PrintOakland Athletics at Los Angeles Angels, Aug 25, 2008 7:05 PM PDT
Well the game is pretty much meaningless in the grand scheme of things, but I still love beating the Angels if we can. It's not news, but I can't stand that team.
Any way, the A's send Dallas Braden to the mound and I think Braden has actually been pretty good this time in the rotation. Maybe it's just because my expectations haven't been terribly high for him, but he's looked good to me even if his results haven't shown it. His splits in August aren't good.
Here are his stats for the year:
The A's face Spicoli tonight in Jered Weaver. Ironically, Weaver has a similar ERA to Braden right now. Course he has a career ERA under three against the Oakland A's offense. Not that that's a shock or anything. Here are his stats for the year:
The lineups tonight are as follows:
The best news? We're a week away from September call-ups. I wonder who we shall see before the end of the year.
LET'S GO A'S!!!!!

+1 on the hatred
The local radio station here has an affiliation with both the A’s and the rats. I got in my car to go pick up dinner and heard the pregame kick off.
When I heard it was Hudler and the Angel’s broadcast on, I actually felt my stomach turn.
Let’s hope for another blow out win against them tonight. (A guy can always hope before the first pitch, right?)

AH! September call-ups!
I get to see them in KC! WOOT!!

I think I'm going the whole weekend.
I haven’t been to a game since AN Day!
"I'm telling you, I can't wait to put on that white uniform," Gonzalez said. "That will be the prettiest uniform I'll ever see."
I don't think I've been since the day after AN Day....
I better go to a bunch more games before the season ends…..

You're on sista.
We need to get tix for Friday.
"I'm telling you, I can't wait to put on that white uniform," Gonzalez said. "That will be the prettiest uniform I'll ever see."
Absolutely! You know me too well ;)
where do you want to sit? I’ll run over during my lunch hour.

I want to sit on Rich Harden's lap
but since that seat isn’t close to Oakland anymore, I guess somewhere in the stadium…..anywhere is fine….you want to call me when you find out what’s available?

I was going to the Royals/Rangers game tonight, but it was so nice I decided to stay home and play with the dogs. Little humidity… it’s in the low 70s. Just right.

I was trying to figure out whats been wrong with me all spring and summer, then I realized I’ve been missing my boys, big time!
I got to see them in Texas,
but I usually get to a few games at Kauffman a year. ZERO this year. I’m ready to see my boys. I don’t care how they are playing.

I actually like that Southwest salad at Mickey D's. Newman salad dressing is sooo good
I just buy bottles of it and make the salad at home. Also been obsessing over Greek salads with kalamata olives. i’m eating those olives right out of the jar.

black olives.... yummy.
And when I really want to get fat, I like them with sour cream.

I know Ryan already participated in hazing in Chicago. There is a cute youtube video out there. Ryan was a male cheerleader.
It’s usually the last road trip of the year. They will be in Texas going to Seattle at the end of September.

Not throwing no-nos but getting the job done.
