PrintOakland Athletics at Los Angeles Angels, Apr 28, 2008 7:05 PM PDT
You know what I like about the Oakland Athletics? In 2002, they went 8-11 against the Seattle Mariners. Had they gone 1-18 against the Mariners that season, Seattle would have been the Wild Card team in the playoffs that year.
wait a minute wait a minute
I'll make more money tonight than you ever dreamed of
you thought I was strange well just look at me now

Quinlan?
Man. I get depressed every time I see his name in the ‘due up’ list at the end of a half-inning.

izzy it hurt
and as far as i know, we didn’t call anybody up. and we don’t have any other infielders on our bench.
"Here we go baby, 'bout f***'n' time!"
Two Garland strikeouts in one inning
And with that, he nearly doubles his K-total for the season thus far.

Actually it was an inch into fair territory
The Frank Thomas triple was more an hilarious reminder of how crazy the game of inches is THAN say, soemthing to get riled up about them being great or us being bad.
Gaudin sucks
let’s pound this wimp.

Weird observation
but I just realized that, in the next 3 years it is feasible that the American League West will have three Asian catchers…?

Wow, that's weird
It not only posts the comment twice, but the one with the earlier time-stamp is posted second?

MENS WEARHOUSE COMMERCIAL
How many guys at the ballpark dress like that? Seriously? And especially the ones sitting on the couch…
I dunno. That's what I used to say every time he'd get a hit in '04
when he had that monster hot streak. Because it was true.

i thought if your name is suzuki
you go by your first name only
“now batting, the catcher, kurt”
Q looked horrible there
looked like fish outta water there, bouncing around on his stomach.
"Here we go baby, 'bout f***'n' time!"
garland is his own worst enemy
always putting guys on before giving up bombs
Steal 2nd or die trying
Hm
Theoretically would a player be able to participate in these random games if they were to come across it?
Or is there some rule against it, in the spirit of ‘gambling’ i suppose?
Chart it up! Game on!

i think oakland is like the Houston rockets
just a mirage on a nice run. eventually the true team will manifest itself
Steal 2nd or die trying
Or we're like the Celtics
an obviously superior opponent losing to a team that we should be sweeping in four games.
:-D

Yeah, that's why I brought it up
Still have to imagine the C’s will win the series, though.

there he goes again
walking a bunch of batters before giving up another homerun
Steal 2nd or die trying
Wow. The Sox are laughing at us
Cabrera for Garland? Who do you think got the better on that trade?
Write to the Angels front office. Get Tim Salmon's number 15 retired!
At the moment, they aren't laughing at anyone.
OC is batting .226 with a .600 OPS, and a craptacular .767 ZR.
~Till the Halo burns out...
if lackey and escobar were not hurt we would have
but all things considered @ least he is an innings eater
Steal 2nd or die trying

When was the last time G.A. grounded out to the left side of the infield?
by Caseys Kiss of Death on Apr 28, 2008 8:21 PM PDT reply actions
Jeez
He almost did it again.
Don’t try to blow high heat by them, YOU CAN’T DO IT.
Yay Thomas RBI.
~Till the Halo burns out...
K number 5.
I shudder to think how badly Saunders and Santana will dominate them.
~Till the Halo burns out...
Honestly, more disappointing is our offense right now.
getting 2-hit by Gaudin is not going to cut it. Jump him Halos.

there goes the one chance we had to get back in this one.

Moseley needs to go long before Garland
at least Jon has the potential to eat-innings effectively. I think he’ll bounce back some.
by Caseys Kiss of Death on Apr 28, 2008 8:50 PM PDT up reply actions
Game by Game ERAs for Moseley this year
1) 9.00
2) 6.00
3) 9.00
4) 7.71
5) 5.40
I don’t see anything there. Moseley’s best ERA in a single game this year is approximately the same as Garland’s SEASON ERA.
by Caseys Kiss of Death on Apr 28, 2008 8:53 PM PDT up reply actions
Well that number is dropping Garland is getting punished by a pathetic offense
Sea-at-ha-ha-ha that's funny.
It's hovering at 'intolerable', and is consistently bad.
Moseley sucks. It’s a fact of life. He pitches to line-drive contact. Garland may suck, but he has a track record that says that he doesn’t always suck. Moseley’s sucking isn’t pre-dated by a non-suck track record.
by Caseys Kiss of Death on Apr 28, 2008 8:57 PM PDT up reply actions
If you would really, honestly rather have Moseley on your team
than I don’t know how to help you. Moseley is the same kind of awful everywhere…even in the bullpen last year he eventually became hittable.
Garland has never had a full season as bad as how he’s been in a few starts to open this year. I tend to think that veterans are allowed a few bad starts early before we get a lynch mob out.

I hope he pinch hits an inanimate carbon rod for Quinlan
same result, likely.

we need to get as many runs as possible so we can watch garland try and give them all back

Turning into?
when has he been anything but a .220 hitter who walks, ks, and homers a lot?

Fat Ass Thomas better not hit for the cycle!!!!!!
Just got here…....How the hell did he hit a Triple?
Put Kendry Morales at 1B, and move Sean Rodriguez to 3B......NOW LETS GO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Vlad "do or die"
on a lazy pop fly…he overran it and Thomas was able to nearly WALK to third. He did a horrible slide as he went into 3rd and the throw wasn’t even close.
Arte, please buy the Angels back from the Red Sox...they've owned us long enough.

He has never hit 20
You are thinking of Dee, his is with the Bees. This is Emil.

is actually a decent enough hitter, off and on.

15, 17
In two seasons, plus over 30 doubles in both. 113, 109 OPS+ in those years. Not a bad pickup.
Honestly, he’s the least sucky of the three guys we’ve served up taters to tonight.
~Till the Halo burns out...
Okay he is decent I will give you that.
Fremont scrap heap scores again.

F^ck this Im gonna go to the Rec Center at CSUF and play some Raquet ball, then Rock Climb

I'm honestly curious
how does a somewhat worthless, frequently relocated franchise like the Athletics without a dominant winning tradition in recent memory have such a strong e-presence on the internet exactly? Athletics Nation is ridiculously active, despite no one ever appearing at the park, and without any real reason for bandwagoners to exist. It’s seriously confusin.

It DID turn into a spring training game at 10-2.
Bootcheck shoulda been pulled out at that point, but there was nobody even warming in the ‘pen at that time.

oh boo fudging hoo
The poor stat heads will not have a keen grasp on how great we are because they don’t watch the damn games. PLEASE save your tears, Casey.
Think of the increasing numerator!!
The fraction can’t support it for much longah!!
Chart it up! Game on!

Did you get a bunch of smoke in South LA from that fire on Gage this afternoon Rev?
Scioscia, "Roll the hole!"
So right now our number one is the guy that wouldn't have made the
rotation if myspaceobar and thunder were healthy. Our number 2 was a head case on the road and in the day time, and our number three is slower to home plate than benji molina rounding 3rd. Number 4 and 5 are the space shuttles challenger and columbia.
How the hell are we the second best record in the AL?
Because our offense
has been Apollo 11 instead of 13.

That was a pretty efficient at bat.
Some kind of community service on behalf of the few attendees remaining to be heckled by all four A’s fans in teh stadium, hurtling the team even faster to the end of the game.
I guess that would be...me?
I noticed that the A’s offensive rip concluded precisely at the same time as my arrival. Next time, I need to ditch the piano lessons.
i wear my figgy hat with shame
worse game ive ever attended… makes me 0 for 3 on the season …. highlight of the game was def. the lil pudge running down the 3rd base line and chugging his lil vitamin water frantically after barely making it
