This team sucks ass.
Why don’t you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?
Well I didn’t do that because they tend to do better when I explicitly say they won’t just to show me up. I did NOT do that at all.
this team suck
Screw you.
Fine! Then I *WON’T* masturbate!
Right. They have a better chance of winning this game.
Don’t you dig how beautiful the colosseum is?
yes
Last time we played these cats our winning pitcher was Dolla Mills.
FK THIS GAME, DAMN IT!!!!
Ken Korach’s back, and there’s gonna be trouble
(Hey la-di-la, Ken Korach’s back)
Recker?
BARELY KNEW HER!
Damn near killed her.
So I apologized to her for recklessly endangering her safety and bought her a taxi home.
Oh good.
can’t it be the third or 4th?
My thought exactly.
Nice of the A’s offense to cooperate by going down quickly, but Selig’s coming back for another half inning, argh.
only question i have is how long till they mention jeter?
Kaz looks like a “got milk?” commercial.
The A’s should be using bats filled with different colored paint, so when they get broken, they’ll make pretty pictures.
They should put hollow tubes over their bats so their opponents think, maybe it’s a 35- or 36-ouncer.
I am ok with the angels red sox going 13 with a walk off pinch hit HR by cespedes
Sounds like a plan. Where do I sign?

Thanks for not signing, Thunderbutt. You blew it.
camptown races sing this song
i doubt that.
how does that go?
tengo mis dudas.
“i get no kick from champagne…”
HOLD IT HOLD IT – WHAT THE HELL IS THAT SHIT? I said a song. A REAL song. Something like Swing Low, Sweet Chaaaaaariot.
That’s races!
…we can haz win? pls?
It’s sort of ironic that Selig does his farewell visit on the first game post-Raiders shit up field.
How did he catch that.
Byrnesian.
he’s arrived!
Bill is rolling over in his grave.
DAMMIT!
And calhoun made a catch denying a 3 run home run in the 2nd?
suck the red fox
Thank you Anthony Recker, not just for the GIDP but also for ending the droning of Bud Light on the broadcast.
You know you’re in for a hard-hitting interview when the first question is “You’ve done so many great things. What are you most proud of?
20 years of labor peace … how great is it?
Are you sure it wasn’t “how proud is you?”
I mean you talk about commissioning baseball, being the commissioner of baseball, and you go back to Spring Training where you had some trouble with commissioning things, and certainly commissioning baseball as well as other responsibilities of being the commissioner, and of course this is Derek Jeter’s final season, and you get that good fastball, and how great is that?
Glen and Ray looked 100% fascinated by Bud.
Vogt early, Vogt often!
You have to wait until the litigation is done to do….WHAT?
To come up with another excuse not to make a decision, naturally.
where was the litigation 3 years ago?
Clearly they need to wait until litigation is done so that they can pit both cities against each other to give them bucketfuls of money.
Selig is bragging like a motherFKer.
Oh goddamn it, now he’s in the TV booth.
Why do we need shots of him talking? Show the goddamned game in full screen and just use that “In The Booth” graphic.
Well look at all he did. By himself. With no help from any owners, players, society, anything. He is the single greatest man of his generation. Id brag a little too.
Yeah, it’s a pretty incredible thing to have singlehandedly turned baseball and its franchises into marketing brands that happen to field baseball teams.
The A’s should give Selig a farewell gift of a rocking chair made out of broken plumbing fixtures.
And mug made out of baked sewage.
And a toupee made out of raw shit.
Doesn’t he already wear one of those?
Where do you think he gets what he needs for his hairpiece replacements?
Classic Fosse:
“Because change and I’m sure over the course of your time and I have to ask you how important has change been in baseball cause a lot of people say let’s leave it the same but change has been good and I’m sure you recognize”
and at that point Selig cuts in and starts to answer, apparently worried that the question would not conclude before he died.
He probably feared that Fosse was leading up to proposing marriage.
“And that’s why you’re the man I want to spend the rest of my life with, and then you get that good fastball, and how great is that?”
Warning: Bud Selig plans to teach at Marquette, Wisconsin and maybe Arizona State, along with writing a book.
3 schools to scratch off of the college visit list, sweet!
It is hard to imagine anyone paying actual money for that book.
I bought “Juiced”.
Wow. I was looking at the baseball shelf in the county library the other day and that one was sitting there, but I didn’t feel the slightest temptation.
#savedyouapurchase: Some players used steroids
Not a bad class to enroll in; the deadlines for term papers get extended indefinitely.
Especially good when he appoints a BRC to grade the exams, but it tends to hold up graduation proceedings.
Fosse’s talking to Selig like you talk to a doddering uncle. Which is weird, because that’s how everyone else talks to Fosse.
lets just scor 8 and get on with it.
That was a quality slide tackle by the SS.
home runs please
Sogard is up.
The Athletics are my favorite squadron.
I’m OK with the Mets though.
Rain/Thunderstorm please
Shit. How can Donaldson just watch that pitch go by?
Bringer of Fog.
dammit
Kazmir is the least Texan-looking guy from Texas I remember since Keith Foulke.
Shit
d’AMN IT
d’OH!
Something righteous and hopeful.
pollyanna!
polyphony!
Moss Vogt and Norris. I’m calling a run here.
Don’t call collect.
It answered!
Hello? Yes, this is run.
Hit it run.
Now the Adidas I possess for one man is rare
myself homeboy got 50 pair
got blue and black cause I like to chill
and yellow and green when it’s time to get ill
Holla!
At least it wasn’t on an 0-2 pitch.
I dont like thinking game over in the 4th inning.
We’re going to win.
so game over
Ok, you have my Vogt.
Fosse just loves the Stephen Vogt chant.
does he sit there reciting all the words in order with newsreader cadence like vince likes to?
Nice, Stephen.
Catcher(s)
please don’t hit a ground ball
Come on Callaspogard.
Callaspo goddamn it if you hit into a double play I’m slashing your tires.
There. Now you will not have to face criminal prosecution.
SEND THE RUNNERS!!!!!!
Lew looks like he’s praying.
Would be OK with an HBP here Alberto. Just FYI.
A run! :)
MULTIPLES!
…(s)!
COCO!!! Whoot!!!
Gee, it might have been a bad idea to walk Sogard.
Coming into tonight the A’s are 16-4 when Sogard draws a walk.
The A’s really, really needed that triple by Coco Crisp. So did he, for that matter.
Coco! How I’ve missed you!
♡♡♡
I am definitely team Coco.
Grant Balfour gave up a triple and three straight walks to help Detroit to a three run top of the 11th. Jim Johnson stands to be the winning Tiger pitcher.
Let them think he has figured it out-he just needs more games…
Unless I’m hearing things CSNCA just said “Giants base-” before getting cut off to commercials.
Yup! Heard it on MLB.tv.
KK can’t pass up a chance to bring up huge bottoms.
Recker I assssssume?
the 4th inning.
Selig
That Mets-A’s record doesn’t include the most important 4 wins we have against them.
Man, the ’73 Mets were in a weak division. 1st w/ 82 wins.
Everyone was certain the Reds were going to crush them in the NLCS.
Heh, nice.
OK, that’s a pretty great mugshot Rick Perry took. Respect.
It should be etched in leather on a jacket. It kind of already is.
Why is that muppet made of leather?
Delay’s was cool too
Kind of messed up the Mets cut CY25 before he could make his Coli homecoming.
Poor guy didn’t get to go to Houston at all this year.
If bartolo was pitching, I might buy a ticket
Not the night for this, Cook. You need to lock this ess down postehaste.
Our bullpen is awesome. Our starters are awesome. Our hitters are adequate. We’re going all the way, baby.
BoMel is awesome!
4th best team wRC+ in the AL. Not too shabby.
Our fans are the BEST!
Our facial hair is outstanding!
Our broadcasting crew is!
They’re still shitty.
[nods]
SCHLONG!
sHReddick!
I love Josh Reddick and I don’t care who knows it.
Yes! Those extra two runs feel huge.
I will admit I like having a bullpen where I cant make the obligatory “hey looks like we can use x” joke.
Looks like we can use Cook! Oh wait…
What has Callaspo gots in its pocket?
lead weights? his wallet?
OH MY GOD THEY WILL NEVER SCORE
But enough about my social life…
You got a mouse in your pocket? I said they.
Me myself and I.
Just Doo it!
Doo’d.
Ballgame! Oakland Wins It!
That’s a beautiful win, baby.
W00T!!1!
Nice win, bitches!
So…we’re all NOT gonna die?
We have Met the enemy, and it is not us.
Nice win, bitches!
By the end of the week, after the Angels were swept, everybody will be happy, merry and cheery again.
i love you, b.
