -- he did the right thing vs. NYY

But geez, go for the walk-off HR while you have the chance, or a single to right 1st & 3rd. Don’t make 1/3 of the outs you have left, on purpose, all so you can count on Nomar and Kennedy.

Chances of Everidge doing something positive against Rodney

are very low.

I could see a single along the right field line, first and third.

I could also see Powell pinch-hitting. Or, you know, Barton still being in to take that AB.

Yeah, I would have left Barton in against the LH earlier on

Barton is one of the positives from this game, IMHO.

I thought it was a bit early to make the L/L move

even if you thought you should yank Barton against a LHP, which I don’t.

especially as you then pinch hit Nomar

brain, a bit confused by this one

Time to rummage in the kitchen and find something to cook.

later

later

p.s. – no good abbreviated nicknames on this team. we already figured out clete and it isn’t interesting

If you find a raccoon, just scroll through the game thread for the recipe
i hope it's something very yummy
Awww..

Talking about Duke.

May you climb out of the darkness, dear one.
