um hello

Hi there Oakland A’s. Congratulations on leading the AL in offense.

Jeremy was safe. He jumped over the tag.

I have a vague feeling

we’ll be seeing another one of those “LOSE” graphics on HH later tonight.

Scioscia's lost without his pitching coach.

Or maybe Nick Adenhart will be pitching in place of Moseley.

Call of the night:

“So Dustin Mosely has a 1-2-3- inning!! But, its still 14-2…..”

The hate is really flowing over in Halos Heaven

I’m honestly curious

how does a somewhat worthless, frequently relocated franchise like the Athletics without a dominant winning tradition in recent memory have such a strong e-presence on the internet exactly? Athletics Nation is ridiculously active, despite no one ever appearing at the park, and without any real reason for bandwagoners to exist. It’s seriously confusin.

I wonder the same thing.

I live in Iowa now, so I can’t get to many games, but lived near Sacto until 3 years ago and used to go all the time.

Some read stats. Fans actually watch the games.

You guys are in the area code

Isn’t there someone here from NZ?

I would go to all the games up there if I could. But I’m in Angels territory, so I mostly get out to away games.

Blez has created a monster franchise.

Whereas Rev dominates Halos Heaven, we’ve got a number of good front page guys, Ziggy, celebrity interviews. You want it AN’s got it!

by WaddellCanseco on Apr 28, 2008 9:48 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Right on

Blez has writers. The Rev just has a troll – himself.

Bay Area

where sportsfans are also good writers.
SuSlu just an example. All of AN quite seasoned, clever, intelligent.

Down in LA, if you write, it’s all Hollowood, and Lakers.

i would be at more games if the price

of gas and hotels hadn’t almost doubled in the last year… most years i’ve been to at least four games by now, but this year i don’t think i’ll make it until july. oh, and it’s easy to hang out online when the game is never televised in your market!

by NVAngela on Apr 28, 2008 9:49 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I go to 20-30 games/year

I live in Oakland, just a couple BART stops away from the Coliseum.

Reading this again, this might be the dumbest post of all time

“how does a somewhat worthless, frequently relocated franchise like the Athletics”

frequently relocated? LOL The team has been in Oakland for 40 years

“without a dominant winning tradition in recent memory”

First a team being in the same city for 40 years is a “frequently relocated franchise” but now a team thats played in 3 world series in the last 20 years doesn’t have a recent winning tradition. Make up your mind son lol

“any real reason for bandwagoners to exist. It’s seriously confusin.”

lol @ at an Angel fan not understading the concept of a non-bandwagon fan

by sactownbull on Apr 28, 2008 10:01 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I'm honestly curious

Why does a an-overpriced, frequently renamed franchise like the Angles with a spotty “winning tradition” over the last 10 years even have a fan blog at all? Halo Heaven is ridiculously dull, despite everyone appearing at the park in the 5th and leaving in the 7th, and without anything but bandwagoners, why does the blog even exist? It’s seriously confusin to any real fan, with a brain, who can both write and type.

ESPN is now officially dead to me

They just spent a couple of minutes talking about Roger Clemens affair with some country/western singer.

Stealing internet is horrible on nights like tonight when all you want to do is log onto AN and you can’t!!! Whew,
