I wasn't sure which diary post thing to tag this onto, so I figured I'd make my own. I was also not planning to stay up to catch the replay of the game at 3AM... haha so much for that idea I guess...

Anyway, I'm sure there will be better quality pictures up soon from somewhere, but I did my best to capture the moment by recording a video of my TV with my digital camera. I have the video to share too (it's just over 1MB), but I'm not sure where to put that so you all can download it.

EDIT: got it up on YouSendIt. here's a link... hope it works for ya! THE VIDEO

What other team would do something like this? hahaha it's awesome. GO A'S!!!

I don't know how much bandwidth they allow...

but http://www.yousendit.com/ is a great site (like imageshack) that can be used for large files. Just enter your own email address into the field and then post the link!

Great pictures, too. He looks so much like him, only much stronger!

I love Bobby Kielty.

The scary thing is that my red-fro husband seems to love him even more.

is there a more fun team in baseball? i mean come on!!!

go A's!

by IsotopesWinAGame on Aug 11, 2005 9:00 AM PDT reply actions

We were

listening to the pre game show on the radio sitting in traffic, waiting to get to the game....as soon as we heard Ellis's interview and heard about the Ronald McDonald sighting we couldn't contain our excitement!!! That is classic A's...we were laughing and cheering for our A's and the game hadn't even started yet... the people in the cars next to us thought we were insane... hahaha
That had to be the best lead up to one of the best and most exciting games this year!!!

leave it to our team to have fun and loosen up before getting a huge win... I Love the A's!!!!

Lets Go Oakland!!!!!

Awesome picts, thanks.

Now if I could just see Kendall's tag of Young at the plate I would be happy.

by natsirt on Aug 11, 2005 9:24 AM PDT reply actions

what tag?

but seriously, Zakolantern posted a mirror of my digitization at http://www.putfile.com/media.php?n=KendallPlay the day after The Tag.

And while you watch it, re-read the threads Walk-off Web Gem and In the End: Jason Kendall for some of the best spastic commentary west of the MIssissippi.

By the way, if people post the RonnieMac video, they should post it at putfile.com (I think Melody pointed this out...?). Yousendit.com say they expire the links pretty soon.

Any chance of it with sound?

I missed the first 2 innings because of the Giants game, and the fact that FSN FORGOT TO AIR FSNPLUS!

by Zonis on Aug 11, 2005 5:41 PM PDT reply actions

no, sorry!!

i recorded it at like almost 4am and i didn't want to turn the sound up too loud... plus its rex hudler and steve physioc talking... so do you really want to hear that? haha basically they just made a comment about how sometimes after a game like tuesdays you need to do something like that to get everyone in a better mood... or something like that. i'm sure if someone else saw it they might remember more. they also made a comment about him juggling and how he also hits well from both sides of the plate.

during today's game they played a longer clip of him juggling and talked about how the team is so easygoing and whatnot and they're like a fraternity.

hope that helps haha
