I say let’s let Chris Carter play 50 games all in a row and then make a judgment about if he’s worth letting play another one.
Every level he’s taken a long time to figure it out, why not assume the MLB level is no different. Put him in there, let him swing and make the adjustments… it’s not like we are competing to win the FK’ing World Series this season.
Never suck on a Blow Pop with the microphone open.
Moss is 28 and up and down and team to team for a reason… a week of awesome and then a long period of failure to adjust to what the other guys are doing to stem the tide of awesome.

We’ve got a new babysitter coming over tonight, and my son decided to where his Jemile Weeks t-shirt “so he’ll know I’m an A’s fan.” I’m doing something right.
It’s funny because Pennington probably couldn’t have caught Gentry’s liner (Hicks has a 4 inch advantage over Penny) but Pennington probably would’ve made the play on that grounder. Such is baseball.
I know, let’s give the most potent offense in baseball in the most hitting-friendly park in the league tons of extra outs every game! What a marvelous idea!!!!
Never suck on a Blow Pop with the microphone open.
I thought he hung in well that AB. Tatayama hides it very well vs. righties and Carter worked it full from down 0-2. Tough foul on the 70 mph change up too… last 2 times up from AAA he might have swung and missed that pitch.

David Beckham has a) visible panty line; b) a douchey haircut; c) an ultra-douchey neck tattoo; d) neon pink shoes. On the plus side, he looked at me and winked. Hawt.

My final observation from the San Jose-LA game: both team’s cheering sections use the chant that I’ve most recently heard at Occupy events “this-is-what-dem-o-cra-cy-looks like”: LA’s was “we-all-cheer, we-all-cheer-for-L-A” and the San Jose Ultras countered with “we-don’t-give-a-fuck-a-bout-L-A”.
All right, AV, wherever you are. In full mindfulness of this comment of yours, I have awakened and pulled an azzurro shirt out of the drawer, ready to be down with my old country peeps.
"Kraut will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no kraut."
i’m here. not sure what color shirt i’m wearing yet. i’m 1/4 spanish, 3/4 italian, but i don’t think bloodline is the deciding factor. normally i’d root for spain, but this time around i’ve been feeling insulted by the spanish lack of passion and a tactic of boredom where the ball enters the midfield and you’re supposed to watch it travel a labyrinth of tight triangles, not expecting it to come out of either end for 15 minutes at a stretch. and i usually root against italy but they have wowed me just enough that besides their diving foibles and (admittedly waning) negative-soccer tendencies. i’m dubbing this game post-catenaccio meets neo-laberinto. i’m going to let the play itself dictate which country i push for, so i’m going topless for now (which is to say, i’m hoping for a game so exciting my nipples would chafe if i was wearing anything at all).
*i’m* AV. alex vause. put this loon in psych before she hurts someone.
i like method. as long as it’s somewhat vertical and can change tempo all of a sudden. which is what’s going on, so i’m liking spain. but will they now revert to their 1-0 tactic of molassesing the game?
*i’m* AV. alex vause. put this loon in psych before she hurts someone.
i was JUST about to write that it didn’t seem like they were killing it yet because when they got the ball around the center circle they didn’t automatically wait for the whole team to catch up or send the ball back, but were actually going forward with a little speed even if outnumbered.
*i’m* AV. alex vause. put this loon in psych before she hurts someone.
Thanks to stuffed fan votes, Pablo Sandoval (.848 OPS, 1.1 WAR, deemed “too fat” by SFG) is starting over David Wright (1.013 OPS, 4.5 WAR). And LMFAO at Belt & Crawford finishing second in NL ballots.
I’d rather have an All-Cool game than an all-star game. McCarthy, Braden, and Curtis Granderson choose the AL squad. RA Dickey chooses the NL squad.

Very cute, FSU.
This lineup seems non-horrible. I wonder if I’m just getting used to the crappiness.
I’m actually feeling ok about this core. Reddick/Cespedes/Weeks is a nice start. And some of these rookie pitchers are looking quite good.
It still feels weird.
Sunburn.
7am till now at the baseball fields with the kids.
Thanks, and go As.
I recommend beer.
Auspicious beginning for Tomaso.
With a name like Tomaso Anthony Milone, he really oughtta draw out the last vowel, like Mee-low-nay.
That’s how I say it when I’m talking to myself.
me too.
To-mah-soh An-to-ney Muh-low-nay.
Rollo Tomasi.
Nobody tell Milone he’s not pitching at home
Ooh, looking sharp, Tommy Milone.
It. Is. On.
WHAT’S UP CHRIS CARTER
Thanks, and go As.
It’s because he’s becoming more intense, less of a nice guy.
/Chris Townsend
(masturbation wrist shake gesture)
Fuck yeah Carter!
Hard to argue with driving a low/away pitch like that.
Hardly even looked like much of a swing on it, either.
The double either
Effortless.
Even my grandma can hit a HR in Texas.
Is she willing to play for the A’s though?
Not enough fancy knitting nooks in the Coliseum
If you’re gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band.

If only it weren’t costing at-bats of a Brandon.
Moss is 28 and up and down and team to team for a reason… a week of awesome and then a long period of failure to adjust to what the other guys are doing to stem the tide of awesome.
Because he isn’t a Brandon.
We’ve got a system going on.
What if Carter changes his name to Brandon Trogdor Christopher Carter, would that work?
That would be acceptable.
vernon brandon christopher carter
this.
Well, yeah — but for the fact that, despite a .500 BA and SLG at 2.000, his FKg BABIP is .000000.
And we can’t have THAT.
Not anymore
It is so hot.
It is.
Thanks, and go As.
I could only imagine the smell coming from the player’s groins.
you me and Nobody should hold a Gay film festival someday.
Not a bad pitch at all to Beltre.
Yeah, my grandma could hit it out to RF there with a rolling pin, and she’s dead since 1994.
Agreed. Missed a low and away target lower and awayer.
If I’m ever in a bar fight, I want Gomes and Braden to have my back.
Yeah, both those guys are breaking bottles into jagged shivs as soon as shit starts going down.
Korach making fun of the Texas fans for getting a “cheap thrill” on that Cruz flyout.
We’ve got a new babysitter coming over tonight, and my son decided to where his Jemile Weeks t-shirt “so he’ll know I’m an A’s fan.” I’m doing something right.
Er, “wear.”
Aw. Cute!
Love it.
It’s an important first step when meeting strangers.
I was only out of town for a week–who the hell is Hicks?
A new Brandon.
Carter is looking NICE so far.
A 4.000 OPS is quite acceptable.
2.667 for the season.
WHAT’S. UP. CHRIS. CARTER.
Thanks, and go As.
Stroke it, Chris Carter!
I wish I had f(il)k-ing ability. It’s a golden opportunity for someone. ChrisCarter ChrisCarter ChrisCarter AWSHIT ChrisCarter…
At this rate he’ll get his PAs
Gawd I hope so, my fantasy of a Rivercats lineup is coming to fruition.
Still the sky as far as I can tell.
Your cholesterol, fatty!
Actually, no. Was tested recently and it was good.
Dead man walking!
All he does is
catch touchdownshit for extra bases.Lets add on folks!
a lead.
there you go kurt
Where’s Norris….
No, Chris Carter will not be going HR-HR-2B all the time, not even close. But this sure beats a bunch of strikeouts right away.
he already has enough of those
shut down inning.
Drink
thank you ron washington
Huge, huge.
There you go Kurt.
indeed
“shut down inning”
drink
The game is on fox, you know, though that might cut into your drinking.
idon;/f know ehat yoer talksding =====ing abour
Ken says that the last time the a’s played a game where they lost by more than 1 was june 9
2 in a row?
Parker’s talents are apparently on the mound, and not with a mic.
Oh my god stop putting me to sleep, kid.
Damnit. Broke Kinsler’s bat and everything.
vince just said the a’s messed up the rundown because you can;t rub a guy to home plate.
I just rewond it. they did not do as ince thinks
Are you having another stroke?
computer is at an awkward angle. I can’t move, cat lap
Typo or what Vince said?
typo. run
Sounds like someone didn’t get a happy ending.
HICKS
Now brewing beer made with BRANDONHOPS.
heh
all for not
Oh give me a FKing break.
The power of short pants is undeniable
fucking hell.TexasIndeed.
All unearned.
Edited.
Perfect.
Of course its a blooper…
PLEASE come back against the bullpen.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WTF!!!!
Can we have a game w/out a meltdown inning, it hurts, esp. since we’ve been winning every game for most innings!
Guess not…
Inevitable.
Well that’s one to break the streak of one run losses.
So if we had a defense… F U Hicks…
It’s funny because Pennington probably couldn’t have caught Gentry’s liner (Hicks has a 4 inch advantage over Penny) but Pennington probably would’ve made the play on that grounder. Such is baseball.
Blame Inge then
This series is littered w/ 4-5 run Texas innings, ugh.
This century is littered with 4-5 run Texas innings.
I know, let’s give the most potent offense in baseball in the most hitting-friendly park in the league tons of extra outs every game! What a marvelous idea!!!!
Ya that’s rarely a sound strategy
I can’t see what could possibly go wrong.
I’m starting to believe in Vernon despite the K, that was a sweet slider fwiw, looks like a different player this year.
It was a tough PA
I thought he hung in well that AB. Tatayama hides it very well vs. righties and Carter worked it full from down 0-2. Tough foul on the 70 mph change up too… last 2 times up from AAA he might have swung and missed that pitch.
Agreed
What an irritating game.
Yeah I’m moving on, later all!
Don’t Abrandon us!
no wonder so many of us have aBrandonment issues.
The good news is, when the A’s get swept tomorrow, HOPEFULLY it’ll help lead to more PT for some of the young’uns.
The A’s are going to have a hard time coming through with a teAse tonight
does the first 4 innings count?
Not teAsey enough.
Good point. It was like having dessert before dinner. Bitter, horrible dinner.
OH SHIT, THEY GAVE OUR OFFENSE EXTRA OUTS.
BETTER NOT GIVE THIS A’S LINEUP EXTRA OUTS!!!
Beat you!
Evidently according to the guy on the FOX Sports broadcast, the A’s got Josh Reddick in the “Homer” Bailey trade with Boston.
Cool. Beane’s so good he traded another team’s player to a different team and got Reddick in return!
The last few years, I’ve found the A’s teams obnoxious because most of the team sucked, and they lost games they hella deserved to lose.
I find this team obnoxious because most of the players don’t actually suck that badly, and they keep losing games they hella deserve to win.
I’m not sure which feeling I dislike more.
I prefer having hope and then having it dashed.
you are a true A’s fan
Ynoa pitched an inning tonight and struck out Lewis Brinson. 0 runs, 1 BB. I’m focusing on the positive.
Ynoa pitched? That is a positive!
Once in a generation
talent!appearancefixed
With the kids at camp and the nurse working, I have the house to myself again tonight. So I started a project:
Don’t worry, I’ll clear the spots off the Cocos’ faces before they sprout hair.
They look like mindless cultists.
That scares the Brandon out of me.
I’m not sure he doesn’t need a hairy nose-wart in there somewhere.
now i wonder if easter island started because some prehistoric husband felt lonely.
David Beckham has a) visible panty line; b) a douchey haircut; c) an ultra-douchey neck tattoo; d) neon pink shoes. On the plus side, he looked at me and winked. Hawt.
and his wife’s into Chinese foot binding too!
Leave it to you to work in a bondage fetish into the conversation :D
Becks got a bit pissy after LA lost the match. He jostled the Earthquakes mascot as it was prancing around with a sign saying WINNING SIDE.
And guess who I ran in to first thing in the stadium? Lew. He was with his grandkids so I just nodded and waved my green and gold backpack.
Classy.
Now if you could only get Beckham to jostle Lew a little bit…
I’m glad everybody has better things to do tonight than Lounge.
I already did my better things. :)

Well, score one for the methodical approach.
That pass from Iniesta was sweet. COME ON ITALY!!
aw, man. the guy with john lurie’s nose is hurt!
LOL. That’s a damn shame.
i like method. as long as it’s somewhat vertical and can change tempo all of a sudden. which is what’s going on, so i’m liking spain. but will they now revert to their 1-0 tactic of molassesing the game?
I don’t know if they’re trying to kill it off already or if they just can’t get hold of the ball. Good thing they have Iker.
i was JUST about to write that it didn’t seem like they were killing it yet because when they got the ball around the center circle they didn’t automatically wait for the whole team to catch up or send the ball back, but were actually going forward with a little speed even if outnumbered.
Barca with Dani Alves on one side and Jordi Alba on the other is going to be even scarier than usual.
Leaving the Italian defense seemingly shocked at the notion of getting back.
Time to bring on the Brazilian.
And he already pulled a hammy. WTF.
And no more subs left because of the Chiellini injury. This is a disaster.
Italy seems helpless.
I’m kind of hoping this doesn’t turn into a 4 or 5 goal blowout at this point.
Like I said…
now THAT was unbelievable. torres passes it and gives up a chance to be the tournament’s top scorer???
Sigh. That couldn’t have gone much worse.
that was sad.
well… it’s official.
I ain’t mad.
Ryan Cook is an All-Star. Does that mean no Josh Reddick?
No Reddick. Boooo, Ron Washington.
In depth Scout.com article on Dan Straily.

Any time the west coast can out-cheat the east coast on that stuff…
Not in this case. Can’t agree.
I’d rather have an All-Cool game than an all-star game. McCarthy, Braden, and Curtis Granderson choose the AL squad. RA Dickey chooses the NL squad.
I support this.
Jesuuuuuuuuuuuuuuus. I’mma light a candle for Wright, next to my CANDLE OF SADNESS for Reddick.
The All-Star game is such a crock.
I’m going to be on a plane and miss the All-Star Game. What a gosh-darn shame.
constricted in a small tight space… missing the all-star game… I’m sold!
Where are we going?
home it is!
and there I am!
