Christ, you people are lazy, etc.

Superb inning by Braden. It was a pleasure to watch. I like these “O’s” hats better than the ones with the bird.

A’s win 6-1.

    Good job by the Angels so far.

    Don’t blame me. I was actually working on one, and I even had a nice image to use as flair, but I couldn’t figure out how to get the picture in and then you posted yours. So, yeah. Maybe tomorrow.

        psha, right. I’m gonna post the game thread and then take a nap to be fresh for the concert. I hope to slide into my seat top of the 9th and get my groove on.

    Cust shows up cynical monkeys!

  4. lenscrafters Jun 5,2009 7:21 pm

    Custian. Absolutely Custian.

    Oooooooh- I didn’t even know Cust was in the lineup!

    These Stanford guys can’t pitch for crap.

    I commented a few months ago that I’m annoyed that we get only 6 against Baltimore and 10 vs. NY, Bos, and TB when we also only played Baltimore 6 times last year. Still annoyed.

    The Os might throw out some of our baserunners if they could come within 6 feet of their targets.

      70s and 80s unis are unfairly maligned. The worst era was the late 90s.

  9. lenscrafters Jun 5,2009 7:43 pm

    Huh. Wieters didn’t look like the top prospect in all of baseball there.

    • Leopold Bloom Jun 5,2009 7:53 pm || Up

      He looked like {gasp!} a crap rookie.

      • lenscrafters Jun 5,2009 7:56 pm || Up

        Yep, having problems with a major league changeup.

    Ho-lee crap.

      Best Cust HR so far. It had the arc of a pop up.

      • monkeyball Jun 5,2009 9:06 pm || Up

        I was reacting to the Holliday mammoth blast, but, yeah, the replay of the Cust looked awesome.

        Cust’s haircut, on the other hand … he looks like a chorus member in the road company of CLOCKWORK ORANGE: THE MUSICAL.

          I rather like it.

          • mikeA Jun 5,2009 9:12 pm || Up

            The old haircut was appealingly sleazy.

        • andeux Jun 5,2009 9:14 pm || Up

          It’s horrorshow.

          that would be fun.

          someone should do a CO Musical.

          Maybe WE should do it.

          When he left the box I was thinking “RUN Dammit!” and then they showed where it the mountain.

          Okay Matt, don’t risk a hammie.

    Another win. Ho hum.

    Is this team finally turning the corner? Has Giambi regained his stroke? Is Holliday living up to his All-Star level of hype? Are the Oakland pitchers finally getting it together?

    For the answers to all your burning questions and more, tune in tonight at 7 on FK (err, not, maybe, as long as someone else is dong it).:)

    My favorite part of that game, after the Cust & Holliday HRs: Braden getting all pissed off after giving up the Scott HR on that fat lollipop curve.
