ALDS Game 5 of 5: <del>Redemption Day</del> Well Fk It All 270

It occurs to me that I did the game 1 post and lost. But if we’re going to win, we’re going to have to do something we seldom do: Win a fking Game 5. We lost this match up last year to the same fking guy and the same fking team. Not this time. This ...

Pre-game grill thread 86

Literally. I am about to light the grill. Parking row 6, near pole A4 (pole itself is in row 4). 10 cars west of driving row. Blue sienna minivan. Hope to see you soon. "Kraut will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no kraut."

ALDS Game 4 of X: Goodbye, Detroit. 736

I was trying to come up with a clever witticism for the excess of “ers” in the Tigers roster: (verlandERS, scherzERS, fistERS, huntERS, and fieldERS). But it wasn’t working for me, so, I will simply say: let’s take this thing! Lineups: Crisp CF, Donaldson 3B, Lowrie SS, Moss 1B, Cespedes LF, Smith DH, Reddick RF, ...

Dayum, it’s late and I need a lounge 80

With Bed out and all the conversation centered around actual baseball games lately I think it’s time we have a late nite lounge. Let random conversations reign.

ALDS Game 3 of X: Morning Becomes Electric 658

before you have even assembled your priorities, properly unrolled your magic toast or stepped into the wide eyes of your egg. An Australian poet named Bruce Dawe punned Eugene O’Neill, who retold Aeschylus, later riffed upon by NPR, which I’m given to understand is heavily infiltrated by fans of Your Oakland Athletics. ― the odour ...

ALDS Game 2 of X: So Need a Light 481

Can’t be flailing the railing with tree trunk size drumsticks tonight, cuz I couldn’t get a ticket today. I made the thread instead, for the few folks that aren’t there. We kind of need to win, so getting more than three hits and striking out less than a full sixteen times might be a step ...

ALDS Game 1 of X 227

So I guess we’re in the play offs or something. Yawn. Big deal. We did that last year. Wake me up when we’re in the World Series or something. Also, if someone at the game doesn’t mind, please make sure the offense is awake. We’re going to need them. : vs. Scherrrrrrez or something like ...

Why don’t you pass the time by playing a little solitaire? 116

A thread for lounging, grilling, following today’s non-A’s games, and burning off nervous energy. Which I at least have in abundance. Warmups: Pirates at St. Louis, 10:00 AM. Rays at Boston, noon. Dodgers at Atlanta, 3:00 PM. Dusty Baker is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I’ve ever known in my life. And ...

AL Wild Card Game in Cleveland&NLDS Games 1 170

The other threads were getting a bit crowded, so  here’s a nice fresh one for those of us who are watching, listening, following on Gameday, or even attending this thing.  And for the NLDS games on Thursday because they certainly aren’t going to generate enough comments on their own.  Except for M!A!  M!A!R! M!A!R!K! Ell-S! ...
