I hope Parker is FITZ
FKing In The Zone?
Did the Saint Louis Browns ever play in St. Louis?
Sup, bitches?
Word up, yo.
First day of sun for me today. Paying for it now.
I’ve gotten sun burned in movie theater.
I have the will to win.
I’m basically coasting at this point.
Ugh
I think many over-react too much to reaches, but at the same time, what the fuck?
I was actually reacting to the four-pitch walk to open this game. But that too.
And of course everyone had E.J. Manuel being the first QB taken in the draft.
But seriously, Buffalo.
WALKS! c’mon!
Strike 3.
1-2 pitch was right on the inside black with Bob Davidson having a straight-on view of it. Ball.
better.
i like double plays
There we go, let’s win this one boys.
Um. Ray. Glen. You do not have to speak every moment of the broadcast. It really is okay to let there be silence. Talking for the sake of talking is mind numbing. Don’t do it.
The Coco fro is even more awesome than before.
Pretty amusing in the helmet.
Froco!
My littlest one keeps trying to get at something underneath me (there’s nothing there). Every time she pokes me with her paw, I can’t help but go all Pillsbury Dough Boy and giggle.
That is disturbing.
that was a less awesome double play
gonna have to put a rear view mirror on that rig, coco.
Gosh, it seems like there’s a new A’s game every day…how many of these things do they play?
dammit parker! no walks
I didn’t see Cal Ripken out there at short stop so I guess the streak is over.
He ended his streak on my wedding day.
ironic
Alanis Morissette, is that you?
Night in the ruts.
Also, BOOBIES
times 2.
Jaso is gonna be singing soprano after this one.
Redick Donaldson…sounds like a long haul trucker out of Memphis.
3 OL guards taken in the first 21 picks…that’s different. I’m not sure I would ever draft a guard in the 1st round.
Hmm…so I’m talking about a draft I’m not watching in a game thread for a baseball game I’m not watching. Damn, I’m good.
pardon?
Sorry. I don’t have any Grey Poupon.
Are you two talking about prisons again?
I dunno. I enjoy Iupati tremendously
Enjoy the rest of the base ball game between the two professional teams currently playing.
I’ll take it.
Damn…
productive out
Nice play
I covet the Machado Man.
I’d trade 9 Hattebergs
I went to school with 27 Hattebergs.
WALKS! FK YEAH!
#thingsdogssay
Patient Schlong pays off.
Took me years to learn that.
LOL
grand slam.
I love hearing the organ music
OrioLOLes
was adam jones blowing a bubble?
(Gold Glove)
How in god’s name did he win that? He’s a disaster out there.
DRILLED!
It seems like there has been an overabundance of shitty fielding in this early season, at least in games I have watched.
for the A’s for sure.
Indeed
Jones is unhappy.
The CSN graphics guy just trolled Adam Jones hard.
what did it say?
“Two-time gold glove winner”
It also said “2nd error this year” even though it was ruled a hit.
Bwahahaha
Thank you, Adam Jones. I will gladly accept fluke luck.
Add Machado. :)
Pretty funny, they were talking last inning about how important all the Orioles’ gold glovers are.
Ken and Vince too. they were comparing Machado to Brooks Robinson.
even notice how vince slows down his talking when the play is unfolding, instead of speeding up? Yeah, Tell me reimold is going to second before you tell me whenre reddick is
Yes. I have noticed that. Often.
Also jinxing us, wtf…
On the shutdown inning? Fosse did it too, of course.
Ugh…
Fuck this…
Vince makes me want to mute my radio.
he just mentioned “do a jeter play” in reference to pretending to be hit at the plate. your argument is invalid.
My theory is that he adopted this technique early on to compensate for a habit of mis-calls (wrong player, wrong base, wrong # of outs, etc). If you put yourself on a two second delay your autocorrect maybe catches some of those in time.
jarrod!
“tough pitch to throw on” aka “Pitch thrown to Jaso”

fail
Reddick wasn’t getting him anyway on that one, I don’t think.
The offense should stop scoring runs because the starters are clearly incapable of SDIs.
Just need to keep it scoreless until the 9th so they can’t give up a run in the next inning. Side benefit: lots of pies.
This game could get even uglier.
Ugly Dickshot agrees.
Go away Parker, just go away.
I am afraid to look at where the A’s starting pitching ranks relative to others in the AL.
Sigh
Pennington throws Markakis out there.
I didn’t know Curt young was talking to parker, befire VInce said he was arguing with the first base umpire
Two reactions:
1. No shutdown inning, drinking.
2. I didn’t know CoCo plays shortstop.
One has to figure it is only a matter of time before Straily gets back into the rotation.
One way or another.
they’re gonna find ya
They’re gonna getcha getcha getcha
Maybe next week
Hide yo kids, hide your wife
Yeah, that check swing should’ve been a strike for sure.
And Chris Davis clearly got hit on the back shoe.
I felt bad for umps for a minute after seeing that nutblast gif. I’m over it now.
no walks!
Thank gawd, bring it back boys.
kicked out!
Do we drink if it’s their SDI?
Quick making me think of Reagan!
I keep seeing STI here
Whew…
One for each, ouch…
The Orioles first base coach is quite the portly gentleman.
Wayne Kirby, older brother of former Raider (and Niner) Terry Kirby. (I did not know that.)
Every time one of these random white guys on the Orioles comes up, I think “Hey, it’s B.J. Surhoff!”
Tar Heel, teammate of Walt Weiss.
79-76 final in a postseason basketball game tonight. I would have sworn the NCAA tournament was over.
The likely chaos from dual A’s-Warriors events tomorrow have dissuaded me from attending.
It’s going to be kind of crazy. Good night to sit in front of the tube unless someone offers you a Warriors ticket.
I thought about you today. Had to use a gun.
one wonders which one was the cause and which the effect.
More varmints?
Snake. Tried to run over it twice with the lawnmower, but the deck was too high to chop it up. One time I ran over a snake in the yard that was so big it stopped the lawnmower blade.
This is Dad’s lawnmower:
Impressive!
I can’t wait for Cespy.
yup
Playing in Sacramento tonight. Run-scoring GIDP in his first AB, single in his second. On deck again now.
Also, after all the complaining about day-to-day guys not being put on the DL, I wonder if they erred in the other direction this time. Understandable since Coco was also banged up at the time, but it really hurts to have him out longer than necessary.
Agreed, but if it can keep him healthy from here out it’s worth it.
I know, I know better, but optimism?
what just happened?
points scored. them.
Thanks, Buck.
God that was a dumb move.
vince’s speexh about how the bunt worked in 3-2-1
#playthegametherightway
he didn’t! but the night is young
any relation to chris?
yes, but not the Chris Young you are thinking of.
funny thing, i know another chris young IRL.
the one from Vancouver?
winnipeg. i guess i mentioned this already?
but how often are there two concurrent baseball players with the same name (though i don’t see the other one listed right now)? is it more or less likely that you’d also know someone with that name? john smith or juan molina more likely, right? does chris young fall in that category?
No, my friend crhis Young lives in Vancouver
SEE?
Hey, at one point in the early 2000s there was a baseball player, a football player, and two basketball players named Dee Brown.
i’m not sure that totally gives me goosebumps since it’s a nickname though 4 of them is a lot. and i don’t remember the one who was with the A’s in 2007 at all. 8 games. 3PAs. .000
Okay, let’s give it a try, M O J O T O W N !
can he play second?
Rootin’ for Bartin’
Baserunner.
pardon?.
Ugh, nusbavihbhvhabdvhsdabkvbjasbnvdkj.
LOVE that movie. REPLICANTS!!! pew pew. spaceships on fire, sniff. noooo… him too????
Oh, I thought he meant the guy with no legs.
-You are walking to the on deck circle and the guy in front of you hits a safety
-A safety? what’s that?
-Know what a single is?
-Yeah
-Same thing
Nice.
Awesome.
Batty Gaffed…
Damn it.
This guy is killing us w/ GB’s.
Parker is toast…
peacock era+82, Parker, 52
ugh
this guy is killing up with his pitches
Softly?
jarrodly
good lord
Bye-bye
DAN-IEL STRAI-LY
clap clap clapclapclap
Jarrod Parker has had about as much command this year as Dorothy Parker. Is it Straily or Gray time yet?
Jaso has a glass arm.
THROW SOME FKING STRIKES
[perks up]
If it lasts more than 4 hours, you should see a doctor about that. But make sure you have a fun and exciting four hours before you do.
This inning might last 4 minutes…
Go ooonnnnnnn……
Guess Jarrod Parker just didn’t have “the will to win” tonight.
Catchable?
[crickets]
pam answered sme

*click*
Yeah, pretty much
(checks out)
*clack*
I’ll be in moving mode all weekend, so don’t blame me.
Sadsack Neshek and To Bed We Go
I don’t want to acknowledge this one, heh.
So loud pop sound outside. Sort of like a transformer blowing without the power going out. I suppose it could be a gunshot. Much more interesting than this game.
I wonder if Cespedes sits there watching this, going, “Madre de Dios, este equipo chupa mierda sin mÃ.”
uh…4?
I don’t get these “I ate the bones” KFC commercials. Do these idiots not grasp that they order boneless chicken?
That they went into a KFC at all brings their judgment, if not their intelligence, into doubt.
I love to rent food from Colonel Cluck.
In that classification, Wing Stop is sort of non-terrible.
I like Popeye’s.
Spicy for the sake of spicy.
Give me that spice
I don’t mind KFC. Not a frequent fan of fast food in general, but there chicken isn’t horrible.
Agreed.
I can’t eat KFC anymore. I liked it as a kid but it’s too greasy for my taste now.
Isn’t fried chicken supposed to be greasy?
The fried chicken I like is a lot less greasy than KFC.
I used to really like their slaw.
So did my grandmother. Whenever we got KFC she always reminded me to make sure I got the coleslaw for her.
PCP is a hell of a drug.
Put Rosie back on the DL, please.
If you GIDP in your only plate appearance of the season, that’s what, a -.500 OBP?
BURN THAT BLUE A’S HAT NOW
FKing awful. Call child protective services.
Jesse Chavez getting this much work is not a good thing.
pfft…watching him pitch is the only reason I follow the A’s.
On the bright side, we aren’t wasting a good pitcher in games like this.
GLASS HALF FULL! GLASS HALF FULL!
Wheeeeeee!
I know he’s just a mop-up guy and he may be good in the minors, but Jesse Chavez has no business in MLB. Classic AAAA guy.
I’m hoping they send Patton out for the 9th. I want him to get credit for a save.
Buck you, Showalter
The only runs the A’s scored tonight came on a misplayed fly ball. That’s not going to win the game.
If you think we have it bad, I bring you the Halos Heaven gif file of the millennium, proving that even when I am suicidally depressed the pictures they post after the Slegs lose can have me ready to soil my sweatpants with unmitigated hysterics:
R.I.P. Elmo.
That’s beautiful. And would probably lead to years of therapy for my daughter if she ever saw it.
I love this.
I really want to try it at home (see above comment).
I’m freeeeeeeeeeeeeeee free fallllllllllllin’
This post will make better sense if sung in an appropriate falsetto.
I used this gif in a work meeting this morning, to tell everybody how I feel about some of our issues (I’m being deliberately vague here).
