Wow.....after the high of 7 consecutive wins

this ones a real downer……

a third thread?

 Have there been any posts about the game?

Yes......some.....
Damn, and we were just starting to talk nipple rings.
Go on...
You don't know,

this could be the rally thread!

Mine isn't that high.
So we've been told.

but why?

Roomy,

but without Bloomy.

I'll try to pick up the slack.
Thanks, babe,
he just called me a slack. my car is acting funny.
I'm letting AN down

I only have 110 posts for this game

this game is sucking
and that was a quick inning
O/U on pitches to the backstop: 2
Where is the Buck-Cam?!
Triple digits anyone?
In wild pitches, you mean?
so shoud we call him

Hank-Rod?

buck's in left!!!
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
he looks good!
hit everything to right field please
he's inleft? hit everything to left field!
hiya

I’m here, so we can start scoring runs now…

Yay!

That’s all that was needed.

good, we need 7 at least
Oh shit here he is!
TRAVIS BUCK SIGHTING
Fuck the heck??? 70+ Ks in 43 IP???
Lots of Ks, lots of BBs
I don't even think my guys are that good in MVP Baseball.
child's play
part 1 or 2?
second one
it's a deeper movie

it really breaks down what it means to be alive

especially the last 45 minutes

epic

I laughed,I cried

I saw the face of God

That was just someone playing God.

I think it was Michael Landon.

or maybe William Powell
or the guy in Star Trek 5- The search for suck
And we get Landon, too
Wow Patterson fucking sucks.
I've heard THAT before
What?

are you joking mikev? I mean everyone loves him right?

There's one to the backstop so far
It might be a fun ride watching this guy for the next few years
Okay, we've hit the O/U of 2 now
What are we posters with the same mindset???
there's the back stop throwing......

we’ve heard so much about

The kid has no idea where his breaking ball is going.
or his fastball, apparently.
I kinda like the suspense.
I don't think Landon does, either
Landon is on the highway to Oakland
everyone fly out to left field please
that's some wicked shit right there
Mobile commenting available! Keep the conversation going.
Wild thing,..
you walk everything
You make everything...shitty.
you make my heart sing
I hate to say this

but HRod’s stretch looks a lot like KRod’s.

You....I....

NO NO NO NO NO

WTF??
At least that wasn't a fastball

Now you guys see what I mean.

Shall we call him Mr. Surprise?
I blame Peter Gammons, frankly.

He talked about how great Rodriguez was during ST. Same shit he pulled with Bobby Crosby way back when.

I always blame Andrew Jackson Gammons

actually I like him a lot.

ouch

what was that a 90 MPH curve?

Gameday has it at 81.
GD is behind for me for some reason

but thanks

lol. Wow.

He really has no idea where it’s going when he throws it.

heat is nice, but control is nice too
Seems pretty simple to me:

Shelve the breaking stuff, throw fastballs, command them.

Maybe try a cutter?
Or as PT and DFA would say,

fiat them.

fiant
I know!

Quite an etymological journey. Apparently they’ve turned it back into a verb again.

That's not a debate neologism, FWIW

It goes back to when I was debating in high school 25 years ago, and long before that.

That's good news.

It suggests it is limited to the debate world and not spreading.

Maybe Geren was right not to put HRod in with an 8-run lead
I was about to say
we lead?
Are we Texas?

or are we sucky?

I think a little of both.
YAY A STRIKE!!!!!
Someday I really do hope he learns how to pitch
someday soon would be nice
and field first base.
I can hear some hecklers having a field day near the TV mic
No more Patterson at 2B, please

Though the throw looked like it was there

That was Crosby's fault first, then HRod's
bobby thought he was at SS
Big defensive fail
OMG, that sucked
Now I understand why Geren didn't use him yesterday.

We might not have held that lead.

Really should be Rodriguez's error
Patterson is an amazingly bad fielder, actually

When he plays 2B, he almost never does anything well.

fixed it

When he plays 2B, he almost never does anything well

sarcasm fail

should have said when he plays.

We got it.....

we’re good at sarcasm!!

I'm good at parcheesi
Not that my point doesn't stand in general, but...

That wasn’t Patterson’s fault.

I'd give the error to Asdrubal Cabrera
i said left field, not right
LOOK HENRY, I ONLY HAVE ONE THING TO SAY TO YOU.

STRIKE THIS MOTHER FUCKER OUT.

Thank you.
Can I say something or

is this just a conversation you’re having with yourself mikev?

Well, you just went and ruined it. Do whatever, I guess.
that's why I'm here to ruin your night
You should have said that to the first three hitters
Is it considered shameful to know that quote?
I hope not. Everybody knows it, don't they?
I even know the TV version...

STRIKE THIS {guy} OUT

I can only speak for myself

And, yes absolutely. But, I have to admit shame in watching that. It was profoundly terrible in every way.

You bite your tongue.

It’s the best baseball movie ever.

Yeah if I was 7 & had pimples
bull durham is
thats 3rd

after major league and the natural.

No

It goes Bull Durham, The Natural then Major League.

8 Men Out
oh yea, love that one
I didn't like 8 men out

But, I think t he whole Black Sox thing is mostly bullshit anyway.

1) John Sayles
2) Studs Terkel
3) John Cusack, not phoning it in

I love Jon Cusack.

Any chick flick with Jon Cusack is an automatic win.

Say Anything
Ione Skye was hot
Ione Skye's hottest moment

was in The River’s Edge.

I know it’s totally pervy to say that, but it’s true.

Never saw that

Maybe I should.

Yes.

And if the co-star happens to be on my fantasy team, so much the better.

What about The Dream Team?
The Dream Team is boring
It's not in with the greats but

I thought it was pretty funny

I was thinking of the basketball team sorry

LOL. Yeah, that was a pretty funny movie all things considered.

I like movies about looney ppl!
I've seen One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest

That wasn’t that interesting. So I don’t know if loony people do it for me. On the other hand, I don’t think the Godfather trilogy was anything but boring.

Cuckoos Nest..best movie ever
In found Cuckoo's Nest fascinating......

but I like observing and trying to figure out people’s motivations. It was such a statement on the mental health system and all that is wrong with it…..

What isn't wrong with anything in the US at this point?

Besides Google.

Of the ones I remember,

I too vote for Bull Durham.

No. It should be a requirement for any baseball fan
Even though it was a profoundly awful movie?
Yes
I know it...

…but I find that unfortunate. Little Big League was a more entertaining movie to me personally.

And you are a blasphemer
Proud to have a use finally
I put Major League behind stuff like Field of Dreams and Bull Durham...

…but it’s a fun movie with some great lines.

no.

1. Major League
2. The Natural
3. Bull Durham
4. Field of Dreams
5. The Sandlot

This is indisputable.

but crash davis is yummy
yep
You don't exactly have discerning tastebuds
that's a good point
Strikeout's are boring!

Besides that’s their fascist. Throw some more groundballs; they’re more democratic.

Well, I believe...
#2

Is it a blasphemous cop-out to say I enjoyed the book much better, as cliché as that is?

Bad News Bears
8 Men Out (already mentioned upthread)

Also, I haven’t seen the film about Scoot, but everyone says it’s great.

oh yea bad news bears, wow you're coming up with some good ones
Also, there's the Brady Bunch episode with Don Drysdale

That one’s a classic.

Bad News Bears is a classic

I totally forgot about that!

Major League is so funny

But the last half of it is really stupid when you get down to it.

It's not meant to be taken seriously!
Did I say I took it seriously?

I said it was funny. I just thought the last half of the movie wasn’t as funny as the first half.

Hello, Joe Thornton and Slappy
WORST commercial ever
I laughed at it

It’s supposed to be bad, I think.

oh man, not one shot of trav

hopefully he’ll get an at bat

They showed him at the start of the inning
Results be damned, that was the most fun I've had this game.
Okay.....5 runs now and 5 runs in the 9th

or some combination of the same.

Well, ok.

Congrats, Hen. I think.

so is it...

hen-rod? h-rod? or something else…

I call him Mr. Surprise
I just like calling him Henry.
Rally Christina: once more, with feeling

meow
So are you a redhead then, OAH?
no brunette withblond highlights, people mistake me for blonde but i hold on to my brunette status
brunettes are cool
so are blondes
and redheads
and bald woman

i mean…

I love women who love balding men
bald guys are hot
you might be perfect OakA'sHoney
no one's perfect, i also like curly hair
OK 9.9 then
then of course the wild man travis look
I could pull that look off 10 years ago
bald is hot don't worry
cool
Patrick Stewart
Patrick Stewart is hella hawt.

A good friend’s ex-wife majored in theater, and she used to tell a great story about him.

Stewart had given some sort of workshop and at the end took questions. Someone asked him what was his secret to staying so youthful. In his luscious baritone voice and impeccable British accent, he answered: “Lots of fucking.”

That's a fantastic mental image.

Not…no, of him saying it.

I shaved my head yesterday
Hot bald guy list...

Ed Harris

He was fab in Stepmom. I mean....
I'm sure Stepmom is Ed's proudest moment

as a actor

getting it on with JR? Well yeah.
That's true

I’ve had a thing for her since I was still a teenager

And freaky goth chicks with blue and purple hair.
and cher!

oh wait…

If RRS were here, and about five years cleverer,

he would say, “I want to hold on to your brunette status.”

just a little lower now christina...
iglew have I said how much I love you?
[that's not actually a picture of iglew]
Words schmerds. I want diamonds.
I think I'll wait until you meet my parents first
yea iglew you're sexy in that photo
these photos are sexually confusing me
We aim to please!
this is the difference between men and women

one of the ladies posts a shirtless guy and the rest of us guys ignore it. christina hendricks and the girls are like “hey bi isn’t so bad”

The guys say that too.

I mean about girls and bi not being so bad.

as soon as i catch site of buck the confusion will end, until then enjoy my confusion
It's not your confusion we want to enjoy...
I'm taking down all pictures of Buck on the internet right now
My apologies.

What's Ron Howard doing with a bat?
"YOU'RE THINKING WITH YOUR DIPSTICK!!"
Unless it's sexy Chavvy.

He’s hawt.

Sex should always be confusing.

If it’s not, you’re not doing it right.

If by confusing you mean dehydrating.
I try to get as much practice as I can
I was told to "practice safe sex".

I’ve been practicing and practicing, but I’m still not any good at it.

good or bad I always have a good time
in catholic school

they teach you the rhythm method. works much better.

Nuns teaching sex

sounds like the blind leading the blind

Catholic girls start much too late.
but damn they make up for it.
i went to catholic high school for a semester, it was very cool to wear our kilts short
sigh....
i left after a semester, didn't like the nuns or the school
Did you keep the skirt?
no, it was grey and green, would've been better with blue or red in it
and the buzz is killed.
sorry, but it was a short skirt
ok that helps a little
Dude, that helps a LOT.

What color panties, that’s what I want to know.

Fail.

There shouldn’t be any. Jeeze.

Oh, yes.

White.

continue
tiny, lace edged,
i like where this is heading
White is good.

Simple cotton bikini briefs are awesome.

Not into lace. Blech.

yea who has time to put on those
I think i love you
You can always count on a breeze too
you guys wore kilts??
you know those pleated plaid skirts
i wouldn't have called them kilts

just skirts. they would actually take rulers from the girls’ knees to the bottom of the skirts at my school

they also fought with William Wallace
I'm making a mental picture
We rolled our waste bands.

Nuns hated it!

if some of my female classmates were any indications

word on the street was that they were eager beavers

And

only the good die young….

Rhythm is good.
buck on tv, yahoo finally!
need a couple guys to get on for him to get an AB
i know, crossing my fingers
Oh boy....

my favorite pitcher is in!!

Wow the A's can score.....
I can't believe I've listened to this whole game

Jennifer’s Body just got good!

did you get to see Jennifer's body RRS?

I haven’t seen it yet.

I lied. The movie was good for about 15 seconds.

without seeing jennifer

nothing else in that movie matters

You lied to me?

How can I ever trust you again?

The movie deceived me.

Did you finally see Megan Fox naked?
What movie was she naked in?
Transformers 3 " The Robots get freaky"
I'll have to rent it from Blockbuster one day

She hasn’t gotten naked yet, but she made out with a girl.

Munson sighting
Tell us about him...
No real future with the big club
he has a future with the AARP though
How old is he?
OK.....
Not much to say, I guess ;-)
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!
savor it OAH!

(he may not get another at bat this season)

Esp. after that at bat.....
IS HE BATTING???
If you could call it that
smelling salts for OAH
Looks like my computer will survive.

First time since the SB Nation upgrade I made it through an entire game thread without having to shut down.
