Open Thread: Game 160 - A's vs. SoCal Seraphim of Santa Ana

Los Angeles Angels at Oakland Athletics, Oct 2, 2009 7:05 PM PDT


Devilsangelsposter02_medium

They sold their souls for rock-n-roll first-to-third.

Hello again, RISP-lets of the GDParadigm, and welcome one and all to the final homestand of 2009, as the Athletics, fresh from getting their asses kicked through the goalposts of Hell in Seattle, return home for One More Red Nightmare against the AL West Champion (getting sick of saying that yet? I know I am. I hope Billy Beane and David Forst are.) Angels.  The A's send Gio Gonzalez (6-6//5.73) up against Jered Weaver (15-8//3.84) in a rematch of last Friday's boogie-down, which saw Gio prevail 3-0, striking out 7 and walking merely one in 6 1/3 innings of sparkly quicktoss.  If Oakland can sweep 3 this weekend they will take the season series from the Halos, who currently hold a 9-7 advantage.

Star-divide

Billybeanettm_medium
You down with OBP?  Yeah, you know  me.

Speaking of Mr. Beane, word has it that Tyler Blez has scored a straight-from-the-horse-trader's-mouth interview on the whys and the wherefores of the 2009 season (and more than a fleeting glance at what 2010 may hold for the green-n-gold) with the man himself, so be looking for that coming soon to a front page near you.  As for this game, well this is how it sets up, replete with a Matt Carson sighting behind the Magic 8 Ball :
This'll be my last supersubby workout on the game threads before I start doing it for reals next spring, so I wanted to thank everyone here again for making me feel welcome and so much a part of the AN-times here... 2010 should be another level of Chaos entirely as I venture forth with the laptop and head for season ticket seats at the RF foul pole, where Tuesday night game threads will originate next season if all goes according to plan.

Can I get a LET'S go OAK-LAND!!??!?  Amen and you all have a tremendous winter, and may all your stoves be hot.

Love, Josh.

confuses Jered Washbrun with Jered Weaver when reading the name. It always takes me a few beats to figure it out.

I'm happy and sad for this weekend.

Happy for tomorrow and the fan thingy after the game (I’m taking lots of pictures) and for the tailgate on Sunday. Sad that this season will be over at around 4pm on 10/4. :-(

speaking of, my monkey

brought her two kids and her dog to work tonight (went away, came back). The dog was the cutest thing I’d ever seen. It’s part dachshund and part lab. It’s like a little long weiner dog that’s all black and has a square head! It had a too big tail, a too big tongue, and a too big boy doggie part.

When I was a kid, someone we knew

had a dog that was half dachshund and half Irish Setter. It was like a wiener dog with long reddish fur. Weird.

I was young enough then that I didn’t wonder about the conception of such a dog, though I certainly do now. Seems like the logistics would be problematic.

Plus he had parts that were too big for a wiener dog.

So. I just got back from the grocery store.

I’m trying to put three or four bags of groceries on the counter at once, and one bag falls on the floor. Of course, it is the bag with the eggs. Now the eggs are scrambled.

Two eggs survived the fall. I need three eggs for the cupcakes I want to make in the near future. Yeah, it’s been that kind of week.

What irritates me is that the Angels clearly (IMO) did that on purpose,

counted on the A’s to botch the play horribly, and that’s exactly what Pennington did.

Pitch bounced away from Zook

Napoli idiotically broke to 3rd (with a runner there already), Zook threw behind him to Pennington, who ran Napoli back towards 3rd, Morales broke for home, Pennington hurried his throw and made Zook dive to his right (into the LH batter’s box) to catch it, Zook caught it and swung back to tag Morales but Morales jumped over his glove and came down on the plate with Zooks glove between his feet.

Napoli drifted off second

Suzuki threw through, got him in a rundown, then Morales broke from third for home and Pennington threw off balance and Zook couldn’t tag him out, or did and the umpire missed it for a 2-0 Angels lead.

Then I took a conciliatory bong hit of Northern Lights.

The recent president discussion makes me want to read Harding books again. I haven’t read the Ferrell one.

Randolph C Downes

It’s from the 1960s and hard to find. I think it’s in two volumes too, but I can’t remember.

Robert H Ferrell, who has written on several other presidents, is from 1996, much easier to find. I think it only focuses on a few specific scandals though. I put a hold on that one after our last discussion.
