Sometimes, the Condiment Bar e’ts *you*

1. Still no word on who’s being called up to take Gallagher’s spot on the active roster.
2. Isn’t it a little early in the season for the annual Jersey Jack Custs off-day-filler piece? Though I did like this:

There was no flooring, however. It was all rocks.
“You’d hit a grounder, it would hit a rock and come back and smash you in the face,” Cust said. “That’s how I got a little uppercut in my swing. No groundballs. I didn’t want to get hit in the face.”

3. RIP Jack Cardiff. Gawd, do I love Black Narcissus.
4. I do not disagree at all with this.
5. Leopold Bloom bait: Buck naked — in more ways than one
6. Delicate flowers encased in candy-glass

Travis Buck Death Watch

The Buckless Trip: game thread 042109

I’ve never been a fan of Buck, but this is ridiculous.

Condiment Bar 042008: cuteness overload

And remember, I still have baby pictures to deploy as part of my armamentarium.

Late-night contentious open thread

Eh, fuck all you dicks CROSBY SUCKS!!!

A’s-Jays Giese Chavez Jeez Louise … aka game thread 041809

Blevins down, Giese up (yep, no lefty in the ‘pen)

Nomar still hurtin’ … no news on Chavez, but Slusser expects one of ’em to be DL’ed (my guess, following 74mk: Chavvy DL’ed Monday … and Nomar DL’ed Friday [after playing once between now and then])

Aaaaaaaaaand — still no Buck in the lineup. For frak’s sake, Billy, send him down, play him, or trade him. On the other hand: Cust up to #5! And against a lefty!

Double Thread!!!
I now give you the same info and jokes as monkeyball.-mikeA
Nomar with some more calf tightness; Giese replaces Blevins in the pen
Pronunciation Guide: “Giese’s viece is being forced to retire and sell cars filled with miece.” Giece does not rhyme with Nice.

Jays feature 9 or so guys who will ground out weakly.

“Put me in, coach” is the heartbreaking caption to this photo from the clubhouse.

Condiment Bar 041609: morons abound

You have got to be shitting me.

That’s all I got. The Condiment Bar is open.

A’s 8, Douchebags 2

041209 game thread: silence, all ye naysayers!

If the A’s get swept by the Mariners in the Coliseum, mikeA is really gonna hurt someone

On the other hand, Jaymee Sire is dressed like a bondage A’s Munchkin today, so that might keep him happy.
