Open Thread: Spring Training Game 34 - A's vs. Giants

Well, let's see if we can't get a little revenge after last night's loss! The A's continue to tune-up the team (I would expect to see some of the bench players take their cracks at the Giants tonight) in what is the penultimate game of the Spring Training season. Dana Eveland will take on Randy Johnson in what should be a good match-up. Who are we kidding? Any A's baseball on TV looks pretty good right now!

Anyone watching MLB.tv games today?
The video quality on the new player is absolutely incredible. I hate to ever give MLB credit for anything, but they’ve really done a great job with this.
I’ll post lineups when they are announced.

I was watching the Mets and Yankees games.
HD feed was amazing.

MY FIRST MATCH OF THE SEASON!!!!
And who’s throwing, but my favorite thrower on the whole team….medium-low hottie Dana Cleveland!!! I can’t wait to see what she’s done with her hair this year.
GO HOTTIES!!!!!!!
XOXOXOXXOXO,

Who’s got the recap for me?
I'm here to talk about the past.
True story.
I went and saw the Sonoma County Crushers one night about a decade ago or so, and their promotion was if a certain player on the opposition struck out, then the beer was half price for the next fifteen minutes.
Dude struck out four times. The crowd chanted MVP the last time. And several people had several interesting things to yell.

I've been reconciled to the Giants announcers
Our guys could never say “Bobby Crosby strikes out!” with a note of surprise like that.
She's en fuego tonight.

There was a nude bar in Santa Rosa
right down the street from the El Rancho where the Raiders trained for many years. Or at least where El Rancho used to be. There’s a Costco there now.
Anyhow, the titty bar was named Everybody’s Talking. The girls that danced there were not what you’d call attractive. My buddy used to go there in the early afternoon and he and his buddy would chuck pennies at them.

No, but I was in county lockup one time with Phil.

following this thread and watching some gameday feeds -
and I just want you guys to know that Kendall just crushed a HR off Billingsley.

Yeah, but the Hornets are on an 8-0 run.
The Warriors had to suit up a player just to avoid the forfeit. They have seven healthy bodies with seven unhealthy.

So....
not only do I not have the A’s on any sort of audio source, but I now have spent the last 2 hours on the phone with DTV only to find out they can’t fix my receiver/TV issues over the phone and they’ll have to send a service man out to take a look….on Tuesday…..the 14th!!!!!!! So no TV or any of the million shows on my DVR for 1.5 weeks!
Oh and my friend called me a half hour before we were suppose to me up for drinks to cancel on me because his lastest fling wanted to hang out tonight. WTF. NOT PLEASED!

I do have Gameday on. Not the same. I need KK.
But how rude is my friend? We had plans to go out. He cancels 1/2 hour before because some girl he JUST met (only had 1 date) calls last minute to go out. Who does that????
AND he’s going out with her again on Sunday. Really??? He couldn’t wait? BOYS!
