what's for lunch/brunch?
me; omelet with spinach, mushrooms, sunflower seeds, tortilla, pico de gallo and guacamole, plus a BIG cappucino made with freshly ground beans. (I think I eat best at home!)

Amen to that!
I had a hard time deciding which "announcing team" I loathed more on Sunday. K&K on FSN or M&M on ESPN.
I selected K&K on FSN because, even though it was an all Bay Area game, you wouldn't have known the A's were playing if you weren't watching. They'd rather spend a half inning talking about how some fan (who would make Lou Seal look like a poster child for Slim Fast) missed a foul ball than talk about what was going on in the game.
I would sort of expect that for an away game, but not one within spitting distance of the home ballpark.
Saturday's game wasn't much better. Hey, FSN, thanks for putting the "away" crew on the home broadcast.

Speaking of the other team's announcers
I was looking at the Extra Innings schedule for April.
Total A's games in April: 27
Games carried by EI: 24
Times they carry:
The Oakland feed: 6
The other team's feed: 18
PUT IT ON THE BOARRRRD...YESSSSS!!
That would drive me nuts if I were an NRAF. At least you get the Oakland feed for the Tuesday home opener.

it doesn't sound bad enough to totally disable him ...

Krukow
I have the same problem I have with Hudler. I get the impression that he flat out makes up quotes from players. They just don't sound convincing. They sound too-Hudlerized. Or Krukowized I suppose.

ATT Keeps spamming those "switch to us, we're redsox fans" comercials
making me want to cancel my phone service.

Well, only a hour and 40 minutes
of potential productivity before the Nationals game starts. I hear the beginning may be very worthwhile.

Joe Morgan
who had the privilege of rubbing shoulders with athleticsgirl24 yesterday, will have to settle for chatting with George W. Bush in the ESPN broadcast booth tonight.

Duane Kuiper
I like how old Duane kept emphasizing how "these games dont count"...ex: "Sanchez finishes at 0-3 but thats ok, these games dont count". Whatever makes you feel better my friend.

Although any team playing Juan Pierre at DH
should immediately forfeit the game.

Indeed
Juan Pierre= overpaid, overrated garbage...he says he cant figure out why he might lose his job to Ethier, well let me help you out bud, youre supposed to be a leadoff hitter and your OBP is sorry at best and youre hitting well south of the mendoza line through spring training (with the most ST at bats of any player in Major League Baseball). Bottom line, you suck.

So was there any reason mentioned
for why Travis Buck came out of the game so early? I was getting a beer and missed his bunt single and by the time I got to my seat, he was out of the game! I was (am) so worried something happened to him.
Sunshine Biscuits? Yes, please.

I hope he's fine, but if not then...it's...
Bring on the first Gonzalez!

Rotoworld is reporting that...
Fiorentino was called up today from the minors. That could only mean one or two things, couldn't it? Buck is hurt or Ryan Sweeney is heading down.
Go A's!

link please?
I checked Rotoworld but couldn't find this item.
by OaklandSi on Mar 31, 2008 7:19 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Nope...
they took it down about 15 minutes after they put it up.
Go A's!

interesting
I've seen errors at Rotoworld before...so it's not necessarily true
to be honest, I wouldn't be surprised to see someone DL'ed (JINX!), sent down, DFA'ed or traded before Gaudin comes back.
by OaklandSi on Mar 31, 2008 7:42 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yep...
I looked for confirmation elsewhere after I saw it on Rotoworld, but nothing from SuSlu or (not surprisingly) the A's official site. We'll see...
Go A's!

Today's game again meant nothing. But again it's always nice to beat the Giants!

Link to commercial?
Hey guys, First post here, but lurking for quite a long time.
Anyways, I was at A's vs Giants game on saturday and they played a cool commercial on the big screen. It went through some of the memorable action during the 40 years at the coliseum. For example, It showed krazy george and said 'This is krazy', it showed Chavez and said 'This is gold', etc.
I liked it, and just wanted to see it again.
