Open Game Thread - Game 99: A's @ Rays (cont)

Baseball_tiny by baseballgirl on

It's 4-0. The A's have six outs to work with against someone not named Kazmir. Will it matter? Not likely, I'm afraid.

Top of the eighth we go. I applaud ANers still here.

Thank God we're not facing someone

named Strikthree.

I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal

9 runs scored in our last win.

9 runs scored in the soon to be 6 losses since.

Not sure,

but, generally speaking, the worst politicians (like journalists, academics, etc) are LIFETIME politicians who’ve never earned an honest living.

I don’t know Frist very well, but I know he’s not a lifetime poly.

by Terrekain on Jul 21, 2008 6:41 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Just to clarify

My comment actually had nothing to do with Bill Frist, and was merely a play on words on the common AN refrain “Christ, what an asshole.”

Nah.

His Terri Schaivo “diagnosis” pretty much solidified his asshole cred.

I know, no politics. Blah blah blah.

does Uncle Lew watch the games?

I know Billy has a problem with that, but isn’t the word that Lew likes to watch? Surely somebody has to notice how not entertaining this team is right now. Go get Dallas McPherson. Go get Val Pascucci. Go get every AAAA Custian slugger that can be imagined. I’d so rather watch a beerleague team than this crap.

Oh yeah, right here in my back pocket.

Actually I have no idea how heroin is stored, so that may make no sense.

I think it comes in baggies like they have at the Metrodome.

Pulp Fiction deals with this topic.

I just sent a bunch of prints to him today. Figured I’d wait until a couple days before the end of the roadtrip.
