PrintOakland Athletics at Seattle Mariners, Oct 1, 2009 7:10 PM PDT
Man, time goes way too fast. Was it really eight months ago that I attended my first AN function? And let me tell you, I have no idea why I was so apprehensive. What's the worst that could have happened? It's not like I was meeting up with perfect strangers in a lonely warehouse in downtown Oakland. Oh, wait.
And now here it is my last game thread of the season. Sigh.
But I have surely enjoyed the ride. It didn't take me long to get over my fear of hanging out with random internet people. One month after fANfest, I was on a plane with a group of AN'ers, headed to Arizona for Spring Training, where we took pictures with Ken Korach and fought over Nico's banana. Somehow we found some time to watch baseball.
Near the end of March, a bunch of us got together for a little soul-cleansing community service before heading to the ball yard for beers and dogs and more beers. It was there I fell in love with Brett Anderson, not so much for his pitching prowess, but for his spring uniform digits (67, duh).
(Wait, this is starting to sound like an essay on "How I spent my summer vacation." Oh.)
After that, it seemed I couldn't go anywhere without bumping into bloggers. AN (Opening) Night (where I was introduced to mikev's Big Ass Grill TM) was followed by a Saturday ball game with She Who Shall Not Be Named (gotta protect the innocent), and on the way to say hi to LongTimeFan, we stopped to chat with the DogParents.
It was on a cool May evening that I attended a contest between the A's and Mariners with OaklandSi, lynnzgal, pam5981, gigglingone, and wes7 (if I am forgetting anyone, shoot me), who all helped shake the 67M jinx (at the time I was 0-6) with a come-from-behind 4-3 win.
As the season turned sour, the threads took a different kind of turn, while OAH turned heads (bloggy-style). Meanwhile the DLD lacked for links, and ultimately the first "D" was no longer for "daily" (more like "discontinued").
Who can forget when Rated-R and Lexi were all the rage? Or more to the point, when Rated-R wasn't so, well, R-Rated?
The team would teaA'se, and the Gilmore Girls would rally the troops. And when we won, fireworks!! As the season wore on it became easier to keep score of Leopold Bloom's comment count (love ya, babe) than it was to follow the actual game.
So why do we call them "Game" Threads, again?
I caught up with a few AN'ers in Cooperstown (including Mr. Staturday, aka, devo) and in August, attended my first AN Day! Lynnzgal wowed us with her shrimp and Gigglingone whipped up a batch of personalized cupcakes. There was also a pretty awesome cake, a very large sign, and I got a picture with my fellow front-page pals: baseballgirl, Flashfire, Nico, and some cool guy named Tyler.
Hey, did you know you can comment on Athletics Nation from your phone or PDA? SB Nation has launched mobile commenting. Check it out next time you're at the game or bar and have something to say. It's true; my niece did it from DFA's phone.
Last month I saw a Thursday night game with the aforementioned nameless lady (killer seats), and we won! The next night I went again- same result. So what the hell, I decided to take my nephews on Saturday, and the G&G made it three in a row!
67M Curse, my ass.
Somewhere along the way, me and Stomper hooked up.
Pause.
And I would have re-posted all the pics from this magical, if not successful, season, but one photo-filled post per day is all I am allowed. It's in the contract, trust me.
So before we get to the, um, game, I just have to say (oh no, he's getting sappy) that while life surely got in the way at times, it was nice to be able to escape with a very unique group of people. If only for three hours.
And I thank you for it.
Last road game of the season. Make it a good one.
Ladies and gentlemen, your lineups:

Question (stupid one I realize)
Is Safeco’s roof closed or open?
No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....
Hah
No it’s not. Nevermind, I should stop asking. I should assume on days like this it’s closed. (Makes me wish I was at the game to see what it’s like though.)
No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....
Rain has been intermittent, lots of starting and stopping
I’m about 20 miles north of the stadium, but I imagine it’s the same story down there.
"Go ahead and overachieve, you scrappy Brett-Favre-colored walk-takers." —Rev Halofan
I know iglew
But I bet it’s wetter in Edmonds or Lynnwood (or wherever you’re at) than it is in the U.
No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....
True.
I’m in a wetter microclimate.
"Go ahead and overachieve, you scrappy Brett-Favre-colored walk-takers." —Rev Halofan
Yeah that's why you guys get hit so bad with snow
And the U doesn’t get nearly the same amount. I don’t get what’s so different about Edmonds, but there is something about it. I really felt bad for people north of Marysville last winter when it snowed. That must have been hell for them. Hell, it was awful for Seattle, and everybody.

It has to do with how the wind currents
come through the Sound. Certain areas are sheltered while others aren’t.
"Go ahead and overachieve, you scrappy Brett-Favre-colored walk-takers." —Rev Halofan
I believe you
Edmonds is much closer to the Sound than this part of Seattle is.
No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....
I'm inland, not in Edmonds.
(though I was in Edmonds earlier this evening, come to think of it).
It’s not just close to water. Everett is on the water and it gets less rain than Lynnwood. There are latitudinal zones. The whole area between North Seattle and Everett gets more precipitation than either city does.
"Go ahead and overachieve, you scrappy Brett-Favre-colored walk-takers." —Rev Halofan
Ah that makes a great deal of sense
I’m glad you told me. (No sarcasm.)

Sorry,
I was just going by what Gameday said.
Hey, Raburn! YOU ever dive into the shallow end of a pool?--noava22
And it's not your fault
If you had walked outside not knowing any better, you would have assumed it did. (The pavement is wet as it usually is.)
No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....
And just because it's wet here doesn't mean jack
This is a true story. I walked about 15 blocks to the 7-11 and this toook about 15 mins or so. By the time I got to 7-11, I had probably about 15 raindrops on my sweatshirt, and that was when I walked into the 7-11 itself. Rain in Seattle is a myth. It mostly mists. < / rant over >

I love the mist.
I hated this summer, when it was dry and hot almost every day.
"Go ahead and overachieve, you scrappy Brett-Favre-colored walk-takers." —Rev Halofan
I'm used to it being from Sac
I bet September was nice though given it was in the high 60’s all month. And, I’m with you. I love the mist in the winter because it’s far more warm than it would be otherwise. (Makes Seattle very liveable.)
No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....
I lived in Oakland for 15 years, so
I’m used to dry and hot, too. Doesn’t mean I like it. It’s part of why I left.
(Admittedly, that one hot spell this summer was hotter than anything I can remember in Oakland, though. Crazy.)
"Go ahead and overachieve, you scrappy Brett-Favre-colored walk-takers." —Rev Halofan
That part of the Bay has better weather than Seattle I think
Much better weather. (One reason so many people love it there I would guess.) I went home last December for a few days (unfortunately—it was for a funeral) and when I drove back to SFO, and this was during a foggy nasty morning in Sac and the Central Valley, it was all clear and beautiful in the Bay at the same time. I can’t imagine there are a lot of days like that, but there is no way that anyone in the Bay can complain about the weather given how it is.
Oh, and I moved up to Seattle for similar reasons as well. I get tired of 110 days.
No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....
I don't mind the temperature so much,
I just hate it when the sun is out every day for weeks on end. I’m happiest when it’s overcast and drizzly. I don’t need it every day, but at least once or twice a week.
I go back to Oakland every December, so I usually miss the snowstorms up here.

I love sunny days
I couldn’t live in Seattle although it is a beautiful city and I’ve enjoyed some good times there.
I spent almost a month in Sac in September
I really loved that it was Sunny every day.

Fall & Spring are the best time of the year
Brilliant weather anywhere really those times of year. It’s only the Summer that is really brutal there. And, when it rains in the wintertime is not really fun either.

You like the sun. You can’t be human and COMPLETELY hate the sun.

It's true, I do like the sun sometimes.
Just not every day.
One of the joys of Seattle-like climate (this year excepted) is that you can actually appreciate the sun when it does come out.

I grew up in Graham Wa.
Imet my hubby at the U of Wa. I miss living near my family but I love living where the weather is nice. Cold is not my thing.
Can we PLEASE have a victory tonight?
Another loss to Seattle is just too depressing to contemplate in my current mindset.

God f'in dammit!
I said this last night, and I’ll repeat it:
Offense that doesn’t hit HRs vs. best defensive team in a long time = not many runs.
"And Julio Franco is batting right-handed!" -- Wayne Hagin, A's radio play-by-play, mid-80s
I'd rather have gap hitters than HR hitters though
You can’t have NO power, but HR’s are overrated especially at the Coliseum.
No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....
Every A's playoff team has hit a lot of homers
It is very hard to sustain a rally there — sequential offenses have a hard time succeeding.
And if you hit it in the gaps against the M’s, they catch it.
"And Julio Franco is batting right-handed!" -- Wayne Hagin, A's radio play-by-play, mid-80s
It's probably a good thing the A's only play the M's 19 times a year then.....
I understand your point. Mine is that balance is probably more important than anything.
No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....
I agree with balance
since you can always face circumstances that restrict a particular kind of offense — cold and wind blowing in (no HRs), pitcher/catcher combo against whom you can’t steal, etc.
But the A’s have been in Oakland for 40 years, they’ve won something like 15 AL West titles, and those teams all had lots of HR hitters. I’d have to look at the records to see how each one finished in team HRs by season, but from Reggie/Tenace/Bando/Rudi to Armas/Johnson to the Bash Brothers to Giambi and Tejada and Chavez and Stairs, good A’s teams have always hit lots of homers.
"And Julio Franco is batting right-handed!" -- Wayne Hagin, A's radio play-by-play, mid-80s
Yeah but all those guys ALSO drove in runs other ways too
Your point is well taken though. (And, I agree with it on that token.)

You hear that all the time, but
even when gay didn’t mean homosexual, it still wasn’t synonymous with happy.

It's a kind of happy, but the words aren't interchangeable.
You wouldn’t say, “On a dreamy Sunday afternoon, lying on a peaceful riverbank watching the clouds drift by, I feel truly gay.”
Nor would you say, “Stop moping around feeling sorry for yourself. You need to dress up, and have a happy night on the town.”

It's Early
Since it’s early, I don’t think that grade will last.

The First Test
The first test was worth 100 points with 25 more points possible due to extra credit problems. I earned a 123 out of 100. That’s why my grade is inflated.

Lol grade inflation.
Wow, 25% extra possible extra credit? That’s a serious dose.
My Government Teacher
My government teacher hands out extra credit like crazy. I once earned eight points worth of extra credit because we had to list all 17 names of the girls in our class. I got the most, which was 15, and he gave me extra credit.

What did he do?
No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....
LOL
I feel the same way with Dr Pepper, Chedder & Sour Cream Lays, aand chatting here.

hey, what you do with your sour cream lays is your business
and should not be discussed on this kind of blog.

How is it that this new thread isn't posted on the front page?
Guess I’m kinda late to the party cause I don’t do a lot of (if any) game threads, but I thought they all appeared on the front page?
