Who can name all 50?

by Shippee33 on Aug 17, 2007 9:04 PM PDT

So the Oakland Athletics this year have had a record number 50 players, swing through their turnstiles this season. So I post a challenge to all of ye who are up to accept it. Who can name (without cheating!!!!!) Off the top of your head all 50 Athletics to play in this very interesting 2007 season???? The grand prize for the winner(again who really does it off of the top of their head) IS the right to boast to all of us AN know it alls, and also a little bit of personal boast... but its also a sign that you might need to get away from your LED devices a LITTLE bit more often.... ANyway yall rock on, and may the best fan post 50....

Cheatsheet

Checked for the two I forgot...

Erasmo Ramirez

Justin Duchscherer

How could I forget The Duke!

I cheated by looking at the comments first...

I never would've remembered Erasmo.

though...

I do remember a monkeyball post questioning the logic behind some waiver-wire transaction that essentially cost us Ramirez and someone else inj exchange for...someone else. Probably Witasick and Lugo, respectively. He might have commented before it became known that Witasick requested a trade/release....

"Whoa, are you saying... a testosterone-addled Rich Harden, in a fit of misplaced aggression after growing several extra pairs, ran over LAXile?" Poppy

I had mine typed in Excel before I got here.

I just pasted it. But I might've had help on Melillo and Witasick. And I almost forgot Haren.

Almost a 25 man roster.

In search of a new signature. Say something funny and you may see your comment here!

Sad isn't it.

We had only 2 guys start tonight who played in the playoffs last year. Ellis (until Nathan broke his finger) & Swish.

Although a disappointing year, at least we aren't in the basement and we can still put together a mini-win streak. I would just love to ruin the Disneyland Candy ass's season by knocking them outta the playoffs.

by Hawk on Aug 17, 2007 9:56 PM PDT up reply actions

Just 2 more

and we could have a pack of 2007 Oakland A's novelty playing cards.

Go A's!!

by Phineas Quinn on Aug 17, 2007 10:25 PM PDT reply actions

two more Jacks, preferably

great promo idea

that's one i would love to get

by black beane and rice on Aug 18, 2007 10:06 AM PDT up reply actions

what would be great is

if someone would admit to being able to name the 50 sometime members of this year's mediocre squad from memory but not, say, all 50 states. Or any significant discrepancy in favor of the A's roster. I still remember an alphabetically-ordered jingle from elementary school for the latter group of 50, so I unfortunately am in the minus column. Probably minus 7 or minus 8 till I looked at Zonis' posts.
