….and his head hit a Florida player’s knee on the way down.
He spent a few minutes out cold and then got up and walked off the field but didn’t return to the game (and was carted off to the hospital before it was over).
I’d assume the equivalent LB or DB on the blitz in the NFL would weigh another 15 pounds, and be faster.
Even really talented RBs careers fall apart after 5 or 6 years all the time because of the pounding they take. It’s not as big a deal for them because if they’re talented they can contribute as rookies. But it might take a QB 3 or 4 years to figure out how to read defenses, etc — if he’s all beaten up by the age of 28 he’s not much good to his team.
I just looked it up. If we can win tonight and tomorrow, Texas can knock them around this week and may take their place.
Boston has one game on LA right now, so they’d have to hope that Boston loses a few so that they could take the wild card in the case that Texas grows a pair.
I’m at the mercy of whoever’s running the mlb.com live look-ins. They gave me part of last inning— Cust’s strikeout and most of Dale’s AB but cut it off before he actually got the hit. They hate me.
But anyway, I’ll see if I can get a look at Travis somehow…
a triple play?
an out on a baserunner being hit with a batted ball?
an appeal (I know this has definitely happened)?
batter stepping outside the batter’s box and hitting the ball?
….there was a whole genre of film in which the protagonist is a total f**k up, who somehow manages to back his way into getting absolutely everything at the end of the film, while paying no cost (and bearing no moral responsibility) for his actual actions.
Ghostbusters fits the bill.
I just saw The Freshman for the first time in years last week, and that film is totally like that.
And the suck increaseth!

Nice intro
Daniel777 - September 26, 2009
yes Nico you are funny, wanna get married?
OakA'sHoney - September 26, 2009
K. I'm busy tomorrow and Monday, but
Tuesday good?
Nico - September 26, 2009
let me check my calendar
oh and please promise me you won’t shave your head without consulting me first, unlike some sunflower seed eating bench warmer
OakA'sHoney - September 26, 2009
Wow, just when RRS thought his day couldn't get any worse
Nick - September 26, 2009
Do we get to see H-Rod, Marshall and Casilla now?
buddahead9 - September 26, 2009
Kilby should have hidden the ball better
Because throwing it was a bad idea.
Nico - September 26, 2009
he's obviously not doing the lucky butt swipe correctly tonight
Deborah51 - September 26, 2009
If we lose this game,
does that clinch a losing season?
iglew - September 26, 2009
A non-winning season
A’s would have 81 losses
doctorK - September 26, 2009
Here's my proposal:
Bring in HRod, and have him throw one of his 100 mph heaters at the 2B ump. His control is bad enough that he can claim it was an accident.
Nick - September 26, 2009
He'd probably throw a strike by mistake.
Nico - September 26, 2009
This is getting somewhat silly, now
bobnothing - September 26, 2009
GreenNGoldSooner - September 26, 2009
Another fragmentation bat
doctorK - September 26, 2009
That broken bat piece almost hit the home plate ump in the eye
Could have blin—
Oh, well, never mind.
Nico - September 26, 2009
Wow....just wow.
Can we get an out please???
BERRYJO - September 26, 2009
Kilby is wearing a blue hat with RH on it on Gameday
Daniel777 - September 26, 2009
oh yeah, so at the Tour de Fat in GGP, which was ostensibly an excuse for fancy dress
There was some kid there in a Vladamir Guerrero CAPE
bobnothing - September 26, 2009
that's the fat tire bike thing?
Deborah51 - September 26, 2009
yeah, it was a lot of fun
the same weather that has turned my appartment into a firepit made for a pleasant afternoon
bobnothing - September 26, 2009
i went to the brewery in ft collins when i visited my sister
the employees had all their bikes parked in front
Deborah51 - September 26, 2009
Well, that's always encouraging. It was good to see so many people enjoying bicycling around
bobnothing - September 26, 2009
At least Texas is winning
A Rangers win guarantees the slegnA will not clinch against the A’s tomorrow.
doctorK - September 26, 2009
good
OakA'sHoney - September 26, 2009
But with 8 more we can win
and Eveland has been removed.
Daniel777 - September 26, 2009
That would be more significant if Kilby were pitching better.
GreenNGoldSooner - September 26, 2009
it's early. we have a chance.
Deborah51 - September 26, 2009
+1
Daniel777 - September 26, 2009
Let's Go Oakland!!!!
BERRYJO - September 26, 2009
I think the deception factor for Kilby has been solved
rather quickly in the last two games he has pitched.
Time to score some runs off horseface
Trainman - September 26, 2009
Well that was fun!
GreenNGoldSooner - September 26, 2009
If you're a masochist!!
BERRYJO - September 26, 2009
I left with us up 2-0.
What the fuck happened?
ElQuesoCapitan - September 26, 2009
Eveland pitching + lousy umping + lousy fielding = A's FAIL
GreenNGoldSooner - September 26, 2009
shit. shit happened.
Deborah51 - September 26, 2009
So basically shit squared then
wacchampions - September 26, 2009
oh ok
ElQuesoCapitan - September 26, 2009
but we're gonna rally and win this one 15-11.
Deborah51 - September 26, 2009
Hopefully Nick will write you a short synopsis
He’s really good at that.

ElQuesoCapitan - September 26, 2009
I'm just funning......
I’m getting ready to leave so any further sucktitude can be my fault til I get back!!
BERRYJO - September 26, 2009
it looks like we got something going here though.
ElQuesoCapitan - September 26, 2009
Let's all karma him a hit.......
BERRYJO - September 26, 2009
I'm off shopping
Comeback victory pls.

Time for a Zook SLAM

Memo to John Lackey:
CLOSE YOUR MOUTH!
GreenNGoldSooner - September 26, 2009
Mouth breathing is so unattractive
BERRYJO - September 26, 2009
and it really upsets dentists too
ohtobe21likehuston - September 26, 2009
The defense from the left side of the infield has not been very good this week
Flashfire - September 26, 2009
you could say it's been abysmal
Deborah51 - September 26, 2009
Just got under it
doctorK - September 26, 2009
Dammit!!
Nick - September 26, 2009
ok, we got one back
Deborah51 - September 26, 2009
Isn't that tonite's game all over?
Almost a grandslam…but not.
GreenNGoldSooner - September 26, 2009
Cust will make it 9-6, dig it.
ElQuesoCapitan - September 26, 2009
I dig!
iglew - September 26, 2009
So true.
Nico - September 26, 2009
TRUE
Englishmajor - September 26, 2009
he waited nicely on that pitch
Deborah51 - September 26, 2009
CHEESY MOJO IN THE HOUSE.
{smile}
ElQuesoCapitan - September 26, 2009
you prophet
OakA'sHoney - September 26, 2009
You are sooooooooo right!
BERRYJO - September 26, 2009
Sweeney should have gone to 2B
Rivera made a looping throw to 3B.
Nico - September 26, 2009
moot point now!!!! yippee!!!!
Deborah51 - September 26, 2009
Yay, run(s)!
I’ve decided that a good achievable goal for the team this season would be to finish with more runs scored than runs allowed.
iglew - September 26, 2009
How are we doing?
BERRYJO - September 26, 2009
I think we're about 10 runs ahead.
I don’t keep careful count day to day, though.
iglew - September 26, 2009
We're four game out of the wildcard, now, so the season's just about done
by my reckoning, anyways
bobnothing - September 26, 2009
And 3 morons just scored!
Nico - September 26, 2009
Groove is in the Heart
Cust a move, now!
BERRYJO - September 26, 2009
oh YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!
OakA'sHoney - September 26, 2009
Is the bad vibe gone now?
iglew - September 26, 2009
Good to see you're enjoying yourself, OAH.
ElQuesoCapitan - September 26, 2009
Whats sad is
it should be 7-6 us now…
buddahead9 - September 26, 2009

LoneStranger - September 26, 2009
Whatever happens from now on, it's just heartwarming to see Lackey pitch so sucktastically
Nick - September 26, 2009
+1,000
GreenNGoldSooner - September 26, 2009
And it's nice how when the A's are down 9-2
you feel it’s not quite over, whereas when we had “good hitters” in the 1st half it felt over at 4-2.
Nico - September 26, 2009
That's because the "good hitters" WEREN'T TRYING!!!!
(kidding!)
GreenNGoldSooner - September 26, 2009
I think it was over at 1-0.
ElQuesoCapitan - September 26, 2009
omg my worls has shattered
travis looks goofy, did you see his ears without hair covering them? i need someone new to lust over….

I’d really like to see Joe Pa and the White House lose this one!
GreenNGoldSooner - September 26, 2009
For the Hannahanafans
I was over at LL reading about Ichiro getting thrown out, and someone mentioned that Jack Hannahan has grown a mustache. No pix though.
Englishmajor - September 26, 2009
He's thugish.
LoneStranger - September 26, 2009
i'd like to see that
OakA'sHoney - September 26, 2009
oh shit, seriously
Jack Hipsterhan?
bobnothing - September 26, 2009
Jack Stannahan
ElQuesoCapitan - September 26, 2009
Not a mustache here, but plenty of stubble
iglew - September 26, 2009
jack is cute
Deborah51 - September 26, 2009

OakA'sHoney - September 26, 2009
I can fix that
ElQuesoCapitan - September 26, 2009

ElQuesoCapitan - September 26, 2009
Very nice!
Englishmajor - September 26, 2009
Awesome.
LoneStranger - September 26, 2009

Deborah51 - September 26, 2009
Jose Hannahan
ElQuesoCapitan - September 26, 2009
cal got spanked today, and not in a good way
will this drop them out of the top 25?
OakA'sHoney - September 26, 2009
Definitely not
Probably drop to #11 or so
ohtobe21likehuston - September 26, 2009
ok good
OakA'sHoney - September 26, 2009
it could be a bit worse
with a lot of teams winning but normally teams don’t fall that fast after they are ranked.
ohtobe21likehuston - September 26, 2009
I'm really intrigued by the idea of
Cal being spanked in a good way.
iglew - September 26, 2009
just spanking in general, good and bad
OakA'sHoney - September 26, 2009
As with everything, it's all about intent and consent
bobnothing - September 26, 2009
who doesn't like a slap on the a$& now and then?!
OakA'sHoney - September 26, 2009
Me.
LoneStranger - September 26, 2009
Ok, that's a lie.
LoneStranger - September 26, 2009
well, now you mention it, it is the fulsom street fair tomorrow
bobnothing - September 26, 2009
They mentioned it was happening on the news on Friday, but didn't explain it.
My mom said that a street fair sounded like fun. I then had to tell her what it was.
LoneStranger - September 26, 2009
Nice weather for it
Although apparently, it’s never too cold or foggy for assless chaps.
Englishmajor - September 26, 2009
ain't that the truth
bobnothing - September 26, 2009
On the plus side, the Ducks' throwback unis....
….were less freakishly fuggly than what they usually don.
GreenNGoldSooner - September 26, 2009
Lackey does not deserve a win
We must score some more to make sure this does not happen.
I am having bad thoughts about what I would like to happen to the slegnA.
Trainman - September 26, 2009
"And Brad Kilby's job is to get the A's back in the dugout as quickly as possible"
Crap!
If his job were “have a weird delivery” I’d be feeling much better.
GreenNGoldSooner - September 26, 2009
c'mon kilby
Deborah51 - September 26, 2009
kilby!
(right back)
cuppingmaster - September 26, 2009
What's up with his butt-whiping maneuver right before he pitches?
This is the first I’ve noticed it.
LoneStranger - September 26, 2009
Uh, that should be wiping, not whipping.
LoneStranger - September 26, 2009
OCD maybe?
LOL
cuppingmaster - September 26, 2009
odd, isn't it?
i never saw anyone do that before
Deborah51 - September 26, 2009
who doesn't like a slap on the a$& now and then?!
GreenNGoldSooner - September 26, 2009
me.
cuppingmaster - September 26, 2009

I don't.

cuppingmaster - September 26, 2009
As the Assemblyman said to the lobbyist
Englishmajor - September 26, 2009
helps him hide the ball
OakA'sHoney - September 26, 2009
Looks like we've at least made a game of it
Hi all
cuppingmaster - September 26, 2009
They might fix that here.
LoneStranger - September 26, 2009
mr kilby. you need one more out. get it NOW!
Deborah51 - September 26, 2009
Figgins hit the ump for us.
buddahead9 - September 26, 2009
i think he should call him out for that
Deborah51 - September 26, 2009
Fletcher never saw it coming
There’s a shocker.
Nico - September 26, 2009
ha! no runs for you suckers.
Deborah51 - September 26, 2009
Wow for once Lackey pitches less than 8 IP against us
cuppingmaster - September 26, 2009
Epat reminds me of Jason McDonald from back in the day
cuppingmaster - September 26, 2009
show me something Epat
ak_A - September 26, 2009
In public?
Nick - September 26, 2009
A pat over the internet. An e-pat.
ElQuesoCapitan - September 26, 2009
Wouldn't that be an iPat?
GreenNGoldSooner - September 26, 2009
Nope, an iPat would be physically inappropriate
ElQuesoCapitan - September 26, 2009
what does an e-buck look like?
OakA'sHoney - September 26, 2009
Pretty much like one of those dudes by himself, but with bigger ears
Nick - September 26, 2009
that's why he needs to grow his hair back
OakA'sHoney - September 26, 2009
something unsafe for posting

napoli is better
someone mentioned it on another thread — not sure why he doesn’t play more often for the slegnA

in that case, I want Jaymee Sire and Kotsay’s wife. isn’t her name Jamie too?

cuppingmaster - September 26, 2009
salty is my main catcher, mathis is back-up, i still need some infielders
OakA'sHoney - September 26, 2009

Leopold Bloom - September 26, 2009
I like you. You're funny.
iglew - September 26, 2009
(sniff sniff)
Leopold Bloom - September 26, 2009
they keep flashing shots in the dugout of Scoscia in LA
“if looks could kill” as they said
cuppingmaster - September 26, 2009
Kinda like
the good old days when they were rivals
streetfan - September 26, 2009
I was just telling my wife a half hour ago how the wild comeback against Minnesota was one of the best games to watch this year.
This one might be up there too.
LoneStranger - September 26, 2009
Way to get the run in, Sweeney!
lol
winchester5 - September 26, 2009
Thus proving why stikeouts are not always a bad thing.
winchester5 - September 26, 2009
Iowa 21 - Penn St 10 (F)
So much for Penn State’s easy march to the mythical BCS Championship Game!
GreenNGoldSooner - September 26, 2009
unfortunately ND came back against Purdue.
Leopold Bloom - September 26, 2009
Yeah that sucked
winchester5 - September 26, 2009
tell me about it.
Leopold Bloom - September 26, 2009
I thought you liked Notre Dame?
ohtobe21likehuston - September 26, 2009
I do.
But…if they were to lose these types of games,and finish, say 5-7…then they’d have to replace Weis, who clearly cannot coach.
Leopold Bloom - September 26, 2009
Unless they get to a BCS in the next season or two hes going to be gone anyway.
winchester5 - September 26, 2009
but if he goes 5-7 THIS season, he's gone right after.
Mediocrity does not sit well.
Leopold Bloom - September 26, 2009
good point.
winchester5 - September 26, 2009
Oh
He is definitely a Bob Geren.
ohtobe21likehuston - September 26, 2009
without a doubt.
He’s an excellent OC, but I wouldn’t put him in charge of my back yard.
Leopold Bloom - September 26, 2009
Did you see that hit on Tebow?
Ouch. Just saw it for the first time.
winchester5 - September 26, 2009
What happened?
Nick - September 26, 2009
Tebow was sacked...
….and his head hit a Florida player’s knee on the way down.
He spent a few minutes out cold and then got up and walked off the field but didn’t return to the game (and was carted off to the hospital before it was over).
GreenNGoldSooner - September 26, 2009
He's gonna get a lot more of that in the NFL
if he doesn’t stop trying to knock tacklers over when he scrambles.
Nick - September 26, 2009
Thats true, but this particular hit he was in the pocket and just held on to the ball to long, never saw the blitzer coming.
winchester5 - September 26, 2009
Yeah, but still
I’d assume the equivalent LB or DB on the blitz in the NFL would weigh another 15 pounds, and be faster.
Even really talented RBs careers fall apart after 5 or 6 years all the time because of the pounding they take. It’s not as big a deal for them because if they’re talented they can contribute as rookies. But it might take a QB 3 or 4 years to figure out how to read defenses, etc — if he’s all beaten up by the age of 28 he’s not much good to his team.
Nick - September 26, 2009
He got nailed from a blitzing OLB. Didn't see it coming.
On the way down hit his head on his own player. Concussion they are saying
winchester5 - September 26, 2009
Every time you watch it...
…you become a better person!
GreenNGoldSooner - September 26, 2009
O U
don’t like him?
ohtobe21likehuston - September 26, 2009
I don't.
But I was refering to the continuing media worshipgasm over Tebow.
GreenNGoldSooner - September 26, 2009
Yeah it is pretty ridiculous.
winchester5 - September 26, 2009
like the Nat'l Championship game
It was ridiculous to hear them praise him that much.
ohtobe21likehuston - September 26, 2009
That is too bad.
But ND basically sux. They’ll win >6 games and make a better bowl than they have any business being in, which will be annoying, but no more than that.
GreenNGoldSooner - September 26, 2009
Sad Valley
Nick - September 26, 2009
hey everyone
hisgoodluckcharm - September 26, 2009
hi don's kin.
Leopold Bloom - September 26, 2009
Don's kins are for doncing.
iglew - September 26, 2009
I laughed
Englishmajor - September 26, 2009
Only a few of us are old enough to remember that.
When was that? 1970s?
iglew - September 26, 2009
My nino said he misses you..I talked to him earlier
hisgoodluckcharm - September 26, 2009
Yeah, I miss him too.
I like him a lot. He’s a good man.
Leopold Bloom - September 26, 2009
Have you told him you were gay yet?
ohtobe21likehuston - September 26, 2009
oh, he knows.
Leopold Bloom - September 26, 2009
Well I'm sure we could have figured it out...
ElQuesoCapitan - September 26, 2009
I’ll let the two of you work this one out.
hisgoodluckcharm - September 26, 2009
Hey you...how are u girl? I havent seen you on here in a while..
wacchampions - September 26, 2009
I'm good
How have you been?
hisgoodluckcharm - September 26, 2009
Im good, I havent seen you at the coliseum either, are u going to the last game of the season for AN day 2?
wacchampions - September 26, 2009
yes
hisgoodluckcharm - September 26, 2009
cool....
wacchampions - September 26, 2009
Hi personthatrrswillhiton
ElQuesoCapitan - September 26, 2009
speaking of RRS...
Where is he?
hisgoodluckcharm - September 26, 2009
licking his wounds over Cal, I'd wager.
Leopold Bloom - September 26, 2009
As well he should.
I’m sure she can handle it.
iglew - September 26, 2009
I see double brads
ElQuesoCapitan - September 26, 2009
Casilla speaks to children about sportsmanship & education
He may want to educate them on how to lie about your age.
ohtobe21likehuston - September 26, 2009
He may also teatch them how to preform better under false pretenses.
ElQuesoCapitan - September 26, 2009
as long as he's not teaching them how to throw strikes
cuppingmaster - September 26, 2009
LOL
Nick - September 26, 2009
Good one
A real knee-slapper
ohtobe21likehuston - September 26, 2009
who doesn't like a good kn33 slap, now and then?!
GreenNGoldSooner - September 26, 2009
me
cuppingmaster - September 26, 2009
ok, that's a lie
cuppingmaster - September 26, 2009
He's teaching them not to embarrass their opponents
Say, by not letting them get a hit.
Nick - September 26, 2009
thought he was going to throw it onto the stands.
for some strange reason.
bashbro89 - September 26, 2009
i hold my breath every time a ball is hit to him now
Deborah51 - September 26, 2009
i'd almost...
wait for it… have crosby in for defense
cuppingmaster - September 26, 2009
i think bobby does play better D
unfortunately, he can’t hit to save his life
Deborah51 - September 26, 2009
nice shutdown inning
Deborah51 - September 26, 2009
...
Nick - September 26, 2009
Yippie-yi-ay, frisbee sirloin burgers?
danmerqury - September 26, 2009
mmm sliders
cuppingmaster - September 26, 2009
Holy crap....What the heck did I miss, I go to El Pollo Loco and the A's go crazy scoring runs!
Amnesiac - September 26, 2009
Go there again
ElQuesoCapitan - September 26, 2009
Please take Casilla with you!
GreenNGoldSooner - September 26, 2009
i think you were watching it the whole time
don’t you remember?
cuppingmaster - September 26, 2009
you went to the crazy chicken and brought me nothing back?
Leopold Bloom - September 26, 2009
he has made errors on Monday, Wed, Thurs, Fri
and for the weekend special he has made 2 today.
bashbro89 - September 26, 2009
Adam Kennedy.. that's who
bashbro89 - September 26, 2009
Killing vlad's avg.
ElQuesoCapitan - September 26, 2009
...with his song!
GreenNGoldSooner - September 26, 2009
I'm going to miss watching Brad pitch, come the offseason
that frisbee really can make hitters look silly
bobnothing - September 26, 2009
Zookityzook!!
Nick - September 26, 2009
zooooooooooooooook
cuppingmaster - September 26, 2009
cuppingmaster, i'm lost in this thread
who are the players whose photos i should look up?
OakA'sHoney - September 26, 2009
matt garza
chase utley, and dan uggla
cuppingmaster - September 26, 2009
no to all
OakA'sHoney - September 26, 2009
ouch.
winchester5 - September 26, 2009
well just going by photos
maybe if i saw them play or something
OakA'sHoney - September 26, 2009
wow really?
i would have thought that at least one of the first two would be your type
cuppingmaster - September 26, 2009
it's hard to say with photos
OakA'sHoney - September 26, 2009
it's much easier to judge when they're standing naked in front of you!
Deborah51 - September 26, 2009
Part of the problem might be that SS and 2B tend to be short to average height
Nick - September 26, 2009
uggla's a big guy no>?
on TV looks like he’s built like a tank
cuppingmaster - September 26, 2009
A tank describes his defensive skills pretty well.
danmerqury - September 26, 2009
ok i'll look at more photos and decide
OakA'sHoney - September 26, 2009
He looks OK here.
I’m not sold on him over all, though. I’d still go with IK.
iglew - September 26, 2009
Is that a fauxhawk?
My 6-year-old wants that haircut.
Nick - September 26, 2009
I thought it was just hat hair.
iglew - September 26, 2009
who's that?
OakA'sHoney - September 26, 2009
That's Dan Uggla.
iglew - September 26, 2009
here we go. we take the lead this inning.
Deborah51 - September 26, 2009
Zooks!
ElQuesoCapitan - September 26, 2009
Good dig by Suzuki to get a double
Lets go A’s… Lets Go A’s
bashbro89 - September 26, 2009
Time for jack to GIVE US THE LEAD
ElQuesoCapitan - September 26, 2009
Time for Cust to put us ahead
doctorK - September 26, 2009
Cust walk, Barton bunt
RBI single by Ellis
bye bye Lackey win
buddahead9 - September 26, 2009
Kustian
doctorK - September 26, 2009
UGH!!
wacchampions - September 26, 2009
that's a killer slider
cuppingmaster - September 26, 2009
Krap
Nick - September 26, 2009
Jack!!!!! Don't do that!
LoneStranger - September 26, 2009
damn, jack
Deborah51 - September 26, 2009
I like these A's
who play like they have a chance of winning
…except for Cust K
streetfan - September 26, 2009
You forget the Cust Jack earlier.
LoneStranger - September 26, 2009
Oh I remember
it was a beauty!
streetfan - September 26, 2009
yeah, that home run was the worst
bobnothing - September 26, 2009
Rally-killer
doctorK - September 26, 2009
Still ahead 3rd Qtr 23-13
BERRYJO - September 26, 2009
I dont ever want to see another one like that.....
BERRYJO - September 26, 2009
Yeeeeesssss!!!!!!!
cuppingmaster - September 26, 2009
Holy crap!!
wacchampions - September 26, 2009
wheeeee!!
OakA'sHoney - September 26, 2009
Woot!
GreenNGoldSooner - September 26, 2009
tie game.... swinging A's
hear the BOOOOOOO BIRDS
bashbro89 - September 26, 2009
Wahoo!
Tie game! Tie game! Tie game!
danmerqury - September 26, 2009
Yes!
LoneStranger - September 26, 2009
HAHAHA
No win for Slingblade
doctorK - September 26, 2009
This team has HUGE nuts!
ohtobe21likehuston - September 26, 2009
I watched Dora the Explorer today.
They went through the Nutty Forest.
LoneStranger - September 26, 2009
That might explain why you’re the LoneStanger :)
hisgoodluckcharm - September 26, 2009
Heh. My fourteen month old woke up really early this morning so we let mommy sleep in.
I put Dora on while I made him breakfast.
LoneStranger - September 26, 2009
aww how sweet
hisgoodluckcharm - September 26, 2009
The boos are music to my ears!!!!
cuppingmaster - September 26, 2009
yes!
OakA'sHoney - September 26, 2009
boosic!
Nico - September 26, 2009
NO WIN FOR YOU!!!!!!
Nico - September 26, 2009
Daric!!! FU, Lackey!! No win for you!
Nick - September 26, 2009
TIE GAME H AHAHAHA
ElQuesoCapitan - September 26, 2009
BOOOOO -YAH!!!
BERRYJO - September 26, 2009
Seriously??
The Angels fans are booing their own playoff bound team??
again, Really???
bobnothing - September 26, 2009
Lolfans
ElQuesoCapitan - September 26, 2009
Frankly, it's staggering I feel like they should have their playoff berth removed
Can Brett Favre field a team, instead?
bobnothing - September 26, 2009
That is pretty odd, considering this means nothing to them.
winchester5 - September 26, 2009
I don't know if it's for certain yet, is it?
LoneStranger - September 26, 2009
It's pretty much in the bag
bobnothing - September 26, 2009
their magic number could be either 3 or 4 depending on the outcome
they would have to blow it pretty bad
cuppingmaster - September 26, 2009
The A's won't fit in the bag
Their nuts are too big.
Nick - September 26, 2009
Indeed
ohtobe21likehuston - September 26, 2009
I just looked it up. If we can win tonight and tomorrow, Texas can knock them around this week and may take their place.
Boston has one game on LA right now, so they’d have to hope that Boston loses a few so that they could take the wild card in the case that Texas grows a pair.
LoneStranger - September 26, 2009
They didn't know about the playoffs
Last minute decision between Disneyland and Angels baseball. Don’t forget the beach ball.
ohtobe21likehuston - September 26, 2009
boop boop!
onBART!
iglew - September 26, 2009
now the game gets good and i have to leave soon
OakA'sHoney - September 26, 2009
boo
stay with us
cuppingmaster - September 26, 2009
it's saturday night baby, gotta go rock out
OakA'sHoney - September 26, 2009
Oh...yeah. I'm posting on AN from my phone while at a club.
I’m not sitting at home. Nuh-uh.
danmerqury - September 26, 2009
okay
have fun at your rave or whatever
cuppingmaster - September 26, 2009
rave? please
going to see my friend’s band play
OakA'sHoney - September 26, 2009
What do they play?
ohtobe21likehuston - September 26, 2009
i'm going to find out,he's got several bands going, and they keep changing their names, you know how it is with musicians
OakA'sHoney - September 26, 2009
Mystyk Spiral
Nick - September 26, 2009
we want unicorn magic
Deborah51 - September 26, 2009
Rally Monkey flings his poo in despair!
GreenNGoldSooner - September 26, 2009
Angels fans, if you don't like your team now
You’re going to hate the first round of the playoffs….
Englishmajor - September 26, 2009
This game is ridiculous!
I like it. Well, parts of it. Especially the coming-back-from-down-7-runs. That is good.
whiteshoes40 - September 26, 2009
have you noticed travis' ears sticking out
he needs his hair back
OakA'sHoney - September 26, 2009
I haven't seen him with the shaved head yet!
I’m at the mercy of whoever’s running the mlb.com live look-ins. They gave me part of last inning— Cust’s strikeout and most of Dale’s AB but cut it off before he actually got the hit. They hate me.
But anyway, I’ll see if I can get a look at Travis somehow…
whiteshoes40 - September 26, 2009
Make up calls by blue, guys getting hit in the head with errant throws
umos gettign hit by bats…. little bit of everything… even a Cust bomb
bashbro89 - September 26, 2009
all we need is a fight
or a triple play
cuppingmaster - September 26, 2009
A fight between Angle players and their fans
as we turn a triple play to win it in the 9th.
bashbro89 - September 26, 2009
I wonder about bizarre scenarios to end games
How many games have ended with:
a triple play?
an out on a baserunner being hit with a batted ball?
an appeal (I know this has definitely happened)?
batter stepping outside the batter’s box and hitting the ball?
Nick - September 26, 2009
There was that game-ending unassisted triple play earlier this season.
danmerqury - September 26, 2009
tulowitski?
cuppingmaster - September 26, 2009
Possibly.
I don’t remember who did it, I just remember that Francoeur was pissed.
danmerqury - September 26, 2009
Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together - mass hysteria.
GreenNGoldSooner - September 26, 2009
I saw that on TV last night.
Didn’t watch the whole thing, but saw that line.
The “dickless” scene was totally lame. They dubbed in something ridiculous.
iglew - September 26, 2009
Looking back on the '80s....
….there was a whole genre of film in which the protagonist is a total f**k up, who somehow manages to back his way into getting absolutely everything at the end of the film, while paying no cost (and bearing no moral responsibility) for his actual actions.
Ghostbusters fits the bill.
I just saw The Freshman for the first time in years last week, and that film is totally like that.
And there are many, many more.
GreenNGoldSooner - September 26, 2009
Doesn't that describe pretty much every Bill Murray role?
Whatever else you may think of the 1980s, they were the nadir of the century in terms of moral responsibility.
iglew - September 26, 2009
I think in more recent years...
…Murray’s characters don’t get everything (e.g. Lost in Translation). But in the ’80s , that was certainly the case.
Also: Matthew Broderick (Anyone? Bueller?)
GreenNGoldSooner - September 26, 2009
mark needs to hit line drives and not lazy fly balls
Deborah51 - September 26, 2009
LB fired the Rally Monkey he said so himself!!
wacchampions - September 26, 2009
Barton's swinging the bat so well right now
It’s established: The guy can definitely hit in September.
Nico - September 26, 2009
yeah let's just hopes he figures out the other 5 months
cuppingmaster - September 26, 2009
KKK
Deborah51 - September 26, 2009
Let's hope he can get another K
doctorK - September 26, 2009
Please hurry, Brad.
Sincerely,
Bruce Pearl
ohtobe21likehuston - September 26, 2009
lol
doctorK - September 26, 2009
Yea, if you're the guy who puts the K's out every time your pitcher gets a strikeout,
Do you wait after two until he gets four to put the K’s up?
LoneStranger - September 26, 2009
i've seen the third one turned backwards
and i think that’s why
cuppingmaster - September 26, 2009
Backwards K's usually mean Strikeout Looking instead of Strikeout Swinging.
LoneStranger - September 26, 2009
Nah, backwards is strikeout looking.
danmerqury - September 26, 2009
really?
this place gives me an edumication
cuppingmaster - September 26, 2009
ME too I had no idea there was any significance to the direction of the K's
BERRYJO - September 26, 2009
ain’t a k backward just a k looking?
AV - September 26, 2009
Got the first out.... SHUT down inning
bashbro89 - September 26, 2009
I like watching SlegnA K's
Trainman - September 26, 2009
did i just see chavy in the dugout?
OakA'sHoney - September 26, 2009
they said he would be with the team
so possibly
cuppingmaster - September 26, 2009
apparently Adam Melhuse visited the team yesterday too
Blast from the past.
whiteshoes40 - September 26, 2009
Korach mentioned that Chavvy showed up at the ballpark, and was in uniform before the game.
Then they went to commercial…leaving us hanging.
danmerqury - September 26, 2009
SuSlu reported he was in the dugout yesterday, but in civvies, not uniform
Nick - September 26, 2009
in skivvies?
ohtobe21likehuston - September 26, 2009
Chavy in Chonies
doctorK - September 26, 2009
Chave in Chone...WOW...TMI !
wacchampions - September 26, 2009
i wouldn't mind seeing chavy in skivvies
Deborah51 - September 26, 2009
I wouldn't mind seeing him eat really hot sauce
ohtobe21likehuston - September 26, 2009
It might have been his brother who is a bull-pen catcher
the shot was in the BP
BERRYJO - September 26, 2009
i didn't realize that was his brother
where have i been all season?
Deborah51 - September 26, 2009
He was there last year too.....
BERRYJO - September 26, 2009
Where were you for "several" seasons?
LOL
ohtobe21likehuston - September 26, 2009
LOL
wacchampions - September 26, 2009
damn, i guess!
Deborah51 - September 26, 2009
GIDP Please
Trainman - September 26, 2009
Good Play by Pennington there
Trainman - September 26, 2009
he looked like Walt Weiss on that play
bashbro89 - September 26, 2009
that is one of my favorite baseball player names
OakA'sHoney - September 26, 2009
HGH!
doctorK - September 26, 2009
Harry Gatthews Hunior?
Nico - September 26, 2009
That's a really funny name to read aloud.
danmerqury - September 26, 2009
Het's lope me hakes on aut
Trainman - September 26, 2009
God Damnit it
an 0-2 pitch
Fuck
Trainman - September 26, 2009
WHERE?!
hisgoodluckcharm - September 26, 2009
damn
OakA'sHoney - September 26, 2009
Go see your friend's band.
You can see the final score tomorrow morning.
iglew - September 26, 2009
AND THEN WISH YOU HAD BEEN HERE TO SEE IT!
LoneStranger - September 26, 2009
That would be a good result.
Make it so.
iglew - September 26, 2009
NOES
ElQuesoCapitan - September 26, 2009
Never trust a Yale man!
GreenNGoldSooner - September 26, 2009
my god, that was a bad throw
did his arm fall off??
bobnothing - September 26, 2009
He would have been out at home on a good throw...
wacchampions - September 26, 2009
Barf!
LoneStranger - September 26, 2009
any type of decent throw and he would have had that train coming home
bashbro89 - September 26, 2009
on an 0-2...damn
Deborah51 - September 26, 2009
what kind of a throw was that???
i could spit the ball that far
cuppingmaster - September 26, 2009
A BACK TO SAC THROW
bashbro89 - September 26, 2009
a suck ass throw
Deborah51 - September 26, 2009
yes one way ticket
cuppingmaster - September 26, 2009
That was throw-up.
LoneStranger - September 26, 2009
Perfect example of not being a ML'er
That is all about pressure and he couldn’t handle it.
ohtobe21likehuston - September 26, 2009
Was it Raúlesque?
iglew - September 26, 2009
to quote one of my fav movies, termimator 2
“i could get out and run faster than this”
cuppingmaster - September 26, 2009
It was more way offline than at his own feet
but it did elicit a similar double take
bobnothing - September 26, 2009
THAT was one of the worst throws I've seen
ohtobe21likehuston - September 26, 2009
Wow...WTF was that?
Amnesiac - September 26, 2009
Wow, that pitch was right down the middle. On 0-2.
And…I’ve got to see this Patterson throw on the gameday replay.
danmerqury - September 26, 2009
and he's hitting .205 from the right side
ohtobe21likehuston - September 26, 2009
This whole series, the angels announcers have praised GMJ for his bench role
Nothing like paying 10 mil for a “great” bench player.

Say...I heard Chavy is on the bench tonight.
ohtobe21likehuston - September 26, 2009
expensive oxygen and space
bashbro89 - September 26, 2009
I give Chavy a pass
for not being able to stay off a surgery table.
buddahead9 - September 26, 2009

bashbro89 - September 26, 2009

BERRYJO - September 26, 2009
Truly a terrible throw by Patterson
doctorK - September 26, 2009

BERRYJO - September 26, 2009
Patterson showing that he's not going to be here in 2010.
ElQuesoCapitan - September 26, 2009
His bat has been showing that for a while
ohtobe21likehuston - September 26, 2009
Hey, at least the A's are not going to go down wondering
bobnothing - September 26, 2009
Bad timing for a CSN-CA radio commercial
that states the “A’s have never looked better!”
danmerqury - September 26, 2009

AV - September 26, 2009

mathis stipped nearly naked and ran into the outfield wearing only a jock strap
cuppingmaster - September 26, 2009
men running naked is actually not a good thing
OakA'sHoney - September 26, 2009
He forgot to mention the part where Buck joined him.
danmerqury - September 26, 2009
