1) DDJ’s wife is on the amazing race
2) Fosse complimented him on his smile
Drunk Fosse: “Dee Dee Jay… You’ve got a purrrrrty mouth!”
I wanna kiss you.
Speaking of TV announcers, every time I tune in briefly to a Cubs game I’m reminded of how good Jim Deshaies is. Today he was talking about “Baseball’s Sad Lexicon” (the Tinker to Evers to Chance poem) and casually mentioned what “gonfalon” means.
Pliny the Toddler it is.
Younger clone?
Actually no – its a lower ABV (4.5%) Pliny-inspired recipe.
Technically, since the Older is an 8% and the Younger is 11%, it should really be called Pliny the Geriatric.
Heh, cool.
So, Pliny the Fetus would be Everclear?
I’ll stick with Pliny the semen (water).
I think that would be Pliny the Corpse.
After thinking about it, it’s Pliny the Abstinence.
Pliny the Tubetied…
Operation, operation,
Snip and tie, snip and tie.
And Pliny the Zygote would be Spirytus.
muahahahah!
Greetings from a suite full of FK/ANers.
Hi back from whoever the fk I am!
Jealous.

I had no idea Jamey Wright was with the A’s in 2010.
Hm, 10 appearances for Sacramento. I sorta vaguely remember that.
I try to forget things like this.
HOT COCO!
Umpire FAIL
While there hasn’t been a single Angel Hernandez moment, this ump crew has been all kinds of terrible.
How four guys watching couldn’t see that.
LOLngoria
Pitcher throws four straight balls, and Cespedes is up there hacking.
HAHAHAHAHA
New Cespedes strategy: be so bad the opposing team just stands there slack-jawed?
Wow. That is the definition of missed opportunity.
Yeah. hope that doesn’t come to haunt us,
ugh
Rats.
I mean, I know it’s old news and all, but the mlb.tv blackout stuff is STUPID.
Thanks, and go As.
Yes.
I found a great workaround on my phone but I can’t mirror that to my TV, and I ethically dont’ really like the piracy streaming angle.
Also the quality of most of those streams are horrible. Why the hell can’t we just use the damn stream we pay money for
Thanks, and go As.
Because the only way RSN’s make money off baseball and a result MLB makes money off the RSN’s is to force locals to pay for an operator. Bypassing it locally online kills revenue streams. And based on those TV contracts, that’s huge money.
I understand that, it’s just bullshit.
Thanks, and go As.
I don’t disagree. But that’s also life.
Yeah, how could you expect the A’s pay Chris Young $10M this year if Comcast’s subscriber fees weren’t being passed on to Lew?
Since when is James Loney good at baseball?
He hit a HR off of AJ, lets not get ahead of ourselves..
Well it helps that AJ is an enabler…
How the fk can the A’s not remove Griffin from the rotation in favor of Anderson?
Anderson needs to get his pitch count up. But yes.
Hell, call up 3 relievers to pitch when he does and just expand each time.
MAJOR DEADLINE ACQUISITION: 30 pitches of Brett Anderson
AAAA Pitcher vs. AAA Hitter–advantage hitter.
Do we know why the Rays are throwing their bullpen at us?
I guess you put Wright in, hope to get an inning or two from him, and then turn to the guy you were planning to use for 4 innings anyway, only you face the wrong halves of Oakland platooning
Why that instead of a real starter?
To get the platoon advantage?
Supposedly Joe Maddon doesn’t think Roberto Hernandez aka Fausto Carmona, whose turn it should be, is a good matchup against Oakland’s lineup.
There was a legendary game where Preston Gomez, the Padres manager, had RHP Al Santorini start the game. Secretly, he had LHP Dave Roberts warming up somewhere under the stands. Santorini pitched to the required one batter, then Gomez brought in Roberts to pitch the rest of the game. Deservedly, the Padres lost. It was the first game of a doubleheader. Santorini started the second game “for real”, and the Padres lost that one too.
Why deservedly? I wish there were much more gamesmanship like that
I am not sure giving away outs against a pitcher of Wright’s caliber is that great of a strategy, Bob.
Do we have to say that Barton is “trying for third” when there’s a 100% chance he’ll make it and a 0-5% chance they even throw?
Eva isn’t having a good game today at 3B.
Does he have a rippin’ hangover? Or has he been poisoned by California gamblers?
SDI
Add on, please.
4:1 Twins
That’ll do, Pig.
4:2 going into the 9th
Nice play at 1B by Barton.
Ctrl-D
Damn, look at that beautiful, sexy place they call the Coli. Hi. Miss you.
NAILED HIM
That was a bit of an act of desperation by a team that is a pile of offensive suck right now. I know the feeling.
TWINS
WIN
Knock knock.
Who’s there?
Opportunity.
Opportunity Who?
Opportunity who gain a game in the standings.
I don’t let drunks in. Sorry.
No. QUEEN, to make it funny.
Another YES VOGT
OMG. What can’t Vogt do? Oh. Okay.
A catcher going to Francesco’s on Hyundai Sunday–how great is it, Ray?
He just had a Raygasm. But I don’t think Francesco’s is a real thing anymore with the team.
Is Hyundai Sunday?
Apparently it is. They mention it with a graphic at the beginning of the game.
The Oakland A’s Booster Club still has their monthly luncheons there. However, I think what’s happening to the A’s Booster Club is the same thing that happened to the 1906 Earthquake Survivors.
Keeping adding on, please.
+1
More.
This inning is a good argument against indoor baseball.
They bitch about the expanded roster. But they ignore the game changes in the playoffs with the extra days off. And no, designating only 25 guys doesn’t fix it, since they’ll just remove starters who aren’t available anyway, more or less negating what they think you’re doing.
Good Doolittle is good.
Now we can use Cook for the ninth.
Doolittle? No, Doolots.
NO FKING BUNTS!
Agreed, although it would’ve been nice if Collapso had at least but the bat on the ball (excepting another GIDP).
DARIC FUCKING BARTON
BARTON
Barton >>> 2013 Reddick, especially considering the improvement in the team’s 1B defense in the last week.
Seriously. At this point I think he makes the playoff roster, and K’s plan moves to the next stage.
It doesn’t have the same effect now that the name is on top rather than on the bottom…
Oh great, Blevins up in the pen to set up a save situation for Cook.
Victory, with a nice, drama-free 9th.
Nice week.
, bitches.
7-3 going through the BAL/DET/TBR stretch heading into the TEX series, and it could have been even better.
A LOT better than I was hoping for.
Wow, Texas coming to Oakland late in the season clinging to a small division lead… what could possibly go wrong for them?
Wow, apparently we’re awesome again.
Sho’ Nuff, who’s the baddest!
Like a new team almost.
Never a doubt.
that game was beyond fun. and the company was superb. i missed those of you i didn’t get to see this weekend; hope to see some of you on tuesday night.
Hipsters in campgrounds look funny to me.
Yeah, they belong in Dolores Park.
You might get an influx of Burners tonight. It could be contentious.
As long as it’s not a bunch of tweakers and twerkers.
We abandoned Tahoe for smoke concerns. In Humboldt now.
Different kind of smoke there.
Thanks, and go As.
a nice place to be. hope you are having a fabulous getaway. :)
So, Gus has gotta be in the running for A’s Game picture of the season, non player edition. He just texted me this:
Thanks, and go As.
i had no idea he took this pic til you mentioned it on fb! i <3 this shot so much. the boys are so psyched!
Neither did I until he sent me the text with it.
Such a great pic.
Thanks, and go As.
it makes me happy.
I hope you had the time of your life.
Clever!
I’ll have you know, though, we weren’t inside watching. The cool kids go out to the parking lot so Mt Davis isn’t in the way.
Thanks, and go As.
Yeah, you don’t wanna be an American idiot.
Yeah, I turn into a Basket Case waiting for the huge group of people going on the field, but When I Come Around to the parking lot and realize it’s a Longview out there because the 3rd deck isn’t in the way, I think people should get a Warning before it starts
Thanks, and go As.
this exchange is precious
Mind. Blown.
I know. I went out to the lot with the cool kids last time.
Last fireworks of the season is Friday evening, September 20 (Twinks series).
Now, far be it from me to suggest anything, like a FKg before-and-after tailgate, that I’m not about to organize, but the parking lot vendors will be out in full force after those fireworks, too …

I choose to be excited about this.

A walk down memory lane. I do not miss 2011, I fear it will be back before I know it.
If Griffin, Gray, and Parker keep improving, I think next year will be more like 2002 than 2011.
Man, Anderson was big.
