All hail Lords Selig, Hill, and Goren! TODAY'S A'S GAME MOVED TO 12:55

by monkeyball on Aug 16, 2008 11:08 AM PDT

Thank Ba'al that my Saturday-morning routine includes reading the fishwrap version of the Chron, otherwise I plum woulda missed this.

Today's game, originally scheduled for 6:05 PDT, has been moved up to a 12:55 PDT start time to accommodate the regional FOX telecast.

So, I guess we're not supposed to complain that we the A's get quasi-national media exposure, right?

Instead of considering this an open thread to vent at Unka Bud Seligula, FOX Sports, and the entire mainstream sporting media ... let's make this the what's-for-breakfast? open thread.

Peet's macchiatto, Acme sourdough cheese wheel, and local peaches and blueberries for me.

[I'll have the game thread up later. Just figured it was best to get a notice up here.]

take a closer look at that "snack mix"

If you’re drinkin’ Corona at 11 in the morning, I have a sneaky suspicion your “snack mix” may consist of cigarette butts, bottle caps, and Cheetos.

There were a lot of stupid, long confusing words that I’m sure normal people don’t use. @('.')@

Been up a while

And I have definitely seen a few nasty party leftovers of that sort in my time. And does Corona Light actually count as beer?

Enjoy the game

Ohhhhhhhh, Corona LIGHT

No, that’s not beer.

OK, I lied

Kate Hedlin, STATS Writer, seems to be under the impression that Carlos Quentin hit 2 HRs yesterday, and Jack Cust only hit one. C’mon, lady, that’s embarrassing.

Poppy and Flashfire may be the only ones who care about this ...

… but I even eat mayo on bagels.

If I'm eating a sandwich with a bagel as the bread, I'll put mayo on it.

im up to second lunch here

They did mention the start time last night

I was assuming the A’s were not worrying about TV. How about last night? No Giants on standard cable, A’s special on CSN, A’s game on CSN. A’s game in HD – YES!!! A’s win in HD!!! (in grand fashion) Anyone here go with their dog? what’s the upper bleacher section like today? Crap, I need to go on a beer run (way better than a nacho run)

Enjoy the game
