That's even better.
I asked about the right room ’cause it seemed only you and Russ were here. I felt like I was walking in on my parents. Then I remembered I am of the same age as you two.
I'm here to talk about the past.
I think it's time to take this outside, with the radio and a glass of wine.
I’m going to make a window box. Boners!

There is one thing I hate and that is having a contact lense that
feels like it has a spec of sand under it and no matter how many times you clean it, the result is the same.
You might say, put a new one in?
I am out of them.
Oh well.
I think Cust needs contact lenses
the way his BA has been plummeting.
1 for 11 would be a good result Jack
0 for 10 so far in series so far
Maybe not the 3-1 swing you want Cust to have against Zach Minor?

If somehow the A's ever retake the lead in this game,
whenever that is I think they should put Bailey in and say, “go get ’em.” I’m not kidding either.

Why is mlb.tv suddenly advertising ump school in between each inning?
Are they expecting another umpire strike?

No Idea but if Leyland was coaching the A's
I would bet all the money in the bank that we would not be the bunch of losers that are masquerading as baseball players and defrauding A’s fans.
He would not tolerate the inept losers.
I'm sorry, how exactly are we being defrauded?

Ask Billy
he has all the answers to that one.
Leyland put up with a bunch of losers last year with the Tigers.
I think you’d lose that bet.
He certainly would rip them a new one
Doubt if he would sit there and make excuses for them like Geren would

In the first round, a Wings fan tried to toss an octopus onto the Columbus ice and he was absolutely mauled by a group of Blue Jackets fans before he could launch that slimy seacreature over the glass. I applaud their efforts. Octopus is better off fried.

glad i didnt put any money on any games this weekend. I would have lost every bet, lol

Yup, that's four easy wins for the Rays.
by Coach Cleats on May 17, 2009 12:39 PM PDT up reply actions
Not ness, the A's are playing as streaky as it gets- Toronto was a 20 game winning team.
Unfortunately most of the streaks have been losing.
Detroit has a pretty powerful lineup that’s been under-performing IMHO.
Dont blow Bailey.
I hear ya...
But look at what the Rays have done this weekend against the Indians who are just as bad as the A’s. I think the Rays have some kind of groove at home and it’s going to be pretty tough for the A’s to get even one victory in a four game set.
by Coach Cleats on May 17, 2009 12:44 PM PDT up reply actions
We can limit their offensive output...
…by forfeiting the games.
That way they’ll only score a total of 36.

Texas had 2 on and no outs in a 0-0 game
and failed to score against Weaver who has only given up 1 hit.

The owner should send Billy to run the soccer
and fire Geren himself.
Here's the deal...
A’s lose 100 games in ‘09, Geren is moved to the front office as an assistant to the GM in the offseason which allows the A’s to hire a new manager. No way is Geren going to be fired, but this guy has to go.
really...
why wouldn’t Beane fire Geren if Geren was the reason for all of these losses?

And you are right on.
Geren won’t be fired but moved somewhere in the organization. On another note, nobody liked Macha, but you have to like what he doing with the Brewers.
by Coach Cleats on May 17, 2009 1:24 PM PDT up reply actions
This might be a tremendous sacrifice....
…but Mrs. Beane should break the cycle of suckitude and sleep with Geren.
