don't worry bro, everybody else has injuries in our division too
maybe we can get Tomko back from extended spring training and go from there.

I'd call, but there's not much to say that won't make everyone, myself included, cry
Hello, I'm Vince Cotroneo for the Marmaduke B. Mushmouth School of Public Speaking...
I can't do it, I am really upset right now
I might burst into tears on the radio.
The basic message is we will never win anything again because we are the team that introduced the paradigm that became the Steroid Era into Major League Baseball, and for that sin the team may be cursed with catastrophic injury after injury for the next century or more.
If you think that’s hyperbolic, then wait five or ten years when there’s a few dozen more Jose Lima’s in the newspaper, and there’s an accumulating stack of dead ex-players whose bodies gave out from the poisons they put in, with the Oakland Athletics being the team that started the ball rolling on the unfolding tragedy.
I can’t call because I don’t think I could get through an explanation of the above without crying, honestly.

I disagree.
PEDs have been around long before the late 80s.
SIG SPACE AVAILABLE FOR SPONSORSHIP. INQUIRE WITHIN.
not in the industrial modality of distribution
that Jose Canseco introduced into the sport, with the full approval of LaRussa and whoever else. The curse is in healing from injury, which despite the muscle-myths that it made HRs go further was really all about quicker healing from injury, after all.
Of course it existed before, but the A’s helped to make it a religion, and a religion that will result in likely early and tragic deaths for players we have watched for the last two decades. The Karma that is accumulating, as much as I HATE to say it mikey, is so bad that you can’t expect anything good.
I hate hate hate to say this but it means that any player we sign to a long-term deal will immediately go down with recurring and catastrophic injury almost immediately, and if you read Jose Canseco’s book I can’t say that what’s contained in those covers makes me at all surprised that our chances of ever winning anything for the foreseeable future are virtually nil.

the smug, self-satisfied tone of Canseco's book
says it all, really. You can’t be as proud of destroying people’s bodies like that and not have it rub off in disastrous ways somewhere down the road.
I am sorry I feel I have to say what I said but to be honest it’s what I have felt for the last 4 years now and today just makes it kind of obvious to me that the A’s accumulated a kind of Karma for themselves by allowing what went on to flourish — and take over the world like it did in the early 1990s — that is not leading anywhere good.

It's not a good watch.
It’s that bad either, I suppose. Ryan was dazed for a little while and he jogged off the field on his own power.

The notes observe the law of sports radio, which you heard CT take me to task for yesterday, which is preparation… this I learned from listening to Bill King and his command of the airwaves during a game, but it’s easy to forget.
I made a deal w/CT and his end is to teach me how to do this at a non-embarrassing level; hence the notes, which are still woefully inadequate but are at least a start for someone like me.

soothing doesn't get it
I’d make a great New Age Ambient Music host, but sports radio requires more in the way of animation and passion, I am afraid.
Right now I may have the outward appearance of passion, but my skills in all the other required areas are not at the level where I could sustain the facade of that for more than the 15 minutes CT gives me.

Are people really praising Gross for throwing a guy out from the plate from LF AND RF?
What, we’re giving him credit for the position switch, now?

We got lucky today (as we know) winning the game.
Just noticed Boston scored in 7 of the 9 innings.
Not very often a team gets 18 hits and loses.
So we need replacements for Anderson, Mazzaro and Blevins. How that is going to happen, I have no clue.
Anyway, 6-4 beats the hell out of 5-5.
Ew, I came back and Savage was on

sock puppets have never successfully defended castles, except when working with squirrels, which would never happen because squirrels know better than to trust sock puppets. -nm
