Looks like a candidate for word play, as in
"Dewey, Cheatham, and Howe, Attorneys-at-Law"

the new baby or the knee? or both?

Geren hasn't gotten around yet to switching Chavez and Crosby in the lineup.

get FSNnorth, minnesoat announcers.

or am I just lucky?

Briggs William Ellis born around 2:00 pm today, mom and baby are fine (Korach didn't say how Mark was doing).

KOTS IS BACK, WITH A HEALED BACK!!!!

The Twins people are talking about Bert being compared to a horse, a mule, and a donkey.

C;mon DJ!

This might become a quickie for Slowey.

did you see DJ at-bat??

why the hell swinging at everything?

What and the heck was that....of course Chavez comes up with runners on and blows it after a great at bat by Johnson....unbeleiveable that we let this guy off the hook!!!!

Chavy...not so much.

Way to be unclutch.

WOOOOOOOOOO!!!

He must be fishing with Bigfoot, the Roswell aliens, and Rich Harden.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Now lets not blow it this time....Awesome to see Kotsay back in t!!

grill out on the deck experimenting with sockeye salmon filet....unsalted butter, crushed garlic and smoked sea salt with mesquite chips...  about 10 more minutes

"Kendall" and "hits a groundball" in the same sentence!

I'm a huge A's fan serving in the Peace Corps in Honduras.  One of the things I've missed most since coming down here four months ago is watching A's game.  But I was channel-surfing today (I have cable TV, but no running water, go figure) and found this game being broadcast live on Fox Sports!  I am a very happy camper right now.

Can someone please explain to me how Kendall makes 13 million dollars a year. If you haven't seen it you should check out Yahoo sports today where jason Kendall got rated at the most overpaid player in baseball.....you don't have to tell us we live it!!!

Swish! AHHHH!

This guy sees more time on the field than Harden and Kielty...combined.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

by looking at kennedy

Hope you brought your first baseman's mitt.

of agony?

Is there a cap on the number of Larry Davis' visits in one half inning?

I thought it was against the rules to score a run with runners in scoring position....I guess that rule only aplies if you are wearing green and gold...

replays looked like Swish kinda jammed his ankle on the pickoff throw that Kennedy threw in the dirt.  Didn't look too awful.

See those cute guys behind you? The one wearing gloves? Those aren't members of your fan club, sugar cakes. They are there for a reason.

the first what was I thinking.....I almost thought that with the bases loaded one out and some guy pitching who has never pitched before we would have scored. What was I thinking?

And presumably anyone with a 1420 SAT score knows not to throw an offspeed strike to Chavez.

The Cubs Braves game where two Cubs players got into a brawl in the dugout...I guess that Zambrano went to the Hospital with a broken nose...Im sure that this has been played all over the place and I am just seeing this for the first time....That was Crazy.....

Way to bring his pitch count up.

Effing foul acreage.

What do we need to get a hit with runners in scoring position.....UGH!!! This is ridiculous.....

on that second chance.

Time to DL him.  

for Chavy...but then I am thinking would I rather have the Pitcher hit and DH for Chavy or Kendall??? HMMMM.......

has gone 16 1/3 innings without a strikeout....the Oakland recored is 17 innings....not exactly the stat you want to hear...LOL!!

FSNBA just replayed the Kotsay inside-the-parker.

Did Roy Steele announce at the beginning of the game..."Warming up in the visiting Bullpen and pitching for the Twins.....Cy Young!!! Or is it just that our offense is worse than a AAA Team?? Just wondering?

likes to swing at those pitches that bounce three feet in front of the plate.

smoke and mirrors?

Dee-yamn.

the weather there and they were talking about it on FSN North.

x2

Its 1-0 guys.  He freaks me out too, but Kennedy is actually hanging there.

...3 hits.

That's .091.

for innings pitched with out a strikeout.

[throws confetti]

THERE IT IS BABY!!!!

We ALL believed in you

Post about Chavez the other day, he has a good game against Texas.

Post a few minutes ago, he hits a home run.

Yet it hurts so good!

strike out!!!!! lets go A's!!!

"Johan Santana"
"Pitchers' duel"
"Kirk Saarloos"

evidence trump statistical probability?

Way to break that streak!

Legs are OK, and Neshak's got the off balance delivery.

Plan B: Cust pinch hits for Kendall and hits a game-winning HR

starting a week from tonight.

Given the injury hell so far, is anyone else even more terrified than usual by this prospect?

would be a good time Kots!

Kots avg down from .333 to .250...

Cust PH, Melhuse catch?

Good decision to let Kendall bat. Why waste a pinch hitter and take Kendall out of the game at catcher when there's a 75% chance the inning will end with the pinch hitter? Kendall's play blocking balls in the dirt is a big reason we're still playing, btw.

i'm at my friends house i will insist on watching his son's favorite movie, Meet the Deedles.

Can't get a single out before he barfs up the lead.

what in the hell has happened to our boy Kiko Calero?

There's now reason for this game to be in the 10th inning.  Way too many missed opportunities with runners on earlier in the game....again.

wrong place.

This game's over.

for another walk off HR from Sir Milton Of Swat!

7 runs.

Let's Go Oak-Land!

i will try to stomach this out.

Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim of California just keep winning...By the time we have assembled a team that is capable of winning we may be out of the race.......

ball 4

C'mon Cros!

Stupid, stupid Calero

ugh ugh ugh

get no hits with runners on base....UGH....There is an A in Frustrated!!!!!!

Teasing us with offense at the end of a close game.  That last strikeout was just on BBTN.  Probably the only highlight from this game.

No Duke, no Street.  If they are around one of them pitches that 10th and we win in the bottom half.

When is Street due back, 2009?  I swear this team is so defensive and secretive about injuries you need a security clearance above the Cigarette Smoking Man to get the scoop on what's going on.  Larry Davis is the Soviet Union of sports trainers.
