This is Melvin’s protest of today’s Vogting rights decision?
That’ll do, Ed. That’ll do.
ED!
JENNIFER!
DMOAS!
Who?
Game number? Game number

They’re who I always think of first when you write about your SLF.
SLF?
Special Lady Friend or Stiff Little Fingers.
Bocachica-wow-wow!
a happy coincidence, really
The bad news is what we think of when we see ED.
you people have been suffering from Ed since I joined ** in 2007 or so.
Go crazy?
DONT MIND IF I DO!
Stuck with Gameday for the next hour. Later than I wanted to be at work, and now taking the light rail home which takes over an hour, and I have no headphones.
And…there are a hell of a lot of my ancestral countrymen and -women on this train.
Yeah, those techies are everywhere.
bummer. but, so you know, the animation is usually faster than the audio
Vogt had 27 plate appearances for the Rays last year but he Cartered. He drew two walks but is still looking for that first hit, so his career line is .000/.074/.000.
That’s great, hopefully the A’s will get to do the old “pretend to deface your cherished first big league hit ball” trick on him.
how are they gonna know which ball it is that is behind the centerfield fence?
That’s why they need to clean out that O.co sign Donaldson hit in BP.
Did not know the H2A3N3 was still in Baseball.
He’s their version of Suck Ass, but Hannahan has just 86 PA this season compared to Rosales’ 140 (and Rosales missed most of April).
and is really good at his position
See if I could see SA about half as much he wouldnt bother me as much. Would prefer seeing Keebs half as much and SA gone, but would take what I could get.

I love Root Beer Float Day cuz it gets the kiddies all sugared up before noon.
Isn’t it supposed to be sugar-free?
I dunno, I just like the idea of ice cream as dessert… for the breakfast meal. As Bryan (wacchamps) likes to say, “Life is short, eat dessert first.”
Considering that it’s supposed to support the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation…the irony, it burns.
Yes, though Juvenile Diabetes is not the kind caused by sugar eating.
Yeah, but that’s been brought up many times. I just looked up the event and it does state sugar-free floats will be available, so I guess by default they’re not.
And damn, did this post ever get corrected fast:

Confounded metabolic diseases.
No, most are regular, you can get a sugar-free one by request. But they’re trying to raise money; no one’s actually going to pay for gross diet non-floats.
In play runs…in play runs…
SCHLONG!
SCHLONG
Lately it’s been really hard to get the Vogt out..
Vogt’s a funny lookin guy. More’n most people, even.
I was going to make a similar comment but your euphemism is nicer than what I had in mind.
can you be more specific?
I couldn’t really say. He wasn’t circumcised!

Go Bears!
I Vogt RBI!!!!!
New guy!
Vote for Vogt!
Ahhh, the classic rock stylings that keebs so enjoys…
– E. Aybar walked, E. Aybar to third on catcher B. Holaday’s throwing error
WTF
#sciosciaball
One of 6 errors (and 5 unearned runs after the ensuing sac fly) by the Tigers so far.
2 on the mvp
had the tigers not substituted liberally, they would have Cabrera and Fielder up with th e bases loaded and one out down by 8. Now its 2 outs second and third and they are down by 5
game over.
Mark Ellis HR to put the Dodgers over the Giants 2-1
its the 5th, game not over
Dude behind me is making a kissy/sucky sound every 4 seconds. I hate people.
do you want me to change cars?
I keep making this kissy sucky sound every few seconds to drive the people in front of me crazy…life is so good!
A well-timed primal scream should do the trick.
Or an incredibly bad-smelling SBD fart.
Pure evil.
Sharing is caring.
Tried muttering almost under my breath for a while, then got up and moved.
Could you imagine buying stocks from Dusty?
Hey Dusty, should I rebalance my portfolio? Nah man…dont believe that stat stuff, ride the stocks as til they go to zero…
Shutdown inning! Drink!
Sexy Feet!
Oppo!
BOOM
wow. I am liking that guy
Whoo hoo! We’re ass-kickers again!
YEAH!
I guess Bronson Arroyo is the cure for Harang-Bonderman Disease.
Against everyone but Seattle the A’s look like a championship contender.
lets hope they are not in the play in game with the A’s
Thought about you earlier. I moves some stuff out of my apartment today, including my pillows. I have 11 pillows in bed with me right now. And my Avengers blanket. I feel like a princess.
Sounds luxurious.
It’s a cocoon of awesomeness.
I like my pillows like I like my ass… soft and fluffy. Wait, that’s not right…
Perhaps you’re missing an “is”?
I think I will go with James’ plan from now on and just act like SEA are off days.
so, nl teams don’t have scouts?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
The sexy hose!
17,206.
i am starting to believe their numbers
Guys, thanks for threading tonight.
I always shred.
Everything ok?
Yep, just miss everyone.
Threading is caring!
I feel like there’s ten of us left. Ten badass motherfuckers, but still…
Ebb and flow. It’s also a home game tonight, so I don’t blame anyone for not being in front of their computer tonight.
People go to games? Whaaaa?
I… I… I… don’t understand…
Ok, and agreed. A full house always makes for a good time.
By the way…are you aware that a BART strike impends on Monday? If that happens it could throw a monkey wrench into your Bay Area visit.
NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
I was already having second thoughts… :-(
Latest update, with the significant news there being that management has asked Jerry not to impose the cooling-off period. If you weren’t planning on renting a car, you’d want to change that plan. The traffic would be quite a bit worse without BART, but as it’s a holiday week in the summer probably not calamitously bad.
I hate you.
there is muni. you’ll be fine
you may have to talk to one of us, but you’ll get by
Oh no.
We will all be happy to give you rides — not because we’re nice, but because if we get two or three people in the car we can use the HOV lanes.
I finally told my mom you were mosy likely going to be home now. She thinks you’re going to use me as a sex slave.
Did you tell her not to worry, you have a safe word?
I have to work on monday and wednesday, and I am going to the game on thurdsday, so only really tuesday and friday
That’s not bad. I’ll email you later with some questions u had about logistics.
where are you flying in?
OAK
When do you arrive?
Monday afternoon. I think around 2
Listening to the radio on headphones with the TV on (sound down)… video’s a pitch behind so I can see WTF Vince was trying (oh the futility) to describe just seconds before.
I really wish the A’s offered a no-announcer option for TV – just pipe in the PA announcer and set up a crowd mike.
I require announcers. But Glen and Ray are killing me.
WHEEE
Theeing eye thingle to thenter!
Eyeballing this game and watching the filibuster drama in Texas is kind of difficult. However, the latter kind of feels like playing into 18 innings.
so vince, the A’s scored after the Reds scored. What is that? I say, since it is the opposite of a shut down inning, I hope you call it a shut up inning.
ahem.
interesting.
shaky tommy is shaky
Yeah, the Reds have hit some balls hard tonight.
shut it about the weather Vince
i am ok with that walk
better match up. RIght? Right?
THROW SOME FKING STRIKES ALREADY.
Milone is never at 100 pitches in the 5th inning. This is something of a stinker even if he gets out with 2 runs.
Melvin wasn’t gonna fuck around any more. Dusty I imagine “gives his starter the chance to get the Win.”
I reiterate this comment for Twiggy.
Very disappointing performance by Milone tonight after getting handed a big lead.
NESHE”K”
Neshek gets to the dugout and drops his glove in front of Milone.
That new painting looks like the artist was confused between Moss and Doolittle.
Cesar Izturis has raised his batting average 21 points tonight. To .183.
Hey, he’s hitting his weight!
Load the bases for Joey Votto … what could possibly go wrong?
NOTHING
Man, that was harrowing.
Blevins’ face looked like he was a little nervous pitching to Choo, then looked very confident vs Votto, weirdly.
Well you would Choo if it happened to you.
Very close to that infield pop out by Mr Votto….
would that not count?
I had forgotten Sogard was in the game.
Aw – jutht miththed
Bad grammar from Alexi Melvin.
don’t mention it to her, she’ll get mad
No kidding.
I give up
Nice – a no-drama inning for once.
so, there is a marginal major league baseball player who has been through at least 2 organizations and he is still called “Stephen,” not steve or stevie?
It’s pronounced “Steffan”
i like how dusty is emptying the bull pen. I hope he uses chapman in the 8th
That awkward moment when you describe the entire career arc of the pitcher you think just came into the game, from Little League through college, the minors and MLB, complete with tales of the adversities he has endured to get to the big leagues, only to discover at afetr you’re done with the biography that’s it’s really some other guy that has just come into the game.
Yes, Vince just did that last inning.
Wow. Oh wow.
i haven’t really been listening. ha. cool
That was hilarious. It took him an entire batter to realize it was a different pitcher.
Did we cover that on Ibanez’s second homer on Sunday, Vince very calmly said “lifted to left, Reddick will have a play” before noting that it was gone?
(right, not left)
haha, i subscribed the discrepency to vince not knowing whtat the fuck was going on.
Me too.
Wait, Cesar Izturis is seriously still playing?
Wait, he’s only 33?!?
Wait, he was traded straight up for Greg Maddux?
Fun fact: the top twenty all-time in pitcher assists were born in the 19th century. Except Greg Maddux.
I wouldn’t even trade Maddux for him today.
J. J. Hoover.
His parents had no guts, for not giving him Edgar for his middle name.
That sucks.
hey-o
0-for-28, now within 5 of Chris Carter.
And takes pole position on the career hitless-with-a-rbi list.
Victory!
nice
According to the Chron today’s game is on TV after all, on MLB network. Good news for the sick at home crowd.
Let’s just hope they don’t black it out.
Yes!
You’ll get their primary game, Colorado at Boston. Cincinnati at Oakland is the alternate game, and since the A’s aren’t televising on CSN, MLB Network can show the Reds’ telecast in the Bay Area.
…
Weirdly, on DirecTV the main MLB Network channel (213) says the game is blacked out, but on the HD sub-channel of the MLB Net alt channel (214-1) has the Cincy broadcast.
yet not mlb.tv
assholes
Got it on.
Banged a gong.
I worked and missed it anyway.
Federer is in trouble.
Not as much as Hernandez.
Thanks, and go As.
He gone.
That was the warmest night game I’ve ever attended.
wtf vince
Lowrie magical teleport home.
Back to back games better than we think
Lucky Lowrie on that play, missing the plate while the catcher lost control of the ball so he could go back and touch it, then Donaldson goes BOOM.
Wrong
