Hey, we're behind.
I actually can’t remember the last time I joined a game late and found us behind.
Admittedly, I have a pretty short memory.

"I’m Joey Devine, I’m what Joba Chamberlain would be if he was good and nobody had ever heard of him."
I'm loving Cahill's changeup tonight
Seems like the closest thing to a “putaway pitch” he’s had all year. I think this is an excellent outing overall.
One nice thing about playing the O’s, especially post-Sherrill, is that you know you have 9 innings against them.

He's already hit 1 HR and 2 doubles off the right field wall since he got called up

Good arm, too.
Hands are a bit shaky [begins to work out lyrics to “Penny Man With the Shaky Hands”]
"And Julio Franco is batting right-handed!" -- Wayne Hagin, A's radio play-by-play, mid-80s
I do think, though, that if he plays a full season,
Pennington has closer to .350 slugging power as a major leaguer. On a team with enough offense, I think he’d be an asset — the A’s need to supplement their lineup around him if they want him to be an answer for them.
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
If he can supplement that with a .350 OBP, I'd take it.
"I’m Joey Devine, I’m what Joba Chamberlain would be if he was good and nobody had ever heard of him."
I would too. I think .300-.320 is more likely, though.

then he'll have no value going forward.
"I’m Joey Devine, I’m what Joba Chamberlain would be if he was good and nobody had ever heard of him."
I actually think he's a better utility INF than Crosby
even with a .300 OBP (which is…Crosby’s anyway), because he’s a better defensive SS and a better base-stealer.
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
Crosby's bad at baseball though.
Plus I think Kennedy has that job locked up next season. I’m looking at Pennington as a starter.
Some motherfcukers are always trying to ice skate uphill - Blade.
It would be a huge mistake for the A's to count on Kennedy as a backup SS next season

As originally conceived, "+1" means
“one additional person who feels the same way”.
But it has since evolved (or deteriorated, depending on your view) so that it’s commonly read as a numerical valuation of how enthusiastic one is about an idea, leading to comments like “-1”, “+1000” or other things that make no sense in the original context.

No way.
It’s never the umps’ fault. Bad ump calls are like bad bounces. They’re random fluctuations that sometimes happen. A good team plays well enough to win even with bad breaks. If a game comes down to a bad call, you should have played better so that it wasn’t that close.

That’s hilarious.
Maybe I should go read back yesterdays game thread.
"I’m Joey Devine, I’m what Joba Chamberlain would be if he was good and nobody had ever heard of him."
it was the recap thread
i guess it’s treated differently than the game thread, i didn’t realize that, plus we did get rambuncious and naughty, but i don’t want to offend people so i’ll be good
Still hilarious.
The thin skin is funny.

I didn't have anything to do with sending any e-mails...
…but when it just goes on and on and on, I can see how it would annoy some people.

Not really. One bad call that may or may not have mattered.
We got a rawer deal from three straight grounders/choppers that found holes and led to the two key runs off of Cahill.

Thanks, Nico. I didn’t see the game on TV this evening and was reading the posts about the bad call. BTW, my son’s nickname is Niko!
by A's Fan in Virginia on Aug 11, 2009 6:46 PM PDT up reply actions
Excellent choice of names!
The bad call was bad, but it only turned a possible “two on, one out” in the 9th into a “runner at 2nd, two out” situation.

No, because I refuse to move off my SERO plan
But I have a Touch Pro and love it.

I'm on the same plan and it can't be matched
I can’t change anything because I no longer have a Sprint email address. I heard they offer it on the SERO plan as of yesterday.
