Open Thread: Game 146 - Cleveland Indians @ A's

Cleveland Indians at Oakland Athletics, Sep 17, 2009 7:05 PM PDT


Wahoo2_medium

Seriously, you haven't won squat in 60+ years, is it time to ditch the logo yet?

Shalom WHIP-lets, and please join me in welcoming your 2009 Athletics back to the Coliseum, fresh from ruining the summers of the White Sox, Twins and Texas Rangers, who were in the race when we arrived but are now a combined 2,188 games back and 2,186 1/3 in the Wild Card.  I am your host tonight, emptastically subbing for the historically awesome 67M, as he scored last-minute tix to tonight's extravaganza.

Thursday brings in those Cleveland Indians, victims of an injury tally that makes recent A's seasons look like a Whole Earth Expo by comparison.  The Injuns have fallen far far out of it (not unusual for them since Manny was in town and Bill Clinton was President) and sit at 61-84, 25 1/2 games out of 1st in the Central, and rumor has it they are seriously considering giving 90-something fireballer Bob Feller a look as their #3 starter in Spring Training next year.

On the hill this evening for the Golden Green is the tall one Clayton Mortensen, 1-2 with a hefty 6.75 ERA, opposed by Justin Masterson (4-7//4.25), traded to the Tribe by the Red Sox earlier this year and in all likelihood wishing he was still in Boston and looking at October baseball.  At any rate he has the most Western-sounding name in MLB, so hopefully the A's bats can knock him off his horse tonight as our boys, who are playing smooth and loose with Rajai Davis going absolutely off the chain and leading the way with an a-s-t-o-n-i-s-h-i-n-g .314 average (a sick .347 since the All-Star Break) with but a couple weeks to play here, come home to begin an 8 -game stand... will he make it to a .300 season?  If I were a Magic 8-ball I'd say

Magic8ball-verylikely_medium
Ah, yes, batters batters and more batters:



Enjoy the game and  LET'S go  OAK-LAND!!!!!!

Could the find anything more offensive?

Could I say something more offensive?

The answer to both, sadly, is yes.

yes

Wahoo is so funny, it’s like you wanna go up to whoever continues to insist that he be their logo and just bop them on the head or something, it’s a little retro for the 21st century or even the 20th LOL

Ironies abound, not the least of which is that the modern Wahoo design was introduced in 1951 (3 years after the Tribe’s last WS title), and that in 1993 Spring Training the Indians lost 2 players in a boating accident, in which they were killed by being decapitated by a dock when their speedboat mysteriously fired up. The only survivor was pitcher Bob Ojeda, who was himself (wait for it…) scalped by said dock.

Dunno but if my players were getting scalped I’d think fo realz about changing the logo design to something less, uh, provocative, but that’s just me ;)

Hey, I just bought the team from Lew Wolff... who wants to play third?

Howdy, y'all.

And let me add to this to the how-could-they-have-thatname/logo discussion:

There was once a Cleveland NL team called the Spiders. Now is that a great nickname or what?

There is no "i" in Teamocil. At least not where you'd think.

by GreenNGoldSooner on Sep 17, 2009 7:09 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Irony #3289

is that they changed the name to the Indians in 1920, when they polled their fans for a new name… see, the Indians/Spiders were the first team to feature a Native American ballplayer, the awesome Louis Sockalexis, so it’s strange that they broke the ground in the 20th Century as per minorities playing in MLB. They also were the first AL team to integrate in the 1940s, adding the amazing Hall of Famer Larry Doby just 11 weeks after the Dodgers brought up Jackie Robinson in 1947.

So it’s odd that they still feature such a tasteless icon when they have really been among the more progressive organizations of the last century.

by emperor nobody on Sep 17, 2009 7:14 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Wikipedia says that they became the Indians in 1915

and that it was mainly in imitation of the Braves, who’d just won the Series. Their conclusion si that the Sockalexis story is mainly apocryphal.

yeah

The myth, I guess, is that it was the fans being asked, but you’re right they probably just exploited Sockalexis, yikes.

You want to fix it, then make your own adjusted BA that uses the value

I guess the idea behind it is that the manager told you to do it (esp sacrifice bunts) so it should not count against your ‘pure’ average.

And for the sac fly, hey, it scored a run, why are you complaining?

And as far as pills go, oxycodone’s so damn popular for a good reason. They give that shit out like candy here.

oxycondone

is basically the same thing as percocet as far as I’m aware.

Percocet has acetominophen in it

which actually makes it pretty dangerous — you can destroy your liver if you take too much.

I think that's Vicodin.

Not to be confused with Vicoprin, which has motrin. Stick with the Norco. No reason to cut perfectly good opiate derivatives with senseless anti inflammatories.

I don't know about Vicodin

but percocet definitely has acetaminophen in it. Percodan has aspirin in it.

I was given morphine once...

I was in tremendous pain at the time. Funny thing, once it hit the arm it burned like liquid fire. The drug cleared the shoulder and sent me off to never never land. The thing is, I still hurt, but I just didn’t give a damn.

See

I can’t afford something like that. It’s chronic, as in, has never gone away in the last 15 years. So anything I actually “could” find, can’t have the “I’m in a whole other world” side effect.

No son.

A catcher needs grit. Lots of grit. Man can make it with no power, but he aint shit if he aint got no grit.

I bet a lot of baseball "experts" still say that the A's play the moneyball

style of walks and home runs and never even try to steal a base. Of course they think Beane wrote Moneyball as well.

I never thought moneyball was a style of play

but the process of getting the most out of players who have undervalued abilities.

Interesting subject.

I’ve seen people who pack their own feces in wounds, eat it, wear it, make jewelry out of it, and just about anything else you would care to imagine. And yet none of them are classified as mentally retarded as far as I know. Which means that mental retardation is not synonymous with being an idiot.
