Ed and his son are at the game so victory is all but guaranteed.
I just want you to know I did all these pitching stats from memory.
Unleash the Hound!
OK, let’s re-leash him.
Ugh.
That’s 10 runs allowed in their last 3 innings.
Down 3-0…I blame Ed.
I refuse to believe Bed knows all of this baseball info. This is a dream.
I’ll fess up and admit sirbed set up this thread.
it just hasn’t been the same ever since BD stopped giving a crap.
I heard that guy ended up in a Russian prison.
I guess there are worse choices in the world than Sam Fuld to hit second. Off the top of my head I cant think of any, but give me a bit…
If this game isn’t doing it for you I’m sure there’s clips on YouTube of Sinbad doing stand up.
So 3 phone interviews today. Effectively crossed Seattle off my list when the manager told me they are about 2 years away from having the basic equipment needed to do our job and basically I have to carve schedules into stone tablets in the interim…
That place is falling into the ocean soon anyways.
That is my other thought. At least in the other options I can live on the east side of town and drive really fast if I need to.
This team is bad enough that Bob Geren should be managing it.
Any chance we could get DA to come manage a game or 2? We have baseball players who are trying to play baseball in the American Baseball League.
Dennis Allen is the man for all sports that involve sports and people playing sports in the field of sports.
I assume Beane signed Billy Butler mostly for his glove.
That, and his speed.
He’s the Rickey Henderson of this generation.
If you cut him in 2 you’d have the weight of 2 Hall of Famers.
i spent two minutes too long overworking the comment…
you can split him in half and still have two guys with a healthy appetite.
Either way it involves a lot of dead weight.
Guess there’s only one thing left to do:

(yes I will use this scene for as many things as possible)
I can confirm that Dan Haren was directly involved in starting the process of the normalization of our relations with Cuba.
Eric Sogard for Bryce Harper…who says no first?
(crickets)
But no Big Bopper.
how bout ritchie valens? neé valenzuela, from san, yeah you got it, fernando.
also, mrs AV hates it when i sing chantilly lace. but man i love singing chantilly lace.
Thats what I like.
How much is parking cost now at the old balldump?
$20? tuesdays are free?
Yes and yes.
$10 VIP with the front-row seats.
$10 for season ticket holders if you buy them in person, or $13 or so (depending on how many you buy at a time to spread the costs over) if you’re lazy and buy them online because even though there is no service involved, you still pay the service fee.
When you buy them online, you print out a page similar to a ticket printout page. Each parking pass has a unique barcode on it. When you go to the parking gate, the attendant will take the page and tear the barcode part out so you can’t use it again. However, they don’t scan the barcode. I mention these facts purely for general interest….I don’t know whether the A’s are checking the barcodes after the fact to see if someone printed out multiple copies of the same pass. Since only STH can buy the passes, I suppose if they did, they could try to recover the money from you.

Aloha Jennifer
Bat kick for Reddick. He’s maturing
@bed I believe $20
Holy Alameda!
Well, this break in the action gives me more time to talk about Glenn Frey’s acting career. Little known fact he had a TV show that only aired one episode where he played a private eye named Cody McMahon. The show was called South of Sunset.
And yes…I watched it. Because I belong to the city.
And the fact you are posting here well after 10pm your local time means you also belong to the night.
Well it’s almost August so The Heat Is On so I’m staying up a bit later.
Wasnt he also on episodes of Miami Vice? Was this a spinoff of it? Did they consider him for the MV movie? Did anyone ever see the MV movie?

Of course the greatest actor to appear on Miami Vice was Mr. Phil Collins.
The Miami Vice movie from 2006 is a really strange film. I love Michael Mann but the movie has very little plot and it goes for a mood that just doesn’t connect in any way…also they forgot to make Crockett and Tubbs cool.

R alverex
Thats the new dinosaur I think in Jurrasic World.
You can call him R or you can call him J…
king alvaro. that’s what i’m seeing.
Long may he reign.
Worst tease
all in all, not a terrible game. errors didn’t cost anything and were understandable. erase the first 4 batters and basset did pretty good. (even with them he did pretty well)
the offense didn’t show up, and I wonder why canha sits at all now.
I wasn;t worried about the game at any point and it was tight enough to think there was a chance.
And I saw lynn
Forgot it was a 6:30 start tonight.
Lew looks like he’s been in a tanning booth.
