Hello.

You’re not at the game too?

Looked like Croz had yet another new batting stance there

Brilliant.

He's a "five-tool player" in that

he can strike out in five different ways.

I just made my dad come watch it, too.

I figured out how to download it, yesss now I'll have it forever.

Unlike the old A’s commercials… looks like they took 2005/2006/2007 off the site :( At least, I can’t find them. Makes me extremely sad.

Just saw the score...

This is like the seventh asinine post that either implies or directly says that the guy isn't trying or doesn't care

What sort of brain damage is required to assume that because a guy either had a bad game or simply isn’t good enough that he doesn’t care or isn’t trying? How do people actually make that leap?

by thejd44 on Aug 29, 2008 8:57 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

I think Morgasm knows that

He is making light of the fact that Meyer sucks and cannot do anything about.

I hate unproductive outs and the A's are producing them at record production

At least Morgasm's isn't a CGV

You mean someone's taken a pneumatic rivet gun and bolted you in place?

Ouch.

I'm not judging

Whatever you’re thinking of when you do whatever it is you do… in private… alone… in the dark… is just you being you.

And that’s OK.

Greetings all

Coming to you live from a rather nice hotel in…….Fremont. No kidding. It’s my idea of a luxury weekend.

Actually, my hotel is very close to the site

and I got lost on the way here and started driving through a strangely undeveloped area…..

What is this

hitting of the ball with the bat that these “twins” are doing???

Much easier to take a game like this after a couple of W’s though…

A 10-run 9th would be neat

The good news:

Aaron Cunningham is 3 for 4 with a grand slam tonight. :-)

The bad news: Carlos Gonzalez is 0 for 3 with 3 strikeouts. :-(
