Ribs’n’Things. There’s been a sign up since the beginning of the season saying “Burger Joint Coming Soon”. Some of us were talking about it on Thursday and concluded that it’s the difficulty of finding people who know how to cook burgers that’s causing the delay.
Kinder’s is gone too, but one of the other stands near the right field bleachers is selling BBQ pulled pork, beef, and chicken sandwiches. I didn’t especially like the pork; sauce is too vinegary.

so i added up the overall oakland and SF team win-loss records. final numbers were a .522 winning % (3,995 – 3,646)and 7 total championships for oakland matched up to a .521 winning % (4,903 – 4,499) and 6 total championships for SF. this may be only important to me, but i love those numbers.

Matsui hit a slow ground ball to Sanchez. As the ball was reaching the glove, Matsui gave up and slowed down. It isn’t likely he would have made it to first, but if he’d been running faster, it would have forced Sanchez to move more quickly…or what if the throw was a little bit off.

Stockton do indeed suck.

In the SF/ATL playoffs he turned a pitcher into a homeless landscaper (“Madison Bumgardener”).
Mark Grace is a possibly drunken lout capable of either brilliant experienced insight or complete lackadaisical buffoonery.
Also, he has the DiamondBLANKtaint.

So I switched right away to the SF feed.
But while Jon Miller’s “Astonished at everything!” delivery is entertaining I’ve grown weary of Mike Krukow’s homeristic ignorance of failure and Dave Flemming’s blandness.
I ended up simply muting the audio, which was amazingly refreshing.

It's like clockwork, isn't it?

Leslie: It's got a lot of heart.
April: That's what people always say when something sucks.

From a comment of mine around 1 PM:
I’m afraid of that lineup. Afraid it might be lucky to get 3 hits against Lincecum.

Just got the third in the ninth.

Is the game muted for those watching in Sacramento

While they air an Amber Alert?

How will that help?

We need to score a run to win. He needs to make the Giants score negatives

It's entirely likely these teams don't combine for 10 runs the entire series

Now the real game begins, getting outta there with sanity intact.

Blevins should be DFAd like yesterday

Geren must go, and we need somebody who can fire up this team! With this pitching we should be 4-5 games over .500 AT LEAST! Jesus, this is getting too fucking frustrating.

FUCK THIS A'S TEAM!!

You’d think they’d find a way to use the hatred the MLB has toward them to have a chip over their shoulders!! Now, insufferable Gnats fans continue to laugh!

I though the end of the season ad said the A’s would come up with new ideas, but it’s the same old shit in a a whole new green package!!

Hey Beane, if you can’t turn this shut around with some offense, you’re gonna look as idiotic as your best man when a Moneyball movie comes out and the club finishes out of the playoffs again!!

Sorry, but I fucking hate losing to the Gnats over any team!!
