BBTN.
I remember during an episode of BBTN right before the start of the season and they were doing Web Gems of spring training. One of them was a diving play by Emil. Karl Ravich said something along the lines of: “Well there’s a bright spot. To bad there won’t be much of that to come, the Bay Area fans better get ready for some awful baseball this season.” I remember being so pissed as the BBTN crew laughed at the comment making fun of the A’s. I kept thinking to myself these guys have no clue. For two months I felt good about this team. Now…ummm…..errr….

You can't sit on a lead and run a few plays into the line and just kill the clock. You've got to throw the ball over the goddamn plate and give the other man his chance. That's why baseball is the greatest game of them all. ~Earl Weaver
3B of the future?
Why not look into our own system. Has anyone seen the numbers 24 year old Jesus Guzman has put up this year in AA? I know he’s struggling in AAA right now but he had a .950+ OPS midland with just under an RBI per game. I say once he turns in around in sacramento give him a shot in oakland.

And there it goes
They want to steal the land papers which is why they have tried to break in. But they had to give up after being bitten by Chhotu.

My bad about the ML hit.
I meant doesn’t have a hit since being called up for the A’s. I still like Bankston better there.
27 and counting...
see, they're both good

Cuz the A's seem to think this game is still within reach.

Please bring in Ziegler.
I’d like to see him pad the record. In a way it would add some excitement since we’d get to see some history.
What about Barry?
"Barry who?" Forst said, and I felt like I was in the middle of a knock-knock joke.
I'm not sure which thing pisses me off more?
Watching the A’s struggle or reading through a bunch of negative posts. I understand that people are upset but these threads usually help make it more tolerable. Usually.

I agree somewhat
Many of these guys are not going to be on this team next week let alone in 2010. I love to watch guys like Suzuki, Ziegler, Smith, Sweeney, Gonzalez because they might be the backbone of a good team for several years.
However, many on the team are dead weight.

Reminds of the D-Ray days with the heckler. We are going down a dangerous road here.

I’m a die hard fan, but I can’t see paying $50 or so for my g/f and me to go see this team play.

So, what movie should I watch after the game?
You know, to forget it even happened. Last time it was 300, but I’m not watching that again. Reminds me of the lame ex-boyfriend.

Whats worse about that one.
Usually he leaves the bat on his shoulder if it’s a breaking ball. That one was a straight fastball.
What about Barry?

AN Managers.
Whichever ones have had the mental toughness to write a game recap for any of the last few games and tonight’s gets a tip of the cap.

mauled by the Royals....
Sad. Very sad.
Why is it that Cust is completely incapable of fouling off a pitcher’s pitch when he has 2 strikes on him?
The guy can barely make contact as it is
Now you want him to make contact on a tough pitch, AND you want him to make just enough contact to hit a foul ball?
hah.
GAME RECAP IS UP
and ready to take strike three.
