Open Thread: Game 17 - A's vs. Rays (cont.)

Wow, what a long first inning as the A's have 84 runs in with still only one out. OK, I pre-wrote this before the game started but it's probably accurate. I'm at the game and will have the recap up about an hour after last pitch.

The nice thing for those of us with game thread capabilities...

Makes it a lot easier to have a feature or something like that run at a particular time as well.

bodie

nobody ever says bubbles, but he was mr. 1st season. wallace was 1st season jr. snoop was an awesome, natural addition. slim just because. bunny c. paltrow. prezbo and carver. wee bay but even more after you meet his wife! omar and ziggy steal every scene they’re in, especially if in a silk robe or with a duck. but yeah, bodie. he had the nuanced character thing going, frustrations you could ID with, some amount of development, plus he could spit between his teeth. then again, i even liked string, prop joe, kenard, frank sobotka, dukie, and the illustrious mr. fuzzy dunlop.

but the question nobody wants to deal with… for a character driven show, how did they hang 5 seasons of great drama from the arc of such a unsympathetic 1st role, so badly acted? i mean, mcnutty just suuuuucks, don’t you agree?

maybe poorly acted

(but I think that’s harsh), but he’s not entirely unsympathetic. Most people know someone who’s way too smart for his own good, someone who drinks way too much and someone who cannot let sleeping dogs lie. Some of us are those individuals.

But…I think you could also seriously make the argument that the arc does not belong to McNutty. He may be the thread, but the arc belongs to the city, no?

But Bodie rocked too, no doubt. And Omar’s Hispanic boyfriend was surprising present in his scenes—“No Honey Nut?”

About McNulty
Most people know someone who’s way too smart for his own good, someone who drinks way too much and someone who cannot let sleeping dogs lie. Some of us are those individuals.

When you put it like that, it’s kinda surprising that they didn’t show him posting on AN game threads while he was waiting for a hit from one of the pagers.

Also, I just need to add Valchek to the list of favorite characters. He’s like the essence of what’s wrong with BPD (and thus, to Simon and Burns, everything), but you can’t help loving him anyway.

was going to say earlier.

Five innings and only one run. That’s a pretty damn good start for Eveland.

He is paid to pitch a decent game once every half a dozen starts

14.2 innings before today with 25 hits and 9 walks deserves hatred IMO.

I knew someone was going to come up with this just like people do when Hannahan gets a hit once every two weeks.

Yes, he won. Good, that’s what we all want is for him to suceed.

Austin City Limits is on my radar

Urban: Hold on. That cougar in the corner is TOTALLY checking me out. Should I send her a mimosa? Do I slip the wedding ring off and hope she doesn't see the tan line, or is she old enough to not care?

Finally.

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
