PrintIf you haven't done it yet, wish Marquez67 a belated happy birthday. He's older than me, so I can make fun of him for being so old.
I'm sitting here, staring at my wall. On it, I've got magnets of the 2009 season, Jason Kendall, Marco Scutaro, Mark Kotsay, Bobby Crosby, Eric Chavez and Justin Duchscherer, though upon further inspection, it may be a very bad omen to be on my wall. I've also got the wall calendar with Staplehead staring down at me. i've also got the picture of OAS before we built Mt. Doom.

I now have a JG poster that a certain someone sent me up there as well (ty, Lynn!).
Obviously, I'm insane in my fandom for the A's. I'm not alone in that. Most everyone here is just as nuts for the green and gold. Listen, normal run-of-the-mill fans don't come to fan-based websites and start debates with people whom they have more in common with than their own family.
There's a lesson in there somewhere, I think.
Meanwhile, back at the farm...
I don't own this (but I bet one of you does), but I'd like to...A's hooptie!

I'm not positive (yes I am), but I think they're parked at BART, like a real fan does!
They may not be zombies (jury's still out on Crosby), but SuSlu thinks they may be vampires:
DAY TIME: Until Saturday, the A's had no reason to smile or give high-fives under the sun as they had not won during the day this season. They were one of only two teams to enter play 0-6 during the day, and their losing streak in day games was nine in a row dating back to last season. In those six day losses, the A's hit .162 with 16 runs, compared with .271 and 43 runs in nine night games.
Make my Buck the T-Buck,don't want my Buck stepped on. Just saying.
Off Day today, travelling to Texas to visit our old friend, Wash.
Oh, and HANNAHAN!

That particular corner makes me nostalgic for Orange Julius
But yes, Blondie’s would be good. Still, I’d probably have to find a burrito (although, come to think of it, Telegraph never had a really good burrito place that I’m aware of). Maybe I’d do with some food from the carts on the campus side of Bancroft.
Ohh, wait — Bongo Burger on Dwight! Little lambs are yummy.

I worked on a political campaign in WC 15 years ago
drove through the Caldecott for 30 consecutive days. Let’s just say that’s one thing I don’t miss about the Bay Area. I’ll find a burrito in the Mission.
Unless you were saying that Walnut Creek supports burrito. In which case I say, “Yay, Walnut Creek!”

The Taquiria right on Main St. downtown.
Listen I lived in CoCo for three years, despised it. I visited my brother there for another ten, same story.
But they make those burritos in WC out of crack cocaine and heroin. I’d kill my own mother with a coal shovel for one of those puppies.

Having never met your mother, it's a bit hard to form an opinion of those burritos based on your little jape
Maybe once my body has become acclimated to the gentler deliciousness of a Mission or Fruitvale taco truck burrito, I’ll move on to the harder stuff.
The lower Mission — home of the gateway burrito.
Oh, BTW I really don’t want the tortilla steamed. I want it on the grill.

Huarache Azteca in the Fruitvale
A huarache with carnitas, cactus, oaxaca cheese on top and the black beans cooked inside the huarache….
beats a burrito anytime.
Hopefully you weren't grabbing a burrito this morning!

Dave always led the "WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH ____? HE'S A BUM!" chant
which I still think is the best heckle in baseball. It’s annoying to the player without actually being personally insulting in any way. Even kids can join in!
I was at a night game against Toronto when we yelled that at George Bell for what must have been 5 straight innings. By the end, even Bell was laughing!
"And Julio Franco is batting right-handed!" -- Wayne Hagin, A's radio play-by-play, mid-80s
Yep, same Dave.
That was the best part about those guys. It was generally clean fun. With a side of clever.
I'm here to talk about the past.
And you're not kidding about him being loud
Every so often when I was listening to a night game from the Coliseum I could hear him yell, “WHAT’S THE MATTER WITH _?” His voice would carry all the way to the crowd mic below Bill and Lon’s booth, and I could always pick out the cadence of that chant in the background.
"And Julio Franco is batting right-handed!" -- Wayne Hagin, A's radio play-by-play, mid-80s
Absolutely
There were times I’d hear him over the radio or from other places in the stadium.
Sometimes he’d show up fashionably late (in the bottom of the first) and scream “Time out! Time out! There’s nobody in center field!” Seems almost lame now, but the other bums would be relieved that he was there.

Visit to the Black Hole
At the center of the galaxy , that is. (what, you thought this was going to be another Raider’s post?)
“The gravity at your feet is stronger than the gravity at your head, as long as you fall in feet first. … You feel this difference in gravity between your feet and your head as a tidal force, which pulls you apart vertically in a process called ‘spaghettification,’ " Hamilton writes on his Web site.
“At the same time as you are pulled apart vertically, you are crushed in the horizontal direction, like a rubber band being pulled. So if you would like to be taller and thinner, then one way to achieve that is to fall into a black hole.”
Ah, so that is how Blevins got so skinny.

DId this “someone” say what he was doing April 29, 2007 around 3 PM? Just as the little leaguers were getting ready to run around the bases following a Dallas Braden loss to Scott Kazmir?

I've been to both Butler and Washington State.
It makes sense in both places. There’s not much to do in Indianapolis and much, much, much less to do in Pullman. Though Pullman is home to a lovely Virginia Woolf collection, which has very little to do with signs.

It was pretty funny today.
I had a replacement monkey for my standard production monkey all last week. My main monkey hurt himself through a combination of hedonistic pig sex and inappropriate pull-ups. so I brought in a replacement monkey. well, today I had both monkeys in my shop.
See, the problem is they’re both lead monkeys. The replacement monkey’s like a Ronin. And they fought like….they fought like monkeys weilding switchblades today. It was AWESOME!
I’m a horrible boss.

I'm sorry, Cap'n,
didn’t mean to mislead—they didn’t fistfight. They bitched about how the other one was doing it all wrong. It was an exercise in passive-aggressive behavior. It was full-on office Peyton Place and there was only three people here and I wasn’t involved in the drama at all.

I think Capn'
was asking for pics of the pig sex and inappropriate pull-ups.
Or that could have been me.
I'm here to talk about the past.
The innapropriate pull-ups were less exciting
than you might think. It occurred at the dog beach in Venice.
The pig sex would be probably a lot of fun for the women and less fun for the men. My lead monkey’s a good-looking guy who apparently is dating his mom. And while I have no problem with the younger guy/older woman scenario (as I’ve repeatedly proven), she’s not an attractive mom.

Ah well,
my brothers appear to have a different view. If she’s not at least 10 years their junior, she’s too old.

That's how I understood it.
"I’m Joey Devine, I’m what Joba Chamberlain would be if he was good and nobody had ever heard of him."
hedonistic pig sex leads to swine flu!
and if anyone on my staff ever told me he was injured from sex I’d scream, then fire him.
Go Sharks!
why?
I thought it was great!
You’d have to know my lead monkey. I’m not sure, but I think the Drive-By Truckers were thinking of him when they wrote EVERY SONG THEY’VE EVER WRITTEN.

Bought $10 in Lottery Tickets for the Illinois State Lottery ($180 million)
But since I didn’t catch a Foul Ball at any of the games I went to in the past two weeks, I probably won’t win.

he was on the tv before that, it was great
I think I’ll watch that On Demand later just to listen to him talk about hitting again.

The trick is to dig in and concentrate. Stay focused.
That way the needle will not hit an artery.

I was at that game last night
free tickets. They announced Barry was there in the 2nd inning right before Zito started pitching. Total diva move stealing the spotlight for himself. Same old Barry.
I've got a corkboard dedicated to the A's too.
But it makes me sad looking at it. The picture of Hatteberg is there just because.
Yours is much more fun.
I think the captions look the most intriguing.
