Open Thread: Game 151 - A's vs. Angels (Cont.)

As_kings_cal_tiny by louismg on

After five innings, we have a real game on our hands. The A's are up 1-0 on the back of strong pitching by Greg Smith (only 1 walk, BTW) and an opportunistic double by Aaron Cunningham that plated Bobby Crosby in the fifth. The A's opted not to add on with the bases loaded and one out, so we're keeping this thing close. On to the sixth inning, A's!

Is this the right place?

I'm here to talk about the past.

Unsure.

It’s been so long since we’ve had two threads for a game.

Last night.

But he came back. And there was much rejoicing.

by Jennifer on Sep 17, 2008 8:44 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I wasn't here last night.

See how that comes back to bite me?

Tivo’d.

by VORP is too nerdy on Sep 17, 2008 8:45 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

It was a dirrrty thread.

Lots of innuendo. No, in your endo!

But he came back. And there was much rejoicing.

by Jennifer on Sep 17, 2008 8:47 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

In that case...

Maybe I was better off..

by VORP is too nerdy on Sep 17, 2008 8:48 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

That was a game thread?

I thought it was a “Our players are HAWT” thread.

I went to a game thread

and an orgy broke out

HAWT players winning!

i would trade

Ray Fosse, my cookie dough ice cream, and a pb and j if it meant we never had to finish behind the Angels in the standings ever again.

That's all?

I’d willingly trade Korach for Hudler if we never had to finish behind the Angels in the standings ever again.

by danmerqury on Sep 17, 2008 8:46 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Okay but just to warn you..

Hudler has a reputation for hiding injuries so he can make more money.

by VORP is too nerdy on Sep 17, 2008 8:46 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I'd stop talking about Dale and Ryan and Travis and Cliffy.

But he came back. And there was much rejoicing.

by Jennifer on Sep 17, 2008 8:48 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

True. I've probably heard Hudler more this year anyway.

Hawk is like listening to Beethoven compared to Hudler

Hudler has all of Hawk’s homerism, but he adds a complete inability to ever say anything entertaining or insightful. I love listening to Hawk talk about baseball, just not about the current White Sox. Plus, I love Hawk’s catchphrases. He makes the game fun as long you don’t care that he’s rooting for the White Sox (and I don’t mind a homer home team announcer). Hawk’s worst quality is actually bitching about the umpires.

The first rule of chronic depressives blog

Is that nobody links to chronic depressives blog.

The second rule is…
…
Oh, God, who cares? It’s just not worth it! I hate myself! I hate my life!

Smith is doing very good tonight

No. Must trade for prospects. Many prospects.

Smith looks great tonight

If he throws like this next year he’ll beat patient teams too.

into these threads, Nico. Very refreshing.

Hannahan has overwhelmingly proven..

that he will never, ever get ahold of that high fastball he is consistently late on.

I forgot to add him to my list of "baseball uglies".

Now that I think about it, the Angels have the ugliest rotation in all of baseball.

Can any one man..

no matter how good-looking.. make up for John Lackey? Answer that honestly.

Of course not

That’s why I called Slingblade the Black Hole of Sexiness in the first thread. He negates all hotness.
