"You may glory in a team triumphant, but you fall in love with a team in defeat."--The Boys of Summer
Anyone remember
the ‘74 ALCS clincher? We beat the O’s 2-1. We had one hit. And 11 walks.
No one? Damn.
I'm here to talk about the past.
YOU TOO, HANNAHAN

I was in Hawaii
In those days, we didn’t even get things live.

Anyone remember
yesterday? We scored eight runs in one inning on one hit. Ah, good times. You ’member.
I'm here to talk about the past.
It's easy to say "Barton's been unlucky"
when he’s robbed with a diving catch, but when you look at that last AB, the only reason it was catchable was that Payton was playing so incredibly shallow – which has to do with Barton’s rather putrid slugging pct.

I've seen Barton fly out to the warning track in left field more than a few times this year
Jay Payton’s just a really good defender who can afford to play shallow.

Perhaps the earlier comments on this thread
explain my being “unlucky”.
I'm here to talk about the past.
I remember seeing women fawn over Jay Payton at Spring Training a year or two ago
It was mind-boggling.
Thank you!
Finally, a woman with standards who will only fawn after good players.
"You may glory in a team triumphant, but you fall in love with a team in defeat."--The Boys of Summer
Just a little teasing.
Can’t help it.
"You may glory in a team triumphant, but you fall in love with a team in defeat."--The Boys of Summer
All bark. No bite.
Occasional peeing on self when bluff is called.
"You may glory in a team triumphant, but you fall in love with a team in defeat."--The Boys of Summer
I'd answer that, but as I'm incredibly bitter about the whole female gender right
now, I’ll just leave it.
"Aint love grand"
Or about 50 grand when it ends badly…

And why is he booking rooms for the A’s?

I hope they don't have red doors on those rooms

"I talked to Paul this morning and asked if he could acquire some chemistry from another GM whose team is out of the race. But I'm concerned chemistry might not clear waivers."

ya dont get me wrong, he's not really that good
but he did have a moment or two on the A’s

He has a .298 OBP this year
Pretty much the same as Crosby.

Oh c'mon AN, you're slipping. How did nobody not jump in here and say:
“I wish Crosby could too.” Or something along those lines.
Unless that’s what you meant…..and I’m missing things cos it’s 2am and I’m not entirely sober…
How was the Andorra game ?
As ugly as it sounded ?
by green star oakland on Sep 6, 2008 6:36 PM PDT up reply actions
And then some.
England should beat Andorra 300-0 on talent alone…..so to scrape an unconvincing 2-0 victory says it all.
I’m starting to think it’s just the players though, and nothing to do with the manager – under the last three managers (Eriksson, McClaren and Capello) they’ve played the same tired, slow, indecisive tripe. We ain’t winning anything with this bunch.
I wanted to say - Jay was kind of like Emil in that way
99% suckage, and just when you thought the team would finally ditch him, he would do something just well enough to make the team feel obligated to keep him.
actually he played reasonably well in 2006
the A’s did well not to re-sign him, but he was productive when he was with the club
LOL - From Vince:
“Up in the bullpen for the Orioles, Dennis Sa-fart-ay”. It’s “Sar-faht-ay,” but I like his way better.

"However, at Elias, I think they keep track of the amount of sunflower seeds spit in a dugout each night." - Brad Ziegler, 8/7/08
I'm surprised he didn't get Patterson's spikes embedded in his face.
But he came back. And there was much rejoicing.
That was not a catch.
But we’ll take it! In other news, Cal is up 59-3 vs. Washington State. :-)
More than just ANtics: http://www.louisgray.com/live/
It's a conference game
Not Berkeley’s fault that WSU sucks this year.
"However, at Elias, I think they keep track of the amount of sunflower seeds spit in a dugout each night." - Brad Ziegler, 8/7/08
Wow. The team is starting to have a different "feel".
Maybe they’re starting to mesh a little bit. Could be a good omen for next season….or wishful thinking on my part.

Jeff Gray sighting.
Apparently he exists.
"You may glory in a team triumphant, but you fall in love with a team in defeat."--The Boys of Summer
Maybe it's Jason Windsor with a new name
And, heopfully, a new and better arm.
It wouldn’t be the first time an A’s pitcher got a new name.

They showed him throwing in the pen.
He looked suspiciously like DiNardo now that you mention it.
"You may glory in a team triumphant, but you fall in love with a team in defeat."--The Boys of Summer
Are we thinking Beane has pulled the old switcheroo and put Lenny in a jersey
and said it’s Jeff Gray?
He's been on the 40 man roster forever...
without an actual sighting. He’s become something of a mythical legend around AN.
"You may glory in a team triumphant, but you fall in love with a team in defeat."--The Boys of Summer
If Halos win, they officially have the best record in MLB
for now.
And I hate that.
I see the future. I see cake.
That wasn't too bad of a move by AJ
Because with 2 outs, a runner on second is about the same as a runner on third. It was a mistake, but not a terrible one. Especially because Griffey is up and Griffey blows.

Was just watching Plays of the Week
One of Emil’s spectacular non-catches made it.
As well as Blanton’s kick-save of Harden’s low liner.
And that failure of a bouquet-throw by that bride at the Coli.
But I think he ripped the ass out of his pants on the last slide.
But he came back. And there was much rejoicing.
this is random
but does anyone know where hatteberg is at right now

Mostly Sweeney.

I saw a really old guy at Kauffman Stadium wearing a Flogging Molly shirt.
But he came back. And there was much rejoicing.

I’m going to be laughing the rest of the weekend at that.
If you’re not lying, i recommend seeing a doctor. @('.')@
I still don't know the difference between Flogging Molly and Dropkick Murphys
but I know I dislike at least 1 of them. Bagpipes + rock = no.
Bagpipes + rocks
"However, at Elias, I think they keep track of the amount of sunflower seeds spit in a dugout each night." - Brad Ziegler, 8/7/08
Ah, well, you got me there
I think the association between bagpipe rock and Boston teams is what makes me dislike it
At least the Dropkick Murphys' name is pretty awesome.
And no, I’ve not heard of either band…..‘cos y’know we produce good music over here. :-P

aw Jay, now that really sucked
and after I complimented him, too

'Cos all he does is scramble. That gets you killed in the pros (and he's taken a
few big shots in this game alone).
That's true, but that's how he's most effective.
Plus I bet Tebow’s pretty big. I bet he does his fair amount of damage on the defense as well
Did we just win a series?
Really?
"You may glory in a team triumphant, but you fall in love with a team in defeat."--The Boys of Summer
We're going to rip off 21 straight (if there are even 21 games left, I've not checked
the standings for a while, far too painful).
A sweep, no less
I’m assuming that the first game rain-out won’t be made up.

No game tomorrow?
Because the O’s owners don’t want to compete with the Ravens, as if there is competition! The O’s haven’t been good in 20 years, and I think it’s bull that the owner can change games like this. Totally messes up the A’s. I say stick to the schedule! Nice job by the nibbler tonight!
I think it would just make for a really effed up traffic situation if the O's and Ravens played on the same day, that's all
Camden is very very close to the Ravens’ place; they use many of the same parking lots.
Heaven forbid there be a traffic inconvenience
Better to cancel a game entirely.
