Thusfar it's Kennedy, not Kendrick or Kendry, taking the helm -- Adam is taking it to his former team on both sides of the ball and despite the best CF efforts of Torii Hunter, gatherer (and with a niiiice two-out knock from Daric Barton) we're 2-0 A's with Gio sailing beautifully along through 5 1/2.

WELCOME FRIENDS!!!
emperor nobody - September 25, 2009
Just in, what did I miss?
JJ Martin - September 25, 2009
well first there was this giant boom
sirbed - September 25, 2009
Stomper crushed the rally monkey?
JJ Martin - September 25, 2009
I was told there would be garlic bread
Daniel777 - September 25, 2009
We should be proud of ourselves
I didn’t think we’d get to a second thread
sirbed - September 25, 2009
Ahhhhh
Fosse went to Disneyland with his grandson…..
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
What did he eat?
Nick - September 25, 2009
Fossecakes
ElQuesoCapitan - September 25, 2009
whatever was free
bashbro89 - September 25, 2009
I bet if we listen close enough he might just cover that!!
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
Siddown!
Nick - September 25, 2009
okay but you didn't have to yell at me
sirbed - September 25, 2009
Strickout!
ElQuesoCapitan - September 25, 2009
yay strickout
doctorK - September 25, 2009
f!
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
g!
sirbed - September 25, 2009
ugly
doctorK - September 25, 2009
That's NO GOOD.
ElQuesoCapitan - September 25, 2009
Damn, they woulda had him at 3rd
Nick - September 25, 2009
Wow, close play at third! Aybar with an exciting triple.
jdub69 - September 25, 2009
Ruh roh
Daniel777 - September 25, 2009
Crap
Was that a soccer move by Gio to trap the ball??
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
if it was boring then it was a soccer move
sirbed - September 25, 2009
what a minute......we have some fans here!
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
looks like it hit Aybar??
bashbro89 - September 25, 2009
yep
buddahead9 - September 25, 2009
That's what I thought too
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
Yup
Nick - September 25, 2009
Anything in the rules about that at all?
I’m guessing not.
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
No, unless he does it deliberately
Nick - September 25, 2009
A's infield back. Good.
Nick - September 25, 2009
Agree
Any ball in play will score Aybar, so play for an out.
doctorK - September 25, 2009
how about a 1-2-3 DP
ElQuesoCapitan - September 25, 2009
That would only happen if Aybar was a total moron and Abreu fell down running to first
doctorK - September 25, 2009
We like to imagine that happening
ElQuesoCapitan - September 25, 2009
We need a K -right now!!!
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
you said it
jdub69 - September 25, 2009
I'll take another one!
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
Apparently, Australians prefer their sports championship games
when they’re preceded by 50+ year-old dudes singing cheesy rock songs before the match.
Nick - September 25, 2009
Let's see what Gio is made of.
JJ Martin - September 25, 2009
Mostly water
Nick - September 25, 2009
garlic bread and sunflower seeds?
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
Fantastic curve ball from Goo. Strikeout!
jdub69 - September 25, 2009
Gio
jdub69 - September 25, 2009
That makes him earthy.
JJ Martin - September 25, 2009
Ice water, that is
doctorK - September 25, 2009
mostly water
sirbed - September 25, 2009
Full count!
jdub69 - September 25, 2009
Gets him SWINGING.....
bashbro89 - September 25, 2009
gio!
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
yay strickout
doctorK - September 25, 2009
Say hello to Uncle Charlie, Bobby!
Nick - September 25, 2009
STRICKOUT
ElQuesoCapitan - September 25, 2009
Vlad FAIL
doctorK - September 25, 2009
And I for one am happy for it!!!!
Whew…..lets put some distsnce between our score and theirs.
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
nice job Gio
buddahead9 - September 25, 2009
Yeah! Vlad pops out!
Nick - September 25, 2009
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
ElQuesoCapitan - September 25, 2009
Gio still has a shutout going. Yeah!!
jdub69 - September 25, 2009
Unless it's the Saints, I don't want to hear any more Australians singing before the footie match
Nick - September 25, 2009
I don't want to see anymore of that damn Paul Hogan!
sirbed - September 25, 2009
Wow nice job Gio
(Thumbs up)
Daniel777 - September 25, 2009
Yay!
lynnzgal - September 25, 2009
We can make the thumb appear......I did my part
C’mon AN
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
could we have more of this Gio from now on?
I like this Gio model
cityplANner - September 25, 2009
cityplANner - September 25, 2009
it's rough and ready to roll!
sirbed - September 25, 2009
Add on, plz
doctorK - September 25, 2009
oh god dibbs
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
I'm thinking we need to discover some new fantastic snack that they can love in the booth!
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
why do they get dibbs and the players get seeds?
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
Because they had first dibs...
wacchampions - September 25, 2009
ha
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
No freezers in the dugout??
really I have no idea. They probably have them in the clubhouse.
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
Raise your hand if you couldn't see that coming from a mile away...
wacchampions - September 25, 2009
Gio is such a model of consistency.
Nico - September 25, 2009
He's the Gio LX model tonight
sirbed - September 25, 2009
Haha!
The cap on the glove with the jersey!
Hilar!
lynnzgal - September 25, 2009
This is much better
Than that Gio Metro…
Hit4TheCycle - September 25, 2009
thanks, doctorK
i was left behind!!!
Deborah51 - September 25, 2009
Me too!
lynnzgal - September 25, 2009
we're safe now
Deborah51 - September 25, 2009
Sighs.
lynnzgal - September 25, 2009
(resists urge to post 'Left Behind' link
doctorK - September 25, 2009
Patterson is really hitting well these days
Nick - September 25, 2009
Showed up a little late - but at least he showed up!
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
Patterson on Fire
8 for his last 12 ab’s
bashbro89 - September 25, 2009
Bye bye Weaver
Hello Bulger
doctorK - September 25, 2009
...
Nick - September 25, 2009
Is that a bulger in the game or are you just happy to se me?
wacchampions - September 25, 2009
E-Pat, hot!
Who knew?
lynnzgal - September 25, 2009
RRS did
sirbed - September 25, 2009
Yep!
The kid is good!
lynnzgal - September 25, 2009
i figured he was saying that to be anti-buck
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
I think Patterson has been reading AN, made the changes we suggested and became a major league hitter.
JJ Martin - September 25, 2009
He ripped that fastball right there
Nick - September 25, 2009
That's the shortest swing I've seen him put on a decent fastball
Maybe Skaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalan’s been working with him?
Nico - September 25, 2009
you can hear loud annoying fans
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
ya not like games in Oakland
sirbed - September 25, 2009
you can hear crickets
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
In Anaheim, you can hear rats
Nick - September 25, 2009
In space no one can hear you scream
sirbed - September 25, 2009
Pretty much the same thing.
lynnzgal - September 25, 2009
Song about that, sorta
here.
Nick - September 25, 2009
or the ones in my living room
bashbro89 - September 25, 2009
Are you referring to loud, annoying or fans?
JJ Martin - September 25, 2009
If this is the real EPat, we might have a valuable commodity on our hands
cityplANner - September 25, 2009
valuable commodity
you and your fancy word talking
sirbed - September 25, 2009
Hi
JLaff - September 25, 2009
Hi...hope you're having a great evening
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
Not so much... hoping the game at least goes well
JLaff - September 25, 2009
Sorry to hear that......hey at least it's FRIDAY!!
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
hi JLaff
emperor nobody - September 25, 2009
Hi pumpkin!
lynnzgal - September 25, 2009
Hello sweetie!
Can’t wait for next weekend!
JLaff - September 25, 2009
I know!
Our last tailgate! Can you believe it?
lynnzgal - September 25, 2009
There’s nothing like the walk-off sacrifice fly.
Rated-R Superstar - September 25, 2009
nothing?
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
truly there is nothing quite like it
sirbed - September 25, 2009
well damn guess i've been missing out
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
I agree RRS
only the walkoff fielder’s choice rivals it for pure baseball exhiliaration.
emperor nobody - September 25, 2009
But the commonality is the walk-off.......
Walk-offs are more than exciting….they’re exhiliarating
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
Thank you, Mathis!
Nick - September 25, 2009
k.
I like signs.
Signs like me.
I think I’ll go and climb a tree.
And shout from the tops how joyfully,
That I love signs and they love me.
Wee.
Leopold Bloom - September 25, 2009
u ♥ signs?
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
I thought poets weren't allowed on AN
sirbed - September 25, 2009
Do you use a lot of chemicals in the sign-making process, LB?
Nick - September 25, 2009
LOL
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
probably just cough syrup
sirbed - September 25, 2009
You are for sure a sign monkey.
lynnzgal - September 25, 2009
I like Geren putting the prssure on the Halos
bashbro89 - September 25, 2009
Nice screwball by Mathis
doctorK - September 25, 2009
Thanks Mathis again.
buddahead9 - September 25, 2009
Love it!!
Nick - September 25, 2009
sLOLegnA
doctorK - September 25, 2009
mathis is hot
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
oh yeah... throw that ball around
Speed does funny things to defense
bashbro89 - September 25, 2009
It must be hot in Socal?
wacchampions - September 25, 2009
It's always hot in hell
doctorK - September 25, 2009
Excellent repost....
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
that's a big run
let’s get more
Deborah51 - September 25, 2009
SB, E-2, E- 2 = run
bashbro89 - September 25, 2009
Chances Are
That Mathis will blow it =)
emperor nobody - September 25, 2009
how obscure emperor
and a uh…blown joke as well
sirbed - September 25, 2009
Look....at me....
ak_A - September 25, 2009
Because Johnny doesn't?
lynnzgal - September 25, 2009
YAY MORE RUNS
ElQuesoCapitan - September 25, 2009
It's like we've swapped offenses for the night.
JJ Martin - September 25, 2009
Let's not let them in on the secret, k?
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
I'm locking it up and throwing away the key.
JJ Martin - September 25, 2009
hopefully its like that for the rest of the year
buddahead9 - September 25, 2009
Fab Rajai!
lynnzgal - September 25, 2009
mvp....mvp...mvp
13 hit streak
bashbro89 - September 25, 2009
mvp of what?
sirbed - September 25, 2009
our hearts
cityplANner - September 25, 2009
of the world
rhymeswithelephant - September 25, 2009
lets say.... uh...
The A’s….. whoelse?
bashbro89 - September 25, 2009
That Davis hit streak continues with a double!
jdub69 - September 25, 2009
Rajai!
ElQuesoCapitan - September 25, 2009
C'mon Swooney - you can do better than that
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
That was a brutal swing
doctorK - September 25, 2009
Get him in Sweeney
jdub69 - September 25, 2009
twis
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
laughs
jdub69 - September 25, 2009
That was not a very confident swing from Sweeney...
wacchampions - September 25, 2009
Yay Super Rajai
Daniel777 - September 25, 2009
that is 13 for Rajai Davis
emperor nobody - September 25, 2009
Was this crowd promised fireworks?
Or is the rivalry alive and well?
Hit4TheCycle - September 25, 2009
It's in Anaheim what else is there to do?
sirbed - September 25, 2009
I WANT to see that!! again.....
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
That was a terrible at bat by Sweeney!!
wacchampions - September 25, 2009
All sliders
He just couldn’t pick up on ’em
cityplANner - September 25, 2009
lincecum out, giants losing in 9th
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
Good.
Rated-R Superstar - September 25, 2009
bye Giants
sirbed - September 25, 2009
i knew that would make you happy
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
Okay with me, too.
lynnzgal - September 25, 2009
lost cause
ak_A - September 25, 2009
If they don't pull this one out, they're sunk
Not only will they be 5 games back of the Rox, but two back of the Braves.
doctorK - September 25, 2009
who?
bashbro89 - September 25, 2009
who else
sirbed - September 25, 2009
touche
bashbro89 - September 25, 2009
The best part about this Gio performance
no BBs
in years past, that’d be par for the course w/ the Angels, but they take their walks this year. Go Gio!
cityplANner - September 25, 2009
I agree BB's hurt
I got shot by some and they sting
sirbed - September 25, 2009
i got shot by a bb gun as a kid, in my behind, hurt like hell
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
yep my stepsister got me
if she couldn’t kick my ass I would have gotten after her
sirbed - September 25, 2009
He has also got out of some hairy situations
Earlier in the year he did not have the focus or concentration to throw strikes and get out of those type of situations.
bashbro89 - September 25, 2009
Jinx
doctorK - September 25, 2009
Awww
ElQuesoCapitan - September 25, 2009
oops
when you throw your rotten fruit at me, just stay away from the face…
cityplANner - September 25, 2009
Darn.....doesn;t it always happen as soon as one mentions it!!
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
yay gio!
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
one thing i like about gio is
he curves the bill of his hat, unlike anderson and cahill.
Deborah51 - September 25, 2009
anderson looks like a hobo or clown or drunk
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
how about a drunk hobo clown?
sirbed - September 25, 2009
there you go
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
In the big rock candy mountain...
Nick - September 25, 2009
Charaaaarlie
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
tryin2bgangsta
ElQuesoCapitan - September 25, 2009
YES.
ElQuesoCapitan - September 25, 2009
the little things are important
Deborah51 - September 25, 2009
clap..clap..clap.... for Gio
bashbro89 - September 25, 2009
Stands up!
lynnzgal - September 25, 2009
good game gio
i do not hate you tonight
Deborah51 - September 25, 2009
here comes the sausage
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
mmm sausage by Johnny Mathis
sirbed - September 25, 2009
i'll take the catcher mathis
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
i like that he made errors that gave us a run
Deborah51 - September 25, 2009
Chances are...
lynnzgal - September 25, 2009
that made me laugh
Deborah51 - September 25, 2009
Took me a while to figure this out
well done
doctorK - September 25, 2009
I like my Wuertz a little on the medium side.
lynnzgal - September 25, 2009
there are wuertz ways to have it
sirbed - September 25, 2009
KO or DP
We’ll take either
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
Sit down!
jdub69 - September 25, 2009
Siddown bitch
doctorK - September 25, 2009
Morales no A's killer tonight
jdub69 - September 25, 2009
Wuertz strangles the Halos!
emperor nobody - September 25, 2009
i know not what to say
Deborah51 - September 25, 2009
Has that pic made an appearance in a game thread before or is it a rookie??
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
do I have to respond to this...
ElQuesoCapitan - September 25, 2009
I'll take 2LBS of that, in honor of the 2k'S
bashbro89 - September 25, 2009
I can say... OH MY...
ElQuesoCapitan - September 25, 2009
that's enough to put me off sausages
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
TWSS
Daniel777 - September 25, 2009
Nothing puts me off sausages.
lynnzgal - September 25, 2009
except maybe sausages with cheese?
ElQuesoCapitan - September 25, 2009
How would that be wrong?
lynnzgal - September 25, 2009
dunno, it sounded dirty.
ElQuesoCapitan - September 25, 2009
So good, then?
lynnzgal - September 25, 2009
Perhaps. Depends on your mood I guess.
Sometimes a little dirty sounds pretty good.
ElQuesoCapitan - September 25, 2009
cheddarwurst
it’s awful, yet amazing
cityplANner - September 25, 2009
Käsekrainer
Love ’em
doctorK - September 25, 2009
Delush!
lynnzgal - September 25, 2009
I have to try that one day.
ElQuesoCapitan - September 25, 2009
switching sides then huh?
sirbed - September 25, 2009
she did have a thing for rally christina
Deborah51 - September 25, 2009
never
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
Siddown BITCH
doctorK - September 25, 2009
Is that THE Howie Kendrick??
wacchampions - September 25, 2009
oh yeah!
Deborah51 - September 25, 2009
wuertz is a beast
ElQuesoCapitan - September 25, 2009
Weurtz = K machine!
jdub69 - September 25, 2009
Closing in on triple digits for Ks
Nico - September 25, 2009
Hey, Mr. Michael Wuertz how could you be so mean?
They told you you’d be sorry for inventing that machine
Now all the AL’s hitters will never more be seen
They’ll all be ground to sausages in Michael Wuertz’ machine!
Nick - September 25, 2009
can you do another lovely buck poem?
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
I have to await inspiration from the Muse
Nick - September 25, 2009
i know there hasn't been many shots of him in the dugout tonight
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
YUM!
lynnzgal - September 25, 2009
♥ IT
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
I like an LAAOA's shut out.
lynnzgal - September 25, 2009
he's either going to be a very nice part of the bullpen
or he’s going to be part of a very good trade.
Wuertz has really added value to himself this season
cityplANner - September 25, 2009
If we vote tonight......
we’re keeping him??
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
i vote yes
Deborah51 - September 25, 2009
yea, why is it always about trading people?
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
welcome to Oakland A's fandom
we root for laundry
sirbed - September 25, 2009
How long have you been an A's fan?
it’s a long story…..
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
He's a keeper
jdub69 - September 25, 2009
so he's a valuable commodity then?
sirbed - September 25, 2009
one might say that
if one was feeling particularly verbose
cityplANner - September 25, 2009
If your going to trade him, wait until the end of next inning.
bashbro89 - September 25, 2009
Add on Jack!
lynnzgal - September 25, 2009
PR for Cust here?
Nick - September 25, 2009
Be nice to get some here..... Insurance
Angels are a good hitting team…..
bashbro89 - September 25, 2009
Dale's gettin that average up!
ElQuesoCapitan - September 25, 2009
Let's get that homer ellie
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
2 on after Barton hit. 1 out, Ellis with warning track power up.
jdub69 - September 25, 2009
Add on plz
doctorK - September 25, 2009
Line drive home run for ellis. RIGHT NOW
ElQuesoCapitan - September 25, 2009
Let's go Off-ense
Daniel777 - September 25, 2009
Wrong time, bro.
ElQuesoCapitan - September 25, 2009
wat
Daniel777 - September 25, 2009
Chavez has a playoff beard?
wacchampions - September 25, 2009
more like the Mr. Mom I'm unemployed beard
sirbed - September 25, 2009
does it look good on him?
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
Everything looks good on him.
lynnzgal - September 25, 2009
Its time Markellis!
lynnzgal - September 25, 2009
BAW
ElQuesoCapitan - September 25, 2009
Aw
ElQuesoCapitan - September 25, 2009
Wuertz staying in?
bashbro89 - September 25, 2009
Didn't see if anyone was warming up
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
I think Ziggy was up earlier
Nick - September 25, 2009
rated-r, what time and channel is the cal game tomorrow?
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
Grrrr!
lynnzgal - September 25, 2009
still love the bears, even though I'm a student at USC now
I love that they’re ranked above the Trojans for the time being
cityplANner - September 25, 2009
Seeing Bill Romanowski on my TV makes me desire to hurl
doctorK - September 25, 2009
oh my
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
That guy is psycho.
lynnzgal - September 25, 2009
Mark McGwire is a pariah, no one respects Raphael Palmeiro any more
and neither of them ever bashed a teammate’s face in in a roid rage.
Why does anyone pay attention to Romo any more?
Nick - September 25, 2009
fear
sirbed - September 25, 2009
whatchoo talkin' 'bout Willits?
emperor nobody - September 25, 2009
DP - plz
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
YES!
lynnzgal - September 25, 2009
Strikeout even better. 1 Out!

sirbed - September 25, 2009
oh you how sweet
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
Is it the sausage?

LibrariAN - September 25, 2009

bashbro89 - September 25, 2009
Love him!
Our ROY!
lynnzgal - September 25, 2009
I thought his name was Andrew
sirbed - September 25, 2009
It's Andrew Roy Bailey
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
I like Roy Hobbs and Roy Scheider better
sirbed - September 25, 2009
I don't!
lynnzgal - September 25, 2009
Bailey is going to have be better for more than one season

Rated-R Superstar - September 25, 2009
Has he been turning white this season?
doctorK - September 25, 2009
i don't know. it;s something about his face.
Deborah51 - September 25, 2009
Wearing a glove on one hand for no apparent reason?
JJ Martin - September 25, 2009

Deborah51 - September 25, 2009

BERRYJO - September 25, 2009

Deborah51 - September 25, 2009

JJ Martin - September 25, 2009

Oh sweet dreams
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
Hmmm
I guess my joke was about as effective as normal
sirbed - September 25, 2009
i'm obviously clueless
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
or very tired
LibrariAN - September 25, 2009
I'm JK too
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
Sweet dreams
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
are made of these
sirbed - September 25, 2009
Who am I to disagree?
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
I believe that song came out 26 years ago
In other words, halfway between now and when Buddy Holly was still alive.
Nick - September 25, 2009
Wow - I AM old!!
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
Join the club
Although I prefer to think that I’m not old — I’ve just been alive for a long time.
Nick - September 25, 2009
How old? Do you remember when they used to serve the beers at the game
OLD Milwaukee In a tall Cup and give the little plastic ones to drink from?
bashbro89 - September 25, 2009
Yeah kind of.....
not a beer drinker – but I think I remember seeing that.
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
Been going to games since my teens in the early 70's
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
Your not old..... Just calibrating : )
bashbro89 - September 25, 2009
I like the way you think!!
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
by calibrating with beer memories
bashbro89 - September 25, 2009
sounds about right
but I am NOT old
sirbed - September 25, 2009
1983 according to wikipedia
gee, seems like yesterday
Deborah51 - September 25, 2009
1991 Marilyn Manson
frightfully bad version
LibrariAN - September 25, 2009
of you,
things I know will never come true.
lynnzgal - September 25, 2009
Why can't I forget the past
start loving someone new.
lynnzgal - September 25, 2009
you can
i do in my head every day
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
Haha!
Channeling Patsy Cline.
lynnzgal - September 25, 2009
Instead of having sweet dreams
about you.
lynnzgal - September 25, 2009
Why's everybody going to bed so early....
our game is not until 6 tomorrow – plenty of time to sleep. ;-)
Darn those time zones anyway!
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
it's almost midnight where I am
but I’m still here fighting the good fight
sirbed - September 25, 2009
YEah!! That's what I like in an NRAF
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
Diet Coke helps
plus I like to stay up until my girlfriend gets home from work
sirbed - September 25, 2009
That's nice. You're in KS?
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
Nope I went to college in Kansas

OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009

sirbed - September 25, 2009
Oregon.
Rated-R Superstar - September 25, 2009
bears will eat those ducks
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
I’m pumped.
Rated-R Superstar - September 25, 2009
You'd think a bear could beat a duck
and I know a Raider can beat a Bronco
sirbed - September 25, 2009
Do they PLAY sac state? I dont; think they do
That’d be UCD
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
Don't take anything I write seriously
sirbed - September 25, 2009
OK.....
are you the Jayhawk? Be serious for a minute…plz
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
class of 1997
sirbed - September 25, 2009
That's what I thought....just wanted to be sure I have my connections straight!
I went to Lawrence for some training a couple of summers.
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
I love Lawrence but the rest of Kansas is uh....flat
sirbed - September 25, 2009
so true...
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
Woohooo!
I’m so watching that. So’s I can flog my boss in my mind.
lynnzgal - September 25, 2009
hey ooo!
sirbed - September 25, 2009
True story
I had a friend in Iowa – her initials were ASM. She married a guy whose last name started with S. Several of us tried to convince her to drop her middle name once she married and take her maiden name as her new middle name, but she was adamant about keeping things as-is. I should’ve got them a set up monogrammed towels: TAS and ASS.
doctorK - September 25, 2009

jdub69 - September 25, 2009

OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
Well, I can’t regress.
Rated-R Superstar - September 25, 2009
That's a positive spin RR
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
Yeah, I was just thinking that.
Rated-R Superstar - September 25, 2009
Great minds.....
;-)
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
I'm batting a thousand baby!
sirbed - September 25, 2009
Fungoes don't count
Nick - September 25, 2009
how about Brunettes?
sirbed - September 25, 2009
I always strike out swinging with brunettes.
Rated-R Superstar - September 25, 2009
I caught one 7(!) years ago
sirbed - September 25, 2009
i will be in about 2 hours
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
Want a Zookie bomb here
doctorK - September 25, 2009
I DID.......oh well maybe tomrrow
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009

ElQuesoCapitan - September 25, 2009

Nick - September 25, 2009

OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
Baby, baby, please let hold him.
I want make him make signs all night.
Sister, sister, he’s just a plaything.
I wanna make him make signs all night.
Leopold Bloom - September 25, 2009

Deborah51 - September 25, 2009

sirbed - September 25, 2009

sirbed - September 25, 2009
Vlad Guerrero
Has never met a pitch he didn’t like to swing at.
Hit4TheCycle - September 25, 2009
Cliff's been having trouble in the field lately
Nick - September 25, 2009

jdub69 - September 25, 2009

Deborah51 - September 25, 2009

OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
Not the time to do that Cliff
bashbro89 - September 25, 2009
Ah geez, another E6
doctorK - September 25, 2009
What the...? E6.
jdub69 - September 25, 2009

Moneypenny
buddahead9 - September 25, 2009

ElQuesoCapitan - September 25, 2009
A's E's and Wuertz Ks
Nick - September 25, 2009
Let's hope that doesn;t come back to haunt us.
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
Ya know, I kinda like it when OUR closer points up at a fly ball
doctorK - September 25, 2009
Pull head out of arse
Pennington.
2 outs to go.
Trainman - September 25, 2009
He's started pretty much every day since the OCab trade
Not that I want to see Crosby at SS, but it wouldn’t be a big surprise if Pennington were a bit tired.
Nick - September 25, 2009
Yay home in time!!
Was watching on our new “toy” in the conf room at work :-D
cuppingmaster - September 25, 2009

ElQuesoCapitan - September 25, 2009

cuppingmaster - September 25, 2009
Bailey brings the heat! Strikeout.
jdub69 - September 25, 2009
AB has dimpled cuteness
Deborah51 - September 25, 2009
AB has hunky goodness!
lynnzgal - September 25, 2009
if we're talking as pitchers, i'll take that naughty looking braden with his nipple ring
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
It just amazes me how different our pitchers look now.
Chunky, Tall, skinny, freaky!
I love it!
lynnzgal - September 25, 2009
but they are young, cahill looks like he's in high school
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
well maybe junior college
sirbed - September 25, 2009
no, he looks like he has homework to do
and his mom packs his lunch
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
I'm going to flunk him if he doesn't get better
sirbed - September 25, 2009
strickout!
ElQuesoCapitan - September 25, 2009
hey! it's my birthday, and we're winning!
This must mean that I am a good luck charm. Absolutely.
whiteshoes40 - September 25, 2009

Deborah51 - September 25, 2009
Happy Happy
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
Thanks all!
Nice to come home and see a victory over the Angels. But now it is almost midnight, and my birthday magic is almost gone…
whiteshoes40 - September 25, 2009
You gotta work on stretching the celebration out a few more days!!!
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
Hope not, ws!
Mine went on for the whole weekend. Let’s hope yours does, too!
lynnzgal - September 25, 2009
2 strikes, 2 outs. I want the shutout!
jdub69 - September 25, 2009
We win……on the march to .500 ball this season.
bashbro89 - September 25, 2009
Suck it slegnA!!!!!!!!!!
cuppingmaster - September 25, 2009
Yay!!
wacchampions - September 25, 2009
I love watching the slegnA
LOSE
It just doesn’t happen often enough for my liking
Trainman - September 25, 2009
i was hoping Hudler was the commentator today
it would have made it that much sweeter
cuppingmaster - September 25, 2009
He was on the radio
Him and that idiot Physioc.
Trainman - September 25, 2009
GAME OVER
ElQuesoCapitan - September 25, 2009
YES!!!!
OaklandSi - September 25, 2009
Shut the Halos out! Yes we win
15 out of 19 wins
bashbro89 - September 25, 2009
YES
The Magic Number is one! One more A’s win (or Rangers win) will guarantee the slegnA don’t clinch against us this weekend.
doctorK - September 25, 2009
I like
jdub69 - September 25, 2009
Yes....let's send 'em to clinch in TX??
Could Texas still pull this out??
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
VICTORY
ElQuesoCapitan - September 25, 2009
nice!
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
Ooooooh!
Aaaaah!
lynnzgal - September 25, 2009
i hope the rangers won
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
Yes
They won 8-3
Trainman - September 25, 2009
yay, i want them to win the division or wild card or whatever
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
their chances are about as good as the gnats right now
cuppingmaster - September 25, 2009
oh too bad
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
They won’t win either.
Rated-R Superstar - September 25, 2009
Can't we dream??
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
yes you can
because sweet dreams are made of….(wildcard playoff chances?)
sirbed - September 25, 2009
channeling annie lennox?
cuppingmaster - September 25, 2009
i'd rather watch them in the playoffs than angels
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
it's more fun to watch the slegnA lose
than the Rangers win
cuppingmaster - September 25, 2009
yes can we have both?
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
I'd rather watch football
sirbed - September 25, 2009
Well - tomorrow's your day...
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
I'm more of a NFL guy
KU stunk at football when I was there
sirbed - September 25, 2009
Well there's some of that going on too!!
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
wow only 1 more week of A's baseball, i'll miss chatting with you guys
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
someone said there will be playoff threads
besides, it’s not like AN goes offline in the offseason
cuppingmaster - September 25, 2009
No during the off season I have 15,000 word posts about VORP
sirbed - September 25, 2009
that's not chatting and i don't read those
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
There are postseason gamethreads
and DLDs. Without gamethreads, the DLDs get more attention and comments.
Nick - September 25, 2009
yea but it's more fun to chat about our own players
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
my jokes will be just as bad no matter whose playing
sirbed - September 25, 2009
well maybe i'll join in and ask baseball questions
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
the answer will always be look up their VORP
sirbed - September 25, 2009
LOL
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
i'll give them an answer...
vorp this
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
Bring the ruckus!
Rated-R Superstar - September 25, 2009
will you be in on those threads?
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
Probably.
Rated-R Superstar - September 25, 2009
I'm going to use that
hey vorp this!
sirbed - September 25, 2009
nice
i’ll put that next to those 25 page cancer biology papers i’ve been meaning to read
cuppingmaster - September 25, 2009
I'm too lazy to go look it up...what's VORP?
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
i hope it's something sexy
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
I have a funny feelin'
it’s math related
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
math is yucky
sirbed - September 25, 2009
Value Over Replacement Player
cuppingmaster - September 25, 2009
sounds plausible
sirbed - September 25, 2009
Thats it.
lynnzgal - September 25, 2009
does that in any way relate to buzzhead buck?
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
um maybe?
sirbed - September 25, 2009
good, i'm in
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
seems like the last time he played before this
was around the last time replacements were almost used. 1995.
cuppingmaster - September 25, 2009
you are so mean
can you believe how he starts yesterday, no tv, tv today, no trav….
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
It's a conspiracy
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
geren grrrrr
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
the producer wakes up and says
“What would OAH want?” and then does the opposite
cuppingmaster - September 25, 2009
no kidding
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
he has one of those wristbands
WWOAHW?
cuppingmaster - September 25, 2009

statistics come in handy for something
cuppingmaster - September 25, 2009
I know....I just don't have the mental stamina to try to really GET them
Of course it might have something to do with the fact that I flunked Stats the first time I took it…..but of course going to class might have helped!!
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
hey man I was a history major
math me don’t likey
sirbed - September 25, 2009
for my final report in an experimental stats class
I did monte carlo (repeat simulations) using the 2002-2007 A’s teams. It made me appreciated a) how use they can be and b) how flawed some of what i looked at actually was
cuppingmaster - September 25, 2009
i feel really dumb reading that
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
me too
although to be fair I always feel kind of dumb
sirbed - September 25, 2009
it wasn't really complicated
the program to do all of it was written in 1985 or something. just plugging in a lot of numbers

If you want me to break down Watergate
or the Marshall Plan then I’m your man.

Rated-R Superstar - September 25, 2009

OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
no but i saw frost nixon
that was an awesome movie
cuppingmaster - September 25, 2009
frost / nixon was really good
Dick is this funny film about Nixon and the whole watergate thing, tons of comedic actors in it
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009

cuppingmaster - September 25, 2009
didn't you in college?
OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
always managed to stumble back to my rooom
usually alone, unfortunately
cuppingmaster - September 25, 2009

OakA'sHoney - September 25, 2009
I so beg to differ!
lynnzgal - September 25, 2009

BERRYJO - September 25, 2009

doctorK - September 25, 2009

lynnzgal - September 25, 2009
i didn't bring my extra set of feathers for just such an emergency
like foghorn leghorn taught me to.
cuppingmaster - September 25, 2009
Funny story from me......spilling a banned substance on the floor and leaving it there
b/c well you know. Get up the next morning – it’s gone! Still a mystery!
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
how concentrated was this banned substance
cuppingmaster - September 25, 2009
not very.....it was quite organic if you get my drift!
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
haha nice
as long as you didn’t drink it and go blind
cuppingmaster - September 25, 2009
People have this weird thing
about wanting the public library open on weekends.
LibrariAN - September 25, 2009
At least yours is still there!
lynnzgal - September 25, 2009
AND you still have a job!!
BERRYJO - September 25, 2009
I can't remember the last time I went to the public library
sirbed - September 25, 2009

solanolibrary.com
LibrariAN - September 25, 2009

but I do give away over 100 books a year to my library here in town I just don’t go inside.
sirbed - September 25, 2009
You have that many books to give away?
speckops - September 25, 2009

sirbed - September 25, 2009
