I was watching the game on TV and said to Mrs As, "The left-field bleachers were TOTALLY responsible for the Swisher home run."

Again, you guys rock.

You guys rock!

I was sitting in section 109 and I kept thinking to myself "They are probably having even way more fun in the bleachers"!  I wish they could mic you guys up so we could hear you really loudly throughout the entire coliseum.  I did hear you though.  You guys are awesome!

I just that the precursor to this question was funny and didn't know where I should place it.

Jerry, I know this isn't a question about a NY team..but are the A's in the process of locking up the West...finally?

Brad,The A's have survived despite some pronounced offensive woes this season, and you get the feeling they're about to assert themselves. They have a ways to go, but with their recent play and Colon's injury in Anaheim, they have a leg up. I'm not ready to count out the Angels yet, though.

This is on there SportsNation chat.

Mariners:

The drumming in Oakland is easily the #2 most annoying thing that goes on at a stadium in all of baseball.

It's like they put a field mic under the drummers so that people watching the freaking game can't even watch it in peace.

#1 is that retarded "DAY-O!!" thing in Yankee Stadium.

"i'd like to pass a tribute to you guys man.At 4-0 i thought the crowd would be dead but no you guys were still there,and i will remember the moment where swisher came up forever ,you see we were down it was like 5AM i had every reason to give up get some sleep,but no,whatever it was,i felt it,even though i'm miles and miles away,all thanks to you guys i said to myself "if you go to sleep you're going to miss something special" the fact they kept showing all of you hard at work during the swisher AB made me say " look at these guys if they're not giving up,why should you?"and then it happened.
Thanks for not only making going to the NET a unique experience,but also watching games at the NET a unique experience,you might even be contributing to making a great homefield advantage.

So thanks again man and whenever i go to the NET i'll be sure to drop by and give a HUGE thankyou"

I finally made it to a game last night, and of course the place my friends and I parked ourselves was 2 rows back from the drummers.  We started going crazy with the high fives and yelling when we lost sight of Chavey's near homerun, only to be disappointed and feel a little foolish when it turned out to be caught.

When Swish got up, and the drums started going, then the whistle guy to get everyone else to stand up, you could feel the energy.  I swear that we willed that ball out of the park.  I've never felt anything like that before, to feel as if we directly helped that home run happen by our collective enthusiasm.

It ranks there with Hatteberg's HR to win game 20, and Tejada's shot up the center earlier in the streak when the the outfield was pulled in for the win in the 9th, for games I have been there for.

Saint, and Duke, the rest of the LF bleachers, you guys all make coming to the games an incredible experience.  Thanks for all you do in helping channel the Oaktown Mojo

i'm back in the bay after my year in estonia and looking forward to coming out and tailgating/checkin out the game with all you guys sometime soon.

i was there last night in the 5th row behind home (a friend with ridiculous tickets got us there for free, thank you!), and i could feel the energy pulsating from the left field bleachers.  how sick were the back-to-back homers?!  Oh man i was going crazy.

but while Swish and JayPay were great, the MVP of the game I'd say was Saarloos-- simply stated, he was amazing; we wouldn't have stood a chance without him.

So, I'll be at the game today, so maybe I'll come say whats up.  If not today, then sometime very soon- you and Duke rock out there and I've seen you on TV a few times.  Same with other identifiable ANers, like JLaff.  In any case, go A's!

seat when the homers were hit to see if I could get tickets for todays game because those few innings were killing me and then swish and payton tie up the game.Even though I was a little upset about not being in my seat, I was just happy to hear the roar of the crowd. Great game last night!
Go A's!

You guys keep pounding those drums and serving as the catalyst for our positive energy transfers from stand to field.

Awesome job.  Thank you for what you do.

i've been to this year. So exciting. The back to backs were so electric. Awesome game.
