Target of our Dreams 19

Target of our Dreams
A lot of the discussion of getting a new ballpark is in the abstract, as the timing is always a long way off and the roundabout discussions of where it will be seem endless.  Sure, most of us probably remember when the Big Phone opened, but back then the A’s were good and there wasn’t ...

You have got to be kidding me 56

Selig: oddly chickenshit Selig: oddly obstreperous Selig: oddly lionized What would my walkup music be? Either the end-credits theme from Buckaroo Banzai, or Herrmann’s “The Murder” from Psycho Don’t blame me, I voted for porn BP CEO: His Rug Is Relatively “Tiny” Compared To “Very Big Chrome Cranium” puny forearms/approaching meteor Uh … Phillip Seymour ...

Game 35: The second one where Geren played 3 catchers 121

Vlad is 7/18 lifetime vs Sheets. And it’s Arlington during daylight? Eek. I’m guessing 2/2 HR 2B BB off of Sheets today.

At least we ain’t the Mariners 80

Dave Cameron has entered the Puyallup River Valley of Despair — already? On the other hand, he has a pretty sweet new gig lined up. Congrats, Dave! (And you thought Fangraphs was the limit of his ambition.) The Mariners’ new DH My theory on the Griffey Slumbergate story: I’m guessing that, after striking out in ...

Game 34 Thread vs. Texas 34

A’s go with a 3-catcher lineup. Hopefully Gio will keep pitching well and not allow any balls to LF. Weaver fell prey to the stupid argument jinx in the first today. Go A’s.

The Grill 5/12/10 The One That Landon Powell Stole 77

1.  I don’t know if this kind of site interests you, but it interests me. No clown porn, promise. 2.  It reminds me of something I ran across while rabbit holing the other day, namely this: Danzig hopes to record a dark blues album involving Jerry Cantrell and Hank III. Now upon reflection, it probably ...

First ever (?) FK postgame thread: the one where Landon Powell stole a base 7

QOTG from Barton, on Powell’s swipe of 2B: “I thought I was dreaming, really.” Also via Jane Lee, she has the full Braden Letterman Top 10. Her blog is actually pretty good. [Technical note: nm, seems to me the unfinished-script hangup/bug when attempting a new post is getting worse.]

Game 33 Thread vs. Texas 225

The A’s offense is waiting until people get home from work to do anything. Cahill good so far.

Like a wet hot dog off a grill 147

Yikes, but this is effective: But when you’re as all-around strong weak as the Red Sox Athletics, you can shouldn’t find room on your roster for one guy who doesn’t do anything except hit right-handed pitchers. There’s the rub: sooner rather than later, it may be impossible for the Red Sox A’s to keep carrying ...
