Chicken John postponed today’s Barf Fest in Dolores Park, a good thing because that sort of energy is best saved for viewing the A’s “offense” in tonight’s game at Safeco Field. It’s the early 6:10 Saturday start with portsider Jason Vargas facing tonight’s designated victim, Trevor Cahill.
#Athletics at #Mariners: Crisp cf, Barton 1b, Jackson rf, Willingham lf, Matsui dh, Suzuki c, Ellis 2b, Kouzmanoff 3b, Pennington ss

In answer to your questions about the lineup:
It sounds as if Geren is trying to give Kouzmanoff regular ABs to try to work his way out of funk. #Athletics

Well, isn’t that considerate of him.
Geren considered getting Pennington night off, starting LaRoche, but decided on Pennington with Cahill (groundball P) starting. #Athletics

It’s between watching this game and a Saturday night visit to the Bunny Ranch…
Barffest was stupid anyway because street carts are good (unless I’m missing something)
What I liked about that SF Weekly link was the comment from Chicken John himself at the bottom. “You’re making fun of Barf Fest but you’re ignoring the issue I’m trying to raise.” Duh.

Between it being Saturday night of a holiday weekend and the team’s recent scintillating play I figured it was me or nobody.
JP just dropped off for a late nap

Oh no, did he do something disscusting?
We’re getting killed by Adam Kennedy and Jack Wilson
A run!
I’m glad Coco was pissed on that play.
Uh …
Yeah, the A’s wind up scoring exactly as many runs as they would have if Coco had been thrown out.
But we got to
the pitcherWillingham.Well, that’s more like it.
Holy Cow! And none of this happens if Gutierrez is in CF because Kz’s ball shoulda been caught.
They’re getting killed by Cliff Pennington
Today’s moment of Lilucidation, at the playground:
Lily, excitedly: “Daddy, daddy, I can swing backwards on the monkey bars”
Me: “You mean the yeknom bars?”
Pause
Lily: “No, the yeknom rabs, silly”.
The birthers are going to be all over her after she wins the 2056 election.
LOL
Here’s what I’ll tell Mia.
“You can be anything you want in this life. Except President, because you were born on a boat in Japan. Sorry, but rules are rules.”
You mean you didn’t plan ahead and put a birth announcement in some US newspaper?
(“also, you’re a girl, and girls can’t be president”)
You’ve got a good one.
Look out for the flying pigs.
Who are these hitters, and what have they done with the A’s?
Is it bad that when this happens I don’t get happy, I start worrying that we’ve used up tomorrow’s runs?
Nope – it’s bitter experience.
Oh good, I’m not the only one.
Ha ha charade you are.
Hey you, white shoes.
(The tweet amused me.)
Me too.
Whoa…nine runs? They haven’t scored nine runs this week!
Not Cahill’s greatest performance but he’s 3-0 for the season.
Let’s try this again.
That’s just scary.
Yeah, I’m creeped out almost to the point that I hope the A’s don’t win any more.
El Repollo Loco!
Nice.
Excellent.
