Game threads are loaded with sarcasm I realize

But doesn’t anyone else thing Braden is throwing pretty well. He’s getting squeezed a bit by the ump, still he’s making a lot of good pitchers.

Oh, and we just homered, so I’m guessing things will get more positive.

by RLangford on Jul 22, 2008 5:19 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

He's throwing many, many balls and getting lucky.

But Barry Zito did that his whole career in Oakland, so maybe he can ride it out for a while.

It's a thing we do here

to make fun of ESPN’s mispronunciations during the opening series vs. the Red Sox in Japan.

Hannahan, to whom they referred as Hanrahan, hit a HR during that series, which caused MikeA to comment that you can’t spell Hanrahan without an HR.

The moment’s gone now. Thanks.

You know what?

I think it was just the white shoes that made him look fat. Red is really quite slimming.

He also wore one size too small with the A's

This kit still leaves him room to grow

When your shoes match the color of whatever's right above them (high socks, in Cuppa's case)

it’s slimming.

Reverse case in point: now that Richie’s got white pants leading to blue shoes, he looks a slight bit chunkier.
