Around SBN: The cost of firing vs. the cost of retaining head coaches

fANfest Open Thread

I just got home from our fANfest, and decided to get the jump on the photo posts. Other AN'ers should feel free to use this diary as a place for additional posting.

My entire Flickr set can be seen here.

The dessert table before it got fully loaded. I'm not sure, but I believe that is Leopold Bloom's banner Edit: Thanks to Leopold Bloom for the awesome banner.

As you'd expect in a glass showroom, nearly everything is made of glass, including the stairs. The sinks were especially cool. It only took 5 minutes for little miss specialK to figure out how to fall off the stairs onto the floor (she was OK).

Around 2:00, some nice young kid from the A's showed up at the party with a nice box of freebies, which made the party even more fun. Here, posted without comment, are some of us who attended.

For those who missed out

This is the most awesome party space! Huge thanks to LynnZ, who probably got in waaay over her head but who seemed to enjoy herself nonetheless. Next time: Lots more people! I think once Lynn recovers, we can convince her to do this again sooner rather than later.

This was such a great time

A HUGE thank you to Lynnzgal for securing the space, taking care of much of the food, and, in general, making the day happen. A sizable thank you also to JLaff for translating a good thought into reality.

Also, thanks to Gigglingone for giving me a ride and enabling me to be there at all. Thanks also to Cindi for an amazing potato salad. And to Slinger for reminding me why the Cheeseboard Collective is one of my favorite places in all of the Bay Area. And to Nico for keeping his pants on until I left.

No thanks at all to everyone in attendance for not reading my and ZigFan’s minds for the first nine-tenths of the party. There’s no justifiable reason why it took that long for a group rendition of “Trade Him att the Deadline” to break out.. (Although that reminds me, thanks to SkiGurl for spontaneously putting together a pretty damn good playlist.)

Seriously, folks, I had a blast today. It was great to see everyone and get a little bit of baseball energy on an otherwise dreary day. Let’s do it again, eh?

Lynn – what a great party, and I’m glad you’re willing to do it again, maybe we can celebrate postseason baseball at your place. I look forward to getting to know you this season.
Big Thanks to the A’s staff – Travis dropped off a big box from the good people at the A’s ticketservices. Sweatshirts, bobbleheads, bags, and lots more.
What a very nice surprise.
It is always big fun to get together with A’s fans. And now, since we have determined the line-ups, figured the rotation and all the bullpen innings,rejoiced in having offense and power, sent Chavy a note that he doesn’t have to be the BigBat, sent positive thoughts to our shortstop, (yes, we did!) we have started planning for Opening Night.

We are sneaky like that.

But stuff like that tends to happen when you show up that late to a party!

Crazy thing is

I remember asking you to watch the dessert for me while I loaded the table. I guess you interpreted that as “stuff this dessert in a bag and disappear before 67M gets back.”

Guess I had it coming to me.

I'm here to talk about the past.

And you said the goat

couldn’t be trusted. Tsk tsk.

This is what I'm talking about!

I’m suppose to be watching the goat. You distract me by asking me to “watch” the desserts. While I’m watching said desserts, the goat violates you, and when you get back the desserts are gone! It was all the goat!

The goat?

At least she looked you in the eye. And you did get to enjoy Mrs doctorK’s cookies before all this happend. Not to mention the best 2 seconds of your life! ;-)

Holy Toledo!

A game thread has erupted in our fANfest discussion. Awesome!

I got violated by a goat and ZigFan ran off with my dessert!

Well, why didn't anyone share how many special guests we had?

Once Nico stopped dancing with Jason Giambi, it got quite boring. Eric Chavez just kind of sat there.

Really

I did enjoy talking to Bobby about hitting though. That was a cool three minutes.

Then I ate some cookies and commented on their awesomeness.

The thong looks better on him, though, doesn't it?

It looked a little "roomy" on you both.

But then, he’s been taking PEDs…

Hmm, interesting.

My boys don’t talk. Unfortunately, they also don’t produce sperm, but on the plus side I did lead the league in HRs back in 2005.
