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.
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.
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)
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).
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.
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.

Rated-R Superstar - August 21, 2009
Eeew, nasty.
It may be the color of green-and-gold melted together, but it’s still a rally monkey.
iglew - August 21, 2009
i think it's the sharp teeth and purple eyes. bad combination.
Deborah51 - August 21, 2009
This isn’t nasty.
My favorite is Bubbles. That’s the blue one.
Rated-R Superstar - August 21, 2009
Um, yeah it is.
Freaky giant insect eyes.

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

Rated-R Superstar - August 21, 2009
Haha!
No. It was a directive for bbg to pack her bags.
lynnzgal - August 21, 2009
Ah, I see.
Rated-R Superstar - August 21, 2009
but don't you pack anything rated r!

ak_A - August 21, 2009

sirbed - August 21, 2009
I didn't eat dinner tonight because I STILL HAVEN'T BEEN PAID
it’s going to be a hungry couple of days
bobnothing - August 21, 2009
I don't think I want to work where you work
if they aren’t paying you
sirbed - August 21, 2009
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
bobnothing - August 21, 2009
if you here, help your self to the fridge
ak_A - August 21, 2009
I'm sorry,
but you’ve got to finish putting the signs together before I pay you.
Leopold Bloom - August 21, 2009
And find that banana suit.
lynnzgal - August 21, 2009
seriously.
no paycheck til that’s found.
Leopold Bloom - August 21, 2009
Come to tomorrow's tailgate, we'll hook you up!
baseballgirl - August 21, 2009
well, yes. But, no money for Bart.
I literally have $2 to my name
bobnothing - August 21, 2009
We have an extra ticket...how much is Bart?
baseballgirl - August 21, 2009
If you can get to the tailgate, I'll make sure you have Bart $$ home
baseballgirl - August 21, 2009
Absolutely.
lynnzgal - August 21, 2009
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)
bobnothing - August 21, 2009
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.
baseballgirl - August 21, 2009
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.
bobnothing - August 21, 2009
That sounds like a happy hour menu!!
all you need is peanuts for a little protein!
BERRYJO - August 21, 2009
peanuts are the devil's work
legumes that pretend they are nuts???
this is a sin against god and against man
bobnothing - August 21, 2009
I don't agree with you,
but I love the passion.
Leopold Bloom - August 21, 2009
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.

Hey, that’s where he lives. Why do you think we were hanging out?
Rated-R Superstar - August 21, 2009
< nods with sage satisfaction >
iglew - August 21, 2009
Nothing, because I'm upstairs listening to the game
and typing on the game thread.
I’m not good at double-tasking.
iglew - August 21, 2009
yes, please.
Leopold Bloom - August 21, 2009
working hard, baby?
lynnzgal - August 21, 2009
NO!
I’m game threading and listening to old men with British accents talking about some bloke who went crazy 40 years ago.
Leopold Bloom - August 21, 2009
and lived w/ his mom...
brian.only - August 21, 2009
wait, I watch ALL KINDS OF bRAVO TELEVISION WITH MY MOM.
does that mean I’ll go mad?
Leopold Bloom - August 21, 2009
I think that means you already are...
Philip Christy - August 21, 2009

lynnzgal - August 21, 2009
I saw part of a Fleetwood Mac thing on Youtube once
in which John McVie said he was still afraid of Peter Green.
Nick - August 21, 2009
dude,
EVERYONE was afraid of Peter Green. Dude was a beast.
Leopold Bloom - August 21, 2009
That band sure had some weird experiences with their lead guitarists
Nick - August 21, 2009
strange band.
Leopold Bloom - August 21, 2009
Didn't they all marry each other?
sirbed - August 21, 2009
yes, and then they all slept with each other.
makes for some awkward rehearsals.
Leopold Bloom - August 21, 2009
Except for the one who left them while they were on tour
and went to go sleep with a bunch of children.
Nick - August 21, 2009
whew.
there’s that too.
Leopold Bloom - August 21, 2009
I guess that explains
you can go your own way
sirbed - August 21, 2009

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.

BERRYJO - August 21, 2009
Garlic fries?
49er16 - August 21, 2009
Does that keep the vampires away?
Rated-R Superstar - August 21, 2009
It'll keep your date away later
sirbed - August 21, 2009
so you share your fries!
Leopold Bloom - August 21, 2009

sirbed - August 21, 2009
I mean, seriously, who the hell is the backup infielder on this team?

But save some mojo for tomorrow.

Deborah51 - August 21, 2009
Plus he smokes in between innings.
49er16 - August 21, 2009
Everidge got robbed, IMO
Grrrr…
Nico - August 21, 2009
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.

It wasn’t me this time!
Rated-R Superstar - August 21, 2009

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.
lynnzgal - August 21, 2009
I can bring a Weber if needed
doctorK - August 21, 2009
Best. Grills. Ever.

I can cook on anything.
lynnzgal - August 21, 2009

Rated-R Superstar - August 21, 2009
I cooked a surf and turf on a camp fire one time.
My niece said it was the best meal she ever ett.
lynnzgal - August 21, 2009
Wow.
Rated-R Superstar - August 21, 2009
I am pissed that I spent $399 on my stainless grill
when I could have waited a little longer for a much better Weber.
ohtobe21likehuston - August 21, 2009
Not a bad idea, doc.
lynnzgal - August 21, 2009
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.

ohtobe21likehuston - August 21, 2009
I was thinking Jonny Ola from Godfather 2
Kallus - August 21, 2009
Nice
ohtobe21likehuston - August 21, 2009
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
Lefty73 - August 21, 2009
We do too!!!
BERRYJO - August 21, 2009

don't tell anybody
sirbed - August 21, 2009
boy, it sure looked to me like he stepped inside the base and didn't touch it
Deborah51 - August 21, 2009
As long as the umps missed it
it counts I guess

Frustrating, but Gallego made the right call holding Kennedy
Any carom or bobble, he sends him, but no chance.

What’s Round Table?

As we are of the TV ads!!
BERRYJO - August 21, 2009
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?

Chanterelles are delicious sauteed in butter, finished with a little cream

lots of garlic and parsley

mmmm garlic
Lefty73 - August 21, 2009
And a little thyme.
lynnzgal - August 21, 2009
I think it's parsley or thyme
but they’re both tastytime

mmmm, you could add some madeira maybe, or garlic
OakA'sHoney - August 21, 2009
madeira?
cuppingmaster - August 21, 2009
it's a wine
OakA'sHoney - August 21, 2009
Spanish.
lynnzgal - August 21, 2009
it's a sherry, I believe...or Jerez in Spain
Kallus - August 21, 2009
it's good in gravy too
OakA'sHoney - August 21, 2009
Think it's from Portugal
but yeah, it’s fortified like Sherry (or indeed, Port)

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

Ooh, that took me more than a minute to get.
I was thrown off by the devious L.
iglew - August 21, 2009
oh shit, foiled by my own smartypantness
still, shows I didn’t look it up, huh
bobnothing - August 21, 2009
Yes, it does. YSWIDT.
iglew - August 21, 2009
YSWIDT?
bobnothing - August 21, 2009
2nd person of ISWYDT
iglew - August 21, 2009
right, I see
bobnothing - August 21, 2009
ISWTDT
2nd person singular.
Nick - August 21, 2009
what thou didst there?
iglew - August 21, 2009
Yes
Nick - August 21, 2009
Flanders and Swann are utterly absurd
You’d think that they’re parodying themselves, but I think they weren’t.
Nick - August 21, 2009
wait, why is the plural of zeugma zeugmata
or am I misunderstanding?
bobnothing - August 21, 2009
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.
iglew - August 21, 2009
Interesting, I've only ever known that literary construct as zeugma
bobnothing - August 21, 2009
One doesn't often have an opportunity to use the plural.
iglew - August 21, 2009
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)
bobnothing - August 21, 2009
I don't know Greek forms at all,
I just know that’s how it is.
iglew - August 21, 2009
hum, interesting
this is a conumdrum. help us out, oh great internets!
bobnothing - August 21, 2009
Another characteristic of those words
is that their Spanish and Italian forms are masculine nouns in spite of ending in “a”.
iglew - August 21, 2009
Have some madeira, m'dear?
iglew - August 21, 2009
speaking of cooking, have you seen "Julie and Julia". I loved it
Meryl Streep was amazing

OakA'sHoney - August 21, 2009

Kallus - August 21, 2009
yes she's cute
but the julia child part is the better part of the film, i loved her relationship with her husband
OakA'sHoney - August 21, 2009
I so want to see it.
All of a sudden there are a ton of movies I want to see.
lynnzgal - August 21, 2009
Excellent movie
Streep should get an Oscar
doctorK - August 21, 2009
she's an amazing actress
Deborah51 - August 21, 2009
She's like the Michael Jordan of actresses
cityplANner - August 21, 2009
One of the best ever
sirbed - August 21, 2009
Well you know she'll be nominated
because she is almost every year.
sirbed - August 21, 2009
It's not so Emma and Julia, eh?
ohtobe21likehuston - August 21, 2009
Streep and I have something in common
We both graduated from the same high school.
Flashfire - August 21, 2009
I love that movie about the flower
She was great in that one.
ohtobe21likehuston - August 21, 2009

cityplANner - August 21, 2009
Nick,
how do you feel about early Pink Floyd?
Leopold Bloom - August 21, 2009
Not real familiar with it
I haven’t listened to tons of English psychedelia (e.g., early PF, Soft Machine).
Nick - August 21, 2009
I wonder how it compares to the kinks during that time.
Leopold Bloom - August 21, 2009
I hear that Pink Floyd started out as an R&B band
is that correct?
cityplANner - August 21, 2009
no, not correct
Kallus - August 21, 2009
hmmm.
well, kind of. According ot this documentary. They all listened to old blues, at least.
Leopold Bloom - August 21, 2009
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).

That's what they're sayin'.
lynnzgal - August 21, 2009
"Isolated thunderstorms"?
In August? Freaky.
Englishmajor - August 21, 2009
'Millenial weather'.
brian.only - August 21, 2009
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.
Englishmajor - August 21, 2009
10-20% chance @ weather.com

20% chance of thunderstorms

Rated-R Superstar - August 21, 2009
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?”
Nick - August 21, 2009
Wow, that stuff didn’t even happen on Roseanne.

I don't know
Cable likes to hit from behind and I don’t think Singletary will give him the chance
sirbed - August 21, 2009
Singletary will stomp a mud hole in Cable's chest and walk it dry
and Cable knows this
Lefty73 - August 21, 2009
No contest
Singletary is a tough man. Cable is just a punk-ass bully.
doctorK - August 21, 2009
Maybe if Cable waits until Singletary pulls down his pants
he can go for the low blow
sirbed - August 21, 2009
wow
Lefty73 - August 21, 2009
best not to respond to that one at all

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

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?
Nate - August 21, 2009
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.
iglew - August 21, 2009
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.
iglew - August 21, 2009
No!
Rated-R Superstar - August 21, 2009
F.....U.....C.....
Damn what a play.
baseballgirl - August 21, 2009
damn good one
Lefty73 - August 21, 2009

OakA'sHoney - August 21, 2009
wow, he smoked that one
Deborah51 - August 21, 2009
Who- Rated R?
ohtobe21likehuston - August 21, 2009
Hey!
Rated-R Superstar - August 21, 2009
She said smoked, not toked
doctorK - August 21, 2009
ah, high school...
OakA'sHoney - August 21, 2009
he'll protest his innocence, but we know he did
Deborah51 - August 21, 2009
I did not do such a thing!
Rated-R Superstar - August 21, 2009
whatever, pothead.
Leopold Bloom - August 21, 2009
I am truly hurt.
Rated-R Superstar - August 21, 2009
We tease because we love, you know.
lynnzgal - August 21, 2009
I know, I know.
Rated-R Superstar - August 21, 2009
The A's love their fans, too.
iglew - August 21, 2009
LOL, we should tell his mother
Deborah51 - August 21, 2009
I didn’t do anything!
Rated-R Superstar - August 21, 2009
you're a good kid, RRS :)
Deborah51 - August 21, 2009
a good sport, to say the least
cityplANner - August 21, 2009
Thanks, guys.
Rated-R Superstar - August 21, 2009
♥ from everyone
OakA'sHoney - August 21, 2009
Your hearts mean the most to me.
Rated-R Superstar - August 21, 2009
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.
iglew - August 21, 2009
yea!
OakA'sHoney - August 21, 2009
A-OK
All On Kennedy.
Nate - August 21, 2009
I hate at-'em balls
doctorK - August 21, 2009
Come on AK
Pew pew?
cuppingmaster - August 21, 2009
Well hit ball
not a well result
Come on AK
Trainman - August 21, 2009
i hate polanco
Deborah51 - August 21, 2009
we all do
guy incognito - August 21, 2009
We also all hate Raburn.
Rated-R Superstar - August 21, 2009
I hate brussel sprouts
sirbed - August 21, 2009
I hate myself
wait, did I say that out loud?
cityplANner - August 21, 2009
Well, you do go to USC
Nick - August 21, 2009
you did and we all agree
sirbed - August 21, 2009
I like him.
I’m gonna be his official sign maker.
Leopold Bloom - August 21, 2009
i love brussel sprouts, in fact
GreenNGoldSooner - August 21, 2009
Especially when you separate the leaves,
then saute them in bacon fat.
lynnzgal - August 21, 2009
yum!!!!
OakA'sHoney - August 21, 2009
Bacon!
Rated-R Superstar - August 21, 2009
you could fry dirt in bacon fat and it would taste good
sirbed - August 21, 2009
Dammit!
lynnzgal - August 21, 2009
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
cityplANner - August 21, 2009
I think it's orders from Billy to make him feel useful.
iglew - August 21, 2009
i can't fault nomar for that out
polanco made a great play
Deborah51 - August 21, 2009
WILD PITCH
Nate - August 21, 2009
Rajai's on deck...
Kallus - August 21, 2009
Just a single.
brian.only - August 21, 2009
ak hit puhleeeeze
OakA'sHoney - August 21, 2009
with sugar on top
Lefty73 - August 21, 2009
pretty please
OakA'sHoney - August 21, 2009
The sackman's coming, you're gonna get bent.
Leopold Bloom - August 21, 2009
That sounds bad.
lynnzgal - August 21, 2009
TWSS
Nate - August 21, 2009
Uh, oh.
Rated-R Superstar - August 21, 2009
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.
BleedGreen - August 21, 2009
well
13 years is a long time. that both were in the league to start this season is kind of impressive, actually.
guy incognito - August 21, 2009
ok, what?
why do you bring in Everidge for Barton… and then ask him to bunt??
bobnothing - August 21, 2009
Everidge came in for the previous AB
Nate - August 21, 2009
someone has clearly not been paying full attention to the game
ahem
bobnothing - August 21, 2009
Everidge was brought in earlier to hit against the left-handed pitcher.
Rated-R Superstar - August 21, 2009
This is a great game.
I love endings like this.
iglew - August 21, 2009
Dang.
Oh well, it was fun.
iglew - August 21, 2009
you love strickouts?
cityplANner - August 21, 2009
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.
iglew - August 21, 2009
I'm just razin' ya, Iglew
cityplANner - August 21, 2009
Comcast gun 100 (my ass)
Quit cranking that thing 3 or 4 miles an our too fast
Trainman - August 21, 2009
does it matter?
It is GAS
cuppingmaster - August 21, 2009
c'mon AK!
let’s get some pew pew pew going!
cityplANner - August 21, 2009
Don't pull it quite so much, AK.
lynnzgal - August 21, 2009
FAIL

ElQuesoCapitan - August 21, 2009
We are the Bears, shufflin' through....
damn, this is a long ass song. i don’t remember it being this long.
Leopold Bloom - August 21, 2009
Yup....it goes on and on and on....
It’s also very, er, ol’ skool.
And football talent does not correlate with rapping talent.
GreenNGoldSooner - August 21, 2009
especially the white guys.
Leopold Bloom - August 21, 2009
How dare you Bloom!
Saying white dudes can’t rap, next you’ll say they can’t dance.
sirbed - August 21, 2009
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.
Leopold Bloom - August 21, 2009
They sure could play football though
That Bears team was great for one season.
sirbed - August 21, 2009
Incredible.
Leopold Bloom - August 21, 2009
I was in Chi in '06 during the playoffs.
It was cold, brrrr. But very fun!
lynnzgal - August 21, 2009
damn
Lefty73 - August 21, 2009
That was a heater
whooo boy
cuppingmaster - August 21, 2009

MUCH OF IT.
ElQuesoCapitan - August 21, 2009
fffffffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuu
doctorK - August 21, 2009
i feel :(
OakA'sHoney - August 21, 2009
Great tease everyone, see some of you tomorrow!
brian.only - August 21, 2009
Man these close games are painful to lose
It feels like we are in last place or something.
ohtobe21likehuston - August 21, 2009
Totally, at least we own the Ang- oh crap its 2009...
brian.only - August 21, 2009
At least they only matter on a day to day basis....
Tomorrow this loss will be pretty meaningless.
GreenNGoldSooner - August 21, 2009
sadface!
cityplANner - August 21, 2009
Oh bugger
A demain, all.
Englishmajor - August 21, 2009
oui
lynnzgal - August 21, 2009
This is not turning out to be a good home stand
sirbed - August 21, 2009
Bad - Watching the A's lose
Worse – going to ESPN and seeing a Favre-gasm
doctorK - August 21, 2009
The game thread was entertaining.
Rated-R Superstar - August 21, 2009
BRETT FAVRE PICKED HIS NOSE
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
ElQuesoCapitan - August 21, 2009
That’s one great booger.
Rated-R Superstar - August 21, 2009
I hope you had adequate protection
lest you catch something from it
cityplANner - August 21, 2009
i wish he would just retire
and mean it
cuppingmaster - August 21, 2009
Well that was an interesting game.
Good performance from Gio sans the walks, suckitude from the offence.
See a couple of you tomorrow!
ElQuesoCapitan - August 21, 2009
OMG MEAN GIRLS IS ON
bobnothing - August 21, 2009
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
that is all
cityplANner - August 21, 2009
I'm not sure what that sound means
but either way, this film is amazing
bobnothing - August 21, 2009
I find it hilarious!
lynnzgal - August 21, 2009
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.
Nick - August 21, 2009
i did, i love that show
OakA'sHoney - August 21, 2009
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.
Nick - August 21, 2009
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
OakA'sHoney - August 21, 2009
Next week: Amy Winehouse!
Nick - August 21, 2009
lol
OakA'sHoney - August 21, 2009
well, she is awesome in three films
sarah whatserface, less so
bobnothing - August 21, 2009
That was a couple of kilos of blow ago, I'm afraid
Nick - August 21, 2009
sex and the city series
OakA'sHoney - August 21, 2009
I’ve seen a few episodes.
Rated-R Superstar - August 21, 2009
To be fair,
(and I loved that whacko girl) I would have given her that advice.
lynnzgal - August 21, 2009
I LOVED the weirdo, too!
Leopold Bloom - August 21, 2009
I feel like we missed out there.
lynnzgal - August 21, 2009
totally.
Leopold Bloom - August 21, 2009
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.
Nico - August 21, 2009
what else is
new?
hishnik - August 21, 2009
very much in agreement, but for different reasons
No matter what happened earlier, Cust will have trouble scoring from second.
cuppingmaster - August 21, 2009
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.
Nico - August 21, 2009
Chances of Everidge doing something positive against Rodney
are very low.
Nick - August 21, 2009
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.
Nico - August 21, 2009
Yeah, I would have left Barton in against the LH earlier on
Barton is one of the positives from this game, IMHO.
Nick - August 21, 2009
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.
Nico - August 21, 2009
especially as you then pinch hit Nomar
brain, a bit confused by this one
bobnothing - August 21, 2009
Time to rummage in the kitchen and find something to cook.
later
iglew - August 21, 2009
later
p.s. – no good abbreviated nicknames on this team. we already figured out clete and it isn’t interesting
cuppingmaster - August 21, 2009
If you find a raccoon, just scroll through the game thread for the recipe
Nick - August 21, 2009
i hope it's something very yummy
OakA'sHoney - August 21, 2009
Awww..
Talking about Duke.
May you climb out of the darkness, dear one.
