    I feel like my lifetime winning average in series with adopted rooting interests is around .250, or even worse. Mostly the tendency to choose the underdog I’m sure, though that’s not really a factor here.

        Such fucking bullshit. That should be a no reservation possible field, as historically it was a latino blacktop game all day everyday.

        retaliation?

        also, just realized that’s MY playground!! ok, never played soccer there but worked 3 doors over so i got to play tennis, swim, eat lunch, park in the secret alley when there wasn’t anywhere else to park, get scolded by the (famous) boss because ironically the park was the only privacy we had in the office and it was bad for his image for the interns to see him acting mean, even have work meetings on those lunch benches while the drunks in the next bench were fighting about whose bottle of booze it was or whose turn to get the next one. those were the days. fuck app rezzies, yo.

          I’m not sure that this is the hill I would want to die on. As SF residents, these companies participate in a soccer league (which is good, right?) As part of that league, they got a permit to ensure they would have a field to use at a set time (which is necessary to that good). Unbeknownst to them, there’s apparently a neighborhood tradition against using that field for those events, so a shitstorm ensues.

          Sounds like that’s on the City for allowing permits at that field. Or for folks in the neighborhood for failing to follow the same rules that apply to all other San Franciscans on all other SF parks.

                  additionally, it’s pretty hard to find one’s people there. i don’t want it to rec people i may know (that’s how i ended up with a pile of i-don’t-actually-know-yous-but-it’s-awkward-to-not-accept-the-invite on FB). but i do want to type in a friend’s first and last name and get an actual result. seems it only allows one-word searches, so you have to know their handle already or hope their name is pretty FKing unique.

                  I am tired of that kind of social media.

                  I was on friendster, migrated to my space and fox drove us to facebook.

                  I don’t care that much. I love to see my friends kids, but I don’t care enough to try to build another network. Unless ello (which I ahve never looked at) offers something new and useful, I will skip it. Like I skipped google + (although I apparently have an account)

                  This is why I don’t think fb is really going to go away anytime soon. I joined ello, but I’ve only checked it a few times (same thing happened with Google+). I’m generally a passive social media user. The majority of the time I skim what others are posting and what’s going on, and only post when something bigger is happening. For the more spectator-based user like me, the familiar platform where the people I know are posting will win out. Despite fiascos like the real name debacle, I don’t think fb has a strong enough Napo character to prompt permanent abandonment from most user. If it did hit that critical mass, I would happily be gone though. I have no real affinity to fb, other than history and the occasional nostalgia-filled romp through old photos

                • AV Oct 14,2014 7:05 pm || Up

                  i like it that there’s a place possible where my parents, clients, former coworkers, passing acquaintances and their friends, parents, clients, former… etc… can’t read what i write, but my non-sports-minded friends can.

                  That’s what was so magical for me about FB. I was a freshman in college when it was rolling out school-by-school so it was this neat way to plan parties, put faces to names, see if people were single, etc. that was also insulated from the outside world.

                  Obviously, that’s long gone for a major app. But there’s a company called nextdoor doing it at a neighborhood level that I think is really neat. Obviously there’s value in broad sites (I use linked-in more than FB, but both have their uses), but I really like having more insular spaces too. Like, well, FK.

                  yep. FB was kinda “dood, let’s party!!” but suddenly the parents showed up.

                  peak experience for me was myspace’s blog tool. apart from being linked to your friends and acquaintances on myspace, you could follow particular friends’ blogs (which didn’t show up on your main page) and comment. unfortunately when FB stopped being a college-age thing, and in fact the middle and high-schoolers i was working with started jumping on it, leading my coworkers to start joining, then my actual friends, etc, etc, myspace became depopulated and died.

                  but i kinda knew that the fun level of FB was limited when my boss, a fairly square noe valley mom, came in one morning all tired and explained, “i was up all night. every time i found a friend it would tell me about three more friends.”

                  and yeah, FK is perfect. except i also know people who don’t like sports, so they’re not inclined to join.

            its on the city. yes.

            I don’t know that they are part of a league. but SF pick up soccer does not rent that field because of its historical use (before the field turf makover)

            I have written my supervisor.

            My take, if I were drop box guys, I would back off and let the kids play.

              I can see why people feel that way, but they were probably looking forward to the game they expected (and paid for) against a “rival” company. I would (and have) certainly kicked people off softball fields for my league’s games in the past, though those fields don’t have the same pickup-game tradition this place seems to have.

        Thank you for being here FSU. I have to admit this is the most I have watched of a game this year, so any and all opinions I have are stupid.

        But is it really possible that all of this was coaching? I mean they aren’t winning the Super Bowl, but honestly the team seemed totally different than what I have glimpsed previously. What are your thoughts? Is this actually a corner that we can turn?

    I cant find any real evidence of it, but it sounds like the recriminations may be starting their eventual leak out.

    On Twitter someone said that someone else quoted an “anon A’s player as saying ‘didnt we bring him (Lester) here to win these games?” (the someone and someone else had names but I dont have a device that can get to the Twitoverse near me).

    Now I just tried a little random internet searching and I am not finding anything that actually sounds like that yet, and getting anon quotes 3rd hand is no way to go through life. But I’m guessing something like this will eventually make its way around followed by stories of how Lester wasnt a good fit, etc.

    But the good news? Pitchers and Catchers in just about 120 days!

      • AV Oct 12,2014 8:06 pm || Up

        chavez was showing (eyeball) signs of slowing down. not sure i agree with neshek’s (heartfelt) appraisal there. a pitching trade was probably necessary. but wasn’t that covered with shark? (sabr projection of chavez after he was demoted would be welcome if comparison is possible from numeroloheads.)

        and you know what other trade was necessary…? i’ll open the floor to mikeV here.

        though speaking of intangible cold body parts, there’s a saying where i come from… pecho frío / cold chest: a guy who doesn’t feel the weight of his jersey. i can’t shunna coudda woudda about lester<--> céspedes as a trade, but man was there an apparent difference in that aspect down the stretch.

        also, nice neshek / fuck you pence (and quit looking at your bat to see how pretty you think your follow through is).

      Pat Neshek wouldn’t have taken the shots he took in the Shea column without talking to some of his old A’s buddies. That was pointed at Beane though; Lester wasn’t part of it, directly at least.

      • 5Aces Oct 12,2014 8:27 pm || Up

        Thats what I thought. Neshek almost sounded like he wanted to get some of that in even if it wasnt totally his idea. He was praising one second and then coming back and criticizing while admitting he was not there for it. It almost felt to me like not only did he talk to them first, but maybe they called him up and suggested ‘hey, if anyone from SF talks to you…’.

        That’s to be expected.

        That said, there was something pathetic in Beane saying the A’s wouldn’t have made the playoffs without Lester. Uh, so they can play one play-in game and lose because Lester couldn’t hold a big lead? That’s your defense?

        Why not? “I rolled the dice and took a shot and I lost.”

        • 5Aces Oct 12,2014 11:13 pm || Up

          I find it weird how everyone has been obsessed with what Billy says. Like we have ever expected anything of note from him? Folks who want him to apologize, or say he made a horrible trade. What GM ever comes out and does that?

          Now what you suggest though bear I think would be totally reasonable. I would love to hear Billy repeat what he said since day 1 and ten just say that sometimes you go all in and the other person has a better hand. Or make some other more appropriate poker analogy. But I dont expect him to say “I panicked when Pom broke his hand and Tommy Milone pissed me off so I went crazy.” And honestly I would think less of him if he did say that-true or not.

              Yeah. I think I have been one of the people most down on Lester’s performance with us, but I totally admit in the end all of the reactions are based on where we end up.

              And I still wonder why none of the chicken and beer stuff stuck to him? Everyone else from that team was a loser who didnt care enough but he is now a gritty winner.

              If the A’s had won, it would have been because the scored a whole bunch of runs, not because Lester was great.

              But the narrative was all about Lester when the A’s had the lead, even though his outing was average through 7. And people would have given Beane credit for his gutsy, much-maligned trade.

          The bench coach is usually the second-in-command, the one the manager confers with on strategy decisions and who is presumably most acquainted with the details of the game plan. Usually its the bench coach who takes over when the manager is ejected. So more than having a specific assignment like the other coaches do, the portfolio for bench coach is essentially Deputy Manager.

There’s just no NEED for anyone to call balls and strikes anymore. Better to have a perfectly consistent if not entirely accurate caller. And human can’t do that.

        OK … I’ll take Lackey getting shelled and pulled in the first inning, Piershitski getting hurt being run over at the plate by Posey, Huddy pitching a gem, and the Gnats still losing on copious hilarious fielding errors.

        • dmoas Oct 14,2014 10:35 am || Up

          Screw that. Huddy is dead to me. Lackey gets shelled, AJ gets shellacked in the back by a bat, and Huddy gets shellacked after all the high and mighty think it’s a done deal. Think Win #20 only without the win. Gnats lose.

          I’ve gotten cute with my gnats rooting in the playoffs the past few years, and we know how that turned out. So I’m done with any caveats. I hope they get beaten thoroughly and demoralizingly, and every single one of their players has a terrible no good game

    A’s in playoffs = I take PTO so I can watch a game that’s taking place 1,800 miles from my office.

    Giants in playoffs = all my co-workers sit around at a table 15 feet from my desk, watching a game that’s taking place 2 miles from our office for which $45 tickets were available on StubHub, screaming their heads off.

      i recommend you take PTO right now and forget to write it up since they wouldn’t notice anyway.
