True.....but in the end it seems as if she has captivated him and he wants her to be with him.
although their relationship is not clearly romantic. He’s a misogynistic jerk who is transformed by a guttersnipe. I think of “Why can’t a woman” to be more about sexist attitudes about women in an era when they were societally inferior to men. The transformative power of love and all that.
You’re certainly cooler than me, sitting in my shanty here in Florida, in my underwear, at a desk that’s comically too short for me, typing into a chat about a game that’s 7-0 with a team that’s dead last.
When I signed up there was a deal for $150 cash back. But apparently I didn’t read the fine print, and I didn’t think to confirm I was getting it, so instead I got a coupon for $75 back that had to be activated online…..it didn’t work with my browser and by the time I remembered to bring the coupon to my office and try a different one, it had expired. So that sucked. But the service has been fine, the installation is free. I have internet and phone and it’s all pretty good although there’s a bit of a hum on the phone line sometimes. I was surprised to find that all the Comcast sports channels are available on it, which would have been the main reason to stay with Comcast.
You can choose how many things to bundle. This is the first area I’ve lived in a while where there was a choice of cable providers, so I thought why not try something other than Comcast…..
I kind of want to watch it, because it’s filmed in SF, and I was working in the city last spring when they closed some roads to film the pilot… but if it’s that bad, I don’t want to waste my time. (Because it’s not like I waste my time doing things like posting in game threads every day.)
Powell makes me happy. Now # of hits = # of errors.
As for the lethal cricket — well, I haven’t really been in my kitchen today — had lunch at work and went out for dinner. Hopefully by the time I find it, it will be dead. No less gross, but much easier to dispose of.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
Yeah...LOL..it was a great atmosphere here...I will write about it and post pics when I get home to the Bay Area tommorow...
The Phillies are in trouble in the playoffs if they can’t rely on their bullpen….Playoff games are usually close and you really need to have a bullpen that can close it out. Tyler Walker looked terrible on Monday night and they can’t depend on Lidge at this point. I was just a casual observer at the game with no real interest in the winer or loser so it was cool to be a part of the celebration though…
But yeah, good stuff man. I was there in 2000 for the clinching game in the days of Izzy, Hudson et al and it was like nothing else. I’m hoping I will get to go to an A’s WS sometime in the next 10 years

OakA'sHoney - September 30, 2009
We're a talkative bunch.
Granted, like, 60 posts are about the game, but still.
danmerqury - September 30, 2009
I can't really blame anyone
baseballgirl - September 30, 2009
let's face it.
We’re all game thread junkies and our supply’s getting really, really, REALLY low.
Leopold Bloom - September 30, 2009
ya I haven't cared about the games for awhile now

months.

Leopold Bloom - September 30, 2009
I'll never take it for granted.

I miss Ken's voice.
I also miss Bill’s voice. Sigh.
whiteshoes40 - September 30, 2009

67MARQUEZ - September 30, 2009
agreed.
Leopold Bloom - September 30, 2009
Have you grown accustomed to his voice?
BERRYJO - September 30, 2009
I miss his musk.
I think when this season’s over, we should get an apartment together.
Leopold Bloom - September 30, 2009
I was channeling "my fair lady"
but not very well……
BERRYJO - September 30, 2009
Oh, I'm sorry, Jo.
I don’t know musicals. You need iglew for that. Maybe Don.
Leopold Bloom - September 30, 2009
I got it.
Not a lover of that character….
It’s cliché to reinterpret a show like that to make the main character gay, and 9 times out of 10 it’s stupid. But in MFL, I think it’s an improvement.
iglew - September 30, 2009
stop analyzing and feed her lines bakc, so she can relate to you as a human.
Leopold Bloom - September 30, 2009
My bad
iglew - September 30, 2009
WOW - I never thought of it like that......
BERRYJO - September 30, 2009
oh. My bad.
Carry on, iglew.
Leopold Bloom - September 30, 2009
I guarantee you Lynnzgal has thought this....
iglew - September 30, 2009
"Confirmed bachelors" should always set off an alarm.
Not to mention, “why can’t a woman be more like a man?”
(Or for that matter, “Pickering and I are at it from morning till night.”)
I’ll give the movie credit on this one. The movie provided several hints. I’m pretty sure it was not intended by Lerner and Loewe.
iglew - September 30, 2009
OH!
I actually do love that kind of stuff. The innuendo of homosexuality before it was “allowed.” Movies and books.
Leopold Bloom - September 30, 2009
You would love Cole Porter.
iglew - September 30, 2009
lots of old singers.
Leopold Bloom - September 30, 2009
Me, for instance.

BERRYJO - September 30, 2009
I don't actually think the gay thing totally works.
The intent of the script really is that he’s straight. There’s just an awful lot of interesting suggestions in there.
But for me the script as written doesn’t really work either, so you know, it’s a puzzle with several imperfect answers.
iglew - September 30, 2009
Look down!
I caught the reference.
danmerqury - September 30, 2009
Not his face, I'd imagine.
Those cameras in the broadcast booth don’t get much action.
danmerqury - September 30, 2009

but I hate her character

you're supposed to
OakA'sHoney - September 30, 2009
and boy do I
she could drive a dude to be a Priest
sirbed - September 30, 2009
who is she?
Leopold Bloom - September 30, 2009
betty draper from mad men
don draper’s wife
cuppingmaster - September 30, 2009
oh.
and she’s evil?
She doesn’t look evil. Blankly insane, maybe. But I think the 50’s may have had that effect on a good number of women.
Leopold Bloom - September 30, 2009
They held their insanity in better in those days.
67MARQUEZ - September 30, 2009
and their gin
bobnothing - September 30, 2009
they had to, or we locked them up with "hysteria"
Leopold Bloom - September 30, 2009
If my mom was a mom from these days
Dad probably wouldn’t be alive right now.
67MARQUEZ - September 30, 2009
mine neither.
oh, wait, my dad’s dead.
thanks, don.
Leopold Bloom - September 30, 2009
Help me with this foot, please?
67MARQUEZ - September 30, 2009
(I was just playing with you, you know)
though I suppose most people don’t see the humor in death.
Leopold Bloom - September 30, 2009
I know, dear.
67MARQUEZ - September 30, 2009
hence the beauty of mad men
OakA'sHoney - September 30, 2009
if i was don
i think i might have just had her killed by now
cuppingmaster - September 30, 2009
don?

67MARQUEZ - September 30, 2009
Whew. I thought you were reading my e-mails again.
67MARQUEZ - September 30, 2009

just copied them to my server so they live in perpetuity
cuppingmaster - September 30, 2009

are you making money off them?
Leopold Bloom - September 30, 2009

cuppingmaster - September 30, 2009
she needs prozac
OakA'sHoney - September 30, 2009
she needs to grow up

exactly, she's a horrifying mother
OakA'sHoney - September 30, 2009
she is hot though
cuppingmaster - September 30, 2009
i would say she is pretty, joan is hot
OakA'sHoney - September 30, 2009
hmmm
size FF breasts or blonde hair…. tough call
cuppingmaster - September 30, 2009
I also find them about equally inspiring,
but at a different level, I’m sure.
The picture above did nothing for me. In the category of 50s looking blondes named after something on a calendar, I’ll go with Tuesday Weld.

ElQuesoCapitan - September 30, 2009
well that's a big post

That's a mighty big offensive explosion
This is the A’s were talking about.
pookeyguru - September 30, 2009
I'm confused
Gameday reads 0-3 but says 1 ball 2 strikes?
brian.only - September 30, 2009
K goes the over or under rated Cust. take your pick.
ak_A - September 30, 2009
The Mariners have been kyrptoninte
Hit4TheCycle - September 30, 2009
It's Hannahan, I'm sure.
iglew - September 30, 2009
this mariners pitcher is really good, let's face it, he has our number
OakA'sHoney - September 30, 2009
If he calls me, I'm not answering.
67MARQUEZ - September 30, 2009
Call back to Morrow?
Nico - September 30, 2009
Call back to Morrow?
Nico - September 30, 2009
doubly nice
67MARQUEZ - September 30, 2009
I got a text message on my cell today politely asking if they could call me about my mortgage.
I replied “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!” If THEY call me i’m not answering!
BERRYJO - September 30, 2009
LOL
i got that too. At 5:30AM no less. I replied with “get bent”
cuppingmaster - September 30, 2009
ask them if they've heard the Good News.
Leopold Bloom - September 30, 2009
My favorite was one time my dtr answered the phone when she was about 8
she said “are you a telemarketer? because if you are, my mom doesn’t want to talk to you.”
BERRYJO - September 30, 2009
that's pretty good!
Leopold Bloom - September 30, 2009
I don't ever answer my house phone anymore......
BERRYJO - September 30, 2009
Morrow is one of those guys who is sometimes awesome
and sometimes garbage.
iglew - September 30, 2009
Well, he was a first-round talent, wasn't he?
And made it to the bigs rather young, I think.
danmerqury - September 30, 2009
Yes, fifth pick over all. From Cal.
He still could be great.
iglew - September 30, 2009
He zoomed through the minors, but
since he was a college player he was still older than Anderson or Cahill when he debuted. He’s 25 now, in his third season in the bigs.
iglew - September 30, 2009
He's the Gio Gonzalez of the Mariners
Champions some good run support, sometimes good sometimes forgettable.
Hit4TheCycle - September 30, 2009
this whole team has our number
cuppingmaster - September 30, 2009
yea
OakA'sHoney - September 30, 2009
Loathe as I am to use this phrase,
I think you pretty much have to tip your cap to Brandon Morrow tonight.
Nico - September 30, 2009
Can I tip my RALLY CAP?
brian.only - September 30, 2009
loathe as I was to read it.
ak_A - September 30, 2009
"I don't believe what I just saw."
Oh, shut up.
67MARQUEZ - September 30, 2009
is that what I think it is?
Leopold Bloom - September 30, 2009
yep
67MARQUEZ - September 30, 2009
fuckers.
who the hell is playing that?!
Leopold Bloom - September 30, 2009
our station
67MARQUEZ - September 30, 2009
WTF?!!!!
Leopold Bloom - September 30, 2009
It's a post-season spot
full of highlights, and that one is the first.
67MARQUEZ - September 30, 2009
Are they thinking that A's fans might want to "relive" that moment?!!!
Leopold Bloom - September 30, 2009
Pretty sure.
I’ve heard it over thirty times tonight.
67MARQUEZ - September 30, 2009

I'm switching back and forth between the game and the National Day parade from Beijing
Young Pioneers are marching right now.
Englishmajor - September 30, 2009
um.
EM, I’m concerned.
What channel is the National Day parade on?
Leopold Bloom - September 30, 2009
nothing beats those card tricks in Pyongyang or however you spell it.
ak_A - September 30, 2009
what station?
ak_A - September 30, 2009
CCTV9 in English
It’s like channel 3607 on my U-verse, but a lot of cable systems carry it in basic digital.
Englishmajor - September 30, 2009
gosh, probably not on my time-warner package.
ak_A - September 30, 2009
It's because I'm livechatting with a friend in Beijing
who’s telling me how bogus it all is…
Englishmajor - September 30, 2009
If your friend all of a sudden disappears from the livechat...you know why.
danmerqury - September 30, 2009
you're, uh, you're cooler than the rest of us.
You’re certainly cooler than me, sitting in my shanty here in Florida, in my underwear, at a desk that’s comically too short for me, typing into a chat about a game that’s 7-0 with a team that’s dead last.
Leopold Bloom - September 30, 2009
It's all AN love......

Come to bed already.

I wish.
I’m so tired of sleeping alone.

I'm so sick of signs.

I fucking loathe Florida.

Leopold Bloom - September 30, 2009
electrical fire?
sirbed - September 30, 2009
always a step ahead of me.
67MARQUEZ - September 30, 2009
Yeah but what about the insurance?
brian.only - September 30, 2009
signs, signs, everywhere there's signs

I hope you have to listen to muzak all day tomorrow.

Signs, signs, everwhere signs,

Bad. Ass.
danmerqury - September 30, 2009
How do you like U-Verse?
BERRYJO - September 30, 2009
I like it pretty well
When I signed up there was a deal for $150 cash back. But apparently I didn’t read the fine print, and I didn’t think to confirm I was getting it, so instead I got a coupon for $75 back that had to be activated online…..it didn’t work with my browser and by the time I remembered to bring the coupon to my office and try a different one, it had expired. So that sucked. But the service has been fine, the installation is free. I have internet and phone and it’s all pretty good although there’s a bit of a hum on the phone line sometimes. I was surprised to find that all the Comcast sports channels are available on it, which would have been the main reason to stay with Comcast.
Englishmajor - September 30, 2009
I already have internet and phone......does it come through a phone line or a cable?
BERRYJO - September 30, 2009
It's some kind of fiber-optic deal, I think
You can choose how many things to bundle. This is the first area I’ve lived in a while where there was a choice of cable providers, so I thought why not try something other than Comcast…..
Englishmajor - September 30, 2009
It just seemed like it was more flexible than Comcast. I don't know anyone else that has it!

The 99 MPH and the 100 MPH fastball maybe 3 with the 101 MPH Fastball
Hit4TheCycle - September 30, 2009
two - the 'fastball', and the 'wild pitch'

You gotta admit -- the guy has stuff
I’m not one to be seduced by the radar gun, but 99MPH with late movement? Yikes.

he just doesn't seem to know where it's going right now

How was the Chez?? We never did see the pics.

I’m not surprised. (Skeets mentioned Jeter’s mansion.)

It's insane B-Ball girl
Just click on this link, and Skeets will tell you all. (Frankly, I agree with the lady who objects.)

Thanks!!! Will check it out.
baseballgirl - September 30, 2009
Did you see that Jeter is too?
baseballgirl - September 30, 2009
Yeah that is as equally as retarded
But, I don’t care to know any more. It was the whole detail of what Jordan wanted to do that tripped me out.
pookeyguru - September 30, 2009
give me it in 25 words or less
ak_A - September 30, 2009
It's retarded to build a mansion with an elevator

What if you're Stephen Hawking?
Then it might be smart.

Is Michael Jordan Stephen Hawking?

What kind of odds would you take that Hawking could dunk on Jordan?

you can't dunk on Stephen 'Event Horizon' Hawking

This is intense.
whiteshoes40 - September 30, 2009
Well, the parade ended, so I'm back to the game.
Still sucks, I see.
Englishmajor - September 30, 2009
was this one of those all of China participates thing?
Leopold Bloom - September 30, 2009
First half was tanks and precision-stepping soldiers
Second half was here is the float from Jiangsu province, known for its pioneering land reform efforts….etc etc. And pretty happy ethnic minorities.
Englishmajor - September 30, 2009
do they have
Puerto Ricans posing as Native Americans too?
Leopold Bloom - September 30, 2009
Some kind of 'are'.
brian.only - September 30, 2009
Or is this the night NCIS: LA is on?
Just to further impress LB with my coolness. A friend of mine is in it, so I have to watch it.
Englishmajor - September 30, 2009
I'm gonna go eat a Snickers bar in my king sized bed. Alone.
And watch Sportscenter.
God damn, I suck.
Leopold Bloom - September 30, 2009
Almost the same.
Drumstick. And those damm nuts are everywhere.
67MARQUEZ - September 30, 2009
TMI
brian.only - September 30, 2009
just put on some briefs. you’ll be a’ight.
AV - September 30, 2009
use the ice cream to pick up the nuts
cuppingmaster - September 30, 2009
genius
67MARQUEZ - September 30, 2009
Isn't that what you come to AN for?
pookeyguru - September 30, 2009
that, and the chicks.
67MARQUEZ - September 30, 2009
chicks dig geeky guys typing for hours in front of their computers
about baseball.
Leopold Bloom - September 30, 2009
that should be the official t-shirt of AN
with a picture of christina or lauren on it
cuppingmaster - September 30, 2009
i thought we were going to have halter tops?
OakA'sHoney - September 30, 2009
I don't think a Christina picture would fit
on a halter top.
iglew - September 30, 2009
i thought the an guys were creating halter tops for the an girls?
OakA'sHoney - September 30, 2009
I don't think Christina would fit
in a halter top.
danmerqury - September 30, 2009
but damn it, we'll give it a shot
67MARQUEZ - September 30, 2009
you can wear that
cuppingmaster - September 30, 2009
I can make that, you know.
Leopold Bloom - September 30, 2009
yes please
67MARQUEZ - September 30, 2009
sounds like you could use a Personal Life Coach.
ak_A - September 30, 2009
snicker
(not the candy)
baseballgirl - September 30, 2009
THEY HAVE THOSE??!!
Just wondering.
67MARQUEZ - September 30, 2009
Be sure to be in your underwear.
danmerqury - September 30, 2009
turn that frown upside down Bloom
I’m sure things will get better
sirbed - September 30, 2009
If you can do all that sober
That’s more than a typical man.
Hit4TheCycle - September 30, 2009
pshh, my flat is in the opening credits of Trauma
which is awful, by the by
bobnothing - September 30, 2009
really?
I kind of want to watch it, because it’s filmed in SF, and I was working in the city last spring when they closed some roads to film the pilot… but if it’s that bad, I don’t want to waste my time. (Because it’s not like I waste my time doing things like posting in game threads every day.)
whiteshoes40 - September 30, 2009
Well,
i’ve only seen the first episode – it was the pilot, so maybe it’ll settle down.
but it had two helicopter crashes, a pileup on the motorway, an exploding oil tanker and a missing finger.
i was watching with some friends, and we mostly just laughed and shouted – I’VE BEEN THERE a lot
bobnothing - September 30, 2009
What happened to the show "Life???"
BERRYJO - September 30, 2009
Is there anyting cool about NCIS: Los Angeles?
sirbed - September 30, 2009
The first episode seemed pretty dull
But I haven’t really got into the new “procedurals” — old Law and Order reruns are good enough for me.
Englishmajor - September 30, 2009
is that the one with ll cool j?
OakA'sHoney - September 30, 2009
Yup
Englishmajor - September 30, 2009
And Eric Wedge got the ax
Figures, I suppose
cuppingmaster - September 30, 2009
Who will manage next?
Biggs?
Hit4TheCycle - September 30, 2009
John Gruden, hopefully.
….oh, sorry, wrong thread.
Leopold Bloom - September 30, 2009
sigh
67MARQUEZ - September 30, 2009
I'm thinking we get rid of the fat man,
and talk Gruden into returning to South Bend. Or perhaps Butch Davis.
Leopold Bloom - September 30, 2009
Oh I thought you meant the Raiders.
67MARQUEZ - September 30, 2009
nonnoon.
Gruden wouldn’t return to Oakland, man.
Leopold Bloom - September 30, 2009
{cries}
67MARQUEZ - September 30, 2009
maybe once Al dies.
Leopold Bloom - September 30, 2009
that will never happen
67MARQUEZ - September 30, 2009
Actually, he died years ago,
but he keeps going anyway.
iglew - September 30, 2009
has joel skinner ever gotten a chance to manage?
cuppingmaster - September 30, 2009
I thought it was better hit than that
baseballgirl - September 30, 2009
kristin chenoweth singing Heart on Glee
i loveher
OakA'sHoney - September 30, 2009
A lot of people seem to like her
but her voice grates on me
sirbed - September 30, 2009
she was great in Wicked (the musical)
she’s good in the theatre, may not translate on tv
OakA'sHoney - September 30, 2009
my ex-wife loved those books.
Leopold Bloom - September 30, 2009
never read the book
OakA'sHoney - September 30, 2009
pop-you-lar
ak_A - September 30, 2009
love that soundtrack
OakA'sHoney - September 30, 2009
I saw it for the first time this summer
LOVED it
BERRYJO - September 30, 2009
who?
cuppingmaster - September 30, 2009
broadway actress/singer
OakA'sHoney - September 30, 2009
I've really only seen her on the West Wing
sirbed - September 30, 2009
she might be annoying with her pipsqueak voice
OakA'sHoney - September 30, 2009
ya but like I said I know a lot of people love her
sirbed - September 30, 2009
they were singing "how can i get you alone" and it was good
obviously i’m flipping the channels now
OakA'sHoney - September 30, 2009
is she cute?
cuppingmaster - September 30, 2009
yes, tiny blonde
OakA'sHoney - September 30, 2009
she's like a cuter version of amy poehler
cuppingmaster - September 30, 2009
yea
OakA'sHoney - September 30, 2009
more tolerable than Bernadette Peters who irritated the heck out of me.
ak_A - September 30, 2009
Bernadette Peters died?
pookeyguru - September 30, 2009
did she?
ak_A - September 30, 2009
Probably not
pookeyguru - September 30, 2009
you too?
she’s always seemed like a B-rate madeline khan to me…
AV - September 30, 2009
ooooo.
I had the strangest crush on Madeline Khan growing up.
Leopold Bloom - September 30, 2009
What about Mel Brooks?
pookeyguru - September 30, 2009
He's dead sexy
sirbed - September 30, 2009
Yeah
pookeyguru - September 30, 2009
it’s that von shtupp song in blazing saddles! i never got the lyrics as a kid, but i knew what i was seeing.
AV - September 30, 2009
yeah, that's true.
But then she also had her own show on ABC for like a half a season or so. I was really infatuated with her and I was like younger than 10.
Leopold Bloom - September 30, 2009
she was great in The Jerk...
Leopold Bloom - September 30, 2009
you need to steer clear of those kind of movies in your mood.
ak_A - September 30, 2009
I thought they were good for me.
I thought the ones to avoid were like…I dunno…Falling Down?
Leopold Bloom - September 30, 2009
refresh me on that one
ak_A - September 30, 2009
Michael Douglas snaps, starts blowing shit up.
Abandons his car on the freeway in gridlock.
Leopold Bloom - September 30, 2009
Oh, yes.
ak_A - September 30, 2009
I think it's a pretty good black comedy
For the first hour or so. Then it gets stupid.
pookeyguru - September 30, 2009
Michael Douglas is a good actor
sirbed - September 30, 2009
he can be.
kind of one-note.
Leopold Bloom - September 30, 2009
Remember that one movie where he got kidnapped as a joke by his brother?
That was a pretty good movie.
pookeyguru - September 30, 2009
What was the name of that one??
BERRYJO - September 30, 2009
The Game?
Good movie.
He’s been in several good movies. He’s got a good eye.
Leopold Bloom - September 30, 2009
Walks a lot?
Or at least acts in a lot of good hitting counts?
Nico - September 30, 2009
he's always in a position to get a good pitch, yes.
Leopold Bloom - September 30, 2009
that made me laugh
bobnothing - September 30, 2009
Walks a lot?
Or at least acts in a lot of good hitting counts?
Nico - September 30, 2009
Did Cindi make you hit post twice?
pookeyguru - September 30, 2009
Yes.
Nico - September 30, 2009
Yes.
Nico - September 30, 2009
Give her credit for being useful
pookeyguru - September 30, 2009
Yeah that's it
I enjoyed that one in particular.
pookeyguru - September 30, 2009
boy I don't know I think he's underated
sirbed - September 30, 2009
She was in the Jerk?
I need to see that.
pookeyguru - September 30, 2009
Nevermind
I realize you’re talking about Bernadette Peters.
pookeyguru - September 30, 2009
good movie
sirbed - September 30, 2009
true
67MARQUEZ - September 30, 2009
+ a BUNCH
BERRYJO - September 30, 2009
Also better on stage.
iglew - September 30, 2009
Hey Brad Lidge finally didn't blow a game
(but he was up 10-3)
cuppingmaster - September 30, 2009
This is Halloween, this is Halloween.
Sorry, my son is watching that.
67MARQUEZ - September 30, 2009
I love that movie.
I own it.
Leopold Bloom - September 30, 2009
Was always his fave.
Wonder why he decided to break it out tonight.
67MARQUEZ - September 30, 2009
It's the Eve of October
Hit4TheCycle - September 30, 2009
good point
67MARQUEZ - September 30, 2009
have you taken him to a walgreens or something recently? they coated in orange and black quite early this year.
AV - September 30, 2009
Didn't notice through the Christmas trees.
67MARQUEZ - September 30, 2009
HAveyou ever been to Disneyland when the Haunted MAnsion is all decked out in Jack stuff?
BERRYJO - September 30, 2009
yes, loved that.
67MARQUEZ - September 30, 2009
I got my kid a Jack jersey that I don't think she ever even wore!!
BERRYJO - September 30, 2009
I have like 3000 CD's but I've never bought a DVD
I just don’t watch movies over and over like some people do
sirbed - September 30, 2009
Neewollah
ak_A - September 30, 2009
I saw it when it first hit theaters
and every Halloween since
(and sometimes Christmas)
SwisherThresher - September 30, 2009
Everybody SCREAM
In our town of Hallo-ween
Love that one too!!!
BERRYJO - September 30, 2009
Last Dance Everybody.
brian.only - September 30, 2009
Let's just get one more hit.
Then I will be happy. Please?
whiteshoes40 - September 30, 2009
liar.
good to see you’ve survived the night and the following day with a lethal cricket waiting you opening the wrong cupboard.
Leopold Bloom - September 30, 2009
Powell makes me happy. Now # of hits = # of errors.
As for the lethal cricket — well, I haven’t really been in my kitchen today — had lunch at work and went out for dinner. Hopefully by the time I find it, it will be dead. No less gross, but much easier to dispose of.
whiteshoes40 - September 30, 2009
do you have "palmetto bugs" in that part of Texas?
Leopold Bloom - September 30, 2009
I dunno.
Probably. I am not yet familiar with all of the lethal insects around here, nor do I want to be.
whiteshoes40 - September 30, 2009
don't let them fool you.
They’re roaches. Big ones.
Leopold Bloom - September 30, 2009
are they the flying/jumping ones?
I’ve heard talk of them.
whiteshoes40 - September 30, 2009
Tomorrow is my last A's thread of the season.
.Should we do a toga thing or something else?
67MARQUEZ - September 30, 2009
TOGA! TOGA! TOGA!
sirbed - September 30, 2009

OakA'sHoney - September 30, 2009

brian.only - September 30, 2009

Leopold Bloom - September 30, 2009
Mort- 1IN, 8H, 6R, 1HR
Pen- 7IN, 4H, 1R, 1HR, 1B, 10K
brian.only - September 30, 2009

ak_A - September 30, 2009
They Made You A Criminal?
Englishmajor - September 30, 2009
thats it. got some ol Bowery Boys in it.
ak_A - September 30, 2009
oh shit, this game is nearly over
how did that happen so quickly?
bobnothing - September 30, 2009
hey the one-hitter is broken up.
woooooo!
cuppingmaster - September 30, 2009
is WS happy now?
Leopold Bloom - September 30, 2009
yes, thank you.
whiteshoes40 - September 30, 2009
This hardly even qualifies as a tease
Englishmajor - September 30, 2009
Watch the A's lose 7-6
Hit4TheCycle - September 30, 2009
I've seen it before...
brian.only - September 30, 2009
Officially One Hit..
Holy Sh_t!
brian.only - September 30, 2009
this is the worst game ever
OakA'sHoney - September 30, 2009
Hey, I just noticed it's Wednesday.
Don’t you have Top Chef date with your Mom on Wednesdays, LB?
iglew - September 30, 2009
yay top chef in 10 minutes

OakA'sHoney - September 30, 2009
I went.
But it was a fucking repeat. And I don’t think they otld us it was a repeat.
Leopold Bloom - September 30, 2009
it's just not your night Bloom
sirbed - September 30, 2009

Leopold Bloom - September 30, 2009
Wow Cust K's for the fourth time...
2 Hit ouch.
brian.only - September 30, 2009
Well that was fun
hey 4 KO’s for Bust
sirbed - September 30, 2009
Other than all of it, this game was pretty interesting.
Nico - September 30, 2009
Good game for Brandon Morrow.
I wanted the A’s to get him.
iglew - September 30, 2009
woooo finally over
cuppingmaster - September 30, 2009

OakA'sHoney - September 30, 2009

sirbed - September 30, 2009

OakA'sHoney - September 30, 2009
Kinda by definition
Nico - September 30, 2009
promise???
BERRYJO - September 30, 2009
Is it too late to join the game thread?
wacchampions - September 30, 2009
No, we haven't scored yet.
Nico - September 30, 2009
You can join us.....welcome
no game left……sry
BERRYJO - September 30, 2009
Was there a game?
Seemed like batting practice really.
brian.only - September 30, 2009
Well if batting practice is just ending then I am right on time...
wacchampions - September 30, 2009
Holy sh_t a Kennedy walk off!
1-0 A’s!
this game rocks!
brian.only - September 30, 2009
They'd prolly like to play this one over!!
BERRYJO - September 30, 2009
the battery in my radio gave out an hour ago. didn’t see the point of raiding yet another smoke detector in my house to keep listening…
AV - September 30, 2009
Put those batteries back!! Promise??
LOL
BERRYJO - September 30, 2009
Please stop living so dangerously....you are a real thrill seeker...
wacchampions - September 30, 2009
you are actually early for tomorrow.
67MARQUEZ - September 30, 2009
Oh good, I hate to be late to the party...
wacchampions - September 30, 2009
whelp, party people.
bedways is rightways now.
Viddy well, peeps, viddy well.
Leopold Bloom - September 30, 2009
Sweet dreams
BERRYJO - September 30, 2009
Smell ya later everyone
sirbed - September 30, 2009

brian.only - September 30, 2009
luckily i smell good
OakA'sHoney - September 30, 2009
look at my kingdom
i was finally there, settle in my home, as the prince of bel-air
cuppingmaster - September 30, 2009
Brandon Morrow...Brenden Morrow
As an A’s/Sharks fan, all I can say is…
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
SwisherThresher - September 30, 2009
rec'd
just for the cool li’l shakespearian skull
emperor nobody - September 30, 2009
A demain
Englishmajor - September 30, 2009
How fast did Henry get his fastball up to?
I just walked in and saw the score.
Just imagine a slegnA hitter or three getting wacked with one of those this weekend.
Trainman - September 30, 2009
101 i think someone said
i’m hoping the games will be close enough that he won’t be used. or casilla.
cuppingmaster - September 30, 2009
Pitchf/x shows him with a high of 100.4.
Last time, his high was 99.9.
danmerqury - September 30, 2009
FM radio?
brian.only - September 30, 2009
I was at the Phillies game tonight to see them clinch the NL East...Oh how I long for those days in Oakland again!!
wacchampions - September 30, 2009
Nice.
brian.only - September 30, 2009
And you weren't posting from your PDA or cell phone??
for shame
BERRYJO - September 30, 2009
Oh, is mobile commenting available?
wacchampions - September 30, 2009
if you have an iPhone or BB the mobile site works well
mobile.athleticsnation.com
cuppingmaster - September 30, 2009
hahah hahahhaha haha
hahaha
BERRYJO - September 30, 2009
LOL!!
wacchampions - September 30, 2009
i'm surprised lidge didn't blow it
cuppingmaster - September 30, 2009
Yeah...LOL..it was a great atmosphere here...I will write about it and post pics when I get home to the Bay Area tommorow...
The Phillies are in trouble in the playoffs if they can’t rely on their bullpen….Playoff games are usually close and you really need to have a bullpen that can close it out. Tyler Walker looked terrible on Monday night and they can’t depend on Lidge at this point. I was just a casual observer at the game with no real interest in the winer or loser so it was cool to be a part of the celebration though…
wacchampions - September 30, 2009
it's either him or madsen
no other real choices.
But yeah, good stuff man. I was there in 2000 for the clinching game in the days of Izzy, Hudson et al and it was like nothing else. I’m hoping I will get to go to an A’s WS sometime in the next 10 years
cuppingmaster - September 30, 2009
Good night
Here’s something pretty from outer space today- too big to post.

OakA'sHoney - September 30, 2009

snicker bars on a lonely king bed?
cuppingmaster - September 30, 2009

top chef is a rerun, not sure what i’ll do, what about you?
OakA'sHoney - September 30, 2009
