Well, we made it to a new thread. It's been a long and mostly unexciting game but the A's lead 6-1 after seven and Rajai Davis is having another one of those good performances we've come to enjoy.
baseball should never be decided in one game. i even think they should re-structure the concept of the series so that the W/L gets pinned on a 3-day event minimum, rather than W/L per game. it’s the same outcome, really. but it would highlight that the rotation is as much a part of “playing baseball” as the the lineup is.
though he obviously doesn’t have much to trade with. He playing the hand he was dealt. He’s evil, he’s trying to gather soul for dark lord and he’s on a toaster, so…
forgot about IMDB for a sec there. yeah, she was on, a character named safron. still can’t remember. i guess i can now cue up firefly on the netflix till the next season of MM comes out….
woof?

Leopold Bloom - September 15, 2009
No, I took a nap when I got home.
I’m all groggy now. Forgot which day I’m in. Actually, I think its wishful thinking. Tomorrow is my Friday. Yay!
lynnzgal - September 15, 2009
that's not fair.
I want it to be my Friday too.
…

Leopold Bloom - September 15, 2009
it's my tuesday
OakA'sHoney - September 15, 2009

I have to live through 3 more work days til my friday
BERRYJO - September 15, 2009
Well I'll be damned if I was going to spend my big
birthday at work. So I’m taking the rest of the week off. I deserve it.
lynnzgal - September 15, 2009

OakA'sHoney - September 15, 2009
WOW - I wish I could do that!!
my next one will be on a sunday
BERRYJO - September 15, 2009
did you have a good celebratory weekend?
BERRYJO - September 15, 2009
My mommy fixed me braised lamb shanks.
Which is like one of my favorites. And then there were the chocolate eclairs. Yum!
lynnzgal - September 15, 2009
We have so many BD's at the same time that sometime we can tretch it all out
for a few weeks!! Depending on who I see and when! and when Easter is.
BERRYJO - September 15, 2009
Bunch of Aries?
lynnzgal - September 15, 2009
Aries and Taruses
How DO you spell that!?
BERRYJO - September 15, 2009
don't forget us fish.
Leopold Bloom - September 15, 2009
Hey, I'm one toooooo
Flashfire - September 15, 2009
wonder what this means about our gaming....
maybe it’s a trait of fish to be immature…
Leopold Bloom - September 15, 2009
My dad was a fish!!
BERRYJO - September 15, 2009
Vardamin's mother was a fish.
Leopold Bloom - September 15, 2009
Tauruses?
lynnzgal - September 15, 2009
you know, the rest of us
in the astrological wheel never got a crappy car named after us.
Leopold Bloom - September 15, 2009
I don't need a car to validate my awesome Virgo-ness.
lynnzgal - September 15, 2009
Ooooo
present better get there tomorrow then…
Leopold Bloom - September 15, 2009
Yeah.
Otherwise, John might open it.
lynnzgal - September 15, 2009
he might keep it.
Leopold Bloom - September 15, 2009
he better not!
lynnzgal - September 15, 2009
I love a man
who unladen, swallows.
emperor nobody - September 15, 2009

either is fine.
emperor nobody - September 15, 2009
I don't know that!!!
BERRYJO - September 15, 2009
yay! ad blocker rocks!
OakA'sHoney - September 15, 2009
what's it blocking?
Leopold Bloom - September 15, 2009
those lg phone ads all over this blog
OakA'sHoney - September 15, 2009
OH.
I’ve had the ad blockr for a while now so I donna see them.
I hate advertising. Is it irony that I’m now in signs?
Leopold Bloom - September 15, 2009
they were slowing up the site so much
OakA'sHoney - September 15, 2009
If it's not on some MMA fighter's ass, you don't wanna see it.
Nick - September 15, 2009
don't forget their crotch.
Leopold Bloom - September 15, 2009
I musta done s/t right with mine b/c over here the ads are gone!!
BERRYJO - September 15, 2009
Yay!

BERRYJO - September 15, 2009
well at least
Raj got another hit, he is looking at .300 this year and I think it’s gonna happen, just amazing.
emperor nobody - September 15, 2009
Pudge still has quite an arm.
That was a rocket.
Boonee - September 15, 2009
Nice throw, CJ
Flashfire - September 15, 2009
LOL!
He makes a great catch then throws it away! Awesome!
lynnzgal - September 15, 2009
oh dear
Deborah51 - September 15, 2009
That's probably exactly what CJ said
Nick - September 15, 2009
he misses throwing to saltalamacchia
OakA'sHoney - September 15, 2009
I'll take it.
ak_A - September 15, 2009
Carson is thrown out at home on a comebacker
Best chance Sacramento’s had to score tonight so far.
Flashfire - September 15, 2009
how's travis doing?
OakA'sHoney - September 15, 2009
At risk of splinters
Depending on what the bench in the dugout is made of
Flashfire - September 15, 2009
what, not playing?
it’s a conspiracy
OakA'sHoney - September 15, 2009
uh oh, the K king is up.
ak_A - September 15, 2009
will this be 4 for him if he KKKKKKs
BERRYJO - September 15, 2009
yo
ak_A - September 15, 2009
Cust for the G.S
bashbro89 - September 15, 2009
That'd be tough to do
Flashfire - September 15, 2009
Golden Sombrero
ohtobe21likehuston - September 15, 2009
Wait, I was thinking GS = Grand Slam, heh
Flashfire - September 15, 2009
That was SUPER wishful thinking!
BERRYJO - September 15, 2009
And HE WINS!!!!!
BERRYJO - September 15, 2009
Kust never swings that wildly
he is kinda toast.
emperor nobody - September 15, 2009
Cust is F'n awful...
athleticsBB4life - September 15, 2009
I agree
awful
Beyond awful.
Trainman - September 15, 2009
He gets the GOLDEN SOMBRERO
Now on to Platinum….
bashbro89 - September 15, 2009
Yeah, the ump is definitely ready to go home
Nick - September 15, 2009
But he won't let anyone know for 5-6 seconds
Nico - September 15, 2009
here Jack, it's golden just for you
emperor nobody - September 15, 2009
lol.....do you have the platinum one ready in case we rally and he gets another ab?
bashbro89 - September 15, 2009
is that an Ortega chille?
ak_A - September 15, 2009
that, or the acid's kicked in.
Leopold Bloom - September 15, 2009
why not both? LOL 0_O
emperor nobody - September 15, 2009
I was thinking
that worm needs to crawl BACK into the bottle of tee-kill-ya
BERRYJO - September 15, 2009
Me too!
lynnzgal - September 15, 2009
Rangers announcer compared Cust to Dunn...
not even close bitches
athleticsBB4life - September 15, 2009
It seems to me that for all the times Nomar
pinch hits when he shouldn’t, a good time for him to pinch hit would have been for Cust in the 8th.
Nico - September 15, 2009
six of one and a bakers half dozen of the other.... in other words, nothing to loose
ak_A - September 15, 2009
Oooh, CJ ignored Wash
Flashfire - September 15, 2009
Yeah, bush league move by CJ there
doctorK - September 15, 2009
I blame Gio
Nick - September 15, 2009
poor gio, you'll freak him out
OakA'sHoney - September 15, 2009
he's hot and pissed off
OakA'sHoney - September 15, 2009

BASTARDS!
Leopold Bloom - September 15, 2009
I don;t know much about PCL playoff....2 of 3? then into championship?
BERRYJO - September 15, 2009
Best of five and they're in the championship round now
Winner plays the International League winner in a one-game matchup next week for the Triple-A title.
Flashfire - September 15, 2009
High stakes for the game next week!
How are the RC’s projected? I know they usually do well
BERRYJO - September 15, 2009
They're as likely to win as ever
Flashfire - September 15, 2009
Though I'd say the overall title is more of a bragging rights thing
It’s hard to take a one-game thing like that in baseball seriously. Winning the league title is the main thing.
Flashfire - September 15, 2009
I was gonna put that in my comment - cuz that's how I see it.
BERRYJO - September 15, 2009
mmm RC cola
sirbed - September 15, 2009
baseball should never be decided in one game. i even think they should re-structure the concept of the series so that the W/L gets pinned on a 3-day event minimum, rather than W/L per game. it’s the same outcome, really. but it would highlight that the rotation is as much a part of “playing baseball” as the the lineup is.
AV - September 15, 2009
yay yankees lost
OakA'sHoney - September 15, 2009
That was an efficient inning
Nick - September 15, 2009
me YOW!
Leopold Bloom - September 15, 2009
Tee hee.
ElQuesoCapitan - September 15, 2009
I like the cat's proposal.
Leopold Bloom - September 15, 2009
Is that instead of "Penny for your thoughts"?
lynnzgal - September 15, 2009
Or is it like "Chicken Soup for the Soul"?
On second thought, maybe that series IS a trade offer.
Englishmajor - September 15, 2009
the cat's clearly dealing in higher stakes,
though he obviously doesn’t have much to trade with. He playing the hand he was dealt. He’s evil, he’s trying to gather soul for dark lord and he’s on a toaster, so…
Leopold Bloom - September 15, 2009
it better be one of those blueberry ones
if i am givin up my soul, damn.
emperor nobody - September 15, 2009
or strawberry with that sweeeeet sugary crunch!
on second thought – forget the “frosting”
BERRYJO - September 15, 2009
Satan don't do frosting.
Leopold Bloom - September 15, 2009
Depends on what you think the relative value of the items is!!
penny – thoughts
pop tart – soul
hmmmmmmmm
BERRYJO - September 15, 2009
Pop tart > penny
For sure,
lynnzgal - September 15, 2009
Would you, Mr Bloomy?
ElQuesoCapitan - September 15, 2009
not for a pop tart.
Leopold Bloom - September 15, 2009
How about a klondike bar?
sirbed - September 15, 2009
would you....would you kill a man?
Leopold Bloom - September 15, 2009
I already have
and you’re next Bloom
sirbed - September 15, 2009
I'm hiding in the bushes.
Good luck finding me.
Leopold Bloom - September 15, 2009
I'm deadly with my squirt gun
sirbed - September 15, 2009
TWHS
Flashfire - September 15, 2009
rim shot!
sirbed - September 15, 2009
Ah.
ElQuesoCapitan - September 15, 2009
An Its IT?
BERRYJO - September 15, 2009
now you're talking.
tempt me with food I’ve not had for a few years…
Leopold Bloom - September 15, 2009
Its it!!
ElQuesoCapitan - September 15, 2009
Well I guess I'm back in time to hear the A's win
It was a good episode of Mad Men but my wish for the Christina Hendricks bikini scene didn’t happen at least on the show.
sirbed - September 15, 2009
You'd have thought with the dream sequence it might could have happened, too.
lynnzgal - September 15, 2009
It'll happen in my dreams....again
sirbed - September 15, 2009
she wasn't even in the episode
OakA'sHoney - September 15, 2009
She needs her own show
sirbed - September 15, 2009
I missed her.
She keeps all those bitches in line.
lynnzgal - September 15, 2009
i love peggy's storyline
OakA'sHoney - September 15, 2009
She is kicking some ass now isn't she?
lynnzgal - September 15, 2009
and she is odd, but she is becoming don
OakA'sHoney - September 15, 2009
She totally is, you're right.
lynnzgal - September 15, 2009
Peggy is great
I love her
sirbed - September 15, 2009
I wish there was more of her and less of the fat guy with the beard
and the fat guy with the glasses. Don and the women are why the show is good.
sirbed - September 15, 2009
I like that fat guy with the glasses.
And I think you’re going to see a whole lot more of him too.
lynnzgal - September 15, 2009
I think he's boring
and if the other guy didn’t have the beard I couldn’t tell them apart.
sirbed - September 15, 2009
if you want to read some good post episode analysis check out sfgate.com
OakA'sHoney - September 15, 2009
Tim Goodman is great on his blog
sirbed - September 15, 2009
oh good you read it
he deconstructs it quite well
OakA'sHoney - September 15, 2009
hey… so someone told me she was in firefly… who was she? and was she as sexy as she is in MM? i can’t remember…
AV - September 15, 2009
I never watched Firefly but I can't imagine that woman not being sexy
sirbed - September 15, 2009
she is vavavoom jessica rabbit-like
OakA'sHoney - September 15, 2009
If they make a live action version she's perfect for the role
sirbed - September 15, 2009
i like how she's not skinny, she's a real woman with a womanly figure
but her role in life well she is marginalized as women were back then
OakA'sHoney - September 15, 2009
Her fiance bugs.
I think he is not a nice man.
lynnzgal - September 15, 2009
well he did rape her and has anger issues
but she had to marry , she was expected to once you reach a certain age, i love that scene the other week between her and jane
OakA'sHoney - September 15, 2009
he's a jerk and he raped her
she could do a lot better.
sirbed - September 15, 2009
I love all women but you're right it's good to see a curvy woman on TV
believe me most men like curves.
sirbed - September 15, 2009
i love how roger lusts after her still
OakA'sHoney - September 15, 2009
I think in the end they'll get back together
sirbed - September 15, 2009
some affair or something...speaking of something's gonna happen between don and sally's teacher
OakA'sHoney - September 15, 2009
Something could happen with Don
and anything that is breathing. That boy gets around
sirbed - September 15, 2009
true, he's so hot, but god i;d hate to ne married to him
OakA'sHoney - September 15, 2009
He's a great character though
sirbed - September 15, 2009
oh yes, he is the show
OakA'sHoney - September 15, 2009
You know it!
After the maypole thing I figured something would.
lynnzgal - September 15, 2009
i’m so out of the loop. i depend on DVDs for all these shows.
AV - September 15, 2009
you should rent the series
OakA'sHoney - September 15, 2009
I'm going to have those.
I’m totally hooked.
lynnzgal - September 15, 2009
I can't wait for the DVD's
but I love the DVR so I can watch it whenever I want.
sirbed - September 15, 2009
That's who I think of when I see her in MM.
lynnzgal - September 15, 2009
i think the 60s outfits help. i bet in modern gear, like in low-rise shorts and a tanktop, she’d be… oh god. i take it back!
AV - September 15, 2009
I don't think she was in Firefly.
lynnzgal - September 15, 2009
i found something. but i still can’t tell who she is in the show… must have been a bit part. do you recognize?
AV - September 15, 2009
Oh wow!
That COULD be her!
lynnzgal - September 15, 2009
that looks like her
OakA'sHoney - September 15, 2009
Ya that's her
sirbed - September 15, 2009
Wth episode was that?
I have that series on dvd. Gonna have to look.
lynnzgal - September 15, 2009
I might have to go back and watch Firefly now
sirbed - September 15, 2009
IMDB says “trash” and “our mrs. reynolds.” just two episodes.
AV - September 15, 2009
Thanks for the tip AV
sirbed - September 15, 2009
Okay. She must be Saffron then.
lynnzgal - September 15, 2009
forgot about IMDB for a sec there. yeah, she was on, a character named safron. still can’t remember. i guess i can now cue up firefly on the netflix till the next season of MM comes out….
AV - September 15, 2009
it's fun chating about mad men!
OakA'sHoney - September 15, 2009
more fun then the A's sometimes
sirbed - September 15, 2009
it's hhard for me to talk as in depth about the A's because i don't understand vorp, ops, risp, etc.
but i love to deconstruct analyze film, art, etc.
OakA'sHoney - September 15, 2009
i know what you mean. i hardly ever comment on actual baseball here because i feel like EVERYBODY knows better than me.
AV - September 15, 2009
i just enjoy the games and cute players
i do love the game
OakA'sHoney - September 15, 2009
+1 Just love the game and have fun
sirbed - September 15, 2009
that’s what it’s all about.
AV - September 15, 2009
and there's always a game the next day!
OakA'sHoney - September 15, 2009
you won’t be saying that come october 4…
AV - September 15, 2009
i know, we'll go through withdrawl
OakA'sHoney - September 15, 2009
Come to the game and commiserate with us.
lynnzgal - September 15, 2009
i might be in vegas that weekend with girlfriends, but if we don't go i could go at least to the tailgate
OakA'sHoney - September 15, 2009
Vegas is always fun
have a good night everyone.
sirbed - September 15, 2009
Nighty night!
lynnzgal - September 15, 2009
Email me if you don't go to Vegas.
Sometimes there’s an extra ticket or two with these things.
lynnzgal - September 15, 2009
okay thanks - night everyone!
OakA'sHoney - September 15, 2009
Just have fun with it
I’m just trying to make myself laugh and maybe get Bloom to laugh. VORP and all that stuff is boring a lot of the time.
sirbed - September 15, 2009
and when they post graphs that just throws me
OakA'sHoney - September 15, 2009
I like reading DFA's stuff
but I only understand about half of it.
sirbed - September 15, 2009
at least you're trying
OakA'sHoney - September 15, 2009
2 out in the top of the 7th in Memphis

OakA'sHoney - September 15, 2009
Where was this team in May and April??!!
Of all teams, I love it when the Athletics hold Texas to zero or one run, while scoring early and often, and getting up to five or six ….or MORE!!!
One won lost won - September 15, 2009
not sure where they were - oh yea we had holliday, giambi, etc.
i like where we are now
OakA'sHoney - September 15, 2009
indeed, this team is so watchable
compared to the unwatchable manner in which they played earlier in the year.
I mean, it was almost physically painful. Now, it’s like savoring champagne now and again over three hours….ahhhhhhhh!!
One won lost won - September 15, 2009
