I dunno what the hell I’ll use when I leave here. There seems to be A LOT of stuff left on the street here, and I’m not trying to be cute or witty. An inordinate amount of “stuff” just left outside on the curb. It’s kind of…creepy.

Hey, I exchanged messages with Craig himself

about some problem or other.

I was quite impressed that thee Craig Newmark would personally give a careful and thoughtful response to a minor “nag” I sent.

I took the opportunity to give him my personal “thanks” for having originated/invented/created etc craigslist.

Incredibly, unlike so much of correspondence on the internet, HE RESPONDED A SECOND TIME!!!

Apropos my comments, there were people in NYC abusing the rental system. Professional agents were posing as “common folk” and not paying for their listings. Craig Newmark wrote them, saying “this is Craig Newmark, of craigslist, and you cannot…etc etc.”

To which the New Yorkers wrote back, ” You’re ‘Craig Newmark’??!! Hey, I’m the Emperor of France, if you need to know, so beat it..etc etc”. They ignored his admonitions for a while, until actions that spoke louder than e-mailed entreaties brought the reality to them.

Everytime

(snd it’s VERY weird posting in a game day thread two days after, but I just now saw this) I see someone who’s not listing in the right spot, I mean professionals trying to pass themselves off as “normal folk,” I report them. Every listing. It’s kind of a sacred idea to have these things remain free and unspoiled by the marketplace. Or to allow the marketplace in, but be able to easily set them aside in favor of a real person to person contact.

Oh, I didn't have a hand cart

I was picking it up, carrying it a few feet, setting it down to take a break, and so on. Fortunately I was moving it from my friend’s house (two blocks from a BART station) to my place (four blocks from a BART station), so I only had to carry it for six blocks total.

Alan Embree- get a new pitch, ur fastball isnt scaring anybody
Jack Cust – KKKKK
Bobby Crosby – how many times is this guy going to be behind in the count 0-2?
Eric Chavez – career is over
Lenny Dinardo – scrub
Mark Ellis – regretfully so, always liked him but its time to start new

anybody else agree?

I have a theory about Huston

I think that his suckage is due to his trying to learn from veteran presence Embree. Embree mockingly calls him “smoke and mirrors” and encourages him to “go after hitters”—but Huston is far better if he actually uses his slider to set up his fastball. And now both of them are “going after hitters” and getting ripped.

But then, I’m drunk, so what the heck do I know…

For the record, Jack Cust's OPS has slipped under .800

And for our supposed big “masher,” he’s only slugging around .425 or so although still getting on base at a decent clip.

Might be time to reevaluate just how valuable Cust is… after factoring in the league average hitting, the atrocious defense, the inability to hit anything other than a fastball, the inability to make contact…

"We were s--, pathetic," Guillen growled early in spring training. "We hit too many home runs."

Actually

He has been missing a bunch of fastballs as well.

Don’t know what’s wrong but it is very bad.

how many of his recent ABs end in K

Seems like way more than 1/2
It’s not working for me.

59 percent K rate for July

On another note DFA is batting .302 for the month.

Damn

Damn.

Where is Antonio Pereze when you need him?

Keep in mind

Cust is a streak hitter. That’s what he always will be.

When he’s going bad, he looks absurd. Always.

Yes, but

this is more like falling from a cliff.

Problem is

He’s been downright horrific more often than not this year.

April .188/.388/.281
June .207/.339/.402
July .197/.321/.439

Granted he had a very good May but when you’ve basically sucked 3 out of 4 months in the season, well that’s not very good is it? It’s fine if he has streaks where he’s going bad, but he needs to have good streaks too. And so far this year, that’s happened rarely.

Geren

Don’t waste Ziggy and Blevins if you’re only going to hand it over to Embree.

We can all Miss Cleo what happens next.

Problem is that there is no one left

We were down 6-5, so he’s saving Huston in case we tie or get the lead. Casilla isn’t who he used to be. We need Devine back in a hurry!

Lets see

DiNardo
Embree
Street
Brown
Casillia

Street’s for the Save / Win, so there is only gas left over.

I'd rather see Embree give up a run or two in the sixth inning

and have Ziggy and Blevins pitch in later innings than to have the A’s concede with Embree late in the game where we have less chance to come back from it.

We gotta catch the Angels.

It looks like they have a better chance than we do this year. Just do us a solid and knock the Angels off. Don’t waste your bats this year.

When was the last time

the A’s were in 3rd place at this point in the season?

Can we ditch the hitter in your sig also?

I’m tired of his small feast and large famine

GAME RECAP IS UP

Here.

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

I guess I left almost at the right time - right after it got to be 8-5

I’m just glad I got to see Ziggy tie the Major League record, even if he allowed the inherited runner to score. At least, all those runs in the 9th made it a little easier to stomach him giving up the run.

Still planning on going to the rest to see him hopefully break it.
