DLD 8/11/08: Some Good Memories of This Season

PrintAn essay: Possibly there will be a link or two.
So... this season turned out bad, just like last season, but we had some good moments, possibly justifying our fanhood. All memories apply only to this season, not hope for the future.
1. Japan
I was a critic of this trip, as it represented an injury risk to every player, a reduction in home games, and a requirement that A's fans keep absurd hours to watch their team.
I was wrong. The Japan trip brought a measure of excitement to the opening of the A's season that would not have otherwise existed. Opening day is always exciting. Scoring the first run of the season always causes a fist-pump that doesn't occur later on, and the game outcome seems more important than any other until September, as we all forget over the offseason just how long the MLB season is. The Japan trip created great excitement for me. I felt privileged to have my team starting earlier by a week than the others, and it was exciting to change my sleep schedule around A's ball. I was incredibly pumped upon first pitch in Japan to the extent that it made me forget that the A's didn't have a good team. The A's lost that game, rather spectacularly, and I would say it was the most brutal loss of the season, causing me to scream angrily and hurl my shoes at the pavement/parked cars. But: I still have a fond memory of watching the A's open the season with a few die-hards in the middle of the night. Something magical in fact. As unhappy and pissed off as I was, in retrospect it would be hard to have worked up the requistite passion for any other A's game, and that is worth something: it was damn exciting. And the A's repaid us with a nice win the following morning. Waking up at 3:00 AM to pre-season-but-it-counted A's baseball with a 4-thread AN showing was awesome. I declare the Japan trip a glowing success.
April 27 vs. Seattle: The A's were surprsingly still in the thick of the race at this point, and so was Seattle. The A's were facing Felix H. who had dominated them over the past several starts, and has the best stuff of any pitcher in the AL. The A's were at risk of fading at this point, and dropping out of the pennant race as soon as had been expected. Felix was utterly dominant for 7 innings. I have rarely seen such dominant pitching with the exception of other Felix starts against the A's. Hope seemed lost. But the A's managed to rally, with big hits from the RBI machine and Cust, to score 4 runs in the 8th for a hugely satisfying victory.
May 7: Many bad things happened vs. the Orioles, but a kickass slide from Hannahan led to a walkoff HR by Ellis.
May 24: Duke's 1-hitter vs. the Sox. I enjoyed that a lot. A lot. Duke humiliated hitter after hitter, leaving depressed Sox fans to chant in their heads "I'm a doooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooche" as they proceeded shamefully to their favored means of transportation, the douchemobile.
June 3: Jack Cust walk-off IF single. I like Cust. And he's kinda fast.
June 26: Harden gem. I don't want to introduce sad notes here, but... Watching Harden pitch was worth all the losing (though not worth all the wondering what could have been if he were able to pitch at various times.) He had a no-hitter through 5 or 6, and absolutely mowed down the Phillies. I fear we will not see a talent as great as Harden dominate hitters for a very long time, if ever, but it was a joy to watch.
No particular date: As long as Mr. BZ (the one who is good at pitching) maintains the scoreless streak, and the equally exciting (to me) no-xbh streak, the season remains exciting and well worth watching. And it had plenty of excitement before.
Add your own memories! Or links! Yes, links! I mea!nt to write something about fond memories of the Japan thing but I couldn't stop! And now I can't help but end sentences with exclamation marks! The only cure is good links and discussion from the community!

Swimmingness:
if you haven’t seen the men’s 4×100 free relay, see it
(i refuse to download silverlight so i dont know if this is it, or if it is just the story).
im a long time swimmer- competed against Piersol as a kid, and admired Lezak when he was swimming for Santa Barbara.
This is the greatest race i have witnessed in my entire life. It will be remembered as one of the greatest of all time, especially if Phelps goes on to win 8 golds
You can watch the video without downloading silverlight.
I know nothing about swimming (except how to) and that relay was CRAZY! It was like watching the playoffs in any major sporting event.

Was it just me...
or were those announcers two douchebags? I muted the television before the first leg. “How many times in the last two weeks blah, blah, blah France. France. France.” The announcers ended up looking stupid.

Rowdy Gaines, bless his heart, was a serious Debbie Downer the whole time. Didn’t think the US had a chance, and even during the last leg, said something along the lines of “the Americans will be settling for silver”.
And then we won.
"we"? :)

I went to my first Giants game of the year over the weekend,
and I decided maybe PT had a point about “we”....
The A's colors are green and gold.
is it really an important enough issue to bother formulating a position?
if someone says “we” on AN, isn’t that just an easy way of saying the a’s?
if someone says the a’s, that could mean some other a’s, like maybe the now-defunct modesto a’s, shouldn’t they say the oakland athletics? what, that’s stupid because we all know what they mean? exactly.

but the Giants have a really irritating ad campaign…

i have to say, though i am on the side of the no-we’ers in that argument, that race really felt like “we” to me.

"Don't be an ass!" --Bill King
Weirdness on top of weirdness on top of weirdness
(Something to keep in mind if you’re planning to attend Dog Day At The Park)
Weirdness Layer 1: South Korean biotech firms are cloning puppies for $100,000 a pop. Set your yuck reflex and silly moral quandaries aside, my friends – we’re talking cost efficiency here!
The customs service estimates the cost at 60 million won ($60,260) per clone. It costs about twice that to breed and train a normal sniffer dog, but only about 30 percent are good enough to make the grade, it said.“This all came about from the question of how we could secure dogs with superior qualities at a low price,” commissioner of the Korea Customs Service Hur Yong-suk said.
Weirdness Layer 2: The research teams churning out these facsimile puppies are affiliated with Hwang Woo-suk, best known for claiming all sorts of stem cell-related “breakthroughs” that later turned out to be based on lots of made up s—t. (d’oh!)
Weirdness Layer 3: A sweet, cheery, wheelchair-bound fiftysomething American woman had her steadfast pitbull companion Booger cloned, and is now the proud owner of five little Booger copies.
Okay, that part isn’t really weird. But wait …
That sweet, cheery dog lover? Back in 1977, she kidnapped a Mormom missionary in the UK, chained him to a bed, and forced him to repeatedly, uh, do stuff. He escaped, and she was tossed in jail. Out on bail, she fled to Canada disguised as a mime artist (I’m not making this up), and eventually made her way back into the US, where she proceeded to stalk the poor guy a bit more.
McKinney explained at the commital proceedings that she had fallen head over heels for Anderson when they were at college together in Utah, adding: “I loved him so much that I would ski naked down Mount Everest in the nude with a carnation up my nose if he asked me to.”...
In 1984 she was arrested after Anderson spotted her loitering near his place of work in Salt Lake City. When the police searched the boot of her car they found a length of rope and a pair of handcuffs, but charges against her were dropped after she once again jumped bail.
And that pitbull she cloned? It might be the same one she busted free from a dog pound in 1993, where it was awaiting its doom after mauling two joggers.
Woo-suk

I haven't been assiduously monitoring the DLD's.
Does the DLD best practices manual suggest scouring transcripts from the previous week prior to posting?
I can’t tell if your tone is meant to convey snarky irritation or not, though I confess to having a similar (confused) reaction to a large number of your posts. I guess I should be relieved you didn’t post a too-clever-by-half film still obliquely referencing my obtuseness, because then I really wouldn’t have known which end was up.
I think this is xbx's way of saying, "I like you."
Children, until we have taught them better, will be perfectly happy with a seasonal round of games in which conkers succeeds hopscotch.
Are the dogs cloned for pet or meat purposes?

There was this one time
I was playing goalkeeper on a corporate soccer team, and this obnoxious guy made a great shot for a goal—top right corner, I had no chance. So several minutes later, he’s coming up the field again, with the ball, and I start yelling: “Go ahead! Shoot it! Take a shot!” So he shoots it, and…top right corner again, right past me.
“Nice shot.”
I’m apparently the less annoying variety of trash-talker.

We’re only a couple days in, and I’m already sick of all the commentators and the Olympic theme and the random NBC “Bay Area Proud” inspirational commercials. It’s funny when the “experts” blabber on about certain people, the “favorites,” who then go on to lose. (Like Pellegrini and the French woman whose name I can’t remember now—we heard so much about them before the race, and neither of them even medalled.)

a few of my good memories of this A's season
First was actually being able to see the two games in Japan, which started at 6 am where I happened to be at the time.
Seeing some of the better starts from Duke, Harden, and Greg Smith.
That Sunday game with the 1960’s Campy jersey giveaway. The place was packed, the team looked great in those unis, and they won!
Celebrating Frank Thomas’ 40th birthday with a win (he unfortunately also got hurt, but it was still a good win).
This weekend I’ll be back to RAF status…and I’ll be cheering on my team no matter what.
I loved watching the first game of the season too...
although it was in highlights cause apparently the underwater tv cable linking Japan and the US was cut, or some satelite fell from the sky, cause the game weren’t never on the tv.
But at least whoever was responsible apologized to us…and by us I mean the Red Sox fans specifically. Then A’s fans only after they sent in a signed letter proving their existence to MLB and tv, blowing their minds that we are actually here. “By the way, the A’s “fans” as well.”
I remember how good Jack Hanrahan was in that series…he shoudln’t have changed his name. I hate fox! I could continue ranting, and it probably would have been better play-by-play and color than we got for reals.
Who needs homeruns?
6/21 vs. Marlins:
Harden has a strong outing, Street blows game twice, Suzuki wins twice, including walk-off double in the 11th. And it was 91 degrees at gametime. A’s win 7-6.

Hmm
Well, at least we weren’t determined to be the #1 least loyal fans in baseball, that distinction went to the Angels. We were only the #3 least loyal:
3. Oakland A’s
The A’s are one of the few teams that had to cut ticket prices twice in the ‘90s, and even that couldn’t get people out to Oakland, Calif., to see the team. Attendance rose considerably when the team started to win during the early 2000s, doing so on a steep enough curve that it called attention to how little support the A’s had when times were rough.
"Don't be an ass!" --Bill King
3-2 W vs mariners
i think it was mid-june, but the A’s were down 2-0, got a couple of solo HRs to tie and everybody’s favorite emil brown knocked out another solo shot to win it in extras. it was an afternoon game, and i had forgotten about it until probably the 6th inning. being on the east coast, the game was getting close to the end at about the same time as my work day, so with the office empty i watched the end on mlb.tv. it was awesome.
RIP 2008 season of promise…
