So, my erotica novel, “537 Shades Of Off-Puce” is coming along slowly. Although my editor says I should probably add some actual sex to it, otherwise it won’t sell.

Today was a good day. I was trancing like all get out late in the game to try to help, and hopefully it helped, but it sure left me drained.

I don’t see how you can dislike that call. Compared to the body of work its excellent. It was appropriately excited. He told you where it was and that it was going out and its by far better than the Kuiper call.
In play, run(s)! Talk dirty to me gamecast, talk dirty. - Nevermoor
Its ok as something to say after he says “A”s win” But not in the middle of the sentence where me, the daily radio listetner is learning what the hell is going on on the field
1st, clarify that it’s actually a hit and what kind of hit it is, then celebrate it.
there’s a very subtle difference between KK’s and VC’s calls, because they use pretty much the same words for the description of the hit, but KK’s are dots that lead you to something and VC’s jump to the conclusion and then come back to explain the in-between but in wide circles around what he already said, which never hit the spot in the first place, and that’s just not helpful. i’m actually still waiting for vince to clarify that it was a home run…
breaking ball

[pause]
the oakland A’s, they haven’t run out of miracles yet
a 2-run straightaway center-field home run by josh donaldson
in the bottom of the 9th inning and they tie it up at 4-4
—————-
2 on, 1 out in the 10th the pitch, the pitch
swung on, driven
deep right field
way back there
oakland is the walkoff capital of baseball
brandon moss, a 3-run blow
the A’s have done it again
their 14th walkoff of the year
there is a mob scene waiting for brandon moss
he’s at home plate
and the A’s have come all the way back
and have beaten the mariners 7-4
unbelievable
i mean, i guess in this case a blow is a HR because i can do the math and figure out that 2 on and 1 at the plate means that a 3-run blow is a HR. but it’s not uncommon to say a team delivered a blow with just a bases clearing double, right? just say it vince, it’s a home run. or, the ball went over the fence. or, and that baby is gone even.
*i’m* AV. alex vause. put this loon in psych before she hurts someone.
No one is saying that VC’s call was better than KK’s, and you do highlight the deficiencies in VC’s approach. But the call was pretty good, and much better than I expect from VC in general.
You had already seen the play in person by the time you heard it, right? I heard it live while not watching the game, and while I made the connection, it sounded awkward.
av and I are radio only guys. We need this information and it has been lacking all year.it its maddening. ALl vince has to do to improve from a C to a B+/A- is flip the “blow” sentence with the walkoffcapital one.
Having not heard the audio myself, you’re right that that second one is awful. The “Oakland is the walkoff capital of baseball” just comes across as a weird non sequitur. Adding a 3-run blow doesn’t help terribly, but you might get a little excited, but you have no idea what really happened, where the ball was hit, etc. you just know that somehow the A’s won, but not knowing that right away.
You shouldn’t have to do that kind of mental math in your head when you listen to a game live on the radio. Radio requires clear, concise recitation of the action on the field. Not colorful analogs for it.
It was way too gimmicky for the moment. Vince needs to stick to basics. His worst instinct is that he always wants to skip to the thing you say after you’ve told what happened before he has actually told what happened. I don’t know how he can have failed to learn how to do it right after working next to Korach for all these years, but somehow he has.
Yeah, I have those thoughts too… except I have the sneaking suspicion that I AM THE QUEEN!

The titles of mystery novels have really gone downhill….case in point…Robert Crais…first novel, Monkey’s Raincoat…I wasn’t sure what it meant but I was curious to find out…current novel is called..Taken and no Liam Neeson isn’t in it.
Just got a call from Bridget the Midget…it looks like the Marines are about to invade the island she took over and has been running as a tax dodging cult for the last 6 months. Looks like I’ll need lawyers, guns and money to get her out of this one.
They have to be sure all the bases get touched appropriately. Since Morse wandered around through no fault of his own they reset things to before the missed call. Had he then ran past first and missed it, he could have been called out through appeal. They needed to be sure there was absolutely no confusion as a result of all that if the Cards choose to appeal.
also, if there’s a chance that the player would get called out on appeal, isn’t it partial of the umps to tell one team first? shouldn’t it be up to the team to figure that out on its own, meanwhile the other team is figuring out that they should throw the ball to 1st or whatever?
*i’m* AV. alex vause. put this loon in psych before she hurts someone.
That’s the point. The umps *can’t* say/warn anyone about it which is where the fairness of avoiding confusion would come in. Resetting things allows whatever Morse et al do to result in a fair outcome if he missed/doesn’t miss a base and gets called out for it. Imagine if he didn’t hit all the bases with all the back and forth crap correctly and they just had him run it out and the Cards appealed. Should he be out because he fked up only as a result of the Umps missed call or is he safe because the umps fked him up? Best to reset and do it again.
In that case he has to either go immediately back to third or continue immediately trying to get home to get the interference call. Just stopping because he was inferred with and making no attempt to continue negated the interference since the umps can’t assume your actions.
Oakland City Councilman Ignacio De La Fuente, who sits on the Coliseum’s governing board, said … “We don’t run the facilities; we are not the experts on this.”
In context of that quote it seems pretty innocent. They didn’t realize how bad the noise was going to be because they’d never done it before and they relied on AEG’s experience. Next time they plan on insisting that it be done in doors. No biggie.
Being on the governing board and saying you don’t run the facility is pretty lame, but I’ll accept that my judgement is likely influenced by DLF’s extensive previous responsibility-avoiding.
I was caught a bit by surprise by that whole scene, but as a geezer who was in the area as a non-participant it didn’t bother me at all, the young people were mellow enough when they came back to the hotel late that I wasn’t disturbed, and that clearly brought a lot of money to the businesses especially the hotels in the area…quite a bit more business for the hotels than the Friday night A’s game brought.
I’ve dealt with this issue as a Lake Tahoe local. A few times a year, up here particularly Fourth of July and New Year’s Eve, and to a lesser extent all summer weekends, you just have to bite your tongue a bit while you collect the visitors’ money.

So, my erotica novel, “537 Shades Of Off-Puce” is coming along slowly. Although my editor says I should probably add some actual sex to it, otherwise it won’t sell.
My buddy Phil had the same situation, and he added sex to his sci-fi novel to get it published.
I thought at first you linked to that Phil Collins erotica site yet again.
Nice win, bitches.
Yes, Ma’am.
Today was a good day. I was trancing like all get out late in the game to try to help, and hopefully it helped, but it sure left me drained.
So…come here often?
So…what’s your sign?
So…why am I asking you what your sign is…do I think it’s 1982 or something?
So…you know what would look good on you?…me.
So…what are your thoughts on restraints and motor oil?
I prefer Japanese rope bondage and Crisco, but I’ll take what I can get!
You can’t always get what you wanted but if you try sometime you just might find you’ll get tied up like you need.
So…tell me more about you…specifically in what you think about me.
So…do you swallow?
So…what do you say we just skip the small talk and I just pay you up front?
So…is that a hidden penis or are you just happy to see me?
Yes!
So…how bout them Cowboys?
.com?
.net?
Brandon has written a lot of great tweets, but I think this one made me laugh the hardest:
BEST. TWEET. EVER.
(one of us! one of us!)
So…can I buy you drink and then maybe you marry me so I can get my green card?
So…is it me or do we have a little something going on here and if it’s just me please don’t file a restraining order.
So…do you tweet on the twitter or do you actually have a job?
So…Regular Battleship or Electronic Battleship?
So…I know you are but what am I?
So…do you like movies about gladiators?
So…do you think later I can take you to meet my wife’s parents?
So…what do you say we get out of here and do something kinky like do each other’s taxes?
So…tell your mom thanks for the herpes.
So…why don’t you give me a 6 page essay about the life and work of Adam Smith?
So…what do you say we call it a night so I can go post on an A’s related blog about things that rarely if ever have anything to do with the A’s?
greetings from the walkoff capital of baseball.
as i’ve heard. musta blocked it out the first time or something.
Vince makes me sad.
I don’t see how you can dislike that call. Compared to the body of work its excellent. It was appropriately excited. He told you where it was and that it was going out and its by far better than the Kuiper call.
it was fine until he said the capital thing. i liked it even.
I liked the capital thing.
Me too.

i compared not to state the obvious (that KK is better) but to show that KK took me to it in real time while with VC…
i was listening and didn’t know what the fuck just happened.
BOTTOM LINE!
Walk off capital = we win. It was horribly obvious to me
it takes two extra connections in your brain to process. its a bad call. he is our eyes.
well, i don’t like VC either, but i’m not going to stoop to calling him an “it.”
you also weren’t listening to it live. You knew it was a homerun because you saw it ealier with your own eyes
this is fair.
You had already seen the play in person by the time you heard it, right? I heard it live while not watching the game, and while I made the connection, it sounded awkward.
av and I are radio only guys. We need this information and it has been lacking all year.it its maddening. ALl vince has to do to improve from a C to a B+/A- is flip the “blow” sentence with the walkoffcapital one.
Or go to TV where he won’t be relied on to detail what’s happening.
Cotroneo –> TV
Hatteberg –> TV
Fosse –> Radio
KK stays put
Bill King –> resurrected
Kuiper –>
DFA“AND THAT BABY IS GONE!”only if fosse learns to speak just when spoken to and gets no pxp innings of his own.
I could agree to those terms. I’d even give the Sac guy another shot with KK & Ray.
i like darko.
thats fine. he was a little confused at times, but he told us the play action first
yeah.
yuppers
Im glad you are no longer giving him to me. I want him not.
I meant DFA in its original sense.
biblical?
Thanks, and go As.

How do you walk off? Oh yeah you score runs.
We know he hit it to deep right field.
Three run blow? Two runners on that means that you hit a homer.
this has all already been addressed.

I don’t know how he can have failed to learn how to do it right after working next to Korach for all these years, but somehow he has.
and yet he didn’t do that here.
look vince suxs three year old pickled eggs, but lets complain about when he actually is bad.
This is my reaction. I was pleasantly surprised by the call although it was a bit garbled.

If pie is necessary in October, I think Reddick should celebrate by going a slightly different route.
make the hero motorboat him
Maybe it is because I have been drinking but I found the Nats/Cards GS hilarious. We didn’t get anything funny when the umps consulted the replay. :(
Loved how Morse “swung” before jogging.
mine was the confused employee #8 in the dugout after.
He has really turned his season around. Good for him
That was awesome. :D
i just don’t get it. why does he have to do that?
They have to be sure all the bases get touched appropriately. Since Morse wandered around through no fault of his own they reset things to before the missed call. Had he then ran past first and missed it, he could have been called out through appeal. They needed to be sure there was absolutely no confusion as a result of all that if the Cards choose to appeal.
but the fake swing?
He should have carried the imaginery bat with him and slid into each base.
ah…
That was apparently just Morsey being Morsey.
well…
he didn’t have to do that.
…ok.
He was just having fun with the process.
also, if there’s a chance that the player would get called out on appeal, isn’t it partial of the umps to tell one team first? shouldn’t it be up to the team to figure that out on its own, meanwhile the other team is figuring out that they should throw the ball to 1st or whatever?
That’s the point. The umps *can’t* say/warn anyone about it which is where the fairness of avoiding confusion would come in. Resetting things allows whatever Morse et al do to result in a fair outcome if he missed/doesn’t miss a base and gets called out for it. Imagine if he didn’t hit all the bases with all the back and forth crap correctly and they just had him run it out and the Cards appealed. Should he be out because he fked up only as a result of the Umps missed call or is he safe because the umps fked him up? Best to reset and do it again.
trying to play out the miggy arguing with ump and getting called out instead of being safe at second(?) sequence in my head…
In that case he has to either go immediately back to third or continue immediately trying to get home to get the interference call. Just stopping because he was inferred with and making no attempt to continue negated the interference since the umps can’t assume your actions.
oh right. the ol’ latin american arguing-instead-of-playing trick.
such a firey people
fiery yet lazy!
Thats a point I hadnt thought of before. It is almost the equivilent of an ump telling someone “hey..maybe throw to 3rd and appeal the tag up..”.
I dont really have a problem with this because this is all new, but that would be a good clarification in rules-dont be dumb because we wont help you.
Okay, whoever thought an outdoor rave at the Coli was a good idea can bite me. :(
why?
Amplified, throbbing dance music and sleep don’t mix.

I’ve dealt with this issue as a Lake Tahoe local. A few times a year, up here particularly Fourth of July and New Year’s Eve, and to a lesser extent all summer weekends, you just have to bite your tongue a bit while you collect the visitors’ money.
Poker night tonight! Yay!
