This game is so lame
that you can start a new thread in the middle of an inning with a man on base, and no one minds.
"Go ahead and overachieve, you scrappy Brett-Favre-colored walk-takers." —Rev Halofan
That's not the baseball gods.
That’s just residual suckitude.
"Go ahead and overachieve, you scrappy Brett-Favre-colored walk-takers." —Rev Halofan
is he gonna be promoted to A's bench coach?
where he has to constantly say: “yes sir, Mr. Geren sir! An excellent decision! Rajai is an amazing player!”
Your 2009 Oakland Athetics: This time, it's personal.
Actually, I started it between innings
It just takes Edgar Gonzalez a long time to run to first base.

Yes, Good to see the slegnA give up 3 bombs so far. I should say 1/25th of the slegnA roster in Joe Saunders

Wow, whaddaya know?
Rajai non-fail.

The good news is that Rajai caught it!
The great news is that he might have injured himself!!

Good play by Davis
Saving the meatball that Gonzalez served up.
Rajai, I know you feel bad about missing that ball,
but hurting yourself isn’t going to solve anything other than giving me some serious schadenfruede.
Edgar Gonzalez Jr.
He should seriously consider a career as an OF as opposed to a pitcher. He’d probably be better that way.
"You end up with a name like ‘Outman,’" he said last week. "What else are you going to do? You’re going to get people out, man." ~ Dallas Braden

Wait, I just noticed their pitcher is batting 8th.
Does the other guy suck that bad, or was the starting pitcher a good hitter.
"Go ahead and overachieve, you scrappy Brett-Favre-colored walk-takers." —Rev Halofan
he needs to drunkenly fall asleep in his car while waiting for the light to change

I was just going to say that
LaRussa does that quite a bit
I think I've finally pinpointed Edgar Gonzalez' main problem: He sucks.

Did he get injured or something?

Yup. Elbow tightness or something.

I had quite a good time there last Thursday afternoon.
Not a dog day that day at least.
Man I'm really wanting to see an a's home game!!!
I'll have a sandwich and a draft(sic). - Bill King (RIP)
I went to the A's/Giants game on Friday.
First time at the SF stadium ($37.50 for a bleacher seat!) and I gotta say I had a much better time at the rickety old Coliseum in Oakland. Much more enjoyable.
Yeah I've seen two games at that park
Its fancy and all but I’ll take the gritty homeyness of the Coli anytime!

It sounds like they are chanting that
does every team have the same rally cry?
I liked it better when we said..
“Let’s Go a’s”!
I'll have a sandwich and a draft(sic). - Bill King (RIP)
I do miss our unique chants
The 3-beat “let’s go a’s”
the marco x-x- scutaro xxxx- chant
there was even a Dan Johnson chant.
yeah. Dan. Johnson.
And the classic "WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH ____?" "HE'S A BUM!"
"And Julio Franco is batting right-handed!" -- Wayne Hagin, A's radio play-by-play, mid-80s
I always associated that cheer with the Giants
and it made me think less of them.
That, and the stoopid whoooOOOP…..WWHOOOoooop when a pitcher is warming up in the bullpen. That might be my top pet peeve in baseball

Don't care.
Pay attention to the GAME GOING ON, not to the rest of the people in the stands.
"I’m Joey Devine, I’m what Joba Chamberlain would be if he was good and nobody had ever heard of him."
What?
I was watching something else.
"I’m Joey Devine, I’m what Joba Chamberlain would be if he was good and nobody had ever heard of him."
I didn't even mean her.
Not at this moment, anyway.
"I’m Joey Devine, I’m what Joba Chamberlain would be if he was good and nobody had ever heard of him."
Lemme get to the bottom of this Makers Mark
Then I’ll be better.
Currently pissed off about a) Losing the soccer game, b) people quitting after said soccer game leaving us without enough players for next week, c) guys who were supposed to show up not coming, and d) referees who suck ass.
Other than that, I’m good.
"I’m Joey Devine, I’m what Joba Chamberlain would be if he was good and nobody had ever heard of him."
You're doing Makers Mark too?
That’s what I’m using to wash out the taste of those Cheez-Its and Doritos.
You ate both, huh?
I heard bad things happen when you combined them.
I'm here to talk about the past.
Yeah, I'm an elitist bastard like that.

"I’m Joey Devine, I’m what Joba Chamberlain would be if he was good and nobody had ever heard of him."
LF bleachers at the Coliseum were doing that in the early 80s, if not before
It woulda been pretty hard to do that at Candlestick back then — none of the seats in the OF were that close to the players.
"And Julio Franco is batting right-handed!" -- Wayne Hagin, A's radio play-by-play, mid-80s
Is that the same tune as the old Ivy League chant?
I heard it from a good friend of my mother’s, who went to Yale in the 1950s: “What’s the color of horseshit? Brown, Brown, Brown.”
When I was about 11 years old I thought that was really really funny.
"Go ahead and overachieve, you scrappy Brett-Favre-colored walk-takers." —Rev Halofan
Sounds like it would scan the same way
They key with the HE’S A BUM! chant is to repeat it nonstop for a few innings. It’s like a koan.
"And Julio Franco is batting right-handed!" -- Wayne Hagin, A's radio play-by-play, mid-80s
Do you remember?
Hey Gorman, do you know what you are? You’re 0-for-4! Zero! Zero! Zero! ZEROOOOOO!
I'm here to talk about the past.
I remember Gorman Thomas, but I don't remember that one
I used to sit in RF until about 84 or 85, so I might have been too far away to hear it back when Thomas was still with the Brewers.
"And Julio Franco is batting right-handed!" -- Wayne Hagin, A's radio play-by-play, mid-80s

I was at win #6 against the Jays
people dont even wait for someone else to say Scutaro anymore.
I was at one of those Weds dollar days a few years back where me and my 19 best friends saw a game together and a buddy of mine sitting on the 1st base side finished the chant for me. We toasted ourselves with a collective sense of smug satisfaction.

Holliday has been hitting well. To bad the rest of the team is not.
Does his decent hitting increase the odds of him being dealt this year??
Wow, Holiday was out on that steal but called safe.

LOL @ Korach
A’s are risking serious BP burnout in second half.
Bit late Buddy, they are toasted already.
I was thinking the same thing.
“Second” half?

I think [the A's announcers] just speak in code.. "A tough outing again for Brett Anderson" means "Has anyone checked with his 2nd grade teacher to see if maybe he’s actually right-handed?" --Nico

I wonder if they'll put us in the early game slot
where I have to call in sick?
These ain't your father's A's.

i think that’s a good term for this season: disheveled

O-Cab admitted fatique as well
Why can’t they all just man up like Holliday and Zook?

the harsh reality of the situation is
that you are correct.

good news is it's only the 6th
bad news is that our best hitter this game was just pulled for springer
that's a douche with some s**t in his facial hair.

Timmy's was a real stinger,
not a pink face-merkin.

timmeh's was ok
but he’s about the only one
he insipired me to wear one
but like him I smartened up.

Yeah...what was he drinking
er um I mean thinking?

Have you no imagination?
An actual merkin would be NSFW. It’s a pictorial euphemism.

No...
but I’ll cast aspersions aside for the moment.

Been listening in the car on the way home
We’ve been living on borrowed time for a while. But it’s so fitting that Springer (and an overworked Springer to boot) would be the one to get us behind.
My feeling about the IBB to Gonzalez:
- If they pitch to him, either they pitch carefully and he walks anyway, or he unloads on Springer.
* If Springer throws the exact pitches he threw Headley, to Kouzmanoff, Geren looks like a genius non idiot.
My take: Good, gutty decision, bad outcome due to bad pitching.

Drink more.
I think [the A's announcers] just speak in code.. "A tough outing again for Brett Anderson" means "Has anyone checked with his 2nd grade teacher to see if maybe he’s actually right-handed?" --Nico

I'll drink to that
but lets face it, I’ll drink to pretty much everything.

Wow, Nico is still taking the game seriously.

Unlike the A's, I grind out every at bat.

agreed. walking gonzalez was the right call
but then i’m getting drunk.
Due up in the top of the 7th are Crosby, Rajai, and Springer...
It hurts to consider the possibility that Springer might be the best hitter of the three…

Your 2009 Oakland Athetics: This time, it's personal.
Everth Cabrera was a Rule 5 pick?
WHY CAN’T THE A’S STOP DRAFTING GOLESKI AND COPELAND????

Their Cabrera > Our Cabrera.

and could have been Oakland's starting SS for the next 6 years?
Or did the Padres draft ahead of us this year? (I know Goleski was first pick overall.)

No pinch hitting spots in the 8th and 9th?
We won’t pinch hit for the 1-6
