As we turn unperturbed to the last third of our Thursday excursion -- the Mastersons vs. the Mortensens -- Kurt has hurt the inert Tribe with a 3-run blurt, part of a murderous 4-run spurt in the third. Add a Sweeney Squirt in the first and we are 5-2 two thirds immersed.
Word.
Those "umpire" fans are awesome
Flashfire - September 17, 2009
Maybe they're real umps?
Maybe?
IowaA'sFan - September 17, 2009
I think I heard something the other day that they're fans on a ballpark tour of sorts
Can’t find anything about it on a quick search though.
Flashfire - September 17, 2009
WELCOME PALS
ROOM TO ROAMZ
emperor nobody - September 17, 2009
i need to get a jacket with that patch on it
cuppingmaster - September 17, 2009
i like your write-up, what is a Sweeney Squirt?
OakA'sHoney - September 17, 2009
he singled in the 1st
so my naughty mind went with squirt.
emperor nobody - September 17, 2009
I will claim that I have no idea why that word is naughty.
IowaA'sFan - September 17, 2009
woohoo!
he knows how to get to 1st
OakA'sHoney - September 17, 2009
so you know what a sweeney squirt is...
cuppingmaster - September 17, 2009
i'd rather know about the Buck $%#ck
OakA'sHoney - September 17, 2009
LOL
ROTFL! You’re making my stomach hurt, OAH!
cuppingmaster - September 17, 2009
the truth hurts ; )
OakA'sHoney - September 17, 2009
thats my girl
mikev - September 17, 2009

OakA'sHoney - September 17, 2009
I bet you like the hospital orderly in Kill Bill
Flashfire - September 17, 2009
i didn't see that film
OakA'sHoney - September 17, 2009
I don't think I want to spoil that part then
But his truck is…funny.
Flashfire - September 17, 2009
his truck?
OakA'sHoney - September 17, 2009
It has a funny name
sirbed - September 17, 2009
what?
OakA'sHoney - September 17, 2009
Google "Kill Bill Buck wagon"
Check the images.
Flashfire - September 17, 2009
funny, just found on you tube
“my name is buck and i’m here to…f@&$k”
OakA'sHoney - September 17, 2009
There ya go
Flashfire - September 17, 2009
oops
it was an RBI groundout, that’s why I squirted.
emperor nobody - September 17, 2009
I had a wastepaper basket in my room as a kid....
….with that logo on it. Brings back fond memories of my old room!
GreenNGoldSooner - September 17, 2009
I’m so tired, I think I’m going to go lay down and watch the rest of the game before falling asleep.
Rated-R Superstar - September 17, 2009
get some sleep!
OakA'sHoney - September 17, 2009
band practice too early?
cuppingmaster - September 17, 2009
This one time, at band camp ....
Ah, screw it. We didn’t have band camp when I was in high school.
doctorK - September 17, 2009
I was on the golf team so I was to cool for band
sirbed - September 17, 2009
i was in band
trumpet was fine. it still collects lint somewhere around here..
cuppingmaster - September 17, 2009
French Horn in my garage suffering the same fate
doctorK - September 17, 2009
played that for awhile
because no one else was stupid enough to volunteer for it. too hard to play as i recall
cuppingmaster - September 17, 2009
Try marching with one
doctorK - September 17, 2009
i have a flute somewhere
OakA'sHoney - September 17, 2009
girl instrument
cuppingmaster - September 17, 2009
i'm a girl
OakA'sHoney - September 17, 2009
i know
just a statement
cuppingmaster - September 17, 2009
there were a couple of guys playing flute
but, well, i won’t say anymore
OakA'sHoney - September 17, 2009
exactly
cuppingmaster - September 17, 2009
no, you're a woman!
mikev - September 17, 2009
; )
OakA'sHoney - September 17, 2009
but, but…
AV - September 18, 2009
Really?
Tell it this guy.
doctorK - September 17, 2009
that was a cruel link doc
sirbed - September 17, 2009
That's why most major flautists are men....
BERRYJO - September 17, 2009
Go flutes and piccolos too
BERRYJO - September 17, 2009
I can listen to music
sirbed - September 17, 2009
I played trumpet too
I can still lip buzz. Kinda lame party trick.
Nick - September 17, 2009
i thought about bringing it to the game back in the day
but figured people would think i was a pussy
cuppingmaster - September 17, 2009
no they wouldn't if you could play it
OakA'sHoney - September 17, 2009
wouldn't have exactly attracted the ladies
cuppingmaster - September 17, 2009
women like a man who knows how to use his mouth
sirbed - September 17, 2009
good call
cuppingmaster - September 17, 2009
yea
OakA'sHoney - September 17, 2009
Bye RRS
sirbed - September 17, 2009
I'm so tired, my mind is on the blink
doctorK - September 17, 2009
I wonder should I get up...
and make myself (another) drink?
IowaA'sFan - September 17, 2009
No no no!
doctorK - September 17, 2009
i'll have a vodka on the rocks with a twist of lime
thanks
OakA'sHoney - September 17, 2009
You're going to lie down, little biscuit
Laying is something else entirely.
Englishmajor - September 17, 2009
Tee hee.
ElQuesoCapitan - September 17, 2009
Ole!
doctorK - September 17, 2009
Yeah!
GreenNGoldSooner - September 17, 2009
Michael Brantley out!
Or is that Jeff Brantley?
cuppingmaster - September 17, 2009
good heads up by Suzuki on the base paths
bashbro89 - September 17, 2009
hope his wrist is okay though
cuppingmaster - September 17, 2009
put some dibs on it
bashbro89 - September 17, 2009
Do they block off certain sections for ticket sales?
Would that be for cleaning purposes…. keep fans out of that section and we don’t have to clean that area up, after the seagulls are done with their buffet?
bashbro89 - September 17, 2009
i'm pretty sure they do
although it doesn’t stop people from going to some random section for shenanigans
cuppingmaster - September 17, 2009
You know it would be pretty fun to attend a game dressed as an ump!
GreenNGoldSooner - September 17, 2009
Yeah!
I’m almost considering dressing as an ump instead of as a woman next time.
IowaA'sFan - September 17, 2009
someone send ray & gen an email question to ask on the air
you can go through csncalifornia.com
OakA'sHoney - September 17, 2009
what shall we ask?
cuppingmaster - September 17, 2009
We should shoot for the most ridiculous question we could get on the air.
GreenNGoldSooner - September 17, 2009
why is jack cust allowed to play in rf?
OakA'sHoney - September 17, 2009
that's a legitimate question
cuppingmaster - September 17, 2009
i know it's just sad
OakA'sHoney - September 17, 2009
Yeah.
We’re used to quality right fielders, like Jose Canseco!
IowaA'sFan - September 17, 2009
something good...about dibs?
OakA'sHoney - September 17, 2009
up to you
cuppingmaster - September 17, 2009
but since i can't watch it
you have to record it for me
cuppingmaster - September 17, 2009
you guys know alot more about baseball
OakA'sHoney - September 17, 2009

bashbro89 - September 17, 2009

OakA'sHoney - September 17, 2009

cuppingmaster - September 17, 2009
Uh oh
cuppingmaster - September 17, 2009
Whoops!
Suddenly I notice that the tying run is at the plate.
GreenNGoldSooner - September 17, 2009
STOP THIS NOW.
ElQuesoCapitan - September 17, 2009
Tying run at the plate w/ one out
Get the DP grounder right here
bashbro89 - September 17, 2009
Wuertz sez:
I got this.
IowaA'sFan - September 17, 2009
said like George Lopez
cuppingmaster - September 17, 2009
OK I submitted a question about my man
OakA'sHoney - September 17, 2009
which was?
cuppingmaster - September 17, 2009
will we see him play for the A's before the season is over
of course they won’t know but they can talk about it
OakA'sHoney - September 17, 2009
Apparently you need to offer them food to get on the air
Englishmajor - September 17, 2009
i know, what;s up with that?
OakA'sHoney - September 17, 2009
yay strickout
doctorK - September 17, 2009
nice pitch to get him swinging
one more and lets get some insurance
bashbro89 - September 17, 2009
One more pitch Wuertz!
cuppingmaster - September 17, 2009
LaPorte missed that one by a foot... at least
bashbro89 - September 17, 2009
HI everybody

BERRYJO - September 17, 2009
We try.
GreenNGoldSooner - September 17, 2009

Good job by Wuertz to wiggle out of that one!
bashbro89 - September 17, 2009

doctorK - September 17, 2009
Woo!
Oh god, I love the ump fans. Hilarious.
IowaA'sFan - September 17, 2009
He gave them the wuertz
cuppingmaster - September 17, 2009
A Whole Lotta Wuertz!
GreenNGoldSooner - September 17, 2009

BERRYJO - September 17, 2009
nice lunch box!
bashbro89 - September 17, 2009
WTF??
That is hilarious!!!
BERRYJO - September 17, 2009
Michael Weurtz
for Awesome!
BleedGreen - September 17, 2009
He's got my vote.
IowaA'sFan - September 17, 2009
Strange
who would have thought Weurtz would have stuck anybody out?
Future Ed - September 17, 2009
I think a better idea is to send them some odd but delicious food item.....
BERRYJO - September 17, 2009
how about a
beaver tail
cuppingmaster - September 17, 2009
Not gonna go there
Do not comment!! LOL
BERRYJO - September 17, 2009
maple butter!!
you sickos!
cuppingmaster - September 17, 2009
I was kinda worried....b/c I don't know. i'm not from the land of maple butter.
BERRYJO - September 17, 2009
neither am i
but i have tried them and they are delicious. think a flat churro. with sweet stuff on it (mine had nutella).
cuppingmaster - September 17, 2009
can hardly go wrong with fried bread, huh?
BERRYJO - September 17, 2009
never
cuppingmaster - September 17, 2009
cloud 9 cheesecake
make sure to put the file in it so these guys can weasel and roll their way out of the booth.
or send them the Wuertz Luch box
bashbro89 - September 17, 2009
alert! mark mulder in spring training?!
OakA'sHoney - September 17, 2009
where'd you get that??
hmmmmm
BERRYJO - September 17, 2009
ray and glen just said it
OakA'sHoney - September 17, 2009
then it must be true
BleedGreen - September 17, 2009
it would be cool to see him
OakA'sHoney - September 17, 2009
I was obviously typing!!
There’s a tall drink of water…..
BERRYJO - September 17, 2009
when he said it they were showing a guy wearing a Moulder jersey
the reason they were talking about him was because someone asked who were the A’s big 3 earlier in the decade.
bashbro89 - September 17, 2009
then they said we may see him in spring training
OakA'sHoney - September 17, 2009
Oh - for somebody.......maybe not for us.....
BERRYJO - September 17, 2009
but they said phoenix and it sounded like us, i'll watch the replay of the game tomorrow and listen again
OakA'sHoney - September 17, 2009
my hated comcast recorder is being retarded and won't let me rewind!
BERRYJO - September 17, 2009
comcast has the game on demand for 24 hours
OakA'sHoney - September 17, 2009
It's just b/c he lives in Scottsdale.
mikev - September 17, 2009
scottsdale not phoenix, but didn;t it sound like he might show up for the A's?
wishful thinking maybe
OakA'sHoney - September 17, 2009
Oh those silly Umps
http://twitpic.com/i4tqr
Hit4TheCycle - September 17, 2009
That cracked me up.
IowaA'sFan - September 17, 2009
their chorography needs a little polishing. Overall an A's effort!
bashbro89 - September 17, 2009
LOVE it!!

BERRYJO - September 17, 2009

doctorK - September 17, 2009
i love that replay of the little girl throwing the ball back at
Citizen Bank Ballpark
cuppingmaster - September 17, 2009
do you think she'll ever live that down?
why didn’t he just wait until after the game? ;)
BleedGreen - September 17, 2009
ever try to keep a ball from a toddler?
Future Ed - September 17, 2009
it's kinda like
“i did just what you said daddy — throw it back”
cuppingmaster - September 17, 2009
Yes
BleedGreen - September 17, 2009
If the family ever moves to Chicago, she'd be a natural in the bleachers at Wrigley
doctorK - September 17, 2009
I'm gonna celebrate the impending victory
by watching the season premiere of Sunny!
BleedGreen - September 17, 2009
the "older man" vendor in the background is dancing
what does he sell? Popcorn?
bashbro89 - September 17, 2009
My favorite vendor of all time
was the lemonade guy at Kauffman Stadium in K.C.
“Hey you guys, buy some damn lemonade!”
IowaA'sFan - September 17, 2009
or "i got your dibs right here!"
OakA'sHoney - September 17, 2009
is that red ropes guy at the coli still there from back in the day
cuppingmaster - September 17, 2009
Is he like that older gray-haired Asian guy??
I think he’s on to some other products…
One won lost won - September 17, 2009
no no
he had a speech impediment, let’s say that. african-american guy.
cuppingmaster - September 17, 2009
WED WOPES!
Flashfire - September 17, 2009
Weally?
BERRYJO - September 17, 2009
Mett me in my dweesing woom, wight after the show
doctorK - September 17, 2009
I like the one at the Coli who says other stuff under his breath
such as “not like you need it but you know you want it”
BERRYJO - September 17, 2009
my favorite are... strike that, were the beer vendors in the cheap seats
then it was like… hey, pour me a damn beer, then tip him for my beligerent behaviour.
bashbro89 - September 17, 2009
i just want a hug from stomper when he roams the stands
OakA'sHoney - September 17, 2009
Do you flip out for a hug when Barney comes on T.V.?
could be something there?
bashbro89 - September 17, 2009
i don't watch barney
OakA'sHoney - September 17, 2009
she likes men in uniform
clearly.
cuppingmaster - September 17, 2009

OakA'sHoney - September 17, 2009
stomper wears a uni
cuppingmaster - September 17, 2009

OakA'sHoney - September 17, 2009
Are you a Jack Cust fan?
bashbro89 - September 17, 2009

cuppingmaster - September 17, 2009
LOL LOL
BERRYJO - September 17, 2009
You can have him come to visit you (or children you might be with) but I have the feeling you have to pay......
sorta like a visit from Santa
BERRYJO - September 17, 2009

cuppingmaster - September 17, 2009

One won lost won - September 17, 2009

bashbro89 - September 17, 2009
it's the 9th inning and ray is still saying "dibs"
OakA'sHoney - September 17, 2009

mikev - September 17, 2009

OakA'sHoney - September 17, 2009
I'm doing that
Oh…

Ray needs help.
Your Dibs addiction is gonna kill you, man.
IowaA'sFan - September 17, 2009
I stretched out horizontal when T. Crowe got the triple
then I woke myself up with my own snoring…
It was still 5-2, and I feel a bit refreshed…

Future Ed - September 17, 2009
Yeah, because nobody else is paying to sit there
Flashfire - September 17, 2009
They're all abooot umpire love.

BERRYJO - September 17, 2009

mikev - September 17, 2009
They are traveling....not sure if there are from Stockton
BERRYJO - September 17, 2009

bashbro89 - September 17, 2009
He heard them in the first inning
bashbro89 - September 17, 2009
Winning is always more fun than losing
Those two jokers in the stands make it even better.
Good night, all.
doctorK - September 17, 2009

Flashfire - September 17, 2009
Well, they got their punchouts
Flashfire - September 17, 2009
a punch "ooot" with their canadian accents
OakA'sHoney - September 17, 2009
haha
you’re funny tonight
cuppingmaster - September 17, 2009
Mgr. Bob thought the mention of them, the umps at his post, was
off the wall… did not know what to think.
ak_A - September 17, 2009
Sounds like he isn't too good with the unexpected
Flashfire - September 17, 2009

ak_A - September 18, 2009
