Happy New Year!!!111

Why would any man need a wife if he had AN? Right here, I can interact with a bunch of boobs, constantly be told I'm wrong, and be blamed for things that I don't even remember I said three years ago. So may 2009 bring more of what makes AN great, such as:

* "Patterson, Pennington, Casilla, Bowen, and Hannahan for Yunel Escobar - I know, five players is a lot to give up but Escobar is pretty good."

* "o no here we go again. your not allowed to say anything bad about beene on this site even though he made the kelty trade and how did that work out?"

* "How can you not want Garret Anderson to DH - the guy doesn't strickout nearly as much as Cust!!!!111"

* "You're wrong!"
   "No, you're wrong!"
   "I feel sorry for you for how wrong you are!"
   "Your wrongness is so blasphemously and blatantly absurd that it brings wrongness
    to a whole other stratosphere of wrongness!"
   "Not true, PT."
   "Yes it is, grover."

Thanks to my second-most dysfunctional family for keeping me off the streets and in my underwear, and here's to more lively banter in 2009!

haha

for all of our bitching and moaning, all of our righting and wronging, it’s nice to know that at least we’re all here supporting our favorite team.
Happy New Year everyone. I look forward to the 2009 season and a full year of our banter…

I haven't gotten into an argument with PT in a long time

but I don’t remember our discussions ever being that cordial or brief.

Hey, Nico. Remember the comment I made to you that earned me a strike way back when? I’m thinking it right now.

Hopefully 2009 will be a lot better than 2008. And Nico, you have one excellent marriage with AN. Or at least you know the rules.

It was so inane that I shut it off.

Somebody died, or something.

A bit of a downer after that glorious ending.

Thanks Nico

My other dysfunctional family kept me from writing today. I understand if I’ve been fired.

I'm here to talk about the past.

Actually, you've been promoted

We didn’t expect quality at the level of blank space.

I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal

2009

I haven’t been this down on the A’s in a long time. But just for this season. 2010 looks brighter.

I’d be happy if Eric Chavez was healthy all season. Travis Buck was healthy. Aaron Cunningham had a 2008 Nate McCoulth type season. Is that too much to ask?

Winter banner?

Easy:
