Thank you so much for the Vajrayogini mantra you passed on to me. She tells me she likes to hear it and I know that when I repeat it, it is a great bulwark against fear and panic, even in really scary places like inescapable bondage positions and the supermarket.

The Yankees are 1 of only 3 teams I can think of that I would hate no matter how good or bad they are. They could go 40-122 and I would hate them just as much.
I didn’t mind the Yankees for a long time. From the A’s arrival in Oakland until the early 1990’s the A’s were usually as good or better than they were, obviously excepting the end of the Finley era. The Yankees had more years of mediocrity to crappiness in that span than the A’s did.
Starting in the mid 1990’s it became a Fox/ESPN world and suddenly we were told the Yankees were in the small group of MLB teams that played Important Games worth watching. So yeah, from that time on and into the future they’re intolerable.
I really dislike the Marlins, White Sox, and Angels.
Texas is the opponent I most admire.

It must have been during one of the many moments when Yankee fans were walking in front of me. There are not so many of them, but all the ones in my section have terrible baseball etiquette. Or possibly diarrhea.

I also “can’t stand” being tickled. That’s why I have my wife bind me first. It makes me freak out and cry and it’s kind of like a living hell while going through it.

One concern admist the Reddickmania: Is it just me, or is Reddick’s swing getting loopier by the day as he keeps going for the long ball. It’s been working well enough so far, but I see a Suzuki-like slump of popups coming on.

I think FSU specifically referred to the 10-game losing streak. I said I called 68-94 at the start of the season and it looks like they’re still headed there, because .210/.287/.333 just can’t keep them in the .500 area any longer than it has, unless Cespedes and Ramirez have a huge impact on this offense.

I think Bloom was referring to dumb things in general. But Bloom is too bloomable to indict. But not so bloomable to indick. That’s just not happening… without enough alcohol… and then some more.

Did anybody else watch the meeting of the minds among Kuiper, Cotroneo, Fosse and Korach during the postgame? They were all crammed into the TV booth. Fosse may as well have been on Cotroneo’s lap.

Like they do for the Giants, but with out the spacious booth those guys have. It was amusing. I kind of liked it, actually. Cotroneo and Fosse are both much better when they are just bullshitting rather than trying to describe game action.
Apparently they are going to do it only on Fridays.
Proposal: Prior to general tickets going on sale for games against the Yankees, Red Sox, Giants and Angels, offer free or cheap entrance to Raiders season ticket holders for those games.
my common-law nephew in-law had a (high school) career game yesterday going 3 for 4 with a clutch 2-run double and then stealing home in the CIF quarterfinals for whatever his division is. (i don’t know if it happened in that order. the paper isn’t too clear and my sister is too excited to explain it to me right.) i should buddy up to him now in case he eventually makes it to the bigs.

The crowd has filled in pretty well now. Not sold out but I would guess 28k or more…can’t see value deck.
Yankee fans, or ours?
70% A’s, I’d say, but of course the Yankee fans have become more obnoxious recently.
This is why I can’t go there.
Say, do any of you guys have an ugly, worn-out deck? Kara would like you to send her a photo of it.
(double sigh)

I really dislike the Marlins, White Sox, and Angels.
Texas is the opponent I most admire.
That is in addition the the Yankees, of course.
ONly the Angels for me. Mostly because I grew up in Orange County, though

I also “can’t stand” being tickled. That’s why I have my wife bind me first. It makes me freak out and cry and it’s kind of like a living hell while going through it. Afterwards, though, I feel FKing sublime. It’s like surviving something one had no reasonable expectation of surviving. Very empowering…
I prefer to just not be tickled. But that’s just me.
There’s not any part of mind that draws you to being tickled, like a moth to flame?
Nope.
The last time I ate mushrooms, the voice in my head said that I am a moth and I cannot touch the flame until after all of the people I love and care about in this life have passed on. I love and care about a LOT of people on this planet, so I guess I’m doomed to live to be very very old.
Jeez, Reddick must really hate playing for the A’s. Why else would he be hitting like a man who wants to get traded?
FK U CANO!
WOOOHOOO!
Sit down TEX!
One concern admist the Reddickmania: Is it just me, or is Reddick’s swing getting loopier by the day as he keeps going for the long ball. It’s been working well enough so far, but I see a Suzuki-like slump of popups coming on.
Am I worried over nothing?
PHIL PLANTIER!
There’s not a lot else we have that’s good enough to worry about it getting bad.
And yeah, slightly loopier.
Great play by Smith, fooling Teixeira into thinking he could get a triple on a missed dive. Yeah.
I know Theth jutht threw out Texeira out at third, but wouldn’t it be nithe to have a
thirdbathemanLFer with thome range?Thome never had the range to play 3rd.
Er – LF (fixed)
And Ross hasn’t retired anybody this inning – he’s given up 8 bases to three batters.
Remember when pitching was this team’s strength? Now Ross sucks, and when you have to run Godfrey out there, you know you’re lacking depth.
FK – make that 12 bases to four batters.
I’m gonna go ahead and take the blame. Ross broke at the one and only game I attended last year.
I think Bob just noticed too.
Well, the problem is really that we always use our depth.
SO a rotation of ANderson, McCarthy, Colon, Braden, Milone?
I can see an 85 win team in there.
With Cespedes and Reddick hitting 40 HRs each, Buck and Barton not inexplicably shitting the bed after proving they could play, Suzuki hitting like a league-average player, etc. etc.
That might be an 88 win team.
with them 101 every year!
Oh, Chavy is playing for… them? Yeah, I don’t think I can watch this game.
It’s hard. :(
TWSS
Are the broadcasters talking about the two guys on Mt Davis? We think they are securing errant tarps, but hard to be sure.
I haven’t heard, but I am cleaning and playing with the kids
I recommend cleaning the kids AFTER playing with them, rather than during.
you’re like the anti mary poppins.
Am I the only person on Earth who doesn’t get the appeal of all that UFC/MMA-type stuff?
Nope.
In that case, I must be the only person in SC who doesn’t get it.
yes
I guess that doesn’t come as a surprise.
Nope.
People here are weird.
Ooh, I hope you’re conversant in NASCAR.
Not anymore. Oddly, I was a NASCAR fan until Dale Earnhardt died. I kinda lost interest after that.
Not in the least.
no
Never followed the MMA-type stuff, but I do like boxing.
I don’t mind boxing, although I wouldn’t call myself a fan.
I have never been interested in it.
My BFF at work is a tiny blond. 5’0″, 100lbs. She LOVES MMA. Like, throws watch parties. It’s not bad.
To you, it’s probably fun to think about what sorts of treatments these guys will need afterward.
I DO love sutures.
See? It’s just drumming up business, from your POV.
Speaking of work…. I’m out of here. I’m making breakfast for everyone tomorrow morning. Gotta get up early. Followed by a 16 with Dr. Asshole.
Have fun and bring back more stuff I shouldn’t google!
Well so far this sucks about as much as I feared it would
That’s ok. I finally saw “The Avengers” today.
Red Sox and Giants lost, Angels losing.
orioles and nationals won.
Yankees too.
Stupid Gameday is acting up again. It claims that Barton just doubled.
Barton did double, Vince thought he should have homered because barton plays first
Can’t argue with that reasoning. Mainly because it makes no sense.
Oh, and puhleeze, with the Barton double. Next you’re gonna tell me that Donaldson really singled right before that.
would you believe a pennington groundout that did not score barton from third?
Yes, Maxwell. I would.
Well, that was three bullshit strike calls in a row.
i guess i should get dressed now.
Please don’t. ;)
i think it would be too cold without clothes tonight.
I’ll keep ya warm. I have a brand new bottle of Patron with your name on it.
that sounds like the last thing i need right now. ;) snuggling is acceptable, though.
Ok, I can do that too.
Then stay home and play with your kitty instead.
Always a good idea.
but i want to see the damn fireworks.
0_o
Why?
fireworks!!!
There’d prolly be more fireworks if you stayed nekkid.
heh.
Yeah, your man is kinda awesome. May I pencil him in for marriage three lifetimes from now on some virtual reality server on the Moon?
most definitely. ♥
Woohoo!
I’m thinking you and Winston Churchill can be our children, and rochambeau for gender in the green room pre-birth!
Not the green ‘n’ gold room?
I forgot to mention that we’re going to live in Philadelphia in the early 1900’s, so it’ll be a blue and white room on that front.
What do we want?
TIME TRAVEL!
When do we want it?
IT’S IRRELEVANT!
I love Takei.
I’m pretty convinced that reincarnation runs on non-linear time variables. I’m not even gonna try to convince anybody else, though.
That would be cool. Unless I end up being reborn as my dad.
I don’t see that as being very likely. I’m a lot more evolved than my dad, and I’m guessing the same is true of you.
I hope so. But I suspect the Universe’s sense of humor tends toward the “Let’s make a guy spend a lifetime sleeping with his mom” type of gag.
Wait until after you’re your dad when you become your grandpa.
Or even worse, my grandma. One of them had 11 kids, the other had 9.
Hmm… I’ve always believed that certain connections run deep and maybe certain attachments run for multiple lives in a multifaceted way… mom/child in one life… married in another… sisters in a third… brothers in a fourth…
So what you’re saying is that I may already be a motherFKer?
That’s right. Just need to walk down to the end of Liberty Ave. :)
For the love of all that is Green and Gold, START TALKING ABOUT THE FKING YANKEES. Especially don’t quote that asshole Sterling.
But how can you ever talk about baseball without discussing the Yankees? I mean, I guess you could just talk about the Red Sox instead…
or the rangers
That’s pretty much all of the baseball world right there.
Haha – Fosse just said, in effect, that Ozzie Guillen is a FKing idiot for getting rid of Swisher after one season (although he should all call out Kenny Williams for the same reason).
Ozzwife doesn’t want to see “Prometheus.” Is this grounds for divorce?
No, just grounds for a non-trial separation long enough for you to see it without her.
So, like, a few hours?
Yup.
I’m gonna live it up that day. Maybe hit up 5 Guys.
BOOM
Tena Desae is now on my list.
Brinner!
Sleep well my darlings!
Good night! ♥
okay, hope to see some of you there. i heard that there will be hot chocolate. ;)
How ’bout a hot toddy for that hot body?
(i’m bringing bailey’s!)
see you later!!!
G’night!
Its maddening how vince always says “best in the leage at defense, or worst in the league in defense, but I am never sure what that means.
Just now he said the rays have the worst defense in the league, WHich they don’t.
Look, if you’re going to listen to Vince and actually think about what he says, there’s not much he can do for you.
It’s maddening
howthat vince talks.fixed!
I swear… when the quantity of TMI I self-censor is larger than the quantity of non-TMI I actually post, I’m going to have to consider taking a vow of silence.
Or just let it out.
Why self-censor? I’m tempted to tell y’all about every fart, nose-pick, and instance of self-gratification I experience.
I’m an odd duck.
However, I really do care for you folks and this community at large. I think the best balance in the long run is that I should make use of the spoiler font for things that the casual reader might not need to intake, but that I trust to convey to anyone in the community who actually wants to read it.
If they can’t take it, they don’t belong here.
That’s very sweet and kinda badass.
I agree 86%.
I agree about 97%. I get the strange feeling that only Bloom would appreciate stories about my bowel movements. And even then, just as a friend carrying out an obligation.
But nobody would mind. I have no claim on FK whatsoever, but I would prefer a site where everyone gets to say whatever they want rather than a site where everyone gets to read what they want.
For longer pieces you could also write dedicated posts with fair warning before the jump, and give people the choice of if and when they read.
That is a good piece of advice and much appreciated.
Anything to encourage your writing.
Thank you so much!
I do like sharing with you fine folks…
Judging strictly by what Gameday says, it looks to me like this ump was pulling ball and strike calls out of
a hathis sphincty.fixed
Same thing, if you assume he’s an asshat.
was it gonealookin who feared we were at the start of a 10 game losing streak?
I can feel that vibe heavily in my stomach, too.
I will do what I can to stop it, which isn’t much. We need Inge and Cespedes back.
I think FSU specifically referred to the 10-game losing streak. I said I called 68-94 at the start of the season and it looks like they’re still headed there, because .210/.287/.333 just can’t keep them in the .500 area any longer than it has, unless Cespedes and Ramirez have a huge impact on this offense.
that and having Ross and Godfrey making 2 out of every 5 starts.
(triple sigh)
Vince Cotroneo’s head is very shiny and begs for a tattoo of a Hawaiian sunset, complete with dancing hula girl.
Are you sure it’s not begging for the Texas Rangers’ logo?
No. No I’m not.
Now I shall sleep, and tomorrow I shall eat banh mi and work. Good night!
Goodnight to you!
Going into tonight Ivan Nova had the third worst WHIP among qualified starters at 1.653.
So with six hits and a walk in seven innings, the A’s came up four and a half not-outs short of expectation.
Maybe, but DINGERZ
My doctor said I should only have two beers a week. I’m on my fifth of the night, but mostly for old times’ sakes. I’m seriously considering quitting drinking, and/or designating 3-4 special days a year to get drunk, and then to teetotal in between.
Even one beer curtails my ability to effectively meditate; as does overeating, especially of meat.
As for my addiction to Chile-lime Cheetohs, maybe I can suck on a cayenne pepper and call it a cock.
I miss Bed.
I’m glad that he has a life and a beautiful summer ahead of him, but it certainly feels like the Greek Chorus for the play that is FK is missing its’ first chair baritone.
I miss Monkey AND Nico too. I have to be pretty drunk to say it, but it’s true.
They both Lewised my Martin a metric FKton of times, and there’s something to be said about that.
I’m obviously in something of a forgiving mood, can y’all tell?
We all do dumb shit in our lives, and I indict myself twice before I indict anyone else once.
what about me, then?
My public answer is that you’re still here, so there’s no need to miss you.
My private answer is that you should check your email in about 15 minutes.
I think Bloom was referring to dumb things in general. But Bloom is too bloomable to indict. But not so bloomable to indick. That’s just not happening… without enough alcohol… and then some more.
I miss one of those two. And it ain’t the cellular banana freak.
Hi ya.
Hi Mr. LB sir.
Good evening to you.
Rest assured that you sound like you, no matter what anybody else may say.
Yes, I agree that the deck may be stacked… but if you can enlighten the dealer and maybe get her to doctor the cards a little… maybe you can get the deck stacked the other way and foil the greedheads.
Someday it would be highly appropriate for a digital meditative sub-religion to be completely based around 70’s Eastern European prog rock. However, mere headphones would not be enough to convey all the awesomeness. Implants will be necessary.
Just for that, you get this:

ENJOY!!!
Woohoo! Thank you very much!
is anyone awake?
I know its 20 minutes later, but yes.
i can’t sleep.
I could, but Im trying to sober up first.
what did you do tonight?
Work, then drove to Rohnert Park to get an old claw foot tub to turn into a pond for the ducks, and then Big Lebowski night at the bowling alley.
and you?
made dinner then met up with wac and TFR and EM and gigs and chickie to watch the fireworks. i’m wide awake right now, but my eyes hurt.
Fireworks? Where?
I hear that Sunday there’s going to be a crazy display on the GG bridge for the 75th anniversary.
after the game. we drove over at the 9th.
cool.
too bad the game was total suck.
And why do your eyes hurt?
probably because i never sleep? :(
I do notice that my eyes don’t feel good when I am seriously tired.
and i can’t look too sketchy to meet josh reddick tomorrow/today ;)
hi.
Good morning. I feel like shit, and I definitely didn’t want to get out of bed.
I was in that boat too until strong cannabis and coffee took care of that noise.
did you have to?
Yeah, kids awake, wife working. boo.
me too but bhang over will recede to more getting fucked up and electro dancing
Did anybody else watch the meeting of the minds among Kuiper, Cotroneo, Fosse and Korach during the postgame? They were all crammed into the TV booth. Fosse may as well have been on Cotroneo’s lap.
I did, but with the sound off. Vince Cotroneo’s head was very shiny. He probably waxed it pregame.
like they do for the giants games? weird.
I don’t want vince’s baseball opinion on anything. Maybe I won’t change my cable package
Like they do for the Giants, but with out the spacious booth those guys have. It was amusing. I kind of liked it, actually. Cotroneo and Fosse are both much better when they are just bullshitting rather than trying to describe game action.
Apparently they are going to do it only on Fridays.
Proposal: Prior to general tickets going on sale for games against the Yankees, Red Sox, Giants and Angels, offer free or cheap entrance to Raiders season ticket holders for those games.

To what end?
Ultraviolence?
i see in the headlines this morning that the A’s just will not shrink from their yearly duty of helping the yankees find their winning shape.
my common-law nephew in-law had a (high school) career game yesterday going 3 for 4 with a clutch 2-run double and then stealing home in the CIF quarterfinals for whatever his division is. (i don’t know if it happened in that order. the paper isn’t too clear and my sister is too excited to explain it to me right.) i should buddy up to him now in case he eventually makes it to the bigs.
I’ve got a cousin in law who’s likely going to go far. He’s been playing pretty much year-round since he was 7 or 8. I don’t see him much, but when I do, I encourage him to take lots of Spanish classes and actually try in them, and to keep his bases covered for a possible career in coaching when his playing days are up.
tell him to fix his pants
i was going to tell my sister that!
Why? We aren’t selling jeans here.
No, but if we ever end up selling knickers, dude’s gonna have to fix his pants.
