was Barton fly ball almost a home run or was it a little pop up
Routine fly ball

Just got home to flip the game on, and I am overcome with feelings of:
1. I LOVE DUKE and am so glad we still have him, even if his second half isn’t going to be as good as his first.
2. I LOVE ELLIS and his high socks
3. I was actually kind of glad to see Staplehead. Why don’t I ever learn?!
can't watch
I know he’s 0 for 2, but how does Barton look? He hit a home run for Sacto yesterday. Any more aggression in his swing tonight, or is he still taking confused and defensive swings?
Easy there...you'll give away your secret identity with talk like that.

A's July collapse not just offense's fault
Guess which team leads AL in fewest hits, and second fewest runs, at 190 and 87 each, no, not our A’s,but the Rays, the AL East leading Rays. They’ve only scored one more run than the A’s, and had 10 fewer hits, yet they are in 1st place.
You know,

Ty Van Burkleo
I know Ray loves this guy, but what the hell. We have guys all over the bases – No outs, 1 out and we can never score the runner, advance the runner. Sox get Bay to 3rd and the rookie sends up nice sac fly. I know our hitting isn’t much – but we’d have to be able to score the runner every once in a while just by chance. Maybe Frank being in the lineup will help Cust out. Otherwise they can go back to the Castle AAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!
Enjoy the game

Well, Eck actually pointed, as in

OT - Do any of our guys do annoying stuffs? I can't think of any
Except maybe Hanny and his excessive junk touchage
That's because they're our guys
If he were on a rival team, you’d be annoyed by Street sticking out his tongue.
"Dispatch knuckleheadedness with Bond-like aplomb." –74mk
iglew, that's really not true
There are plenty of us who don’t like that kind of stuff even if it’s our guys doing it. Fortunately, the A’s don’t do a lot of that. I would HATE it if K-Rod did what he does on the A’s. I’d enjoy the saves, however.

The level of hate is different
Did we hate Kendall when he was a pugnacious jackass? No, we called him “gritty”.
"Dispatch knuckleheadedness with Bond-like aplomb." –74mk
I didn't care for it.
And the word I used to describe Kendall wasn’t “gritty” – it did rhyme with gritty, however.

Well, you got me there ...
... he sure was pretty! ;-)
"Dispatch knuckleheadedness with Bond-like aplomb." –74mk
Frankly
I have more respect for someone who charges the mound over ridiculous things than someone who think every damn save is equivalent (in his eyes) to the resurrection of Christ. Kendall has never been accused of bad sportsmanship, while f-rod is the very definition of bad sportsmanship. He is a cancer on the game.
The A's colors are green and gold.
DWright has his tongue sticking out in almost every picture I've taken of him
even when he is standing there doing nothing
That means he likes you.

Street seems snake bit this year
Should have had a 1-2-3 inning, bad luck infield hit, and then he falls apart a bit. Which isn’t snake bit so much as sucka bit.

once again, no offense puts us in this position more than Huston sucking
If we were up by 3, he may still blow a save, but getting 1 run in 10 innings is just crappy offense.

that too, but we've had days where our offense makes a bad pitcher look like an ace
