I was imagining:
Judge: Future Ed, how does your client plead?
Ed: Wait Your Honor, I have posted the wrong lineup…wait…damn…Aw, hell, he’s guilty.
Client: [hands Ed piece of paper]
Ed: [hands paper to judge while still typing on phone]
Judge: Case dismissed!
nice
I was in a hurry to get to my taco

RIP Roger Ebert
Thumbs down. Way down.
indeed
I’m shocked, especially since his last blog entry about taking a “leave of presence” just went up on Tuesday.
I have TV, thanks to cable at the office
A midweek afternoon game on TV? Here?
MLB.TV is a piece of crap. Can’t verify my location in Google chrome.
i’ve had that in so cal. very frustrating.
Really? I’ve never had any location issues with mlb.tv/Chrome (even when trying to fake them out with proxies). Are you behind a firewall?
Could also be something involving his browser privacy settings or extensions.
I couldn’t get anything to work, with or without proxy settings.
I set up a Japanese VPN and now it works great in Chrome; speeds are fantastic. Should work for the local games, too.
Nice
I can confirm that it lets me watch the A’s games on MLB.tv, as well as Japan-only content.
flying keebs
i keep picturing joe pitching.
woooooo reddick!
looks more like the farmer without his wife
NOT well played, Maurer.
nice.
red. dick
just showed a shot of griffin reddick and someone else.
it looked like a panteen ad
Reddick would be the “before” model.
valverde minor league deal tigers
chris young got hit in the ass. in lieu of flowers, donations to his charities
KK says it’s don henley (though he might not know what sampling means). and i heard harmonica. so i am off high plains drifter and conceding those shoes.
Yeah, the interlude with the trainer visiting Young was long enough to get to the opening vocals.
Finally, a day game. My first A’s game of 2013!
Hi everyone
howdy!
I’m enjoying the ridiculous Reddick/Young post-homer handshake.
Also, Reddick crushed that ball.
Also. gold alts!
sogard with a very ellisesque play
innings 2-4 have been more traditional “first time the A’s see a pitcher”
Is he gaining in confidence?
C’mon A.J., Kelly Shoppach has to be an out today.
he doesn’t go on cespedes
I know they scored, but it was still really awesome of them to give us an out.
yup. griffin at 74 pitches
I was just about to type why not theth today, when Chris Young doubled
Phew
These new guys are really endearing themselves to me.
M’s fans must feel the same way about their new guy.
Donaldson: 2 ABs 4 outs
Oof. What’s the record for home runs in April?
you’re thinking small there, when he’s on track for 162/season.
My record book is a bit out of date but it looks like 14 HRs in April by Pujols in 2006 and Rodriguez in 2007.
That’s what BRef says too.
Chris Davis?
That pitch to Morse seemed like it was where they wanted it
I think there would be activity in the A’s bullpen
this is what worries me about argentina having one of its best chances the year the WC is in brazil: neighborly animosity at every level, especially the official ones.

so’s not to dwell on the negative. he’s still got it/mikev bait.

My one wish is that he closes out his career with a fat MLS contract. In San Jose.
Thanks, and go As.
That would be great, but unless Lew Wolff has plans to sell, I can’t see it happening.
Why, MLS pays the contracts not the teams.
Thanks, and go As.
He would be a designated player. Teams pay them, and Wolff has more or less said he wants nothing to do with them.
THANKS AGAIN LEW
Thanks, and go As.
teams pay the excess on DPs. MLS still pays the base. i think…
also, what lew says/what lew means… wondo.
OK. Gotta get Shoppach this time, right?
no
Doubles machine.
Indeed.
Ken’s “Is it high enough?” was the right question. I thought it might knock the wall down.
Potencia!
Yoenis the Menace!
this seems like a much more fun approach than the first two game plans bob tried.
Surprised Wedge left the rookie in after the homer. That’s what Oliver Perezes are for.
1) Every A’s hitter is off the schneid now.
2) The A’s have 25 hits on the year, 15 for extra bases (10 2B, 5 HR).
1) Probably wouldn’t be true if Chris Carter weren’t in Houston.
The steps where Yoenis hit his HR – what are they good for?

No, seriously, is it a part of football stadium configuration?
yeah
They were used for access to the temporary seats that were put up for Raiders games in the original 1960s-1970s stadium configuration. I have no idea why those spaces have never been put to a better use.
they are not in use still?
They use them for fireworks nights!
Original Coliseum configuration with the east-side football bleachers installed in front of the baseball bleachers following the conclusion of baseball season. The ticket-holders on that side had to descend those steps to a walkway at the edge of the field and then climb the bleachers to their seats.
cool
nice, thanks
I suspect they may have some residual obligatory safety requirement attached to them…if you ever listen to the incredibly long recorded “what to do in a disaster” message they play an hour or so before each game, many of the lower sections are directed to go on to the playing field, after which I presume they’d leave the field via those concrete steps, since the small aisles from the lower box sections aren’t big enough to funnel thousands of people.
Also as a practical matter there’s not much room to put viewable seats there now, sandwiched between the original bowl and the post-95 bleachers.
I would hate to be going up or down those steps in the event of a disaster….it’s bad enough when it’s just the rush for a good place to watch the fireworks. Probably better to exit the field through the tunnel that Stomper, etc. emerges from. That’s also a pretty steep climb, but not quite as jostle-ish.
No doubt. If the concrete’s a-rockin, I’m planting my butt on 2nd base until everyone else has left. But my guess is that those stairs are still incorporated into the official disaster egress plan, whether or not that’s desireable.
The first thing you would have to do is knock down the outfield fence to allow the hordes on the field access to the steps.
Come to think of it, the other thing they would still be used for is when you have on-field seating for concerts. This is Day on the Green 1979 (Journey) but I know Kenny Chesney played there last year.
True fact: my father used to work for a company that took care of construction of sets for this and other stuff.
In fact, that’s how I saw my first two shows: Willie Nelson in the Astrodome (almost no memory of the music itself) and Pink Floyd in the Coliseum Arena.
I feel claustrophobic just looking at that.
If you’re out there in the middle of center field and you need to pee, do you really think you’re going to head into the stands for a restroom?
I would guess there was a lot of lovin’, touchin’, peein’ on another.
… absolutely nuthin’ (HUH! — say it again)
Other than letting fans on the field for fireworks nights, I have no idea. Raiders fans? Monster truck rally fans? Chime-on in.
ever since T-long stopped using them as landing spots for his golf-swing HRs… they are mostly for allowing fans access to the field during fireworks nights.
Woo-hoo … come back from a wine-fueled conference dinner to an A’s game on a dodgy stream.
SID!
NOD!
Vicious? Ponson?
Greenstreet? Dhartha?
If Aruban judges are to be believed, Ponson is definitely vicious.

We have not quite reached the point where we can communicate entirely with acronyms (WHNQRTPWWCCEWA).
I like this one.
That Joe Angel home run call is painful.
Chris Carter would have got all three of those, honest.
He’d still be looking for two of them.
Had a beer and some A’s baseball with my lunch. It was nice. Especially the Cespedes HR.
having a beer too!
Doubles monster.
never mind.

In the 8th inning of a 5 run game? Really?
Wedge is trying to avoid permanent emotional scarring to his pitching staff.
Yeah. FK that
Gameday is only showing me Mariners video highlights – it would be nice to see Cespedes’ home run.

well, that was much better ryan
Cooʞʞk!
In my mind, I initially read that in Cyrillic.
It was the best reverse-K I could find on short notice.
heh, same here
hatty with rayesque questions
Gotta fill that void until Tuesday
cespedes is gonna hit 4 off the wall in left in houston
I haven’t finished crunching the numbers, but the early data suggests that we may never lose again
Northwestern alum. Huh.
They are uniformly excellent at sports, right?
Their uniforms are nice enough, I guess.
Without knowing anything about Goebbert whatsoever, I am sad.
You should be. He was drafted in the 13th round, he’s been in the minors for 4 years and he’s never made anyone’s top prospect list. Best I can offer you is this little snippet from the 2012 BP Annual:
“All indications are that his bat will be major-league quality, though being limited to left field by his lack of arm and range will probably prevent him from ever becoming a starter.”
He sucks and that’s no lie about as much fun as watching paint dry.
He once lacerated a kidney running into the outfield wall at the Metrodome at full sprint.
Seems to have a bit of the elcroata in him.
Bummed.
Sad. I’m glad Travis made good use of his days of liberty:
I wonder if he’ll get to fly to Houston with the A’s.
:(

Drop off the key, Lee.
Hop on the bus, Gus.
As andeux once described the A’s offense: 50 Ways To Leave Your Runners
Ah yes, back at the old country.
A classic.
Still hilarious.
Moss on paternity leave. Looks like Shane Peterson might get the call – he was replaced after 1 AB for Sacto last night.
that would be awesome
hope they don’t name the baby wally pipp
Hm, guess not, Freiman is started but Moss is still listed on the lineup card.
