All My Exes Live in Texas - Oakland @ Texas FRS - Game 144 - Open Thread

PrintWhat's it gonna be, then, eh?
There was me, that is Bloom, and my three droogs, that is Pig, McCarthy, and Moose, Moose being really moosy, and we sat in the Ballpark at Arlington making up our rassoodocks what to do with the evening, a flip dark hot autumn in Arlington, and not so much humidity that we all wanted to die. The Ballpark at Arlington was a homerun-plus mesto, and you may, O my ANers, have forgotten what these mestos were like, things changing so skorry these days and everybody very quick to forget, box scores not being read much neither. Well, what they sold there was homeruns plus something else. They had no licence for pitching, but there was no law against prodding some of the new homeruns with a little pitching, and sooner rather than later they had built up a rather nice pitching staff, so that when combined with the homeruns would give you a nice little horrorshow admiring Hamilton And All His Holy Rangers and Cowboys in your left cleat all bursting over your Swingles. Or you could peet CJ with Beltre in it, as we used to say, and this would sharpen you up to attempt to touch his head and make you ready for a bit of dirty twenty-to-one, and that will probably be how badly the Rangers beat us tonight and that was what we were peeting this evening I'm starting off the story with.
Friday! Central starting time! In Texas! Woo!
Okay, people, I'm gonna be honest with you. Texas will probably hand us back our collective asses neatly pressed and in one of those dry cleaning bags.
But...we've got the guy who has essentially become the ace of our staff, Brandon McCarthy, up for us. And they got Colby Lewis, whose main accomplishment seems to be having the name of a moderately common cheese.
I like our chances. Then again, I'm optimistic about the Raiders this season, too.

Well I certainly hope we jump on Colby Lewis early and hit a bunch of jacks.
Get out the time-fracture wickets, Hobbes! We're gonna play Calvinball!

WooHoo! All is well in AN-land!
"Trying not to rec a "F**k the Giants" post is like trying not to look at boobs."
As Long as the slegnA lose I am happy
Not unhappy if we lose at all as the slegnA winning the division is a disgusting result.
Better draft pick for us.
That is the only time I will root to lose.
LET'S GO OAK-LAND!

He has the nastiest look on his face all the time, look how he scowled at Weeks at 2nd. Can’t be all that great in the clubhouse.

I'd rather they keep showing the ball girl chasing the foul ball instead of seeing DeJesus' ugly mug

Enh,
Honestly, women’s basketball in regular uniforms is already pretty hawt. The lingerie players aren’t wearing significantly less. It’s just frillier and they’re not as good players. I’d rather watch the better athletes.
