    Damnit, I tuned in late, what kind of reception did Giambi get?

  2. Poppy Apr 21,2009 4:20 pm

    Do we know when they’re going to play yesterday’s game?

  3. salb918 Apr 21,2009 4:24 pm

    MLB.tv isn’t working for me. Anybody else?

  4. salb918 Apr 21,2009 4:26 pm

      Better choice. Nicer weather, better school. Closer to A’s. I should’ve chosen San Jose Quiksigns.

    The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire.

    YES PLEEZ TEL ME WHUT THE NY PAPERS ARE TOKING ABOWT

  7. mikeA Apr 21,2009 4:37 pm

    Geren is officially a shitty manager. fuck him.

  8. Poppy Apr 21,2009 4:39 pm

    I just edited a classmate’s short research paper and my eyes are bleeding. I tried to be very conservative, went after fundamentals only, but there were only 14 sentences that didn’t need repair.

    Why is this person an English major? How does someone whose writing sucks get to be a college senior without knowing that his writing sucks?

      I do wish tonight had been declared “Reuben Sandwich Night.”

  9. Poppy Apr 21,2009 4:40 pm

    Who the hell is wearing Mark Ellis’ uniform lately?!

    There’s one, xbox.

    • Razr Apr 21,2009 6:40 pm || Up

      I know, they’ve all slunk back to ** lol

  11. monkeyball Apr 21,2009 4:45 pm

    Does OEE have any swings-and-misses this year?

  12. oblique Apr 21,2009 4:46 pm

    Oh, the humanity…

  13. monkeyball Apr 21,2009 4:49 pm

    snack time

  14. green star oakland Apr 21,2009 4:50 pm

    Can Travis pitch?

  15. whiteshoes40 Apr 21,2009 4:51 pm

    Whoa, I didn’t know we were allowed to get XBH(s).

  16. oblique Apr 21,2009 4:56 pm

    This is fucking horrible.

  17. Poppy Apr 21,2009 4:57 pm

    What the…

    ?!?!

    Was that incredibly stupid baserunning, or am I just being hindered by the fact that I’ve never played baseball?

  18. xbhaskarx Apr 21,2009 4:58 pm

    then: NYS = GAB
    A’s fail to score with runners at the corners and no outs
    now: NYS = PETCO

  19. whiteshoes40 Apr 21,2009 5:06 pm

    Oh noes. Giese again? Way too soon.

  20. Razr Apr 21,2009 5:14 pm

    I just had a quick look at the game thread at ** and those guys are super-negative. They are living and dying with each PA. Seems a bit much but then again I’m on the other side of the world not watching.

  21. mikeA Apr 21,2009 5:19 pm

    3 this inning, 8 in the 7th.

    • Razr Apr 21,2009 7:04 pm || Up

      Like one of those wrecks on the side of the highway. Everyone’s gotta take a peek and slows down to do it. lol

    • Leopold Bloom Apr 21,2009 7:25 pm || Up

      I cannot go on. I must go on.

      {hangs self from dilapidated backstop}

  22. whiteshoes40 Apr 21,2009 5:21 pm

    Bases loaded, no outs

    ohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohplease

  23. FreeSeatUpgrade Apr 21,2009 5:21 pm

    This would have been a good time for Mark Ellis to show up.

    (edited)

    • Razr Apr 21,2009 7:42 pm || Up

      Don’t do it LB, it’s not worth it. Slowly remove the noose.

    • monkeyball Apr 21,2009 8:29 pm || Up

      I didn’t realize Fosse was that tall.

  24. xbhaskarx Apr 21,2009 5:22 pm

    1 run in 19 innings. If we get just one more, I don’t turn off the TV.

  25. mikeA Apr 21,2009 5:23 pm

    I read “Dave Eiland” as “Dana Eveland”

  26. mikeA Apr 21,2009 5:24 pm

    That is a horrible call.

  27. mikeA Apr 21,2009 5:25 pm

    unbelievable.

  28. whiteshoes40 Apr 21,2009 5:25 pm

    This is… special.

    We scored! No, just kidding, you suck too much. Go back.

  29. oblique Apr 21,2009 5:25 pm

    Wow, Korach and Cotroneo are livid.

  30. Razr Apr 21,2009 5:27 pm

    nice, halfway there.

  31. mikeA Apr 21,2009 5:28 pm

    A’s might be up 2-1 right now if Geren hadn’t brought the if in.

  32. mikeA Apr 21,2009 5:30 pm

    I think the “runners return to their original base” rule is really stupid.

  33. xbhaskarx Apr 21,2009 5:34 pm

    Eveland suddenly showing signs of life.

  34. Razr Apr 21,2009 5:36 pm

    but he’s already thrown like 90 pitches so he’s definitely done after 5 innings.

  35. Razr Apr 21,2009 5:41 pm

    Looks like Eveland will done after 4

  36. xbhaskar Apr 21,2009 5:41 pm

    Wow, three strikeouts for Zombie Eveland.

  37. Poppy Apr 21,2009 5:55 pm

    Write a closing paragraph to the writer in which you comment on the document as a whole. Be sure to tell the writer what he or she has done well in addition to noting problems.

    “Your paper was formatted correctly, and… uh… you held the door for me a few days ago instead of letting it shut on my face… you have a nice smile… you laugh at my jokes…”

  38. whiteshoes40 Apr 21,2009 5:56 pm

    I can haz home run? edit: BY THE A’S DUH

  39. monkeyball Apr 21,2009 5:57 pm

    Bailey: almost 1/4 of the way there

  40. FreeSeatUpgrade Apr 21,2009 6:12 pm

    I sure do love beer kraut. Good beer kraut, swill beer kraut. Cold beer kraut. Hell, in my younger days when I’d go on long backcountry trips, we’d leave a six pack in the boiling hot truck so we’d have beer kraut available the instant we got out of the woods. Hot Budweiser Fremont [heh heh heh] after two weeks with no beer kraut? Awesome.

  41. Razr Apr 21,2009 6:32 pm

    where haz everybody gone?

  42. monkeyball Apr 21,2009 6:36 pm

    I guess this Yankees reliever was the origin of the Bruneyists.

  43. whiteshoes40 Apr 21,2009 6:39 pm

    oOoooOooOoo. Another run!

  44. Razr Apr 21,2009 6:40 pm

    The Outman is in

  45. Razr Apr 21,2009 6:43 pm

    get an out man

  46. Poppy Apr 21,2009 6:45 pm

    Oh, Jerome.

  47. whiteshoes40 Apr 21,2009 6:45 pm

    Dang you, Jerome Williams! Stop pretending to be our second baseman!

  48. Razr Apr 21,2009 6:48 pm

    Aw come on

  49. Razr Apr 21,2009 6:49 pm

    One more out to go

  50. Poppy Apr 21,2009 6:53 pm

    Oh, THERE’S Travis!

  51. whiteshoes40 Apr 21,2009 6:54 pm

    Did I just see Travis in the on-deck circle?! Egads!

  52. Razr Apr 21,2009 6:54 pm

    that didn’t look like a strike on gameday

  53. Razr Apr 21,2009 6:55 pm

    Come on Buck

  54. Poppy Apr 21,2009 6:55 pm

    DAMMIT, KURT! Run him over!

  55. whiteshoes40 Apr 21,2009 6:55 pm

    Oh, Trav. Really? First pitch?

  56. Razr Apr 21,2009 6:55 pm

    That was fast

  57. whiteshoes40 Apr 21,2009 6:58 pm

    Oh, goodness. That was possibly the most appropriate way to end this game.

  58. Poppy Apr 21,2009 6:58 pm

    Geez, Crosby could have done that.

  59. Razr Apr 21,2009 6:58 pm

    The fat lady has sung

  60. oblique Apr 21,2009 6:59 pm

    Let’s Go Sharks!
