Rookie Hazing Photos

Warning before we go: This will probably get out of hand. Boys, you've been warned.

I hope AN's server doesn't melt.

Star-divide


Do Ryan's horns look like....? And a wand? Swoon.


I think Greg is packing around a beer. And Brad, I love you to bits and pieces, but you are scary, dude.

I'm slightly disappointed.

EDIT: Large photo links!

Group Shot 1

Group Shot 2

Ryan

EDIT 2: Adding one more

EDIT 3: Brad and Greggles large photo link!

AHHHHHHH!!

Is Dale holding a beer in the first photo? Very lady-like.

by Kimberly on Sep 24, 2008 4:04 PM PDT   0 recs

Okay, never mind.

I just noticed that a lot of the guys are holding beers.

by Kimberly on Sep 24, 2008 4:05 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Yeah, I thought that was funny.

I guess they figure if they’re gonna make them cross-dress, they can at least have a drink while they’re doing it.

by whiteshoes40 on Sep 24, 2008 4:06 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Sweeeet.

Where’d you find that last one? The one I see on yahoo is much smaller.

Okay, name those rookies: Cunningham (from what Slusser said about the wig), I don’t know who the man in black is, Greggles, Gio?, Ziggy, Carlos (ahaha, adorable), ?, who’s the curly blonde?, RyRy (the slacker w/o the wig), Dale in the green?, and I fail on the last two. This is kinda hard.

by whiteshoes40 on Sep 24, 2008 4:05 PM PDT   0 recs

from the Slusser post (via the DLD)
Greg Smith: "skimpy candy-striped nurses outfit"
Dana Eveland: "tight police woman’s costume, complete with handcuffs"
Carlos Gonzalez: "sailor dress with ribbons on his stockings"
Gio Gonzalez: "Swiss-miss style dress, with ribbons in his hair"
Sean Gallagher: "French maid"
Ryan Sweeney: "devil girl" minus wig
Jerry Blevins: Hermione Granger…. "So wrong it’s right."
Aaron Cunningham: "very small cocktail dress of some sort and a blue wig"

There's no crying in baseball!

Okay, the bigger pics help a lot.

Pretty much positive that’s Travis in the Batman thing, in the back, but I didn’t think he would have to do it this year. That confused me. And that’s Cliff on the far right, with the little fairy wand. He looks cute.

by whiteshoes40 on Sep 24, 2008 4:25 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I think Travis is doing it this year

because he missed the end of last year with elbow surgery.

But he came back. And there was much rejoicing.

by Jennifer on Sep 24, 2008 4:26 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Re: Travis

Pleather leggings?

But he came back. And there was much rejoicing.

by Jennifer on Sep 24, 2008 4:34 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Definitely.

This is bugging me: who’s the guy with the long black wig on the left… Devine, maybe? I’m not really sure exactly what he looks like. And the guy on the right in the cowgirl getup, I can’t figure that out either. I think Baisley is the mostly hidden one, with the black wig and wearing something blue…

by whiteshoes40 on Sep 24, 2008 4:38 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Which one?

I think Jerry’s only in the last pic, the tall one in the back with the red hat and blond wig and the wand.

by whiteshoes40 on Sep 24, 2008 4:45 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Mmm... the man in black doesn't look tall enough to be Jerry.

Plus that doesn’t really look like a Hermoine costume. I dunno.

by whiteshoes40 on Sep 24, 2008 4:54 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Yeah, I think Jerry must be the one in the blonde wig & red hat

Very tall. I think the all-in-black one is just a witch, but not Hermione.

by schmifty on Sep 24, 2008 5:33 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Far right:

Outman?

But he came back. And there was much rejoicing.

by Jennifer on Sep 24, 2008 5:49 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Yeah

even in a tiny shot, you can see those Outman teeth

by schmifty on Sep 24, 2008 5:53 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Who is second from right?

But he came back. And there was much rejoicing.

by Jennifer on Sep 24, 2008 5:56 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

In the white wig?

Eveland, I think.

by schmifty on Sep 24, 2008 5:56 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Ah.

That’s right.

But he came back. And there was much rejoicing.

by Jennifer on Sep 24, 2008 5:57 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Pretty sure it's Eveland.

The way he’s standing is totally him.

by whiteshoes40 on Sep 24, 2008 5:56 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

What about the guy crouching in the front?

With the purple wig and wearing something pinkish, holding his beer in an awkward place. Could that be Jeff Gray?

by whiteshoes40 on Sep 24, 2008 6:03 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

That's Cunningham.

He moved from left to center

But he came back. And there was much rejoicing.

by Jennifer on Sep 24, 2008 6:07 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

But he came back. And there was much rejoicing.

by Jennifer on Sep 24, 2008 4:17 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Some of them have some very white legs…haha

by justarebelheart on Sep 24, 2008 4:07 PM PDT   0 recs

Yeah, they *all* have very white legs.

Also, is that a tattoo on Cunningham’s right arm? I guess so, or else it’s just a huge bruise…

by whiteshoes40 on Sep 24, 2008 4:09 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I like Ryan's gloves.

Ziggy does look scary. Wow.

by whiteshoes40 on Sep 24, 2008 4:11 PM PDT   0 recs

I love that they are all wearing shorts underneath

They should all be wearing ’hose. That would be awesome.

There's no crying in baseball!

Aaron is gigantor!

I had no idea he was so big!

by lynnzgal on Sep 24, 2008 4:38 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Yeah...

I’m sure all the girls tell that to Aaron.

I'm definitely in the wrong place

I'm here to talk about the past.

by 67MARQUEZ on Sep 24, 2008 4:15 PM PDT   0 recs

You can't say I didn't warn you.

But he came back. And there was much rejoicing.

by Jennifer on Sep 24, 2008 4:31 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I can do worse

than share the same space with a bunch of panting women.

Prefer pantless, but this will do.

I'm here to talk about the past.

Ryan has male model legs.

…which is a slightly creepy thing to say, but in the first group pic, he looks much more model-like than the other guys… and really, they can’t keep their eyes off him. Except Dale. Too busy drinking.

by whiteshoes40 on Sep 24, 2008 4:42 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

haha

Kimberly..classic comment…….anyways Greg is always sexy..even dressed as a woman and holding a beer. Ryan DOES have nice legs. Meow Ryan!!!! I personally think the rookies are tastey looking characters…I was scared by a couple though. Very scared! Brad has now scarred me for life. Love him buuuuuut..wow.

by ilovegregsmith on Sep 24, 2008 4:55 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

he's busy putting the "ass" in "assignation"

(Alternate, less saucy joke: we at AN are “A’s sig nation”)

It's just something we do. It's not something we like. @('.')@

by monkeyball on Sep 24, 2008 4:56 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Haha!

also . . . his wand should be red.

by lynnzgal on Sep 24, 2008 5:00 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Does Ryan shave his legs?!

…Wait, no, of course not. DALE shaves Ryan’s legs.

by schmifty on Sep 24, 2008 5:04 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

OH

MY
GOD.

Nice legs, Ryan!

I have been having the worst day in the world. Then all six A’s Magazines arrived at my house, AND, you dug up some aweeeesome hazing shots! THANK YOU SO MUCH, Jennifer! This brightens up my day exponentially.

DRESSES FTW.

by schmifty on Sep 24, 2008 5:00 PM PDT   0 recs

No problem.

It’s what I’m here for. :)

But he came back. And there was much rejoicing.

by Jennifer on Sep 24, 2008 5:16 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I actually asked myself

“Oooh… I wanna put these as my desktop! Hm, would it be inappropriate to use these as my desktop at work?”

Um, yes. Yes, it would be.

by schmifty on Sep 24, 2008 5:21 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

[cough]edits[cough]

BTW, save them if you want them, cause Sportsline doesn’t keep ’em long.

But he came back. And there was much rejoicing.

by Jennifer on Sep 24, 2008 5:23 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

No.

With the large photos…. hubba hubba. I’d do dirrrty things to Ryan, and I’d make him keep the dress on.

But he came back. And there was much rejoicing.

by Jennifer on Sep 24, 2008 5:37 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Personally

I was hoping Daric and Ryan were going to get a Nick Swisher/Joe Blanton type of costume…

by SwisherGirl33 on Sep 24, 2008 5:40 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

haha

i was hoping so too!

by ilovegregsmith on Sep 24, 2008 5:42 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

that's a lot of rookies

can I assume the A’s have the most starts by rookies of any MLB team?

by closetasfan on Sep 24, 2008 5:31 PM PDT   0 recs

Hmmm…

It may have changed recently, but the A’s were behind the Giants, believe it or not, the last I read.

by PositionPlayerProd on Sep 24, 2008 7:27 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

This is the best fanpost EVER!!!

Among my favorites: Sean G, RyRy of course, Smith has chicken legs BIG TIME….lol. I seriously did not know Daric was that wide in the waist and I didn’t know Cunningham was that big!!! lol Sean is probably the thinnest, well other than Smith. LOL

Quick question: Do the players go directly to Seattle or do they go home since it’s an off-day?

Brought to you by the letter A's!

by LiZaRdReVoLuTiOn on Sep 24, 2008 5:47 PM PDT   0 recs

direct to seattle

Ziggedy Ann...

…definitely my favorite of the bunch!

I was going to buy a copy of The Power of Positive Thinking, and then I thought: "What the hell good would that do?"

LA Times

Raggedy Brad was on the second page of the LA Times this morning. Had the headline:
WORST RAGGEDY ANN EVER. Got a scan of it. Don’t know how to post it here yet though.
These picts are awesome.
