let's go (to) san jose
actually… how would we chant if they get renamed into the san jose A’s…
100% Athletics, 100% Baseball. 2009 Athletics, 40% Baseball.
Uhoh.
We chant “Let’s Go Oakland” because we can’t really do anything with “A’s” or “Athletics”.

Watching the game on TV
Was wondering if the Angels were really playing as bad of defense as I thought they were. Had to check AN for confirmation. Total schadenfreude! I love seeing them fail.

freak me in the ass
24 hour hold, it’s like one of them god damn hand gun laws, you know, so you can’t blast the head off that brother-in-law right fucking now?
Sheesh.
I can watch but not text. Eat me, Markos, this sux.
Seems to me like trolling = wrong
no matter who’s doing it where. Too bad about not being able to off your brother-in-law, though.

Dang. I was hoping Girardi would get confused
and pull CC for an A’s pitcher so that Napoli could HR.

top 5 moments of 2009
Was when A rod got nailed in the elbow by an A’s pitcher. Who the hell was that again? Late August game, he was wearing elbow guard but the pitch was amazing in its ability to find the perfect crease in the joint and nail him. Funny.
^^ laughs ^^
That was it, the thread was funny as hell, did the trainer bring A-Rod’s purse with him as he escorted him down the line after his armor-all elbow got plunked?
Heh. Good times.
No!

Hey all. Just dropping in for a sec.
Guess I’m rooting for the Angels by means of the lesser of two evils theory.
The only time I root for the Yankees is when they play the slegnA
Feels good to watch them shoot themselves in the foot and have balls land 100 (feet in between two morons) from home plate for RBI Hits.
And of course to see Scioscia storm out of the dugout when a call goes against them.
Or the one at the plate ...zeroing in on the catchers signals

in the Bottom of the 9th they played Enter Sandman on their booming PA, it certainly pumped up Brad Lidge making him pitch like Mo, Good Mo.

Exactly
Go Dodgers.
The ideal scenario for the rest of the Yankee-slegnA series would be that every game goes 25 innings and all the pitchers arms fall off so they are no good next season.
All the key hitters get HBP’s on the wrist are with 90 plus fastballs and I cannot think of anything else.
Anything to add Nico?

the sleglets
played so sloppily and with seemingly total inertia in this game, WTF?
Defensively SO not panther, more like planter.
Sabathia was huge, huge, HUGE, all cheeseburger references aside.
Hey, I just bought the team from Lew Wolff... who wants to play third?
I watched the game at Kimballs with some friends
Kimball’s set up a small area with couches and tables and a plasma TV (instead of the projection TVs that they usually have), and it was quite living room like. decent draft beer, so-so wings, ok hamburger and nice thick cut fries. The owner was quite talkative, and the other employees and customers were very friendly. All in all, a reasonable place to watch the game.
I dislike both teams, so I wasn’ too invested in the outcome…but the slegnA did absolutely nothing to deserve winning…and CC was great to watch.
Holy crap, The Onion + Me = <3
Not Knowing How To Celebrate, A-Rod Breaks Champagne Bottle Over Teammates’ Heads
MINNEAPOLIS—Following the Yankees’ Game 3 victory over the Twins in the ALDS Sunday, Alex Rodriguez demonstrated a complete lack of understanding of the most basic celebratory techniques when he broke bottles of champagne over several of his teammates’ heads. “We were all screaming and cheering, but he just laughed in this weird monotone for a minute or so, then lifted his arm straight up, smashed a bottle on Melky [Cabrera]‘s head, and rubbed the shards of glass into Melky’s eyes,” teammate Robinson Cano said. “He fired a cork into [Nick] Swisher’s face from point-blank range, too. Then he just ran around in tiny circles for about 10 minutes. It was bizarre.” Rodriguez’s publicist later released a statement of apology indicating that, from this point forward, the Yankee third baseman would jump on home plate with the rest of his teammates after game-winning hits, and would no longer try to lick everyone’s face.
