The cool thing about interleague play is that the Astros finally get to face guys like Mark Kotsay and Jason Kendall.
This is EXACTLY what Kendall needed to bust out of his season-long slump. I bet he's been looking forward to this series for 2 years.
-
Awesome.
I'm watching the Brewers/Tigers game right now and just saw a Spanish-only commercial for Jimmy John's Sammiches that was oddly like the Roybertito's ad.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, get a Spanish speaking friend to help out.

Kendall - .194/.236/.204
Ouch.
ETA: He is in the last year of a 6/60 - making $13M this year.

Cust in LF, fun times again!
-
Kendall - .194/.236/.204
Yep, only player in baseball worse at the plate than Everett.
I guarantee he breaks out this series.

Oh that's right, I forgot AE went on a tear recently.
Sorry, should have said "when I looked up OPS for all major league hitters about 2 weeks ago, AE was next to last and Kendall was easily last."

Real question:
Does anyone in here find it the least bit "cool" that we're playing AL West teams this week? Does anyone who cares about the actual sport still find Interleague (not just the stupid "rivalries") interesting?
I honestly don't think I do. For a while, it was kind of interesting, but I'd much rather be playing the Reds or Brewers tonight.
-
Now, what might be considered a sign of too much to drink...
I clicked over to Gameday, say Roy's picture in the pitcher's spot, and thought "homer" before Roy Oswalt.
I've been spending too much time in here...or homer has....

You've spent damn near as much time as me.

Really doesn't matter to me. Can't say I'd rather see the Astros play any particular team.

Home sweet home Bidge.

The onl thing interesting, that I could find, is that there was the discussion of West Coast food on the same day we were playing a West Coast team, and it had nothing to do with each other (like skyline "chili" and Sin-sin-a-tee).
It is a thin connection, though, as most people prefer the San Diego version, which is an NL team, as it should be.
The AL means nothing to me.
I'm only here typing to pace my vodka consumption.

I hate interleague. It just just screws up the schedule. I'd rather see a division opponent.

Sure, rub it in....

Bidge goes the other way ... I don't think I saw him even try to go the other way the entire road trip.

I don't like it overall. I still think it's interesting at times, but I hate when they have to play in an AL ballpark.
I really hate the DH.
I, too, would rather the Astros were playing an NL central team tonight.

Now THAT'S funny.
I can't believe it didn't occur to me that Oswalt is trying to beat Kennedy tonight.
-
Does anyone else think Kennedy's motion looks fucked up?

Now THAT'S funny.
I can't believe it didn't occur to me that Oswalt is trying to beat Kennedy tonight.
From that Book Suppository Building, sir!

In case anyone is trying to read this tomorrow and figure out where this discussion fits into the game,
Lee just hit the sac fly in the first, scoring Biggio.

Gotta be. Some mole scout. Yeah, I wouldn't throw this kid any breaking stuff. Fastball in, that's where to go. Real slow hands on the lanky guy.

I hope he gets that same note into Bidge's book. Inside fastballs, belt high. Old man can't get around on the heat.

Pound Bidge with fastballs? I was just thinking that.

Right, go at him. Try to get ahead in the count.

JD getting down on the homeplate ump. He has been doing that quite often this year.
-
JD just called Eric Cooper a cocksucker.
-
JD already on the ump. Roy says fuck it. I'll make em swing.
-
The A's. Dark green socks and white cleats.
Clowns from the Charlie O circus.

Cust looks like a shorter, fatter Adam Dunn.

I. Still. Hate. Kendall.

I have nothing to do with it. When he left the Bucs, I was able to put away an entire room of BBG Shrinery.

Holy fuck, the P jumps Gunther for a 2-run double.
-
You have got to be shitting me.
Do you feel something tight around your neck?
-
You have got to be shitting me.
Why would we be? Astros took a lead in the last half inning. Roy is pitching.
It's in the rule book.

More disturbing commentary?

Time to start drinking.
For those from the more Central Texas area, Spurs beating the shizz out of the Cavs resumes in 23 minutes.

-
The motherfucking AL pitcher hits one on to the hill? Does Kendall have a Roy O voodoo doll or something?
-
Roy better keep his mouth shut about run support, after grooving an AL pitcher like that. What a fucked up inning.
-
JD kills me! Did you know the A's have a pitcher named "Doucher"?
-

I never thought I would say it, but drat-it-all!
Roy ain't putting up a good front against a lineup that, believe it or not, might look worse than the Astros 9 for the night.
Defensively, they might be better, I don't know, but it doesn't sound like Roy can say anything about the defense with the hits he is giving up.
-
You have got to be shitting me.
Listen, I'm as annoyed as I'm going to be with what is actually going on. I'm sure not going to be making up any more of this.

He hit his pop foul in a place they couldn't catch it, then somehow Kennedy threw him ball four.

So, Gar figures Mo will end the inning watching, sets up the next inning with Burke leading off, AE hitting to the right side to move him to 2nd/3rd, Ausmus, then, can't hit into the DP, so Burke either moves to 3rd or scores or the grounder, and the pitcher spot is up for the 3rd out, thereby making the next inning a good spot to start the whole lineup over again.
-

So.
1) Suck
2) Lose playing time
3) Suck off the bench
4) Beg for another chance
5) Suck
6) Complain
7) Suck
8 ) Get sent down
9) Complain
10) Suck worse at a lower level
11) Get called up
12) Suck
13) Complain
14) Get more playing time
15) Score in a ML game
I should have never quit after LL.

This game coulda been really interesting if Kennedy's first name was John and Oswalt ended with a d instead of a t.

Roy swung when the ball was in the mitt.

Go Bidge!! Now that's what I like to see! I wonder how many doubles he's hit to RF?

Home Town Craig.
5 x 5 tonight would be great for so many reasons.

Bidge going the other way again. I swear, someone correct me, he didn't do that one single time on the road trip.

No RF in AL parks.
Or in Colorado.
Or Wrigley.

So, Lane and Q are due?

Right. Soon as they come back the Astros will score more runs. Any day now.

Let me ask you a question. Honestly, truly, seriously, if I said "Mihoba, you can either start Loretta at 2nd the rest of the season or Biggio the rest of the season" you'd have to think about it?
-

The Astros are wasting their prime years in the minors. Absolutely rotting away.

Lee runs down a gapper. And other unlikely word combinations.

Roy throws over, it's high, skipped off the top of Loretta's glove into the stands.

Here comes the Alkie moment...

I am not posting from the game and HH isn't in drag. It's a man dress. They're REAL. Look it up.
-
Here comes the Alkie moment...
Kendall's friends are going to blow his chance to sleep with Mia Hamm's sister? Or he's about to move in with a drug dealer?
-
Roy throws over, it's high, skipped off the top of Loretta's glove into the stands.
Thanks.
-
Roy seems to want to prove a game can be won while throwing more balls than strikes. He's almost broken even now...
-

HH is svelte compared to that seat smotherer.
-

I figured Kendall was sure to break his extra-base slump and drive in a couple of runs just to confirm your earlier prophecy.

Well, that's the thing.
Name a division with "bigger" moves.

So that's kind of amazing. 145 years of baseball (or whatever it is) and the Houston Astros are still the only NL team to ever no hit an AL team. Ever.

He's had the best atbats in the last 2 games, now 3. We've said that the Astros were looking for more big hits from the 8 spot. Now they're getting them. That's one thing off the list.

It's no wonder I'm paranoid about eating in the stands during a game. I also don't want to miss the game going to the concession stand. Outside of beer, they're not making much money off of me when I go to a game.

You know, most baseball broadcasts spend an inordinate time showing good looking young girls in the stands. Yet Astros broadcasts alternate between the most disgusting specimens the camera can find, and demented middle aged women with trite face paintings.
Now, I go to a lot of Astros game and there's usually some decent eye candy in my section to keep me occupied between batters.
I hate to say it, but you got to wonder what's causing stomach churning images in an otherwise healthy broadcast.

What, you missed the babes sending Hunter Pence their phone numbers? "Hunter, this is for you 281-615-0582." Also, "Ausmus puts the Ass in Astros". I thought that one was pretty good, actually. Couldn't believe it made the broadcast.

Alkie is compensating with his post count.
-
You know, most baseball broadcasts spend an inordinate time showing good looking young girls in the stands. Yet Astros broadcasts alternate between the most disgusting specimens the camera can find, and demented middle aged women with trite face paintings.
Now, I go to a lot of Astros game and there's usually some decent eye candy in my section to keep me occupied between batters.
I hate to say it, but you got to wonder what's causing stomach churning images in an otherwise healthy broadcast.
Yeah, it's really weird. Every time we go to a game, we see plenty of incredibly cute to incredibly hot younger women at the game. Yet, here we sit watching mraup and me eating brats with sporks.

Oh, come ON. You can do better than this.

Here's one you can use at home.
Went to a frat party once and told the girls I had just come back from Mexico where I bought these pills that make my semen taste like bubble gum and/or grape flavor.
It worked.

Only if you surreptitiously first drop in her drink one of the other pills you bought in Mexcio.

Nice try Brad. I didn't know he could hit it that far the other way.

No, it actually worked. The simple re-telling of the story got me free beer for years.

He doesn't actually own one. They're just earcovers because he is so awkard and shy.

When 20 year old ballplayers recycle jokes that my great grandfather was embarrassed to repeat in the 20s...

Twinkie has spilled his snacks into two lockers. Messy Astros Award.
Who knew.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. Oh man.
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeew.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
When 20 year old ballplayers recycle jokes that my great grandfather was embarrassed to repeat in the 20s...
What joke? You think I'm kidding? Woody Williams listed his spare time activities as reading the Bible and listening to spiritual music. These boys spin in a tight gyre.
-
I used to really enjoy these stories. Then my daughter left for college...
I now have a 4 year old daughter and am pretty liberal. Nothing I used to find funny, is now.

At least you don't have a 4 year old boy who LOVES Twinky Winky. That used to be funny too.

It's any ballplayer who was robbed of their proper youth by fathers trying to live vicariously through their much more athletically talented sons.

Stepford ballplayers.

Fuck me. Everyone in this pen has been nails at some time or another this season. But never are they all clicking at once.
-
Dear god, did they just say that Kotsay has three hits tonight? I just looked at his season stats, and he's 6 for 36 so far this year.
-

Roy needs something to bitch about. Which candyasses are you talking to?
-

I will be drinking heavily, but I was doing that before the game started....might be doing it when the game ends.

That makes three of us.

Tried to nail the first guy, again.

Miller did his job, Chavez did his. Time to nut up.

He was staring at him.

THAT'S right. There's talk of possible sex tonight, so let's, by all means, show the fat guys from Rice eating again.
-
LIDGING. HUGE.
-
Wasn't a swing, but it definately was a strike. Nice job, Revert.
-
Who doubted? Who?
-
Wheee!! Johnson is pissed. Go ahead, argue and get thrown out. I'd like to see it happen to an opposing player for a change.
-
Who doubted? Who?
Do you mean "Who doubted whom?" Because that answer is simple.
-
He was staring at him.
He should have been. Miller has good control and was trying to move the hitter back so he could throw his trash on the outside corner. Same thing he was doing the other day... except that guy Biggio'd up.
-
Do you mean "Who doubted whom?" Because that answer is simple.
Nu uh. Who doubted? Point em out to me.
-
Nu uh. Who doubted? Point em out to me.
That would be me.

Not those guys. They're still chewing their styrafoam cud.

You need to go think about yourself then.

JD - Trever is the mailman. Nobody notices him until he doesn't show up.
-
Not those guys. They're still chewing their styrafoam cud.
mmmmmmm.... gastroenterology.....
-
Nu uh. Who doubted? Point em out to me.
Oh yeah, it's Phil's fault! That's all you need to know.
And, I think Woody's job may be on the line right now.

I TOLD you, I was GOING to, then Jane Doe brought up the Fat Kids With Brats again and all blood was redistributed.
-
mmmmmmm.... gastroenterology.....
Someone call a plumber?

I did...a little bit, but I haven't been drinking tonite.

I'll tell you what, this GZ business is bad for the liver. At first it was, "maybe a beer when the game starts and some wine with dinner." Then, with a tight game, and exposure to alcohol fueled gamezone repartee, a bottle of whiskey at hand, and then... aw fuck it.

He's got a two year contract. What do you think they're going to do with him? As desperate as teams are for pitching I guess they could get someone to take him. But shipping him out for Chan Ho would be pointless.
-
Chan Ho cannot beat a Woody
But that costs money.
-
Have you never watched Park "pitch"?
hmmmmm.
Turn up your sarcasm meters for fuck's sake.

I have.
I get that it was a no-gamble pick up. I almost wish I hadn't heard about it.

Tell em Jane. Adding a few more doesn't impact that much more, since you already took the plunge.
-
Really? That BAD?
No, that's the thing. We had it REALLY EASY. She slept thru the night at like 4 months. Never gone to jail yet or even gotten pregnant.
But I learn from other's mistakes. My best friend had a daughter that still doesn't sleep thru the night (at 4).
I'm not a baby person. Neither is my wife. We're quite happy with our daughter and have no need to add to the overpopulation of the earth at this point.

I didn't like kids when I was a kid. No patience for them whatsoever.

I wanted a boy, he's now 25.
Then I wanted a girl, she's 24.
Then I wanted a new wife. My youngest boy is 16.
I'm done.

No. But I'm seriously considering a Fat Elvis group. Viva.

They surely won't play the "here comes the pain" song, will they?

I agree. But, Amy made a really broad condemnation of all kids. She doesn't want kids, I have no problem with that, but not all kids are hooligans.
-

I think JD came up with the perfect closer music, The Bolero.

Lidge on
to Kotsay (left)
Slider backing up on the outside, called strike
Fastball down and in, 97, fouled
hung a slider, homer to right.
-
YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!
WAIT!
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.
-
Oh, Yeah! Lidge is back!
The radio talk shows will have a field day tomorrow.

holy fucking shit, did that seriously just happen

Son of a bitch.
-

I was speaking for myself. If you have a different view, more power to ya. Someone has to have babies I guess.
-
sunuvabitch. There's the boos.
-
Wow, just unreal.
-
0-2 is a wonderful thing.
(I typed the above before the HR...)
I feel terrible for Brad, but that was an awful pitch.
-
sunuvabitch. There's the boos.
I was hoping you said boobs.
-
to Ellis
Fastball outside corner
fastball about the same spot, double down the right field line, kicked up the chalk
-
You know...I really really wanted Lidge to take back the closers role. The man has been unfuckinghittable.
What incredibly bad timing.
I hope they don't react poorly to this (management...who gives a shit about the fans).
-

Well, this season has shown us that management does, which itself sucks.
-
Good thing Brad is back there. Someone else would have let that roll to the backstop.
-
Wheeler looks pumped.
-
HUGE K.
C'mon BRAD.
-
I feel terrible for Lidge. I just hope he can get his head together and I hope he gets another chance.
-
to Swisher (left)
slider on the outside misses
fastball on his shins, has to jump out of the way
fastball down and in, in the dirt, gets away from ausmus, runner advances
fastball down and in, swing and miss, 3-1
slider up, catches the outside corner, called strike
slider in and in the dirt, K swinging
-
Damn fine slider on 3-0 and 3-2. Head might be fucked, but the stuff is still there
-
HUGE K.
C'mon BRAD.
-
to Chavez (left)
fastball inner third called strike
slider in and down, fouled off
slider in the dirt, chased wildly for the K
-
they cant even see this slider. Shit.
-
Damn fine slider on 3-0 and 3-2. Head might be fucked, but the stuff is still there
3-0 was a FB that was ball 4. Swisher chased it.
-
to Johnson (left)
IBB
-
Come on Brad, one more, please.
-
HUGE K.
C'mon BRAD.
Let's hope for a triple post.
-
Damn fine slider on 3-0 and 3-2. Head might be fucked, but the stuff is still there
If ONLY he would trust it.
-
Who's up in the bottom?
-
to Crosby
slider over the inner third, swung over
fastball outer third fouled off
slider hung a little on the inside, popped to AE
-
Whew, good recovery Lidge.
-
Huge.
Let's get 'em bats.
-
Who's up in the bottom?
Haahaaahaaahaaa. Oh, you mean the bottom of the inning.
-
burke everett ausmus
-
now its time for some heroics..
-
I'd really love a walkoff of any sort here.
-
Haahaaahaaahaaa. Oh, you mean the bottom of the inning.
Fucking sicko. Wish I'd have met you in college.
-
Who's up in the bottom?
Good thing fish tacos weren't invented in San Francisco.
-
Fucking Kotsay. Nice job by Lidge to limit the damage.
-
Haahaaahaaahaaa. Oh, you mean the bottom of the inning.
Why would you think that? (Burke Everett Ausmus, so they have a chance)
-
Fucking sicko. Wish I'd have met you in college.
Nope, I got more than 1 kid.
-
now its time for some heroics..
Thrilling heroics. Big damn heros.
-
OK, so on the HR- I know he hung the slider, but it looked it looked away to me. Was it that terrible of a pitch, or did Kotsay put a pretty good swing on it to pull the HR?
-
What's with Astros pitchers giving up first-of-the-season homers to so many guys lately? Blech!
-
Now that was a quality at bat.
-
what the fuck was Burke doing bunting?
-
what the fuck was Burke doing bunting?
Moving ghost runners over?

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.

what the fuck was Burke doing bunting?
trying to impress the other 29 teams.

Any of these would have worked.
-
OK, so on the HR- I know he hung the slider, but it looked it looked away to me. Was it that terrible of a pitch, or did Kotsay put a pretty good swing on it to pull the HR?
Looked over the outside corner to me and, yes, Kotsay put a pretty good swing on it. FWIW, JD said he overthrew it and thus left it up.
-
what the fuck was Burke doing bunting?
Bye baby Bunting
Daddy's gone a-hunting
To catch a little rabbit skin
To wrap the baby Bunting in.

Free fucking baseball.

Ok, real question and my life is in your hands.
I am the keynote speaker at some webinar tomorrow at noon.
I've just had two Belgian ales (my standard for an evening). Nice buzz right now. Feel good.
Astros game is about to go 18. Spurs game on PiP.
Do I have another Belgian ale and take some Advil or be an adult and stop drinking so I can be my level best during the webinar?
-
I. Hate. Jason. Kendall.

And we have to give up Kendall's first extra base hit in two years.

Got any green Gatorade (has to be green, the original lemon-lime stuff)? If so, you're good to go for another two Belgians. Three Advil and a lemon-lime gatorade in the morning and you're gold. If you don't have the Gatorade, you're on your own.

No shit. Drink 'till the game is over.
Deal with the rest later.

So where is Craig vis a vis 1000 extra base hits?

Scouting reports are so useless.

This "play Bidge only at MMPUS" should be explored.

Wheeee!!!! Sac him over, and let PENCE!!! save the day.

To a bunch of insurance salesmen that can (literally) barely spell their own names? Hardly. These webinars make me think even less of humankind. If that's possible.
20 pages and 380 posts of this shit tonight.
Outstanding.
-
Your clients are pedophiles?
I wouldn't doubt it for a second.
I miss the old days when my clients were just stockbrokers. Now they're mostly insurance agents. It's what you could call a "noticeable" difference.

Dammit, I meant Hawaiin and was thinking "don't say Asian."

What would you rather we talk about?

So I've been trying the upper-righthand-corner-of-the-picture rule of thumb, and I have to say, it's not working.
-
Grrr.. damnit gunther.
Please end this now, Flapjack!
edit: Aw shit. IBB.
Iceberg to the dish.

Granted. They went grunge tonight.

Oh lordy. I can see the wheels sparking in Morgan's mind.

If you can convince a room full of people to get properly registered with their state or go to jail, the gig is yours.
Never tried, but what the heck...your money....
-

You're giving these knucklebreathers WAY too much credit.
There's this one thing for them to fill out. NAME/STATE/EMAIL. You would be AMAZED how many of them fuck it up.
-
Single and Biggio scores.
Shut up. No jinxing allowed.
-
Sweet Jesus, not Mo. He'll watch strike three with the bases loaded. Fuck.
-
Shocked, SHOCKED, they would not pitch to Lee.
-
Oh lordy. I can see the wheels sparking in Morgan's mind.
Walk off walk. Sweet.
-
ballllllllllllll 1..........
-
If Iceberg works a walk...
-
What was that?
-
NEVER. SLIDE.
AAAAAAAARGGGGGH.
-
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCccccccckkkKKKKKKKKKKK
Mo hit that ball as hard as he could.
-
Never tried, but what the heck...your money....
Appreciate it.
-
Nice dive, at least. He really got some air.
-
Did Kent teach him that sliding headfirst into 1B shit? Dumbass.
-
pusstastic
-
If Iceberg works a walk...
He'll never swing the bat again.
For better or worse, we've been spared that outcome.
-
What was that?
No, I am not kidding. What WAS THAT?
-
NEVER. SLIDE.
AAAAAAAARGGGGGH.
He just cleared a path for the throw. STUPID.
-
There is no way you'll ever convince me that it isn't faster to run through the bag. Not that he would've made it anyway, but that's just stupid.
-
At least keep your body in between the bag and the catcher. In this situation, you won't get called out every time.
-
they actually signed chan ho park today to come up and take mo's spot at 3rd base. i think it was a smart decision.
-
What was that?
The slide was the least of it, what was any of that?
-

Can Chan Ho make the throw to 1B?

There was some eye candy. Not sure she was 18 though...

When is Kotsay due up again? It's not inconceivable that he could double his season's hit total tonight.

Kendall is "more" due.
-
Platinum Sombero for Swisher?
-
So I told myself, Self, it's been a stressful week and a half and there's nothing you must accomplish at work tomorrow. Have a couple of drinks. Watch the Astros game, it will be fun. But don't drink too much, and you can go work out in the morning. That will make tomorrow great, and then you can catch up on all the other stuff at work.
Fuck, fuck and fuck. Fuck.
-

I blame you the most, Alkie.

Golden.

He got crowned!

Crpwned.

Feel free. Once an AstroKillah, always an asshole.

Golden.
And Chavez will be wearing that same hat.

SWEET... Borkwoski, Everett, and Ausmus due. WIN.
-
Holy shit. Borkowski should be the closer.
-
I'm already there.
-
Eighteen Ks.
-
Bork is the MAN.
-
Bork!!!
-
Holy shit. Borkowski should be the closer.
No fucking shit. At some point, it will happen.
Hey, he was warming up at the end of the game on Saturday.
-
I think Borkowski deserves a win right here.
-
JD says that the Oakland minor leaguers have to prove they can walk 10% of the time. If they was in the Washington Nationals system they'd be walkin to New Orleans.
-
I think Borkowski deserves a win right here.
JD agrees.
-
Ok, so I haven't watched an NBA game in about 5 years, but during the commercial I switched over and I swear, there's a guy playing for Cleveland with a bush on the back of his head. Is this a style I've somehow missed?

I read Moneyball when it came out. I really, REALLY wanted to believe in it. I thought, wow, what a cool idea.
Ten years and zero pennants later...I don't care too much for Moneyball anymore.

What the fuck was that, Lamb's Moberg impression?

Yes. Yes you did. The NBA sucks. They have for 4 years.
-
impressive 2 consecutive hitters, full swing, still haven't made the pitcher

That is Drew Gooden's Power Patch.
It is, without question, the stupidest fucking thing I've ever seen.
-
Adam and Ausmus could be magical.
-
Hey, good show AE! Come on Brad, be the man again.
-

He stole it from the side of Rasheed Wallace's haed.
-
AE nice double. Speed at second. Ausmus has been banging.
-
Yes. Yes you did. The NBA sucks. They have for 4 years.
The NBA is unwatchable.
Which is why we're watching the Finals.
-
Of COURSE Ausmus (he puts the Ass in Astros, doncha know) will win this game tonight.
-

Moneyball means you have limited funds so you buy players with one or two skills instead of five. Carlos Lee is a Moneyball player. So is Adam "Double" Everett.
-
how fitting is it that ausmus won that thing..
-
EXCELLENT.
-
Magic indeed!
-
The glove brothers did it!!
-
Ballgame!!
-
Everett and Ausmus. Fuck all yall.
-
Everett and Ausmus pair up for the WIN!!!!!
-
Adam and Ausmus could be magical.
YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
No 18 innings for you!
-
Adam and Ausmus could be magical.
Fuckin' magical that its not 18 innings. BEAUTIFUL.
-
The glove brothers did it!!
You DO win with defense!
-
Trade Ausmus to an AL West team TONIGHT.
-
Nice, beautiful!!!!! Now sleep will be just a little more pleasant. Good night
-

For a SS that can actually hit.
-
Down that Belgian Alkie. Good luck with the presentation. I meant it about the green Gatorade. Magical stuff.

Think the A's would give up Tejada or could we get A-Rod from the Rangers?

Pretty week effort by the catcher in LF there. Nice job AE and Brad.

Great call.

Oh my GOD! It's 67-64 in the fourth fucking quarter?! I'm signing off for another 5 years.

My roommate must think I'm nuts- suddenly screaming "Yes! Yes! No, no, NO! (seeing Everett waved home as Kendall cocks his arm) ...Yes, YES!!!!!"

Honestly, when I saw him rounding third I yelled "don't send him!!!"
And then I immediately thought "what the fuck am I saying! GO GO!!!"

If they had any brains, they'd hit Kotsay 3rd and Kendall 4th against us. I ain't no dummy.
Do you all not remember the late 90s and early 00s?

What the fuck are you talking about? The chinaman is not the issue here, Dude. I'm talking about drawing a line in the sand, Dude. Across this line, you DO NOT... Also, Dude, chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature. Asian-American, please.

I was going to wait for a Chan Ho call-up, but the A's provided me an early out.

man, this kind of stuff is why the GZ has become useless to a geezer like me. i come online to try to find out what is happening in the game and find a Pop Culture Reference Fest about which i know nothing.
