I actually don't think the pun is true
But it’s still funny.
I think Wash preferred Texas. I think he interviewed for both because he would have taken either job, but if he were offered both, he’d take Texas. I think Billy knew that, and that’s why Billy didn’t offer his job to anyone until after they found out if Texas would choose Wash.
Of course that’s all speculation and we’ll never know, but that’s my theory.
"Dispatch knuckleheadedness with Bond-like aplomb." –74mk
watching BBTN
theyre discussing what a 3rd base coach does (yawn), and Chris Singleton just gave a glowing review of Wash’s skills in oakland- all the scouting he did of various outfield arms etc.

I'm trying to figure out how many runs have scored against the A's
in the past year and a half when Geren left a pitcher in one batter too long when EVERYBODY ON THE PLANET knew he should’ve taken him out. I’m guessing it’s around 75-100 already. He does this stupid crap at least once a week. Last week he did it twice and cost them the game.

Angels Style Baseball
Unlike the A’s … the Angles understand that a 3-0 lead is a much, much bigger lead in the 7th inning than a 2-run lead, so they are willing to give up an out and move a guy over into scoring position. On top of that, the Angels actually practice bunting, so the guy actually puts a good one down with 2 strikes. The A’s never would have bunted in that situation. We can debate it all day long, but the Angels like to put the pressure on, on, on, whereas the A’s want to wait for someone to hit a big home run. Seems to me that when the club had Giambi and Tejada, that made good sense. With today’s club, it’s insanity.
Dude.
By game thread standards, that was like, an epic post.

My dislike of all things Angel is pretty level
but I’d have to say the Rev is the worst.

The Rev just resorts to personal attacks when he isn't happy
Take yesterday’s loss to for example. He posts a picture of Gallagher on his front page and spouts off about how ugly he thinks he is.

then K-Rod.
HR power is certainly expensive, and it makes things much easier. It’s kind of like owning a car, as opposed to rent/mortgage, which is an absolute necessity; the baseball equivalent is pitching; and, yes, that makes the Rangers homeless overpass trolls. -Monkeyball

No.
Relievers may only pitch one inning at a time. Then everyone gets a turn.

There will be no complimenting of K-Rod
No matter how much he deserves it.
Ryan Sweeney: I probably irrationally embraced him before you did.
I need to go to a game in Oakland so when I yell “BOOOOOO! YOU SUCK F-ROD!!!!” I don’t have hundreds of people turning around staring at me. Or at least if they do it will be without angry faces.
or any other American league city

I want to see K-Rod and Manny Ramirez in a fight to the death
The winner gets a cyanide salad.

K-Rod and Man-Ram
Sounds like a gay porno…

Well the last part was me telling him to shut up because of his yelling. The rest was my anger in the form of random key punching. :)
Ah. I caught the STFU part and figured the rest of it was therefore coherent.

If anyone has built up enough points to be fucked over, it’s F-raud.

I was saying to myself.
‘Just don’t strikeout’
Our hitting isn’t good. At all.

Duke on the mound, spite in our hearts. It’s in the bag.

If an Angel doesn't get hit tomorrow, I'm going to be very unhappy

When F-raud falls over after a pitch
can someone nail him with a line drive?
I’ll take him getting the save if he gets a line drive charley horse.
Green Hulk Fists
Ya know, I think of that every time he pitches. Like how is it even possible for him to field the ball if it comes back to him since his BACK is to the plate?
The arrogant asshole doesn't think he needs to field
I sincerely hope some video clip of him getting a line drive bounce off his body awkwardly sometime in the not to distant future.

Tomorrow
Hopefully Saunders’ wife delivers right around game time, so either
1: He’ll be distracted
2: a replacement will come in unprepared.
Pleasseeeeee.

It was going to be tough to score 3 but it sure would help if these guys
would take advantage of the belt high fastballs they got before they failed.
I undertsand taking pitches early in the game but in the 9th you have to be looking for a pitch to hit and K Fraud always throws at least 1 fastball right down the middle.
I would have been happy if he had got a line drive right back at him in the shin area
