A's are 5 and o
whenever we write hakius
let's keep this going

three point five games back
it's time to thank JP's team
Toronto Blue Jays

Vegas trip is soon
my money is on the A's
don't hate, I'm Chinese

Bonderman will win
A's will take two out of three
Billy Beane Throws chair

Joe Morgan's column
registration required
waste of my money

Kenneth Scott Rogers
finally loses appeal
it's about damn time

V. Scott Elarton
what would happen if he faced
Seth M. Etherton

Eric C. Chavez
that speech on the bus was key
he is a leader

AN Day is soon
who are the guests of honor?
I guess we'll find out

drunk guy on sports talk
said Tigers will win pennant
I don't believe him

A's are in second
I am still in disbelief
someone please pinch me

must go to bed now
need beauty sleep for my play
haikus are welcome

Greetings AN!

First post on AN
Too shy to post until now
Richard is my name

Cal class of 2K
Football team is other love
Go A's and Go Bears!!!

The Tag by Kendall
Guttiest play of the year!
Spike marks to prove it

DJ 4 for 4
Ellis pinch runs, comes to bat
Gets a hit himself

Needing a big hit?
Scutaro will deliver
A's win yet again

Eighteen inning game,
Angels lose, bullpen shot. A's
three and a half back!

GreenNGoldGirl plus
baseballgirl take Urban to
task 'bout Huston's ass

baseballgirl's best quote:
A's "hottest team in baseball"
double entendre! :)

I am a straight guy
But "chick talk" is great to see
Keep it coming, girls!

Tigers now in town
Harden, Zito and Saarloos
I like our chances

Trade deadline Sunday
Will A's make a move? Not sure
In Billy We Trust

It's now 2am
Should probably get some sleep
Good night and GO A'S!!!

The Halos played "two",

must have felt like three.

That is not so smart
AN chicks will kick your ass
I would run and hide

No, I do not want to FIRE MACHA NOW, nor do I think Blanton is fat. Now leave me alone.

You are wise. :)

Some guys don't get it
I talk "rear" to piss them off
I think it's working

Do they believe we
Seriously think about
Ass all the time? Huh

Someone is jealous
We aren't talking about them
They can kiss my ass

Sir Haiku-a-lot

I like big butts and
I cannot lie; you other
brothers can't deny

May I break the form and say the quality of this discussion is shockingly high for haiku form. Except for this post.

Jamie Kotsay, man.

I think Jamie K.
Is the hottest wife of all
Even though she's blonde. :)

Dude. Click here. NOW. :) I *love* The High Socks, oh yes I do! :)

All this 'hot wife' talk.
I want to see for myself.
Someone have a link?

Is Kotsay's back back?
Payton seems just fine out there
But I prefer Mark

Haikuuu.

WHIP's very different
When said about J. Alba
Boys like the chains too.

So no Huston hate
'Cuz glue is for everyone
Life is about fun.

A's against Tigers
Let's hope they don't do something
To anger Farnsworth.

Not A's, but still baseball

Speaking of angry . . .
Sosa's foot hit the catcher
In the chest at home.

Did Rangers' pitchers
Backup their backstop Thursday
When Sammy batted?

Anyone with guts
Would intimidate Sammy,
Not just cameramen.

Farnsworth

Farnsworth has bad temper
He makes very good takles
Should play for the Lions

No, I do not want to FIRE MACHA NOW, nor do I think Blanton is fat. Now leave me alone.

The Farns.

Or maybe Farnsworth
Could be in the UFC
With our Rich Harden

Summer's the season
To forget lovers and friends

Once again

Fire Macha now

Firing Macha now
has AN obsessed, polls show,
in at least two ways.

My guess is it's cuz
equates to five syllables,
a line in haiku.

Why so much focus
on a middle manager?
Can he pitch a gem?

Athletics Nation
rants for a new guy next year,
not keep good old Ken.

Follow-up

Now just for some kicks,
rearrange the first letters
making a said phrase

(And by the first ones,
I mean for each line in the
earlier post there.)

Can you figure it?
A bit easy? Then respond
quickly in haiku.

Now here's one tougher
although it is on AN
usually each day.

Do the same on this
using first letters per line.
Darn, what phrase is it?

Mach.

Fire Macha now
Means they can hire Hatty!
Give Dad the office.
