CALLING "SWOONEY'S LEFT FOOT"

Swooney's Left Foot - please send me a private email ASAP. Now to get to the required Fanpost word count, let me say:
Jack Cust stricks out too much!
If only Garen knew what he was doing this team would be in first place!!!
I think the A's need more offense - what does everyone else think? Maybe get Bay or Holliday but don't give up our good prospects?
What do you think our 40 man roster will look like in 2021? Here's what I think it will be, following a series of 28 exact trades I predict will occur...

Since we are just shouting Monday morning blubs, Here goes....
Crosby’s last ten games: 39 AB’s and only 7 hits for an avg of .179….. I wonder if Peter Gammons still and Mycheal Urban still think the letters MVP should still be tied to his name ever again!!!
With a 2009 outfield of CarGon, Ry.Sweeney, T.Buck, E.Patterson, and the new Jay Payton who Beane will sign later on, Oakland A’s fans can remain hopeful and optomisitc for the year!
When is MiSweeney coming off the DL???

As long as my unconcieved child is starting for the 2035 A's I could care less about the rest of the roster.
Oh, and I’d have to think about Petit+Buck for Bay, it’s a lot to give up.

We need to get rid of him and then well be in good shape, maybey we could get Manny or Ortiz. We need to stop letting the Yankess and the Red Sux sign all of the good players!!!!

Season One was good. Season two was alright.
It will take a while to make sense of season one but each eposide leaves you guessing/ wanting to see the next one. But the back story set up good for the second half of season one. Season two picks up where season one ended and has some good story lines but was cut short b/c of the strike. BUt like the above comment says. WATCH this show

I just rented the first few discs of the first season, so if I’m not on AN for a while, it’s probably because I got really addicted to “Heroes.”

I find that there's seldom, if ever, actually great tv.
There is, however, a lot of good tv. Some that requires some reasonable amount of lower standards/expectations, but really, the question is, “is it entertaining” and Heroes is.

I'm sure you could easily say it was inspired by X-Men
and it certainly draws enough parellels that it may have borrowed from it, but it wouldn’t call it a rip off of it.

Is that a Wienerschnitzel in the background?
I don’t think I’ve seen one of those since the early ‘80’s.

Yeah, that's on park st. in alameda
the 4th of july parade. how could I forget that goat?

Yes, it was part of this marching unit, whose message I think we can all endorse
At the end of the parade, there was a group of teenagers whose job it was to clean up after the many horses who had been part of the festivities. I couldn’t help noticing this young man:
Future ANer.

Considering what he's used to,
he should have no problem with our offense!

Is hilarious because of the situation. I read it as poopin, ahaha.

There used to be a restaurant in El Cerrito
called “Phuping Thai” – can’t imagine why it closed down.

Hey,
I got an extra Dick Williams bobblehead yesterday, even though I only got to the game about 10 minutes before gametime. Pretty surprised. Anyone want to trade one of the Stewart jerseys they had a couple weeks ago, which I missed out on despite getting there by 11?

"Surpised," I assume, by the fact that nearly 10,000 fans showed up
and they weren’t insisting that fans take two?

No Stewart jersey here
But I will trade you a Suzuki Bobble for the Williams.

wow, the world is upside down
it’s fair to say that having read this post this morning, I didn’t expect 12 Recs when I checked in tonight. haha

This thread is nothing without a bunch of crazy tags.
Children, until we have taught them better, will be perfectly happy with a seasonal round of games in which conkers succeeds hopscotch.

the only thing you are allowed to do is
write a fANpOsT about how:
1) cust sucks
2) these trades WE are making are all bogus
3) Beane sucks
3) we need more players with RBI ability like Emil Brown in the beginning of the season (but you can also note how this ability has temporarily and somewhat mysteriously disappeared)
4) how youve lost complete faith in the A’s this season and that you give up your fandom until somebody proves to you that the A’s want to compete
I notice that you have 6 comments. You should have at least 7 fAnPoSTs by now.
