The Oakland Athletics 2013 Season Thread

[johnson1]

Of all the days to go in late, you choose a giveaway day with two great pitchers starting.

guys, come on.

It's just a blanket, there is no way in hell I'm going to stand in line at 11am to get a freaking blanket when I could be pounding beers and getting zooted on a beautiful Saturday. But hey to each his own, I just prefer to take my time going in...

**** the blanket, but going in late with Verlander and Anderson on the mound? C'mon man

**** pounding the beers, grab a bottle of Jameson or whatever you drink and get to the point...and you'll be in by 1

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Yeah... if I want to be drunk, I'd much rather get there with liquor than by drinking 5-7 beers.

 

[GreenNGold89]

I use to love beer but I can't stand drinking it at sporting events anymore. Gotta piss every 10 mins once you break seal.

 

[johnson1]

I don't know, I'm getting older, the straight liquor can be a tad rough on me nowadays. Especially when you mix it with the chiefin' , I don't want things to get out of hand.

Since temporarily taking over RF duties for Reddick, Young is 1-for-13 with 5 Ks. Average down to .192.

Good thing Reddick is coming back tomorrow. Let Chris back up center and be comfortable.

1-0, us.

 

[japanair21]

Pujols.

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Damn it.

1-1.

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Vargas keeping it close tonight. Staying true to his reputation.

I remember HATING whenever Kenny Rogers was going to pitch against us. He never ****ing lost.

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

DONALDSON!!!!!!

3-1 to the good guys

 

[japanair21]

Donaldson!!!

 

[GreenNGold89]

Nice to see Donaldson rip one.

FINALLY Young!

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Chris Young does not give a **** about the Angels.

5-1, good guys

 

[japanair21]

ATTA BOY CES!!!

Great to see Young get us some runs that last inning too.

 

[japanair21]

Chris Young does not give a **** about the Angels.

5-1, good guys

6-1*.

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Cespedes

6-1, Green and Gold on top.

 

[GreenNGold89]

Glad Ces got a hit but we need to see that **** with runners on in critical situations. Not worried about him coming around though.

BTW, this Angels bullpen is :x.

 

[wearinthefourfive]

Stupid senior design class went til 9:15, I missed most of the game. Glad to see nothing's changed though, hits on hits on hits. Griffin did his thing tonight too.

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

8-1 now.

The good guys winning again

 

[wearinthefourfive]

So much for that stereotypical slow start for the A's.

You still at SLO man? I'm heading back next month for beer fest.

Great job by Griffin , giving the bullpen some rest also.

 

[wearinthefourfive]

Yeah man, I'm graduating in the fall. I wish I could go to beerfest, our senior project is due that monday.
