FLOATING STADIUM
Oh! There’s a A’s game on! I think I’ll watch it.
Does Chef Rodney pay Fosse in Dibs and sliders for every time he’s mentioned on air?
HBP machine!
“sphygmomanometer” is kind of an unwieldy nickname.
I thought that was what they used to count how many people visit the art museum on 3rd Street.
At least there’s no “oo” sound.
That’s one of my favorite words in the whole world.
But it would work if we called him “Sphyggy.”
Heh – try explaining that one to Hudler.
Pattersons man Left Field for both teams. At least ours bats 9th.
Gross whacked Patterson on the head as Patterson was catching the ball, probably in a bid to win the “shitty part-time platoon outfielder” spot.
Gross has caught fire!
This guy just walked in and claimed to be my husband. He looks kind of familiar, so I think I’ll let him take me out to dinner, now that I’m done with my finals.
“And stay out of the Woolworth’s!”
I’m glad that Ken doesn’t just leave the booth during Vince’s innings, because otherwise I’d have no idea what just happened (FC 3-6, one run scored on Chad Sexington’s throwing error, batter/runner to third).
Shit, what happened to Braden?
Gameday only for me, too. Update?
They’ve been talking about “he doesn’t look right, Geren/Young look concerned,” non-specifically, for a few innings. Geren madde an earlier mound visit (not Young) and they had the pen working pretty early. So I’m guessing residual flu-like stuff. But no official word.
Stiglich tweets no info until after the game.
AN gamethread speculates foot, the slicey-nervey one. Say Korach wondered about it. Which I missed while in rapt fascination with The Arcata Eye Police Blotter.
So much secrecy, though?
Yeah, very mysterioso, team takes time to make statement saying they’ll make statement after the game.
Heck, maybe he was traded. Sell high and all that …
Maybe he was contracted.
Maybe A-Rod put out a contract on him. And/or his grandmother.
The 29
That doesn’t seem good.
If the A’s can’t score any runs off the O’s bullpen…
… we will know they are who we thought they are.
Dig the rare monkeyball football reference.
He’s a man. He’s 40.
That’s a football reference?
Yes
Korach: Word from the A’s clubhouse is that Braden left the ballgame on a “Manager’s Decision.” Korach goes on to speculate that this means nothing is wrong with Braden physically.
Meanwhile, Steve Sayles unwraps one of the team’s surprisingly large supply of straightjackets.
Save one for me.
He’s a Hezbollah spy.
He’s allowed to make those?
I hope his grandma is ok.
2 run triple for WFB in an 11-pitch ab against Harden.
…and Kendall bunts him home!
Bloomquist chases Harden with a two-run triple.
“The existing ankle sprain that was causing him pain; should be OK for next start.” Um…
So, whatever the truth is, whether it’s actually the ankle, some other injury, or some blowup between Geren/Young/Suzuki or some other teammate and Braden, when Braden makes his next start in Detroit on Sunday they can claim that the “ankle sprain” which he has supposedly pitched with for two previous starts has fully healed during the road trip and he’s back to 100%.
The “manager’s decision” announcement does not smell right at all. More likely, it took them a few innings to concoct a story which everybody could agree upon.
Aw, I suppose I’m being too mistrustful. I should accept without question all information provided by the A’s regarding injuries.
no you should not. they are saying that the problem is an “ankle injury” that was previously undisclosed, pitched on twice, once where Braden came out and gave the IV excuse for the second time in a month.
Nope, not buying.
Giants now half way to the record for consecutive scoreless innings (48) held jointly by the 1968 Cubs and 1906 A’s.
And Renteria blew it. They could have been contenders …
Also got hurt, too. Something delicious about the sequence of futility.
