um hello
Hi there Oakland A’s. Congratulations on leading the AL in offense.
Jeremy was safe. He jumped over the tag.
what?
no runs for the A’s in this inning?
""These guys are a different breed of ballclub." - Twins manager Ron Gardenhire on the A's
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.
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.
there's only ten of us
we just type fast.

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?

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!

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!
I go to 20-30 games/year
I live in Oakland, just a couple BART stops away from the Coliseum.

Some of us can actually name players
who played in green and gold before 2002 as well…

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

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.

They Did
Leaving Bootcheck in was as close to throwing in the towel as anything I’ve ever seen
Everything goes better with a cup of tea.
That almost looked like a decision to try
and save all the other arms in the pen but the guy could NOT get that third out.

OMG
Stealing internet is horrible on nights like tonight when all you want to do is log onto AN and you can’t!!! Whew,
The kings remain missing, so they're playing with Eric Chavez Bobbleheads. "Chavvy does have six Gold Gloves," Brown explained. "That's good enough to be king."
I always liked these kinds of games when I was in HS
They were the only times I ever got to play

It’s the kind of game where he earned his sobriquet:

F*cking up tonight's game

If only Geren hadn't pulled Frank

With Murph in
Croz isn’t the only one w/o a hit tonight.

I love this team.

Braden

In the '70's
San Diego Stadium was one of the great pitcher’s parks of all time. You had to hit the ball into the stands for a home run. In the early ‘80’s they put in a low temporary fence that made the place a much better hitter’s park. Before that happened, though, both Jones and an aging Gaylord Perry put up such great numbers that they won Cy Youngs.
oh that's sweet
also kinda reminds me of Bobby Kielty

Most runs allowed by Angels at home

I'm pretty sure that ump is doing the Roger Rabbit.

Laughing at the Angels announcers
“Major league debut, 2 outs, bottom of the ninth, down 12. I bet you he’s still nervous!” Yeah, or pissed. “Thanks for making my major league debut the most meaningless AB in baseball history.

Frank Thomas on the KICU postgame show
Very cheerful and personable as always, says he is so happy to be back with the A’s, back on the West Coast, and back with a team that has so much positive energy. Toronto must really have been horrible to him.
The candy and the baseball all night long :)
