ANtics - Episode 2.2: A's Offense, New and Improved

by louismg on Feb 26, 2006 9:00 AM PST in News

Spring training is under way, and while we're all watching to see how Bradley, Thomas and Loaiza integrate with their new teammates, many fans, reporters and the A's themselves are eager to see if the team's offense can support what's widely accepted as one of the best pitching staffs in all of baseball. In this edition of the ANtics, we talk with Blanton, Zito and others about whether they will get the run support they need to be successful.

Someone should make 3d models

of Athletics related people, so we can make computer generated movies of players doing stuff like pit fighting and Huston doing strip teases in schoolgirl outfits.

Ewww!!!!

I don't want to look at that in 3-D!

Pit fighting, that is.

I did go to FanFest

But... as the disclaimer should say... none of the photos are mine. Some were casually lifted from other AN diaries of those who did go. We didn't even bring our camera...

your work is awesome.

Every time I see one of these I just smile. Great work.

Should I put up a poll about who is the

funniest AN contributor - Nico or Louis?

Seriously, great stuff, Louis. I look forward to seeing you at spring training.

You're dead, Louis,

dead. Watch your back at spring training, buddy, I'm telling you.

Oh, please don't construe that as a threat or anything, ok?

Dead.

So, Nico, who do I get to report you to while I'm still alive?

You sound threatened.

Your heirs should file a complaint

against my villa in France. Be advised, though: I will probably win the case of Sammy's Funeral Parlor v. Estate Le Nico, as Dewey, Cheatem and Howe are top notch.

Buuuuaaahhha-ha-ha!!!
