You see Kim Novak in the TCM

She was a gorgeous woman in 1955!!

It was pretty.

Too pretty.

Maybe Lew Wolfe can pay the players $300.00 each to grow Mustaches and long hair.
Then Sweeney would be rugged.
He didn't
And if one of you had to, I’ll take this way.

The A's colors are green and gold.
I recommend the gymnastics. Dramatic.

Veteran savvy by the A's, fooling the runner into thinking there were 2 outs...

Geren probably had Embree warm up so when he comes to check the gameday thread later...

I have a theory that we would win more games
if every time a runner got on base he would wander off the bag and get tagged out or, better, just forget how many out there were and run on every pop up and fly ball.
If that happened, we could win maybe 3-4 games a week, even with our offense (which is on full display tonight).
They should have a new make noise sign
Make Noise or We’ll put Embree in!!!

Or if we ignore a different adjective, we could include the A's entire team!

Yeah, his and all the Giants’ call ups.

It’s like thinking you’re getting a great dessert, then they take it away!
Embree up, just to whet the TB hopes! Then, “You’ll get nothing, and like it!”

What's with this guys
97, 96, 98, 96, 97, 97, 94, 96
He throws the same pitch every time.
if only it was 75, our guys can handle 75.

One thing about Emil Brown
He can hit a major league fastball.
Okay, whatever, probably not, but it sounded good.

I like how Ziggy has been so good
that he has worked his way up to the highest pressure situation in baseball.
Pretty impressive.
Oh, Dale.

Double play would've been nice but that's definitely a good fly ball to get

He was out for like 4 months. He's been good when available, but
that’s not been enough for my liking.
38 innings! New Oakland record all-time! Save! Win!

of course, the A's will sweep the Rays...
and, the BoSox will sweep Texas. Kind of a bittersweet victory.
Foolsh, the most insane regular poster on AN since oaktoon left - salb
The hitless wonders take the win!
Yikes, Ziegler had a few of those pitches up in the zone.
Rays: No Crawford + no Longoria = uh-oh.
true test
most clubs have at least one episode like that. Red Sox already lost Papi for a while…Yankees…lotsa guys.

Is there any reason...
...even a bad one, for keeping Barton in the lineup? Poor guy looks completely overmatched at the plate. Is there a first baseman anywhere in the organization that could do worse?
