LET’S GO OAKLAND!
Clap clap, clap clap clap.
Gurtie can get you meds for that.
Oh weird. I saw “Soto” and my first thought was “Who the fk is that?”
DON GEOVAAAAAAANY
(It helps if you say this in an operatic baritone ala “Amadeus”)
bass. that’s the commendatore singing to don giovanni.
yay good ab. need to get to the bullpen
Coco: textbook leadoff AB
May the gods of Baseball notice and smile down upon us.
Yay fast guys.
yAy’s
Jonny Gomes did a thing!
And another thing!
A third thing!
We’re out of sync.
This is awkward.
So… how about them A’s?
Who’s pitching and what did they do with Hammel? No complaint mind.
I’m calling a Golden Sombrero for Carter tonight. Part 1 in the books.
Always root for the Titanium.
Fire away, fire away.
sigh
There goes the perfecto
“Houston…we have a shark attack.”
Come on, CSN graphics guy.
At least they haven’t come up with “I spy Hammel toe” yet.
This Hammel hasn’t given them much reason to “Tell a friend!”
The obvious answer here is Hammel Figurines.
They appear to be doing a movie theme. We’ve also had “You Complete Me” and “Groundball Day.”
Here comes the Hammel we know and loathe
gomes!
I was hoping for Part 2 of the Golden Sombrero but that will have to do.
Jonny Gomes did another thing!
&tc.
i’ll go to the ATM machine and give you cash money if you tell me what the T is for.
It’s for getting from Copley to Government Center.
I was going to say West Portal to Sunnydale
MUNI lines are a properly redundant answer.
is there another N that doesn’t end up on judah / or another MUNI train that travels shortly on judah that isn’t the N?
and if you’re using locations as part of the line name, why not use the actual terminus? oh hey, that might even save you from having to explain outbound/inbound every time too. N-la playa. N-caltrain. done deal.
i swear, every time i hear something like inbound N-judah, i feel like doing something completely insane… like waiting in line for a BART train i’m not going to board.
A lot of them end up at the same place, so if you called them by their terminus it wouldn’t be very informative: i.e J-Balboa Park, K-Balboa Park, M-Balboa Park. It does say L-SF Zoo on the front of the outbound L though.
There’s also the weirdness of the K turning into the L at WP, and vice versa at Embarcadero. I guess that will change once the Rose Pak line is open.
i don’t see several trains ending at the same place as much of a naming problem when the place name is the direction of that train (as opposed to the name of the line). the D, F, N, and Q all end at coney island…
but OK, i do understand several MUNI trains travel very similar paths until they fan out in the sunset, and the distinction is about what ave they use out there… no problem, then just call it judah (name of the line) outbound (direction it’s traveling at the moment). why add the N?
Good question. The buses are like that too, just with numbers instead of letters.
a line and the direction are all you need (barring some loop or bifurcation-defurcation in the middle of the line).
And its fate is still unlearned.
good point. i’ll give you that money as ASAP as possible.
You can deliver it COD.
Without the ‘T’, he would just be hunderbutt.
Jonny Gomes was not going to let Hammel give up a massive hit to Chris Carter. No matter how hard Hammel tried.
Not even Jonny Gomes could stop what was coming, unfortunately.
Not from the bench, no.
Seriously Kuiper? You actually thought that was a triple? Dumbass.
Freiman’s been swinging a good bat lately, I kinda don’t want to see him get sent out.
I wouldn’t rule out a Hammel DFA just yet.
If they DFA him can they add him back to the roster on 9/1?
Howdy All.
How’s this one going?
It was going very well.
This is either my or Jason’s fault.
did KK go is it fowler fair?
It was a Vince inning.
NOBODY EXPECTS TEH 0-0 BATTING PRACTICE FUCKING FASTBALL
this guy sucks.
Thanks, and go As.
A’s fan sighting after the commercial, sitting in the front row. Chick next to him had large personality*
*boobs
Thanks, and go As.
Holy Steve Sparks!
Hmmm … to get the game on the TV I have to run it through the computer, which condemns me to FK on the phone. Not quite the perfect setup yet.
Don’t you have some old laptops lying around? I have an old XP netbook which I specifically use as a radio receiver downstairs.
Nope – I could commandeer the iPad I guess, though it would be hard to hear the game over the wailing and gnashing if teeth.
It’s hard to thread on a phone.
Can your computer power two monitors? If so, you could simply throw the game on a second “monitor.”
It can, and that works in the office when I’m sat at a desk, but I don’t have a cable long enough to have it in my lap in the big chair while connected to the tv.
The ideal would be if the roku box could use the proxy.
You could rig up your router to use the proxy, then the Roku would work. That’s too much work though.
Yup.
Gomes did a nothing
Trevordactyl!
Dude’s been doing bullpen stuff, it seems.
Hey, a Fries stretch worked!
WOW THROW STRETCH
That’s why Samardzija offered to massage Donaldson’s knees or whatever so he can play whenever he pitches.
“I think when your shortest player has the highest OPS it’s probably not a good thing”
Baseball analysis doesn’t get more real.
For those listening to radio, that was Vince, yeah?
Seems too pithy to be Vince. He would have used twice as many words, most of which would be forms of “success” and “confidence.”
The reality is, Vince did say that.
Yes. Maybe Joe Morgan will kick his ass.
Thanks and concur’d.
We had Gallego just to not run into this problem with Rickey.
I don’t like New Catcher’s gear. Too TMNT.
you don’t really hear enough about the tasmanian mens’ national team…
I was going to point that out yesterday. The Rawlings stuff is awful.
I think we can probably rule out the Hammel DFA for Pomeranian tomorrow. Also I bet Soto becomes Hammel’s personal catcher.
Which is irritating, because he didn’t pitch that well. Lot of loud outs. A better team would have given him a thorough Hammeling.
The boys are playing defense like they want Hammel to succeed.
Again with the fuggin’ whistling? Houston, you are annoying.
The fans are getting obnoxious about the whole echo phenomena.
The real question is why aren’t the enforcing the rule book.
If you’d told me the A’s would have 2 runs and be in the lead when Hammel exited, I’d have gladly taken it. I gladly take it.
I’d have thought he hurt himself throwing to the first batter.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuh I just remembered Doo is on the DL.
DP please.
not good
Carter has GOT to be more likely to GIDP. right? Right?
Ouch.
Ugh
So much for that Golden Sombrero idea.
I think that one went a little more than 354.
Clunk.
The A’s need 4 out of 5 on the rest of this road trip to maintain their streak of winning months, which would work out pretty well if it came to pass.
Oh fudge
FUCC
Damnit.
We’ve now wasted Hammel’s best start and Parrino’s homer. Next I imagine we’ll lose one where Coco guns someone out at the plate.
Heh.
Still not even mad at Carter.
I, myself, may never forgive him for that.
hey, didn’t i leave a W around here somewhere? guys? someone broke it in half. left an L.
southbound.
LAA winning 2-0. Uuuuuuuugh
Your information is out of date.
Help us Giancarlo Stanton. You’re our only hope.
Taglined.
Tonight’s loss does not make me like the cut of our team jib any less than yesterday. The jib cut still looks great, says I.
Now you’re just jibbering.
Didja know: Fuck the Angels.
Fun fact: They’re assholes.
The more you know!
…i know too many already!
Bumgarner’s 7 perfect (9K, 72 pitch) needs jinxing.
Bravo
Nice!
