Nice game by Parker in a tough park

JP showing up!

Way to stop that nasty 3 game skid.


Coco needs to go go, on the real. [Stephen A Smith] HE CAN'T HIT, HE CAN'T RUN, HE CANT GET ON BASE! HE CAN STEAL BASES, BUT YOU GOTTA GET ON BASE TO DO THAT! THE MAN'S A SCRUB, HE CAN'T PLAY! [/Stephen A. Smith]

Once Manny time comes, I think the offense will be decently fun to watch, and that's all I'm asking.

 You have Stephen A. Smith on point. Coco needs to be gone.
I like the Inge pickup, his bat is currently non-existent but his defense is there. I believe he will give us some offensive life soon.

1 hit to Poo holes, and 1 hit to Ortiz.  I'll take it. 

.500 when everyone pegged us to be at about .250 right around now

Also, anyone know where I can snag that throwback fitted? I need to build my A's hat collection. Only Have these 2 so far:

 

[urb]

My birthday is on May 8th, maybe I'll catch the A's play the Blue Jays.
Edit: I haven't collected any SGA in a while..

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

I want that throwback fitted, too. It looked too clean.

John, what did you do with that A's logo you cut out of one of your hats? I remember you did that because the hat was super worn out or something?

 

[shaunhillftw49]

Well I get my hats from the bart ramp

 

[wearinthefourfive]

I bought this hat during one of New Era's 50% off sales last year, and I don't think I've worn it yet. I wanted the 1989 one, but they were sold out.

It was the first Black/Green A's hat, damn that was a while back I'm surprised you still remember that.

 

[shaunhillftw49]

^89 is nice Wearin
Would wear one to the  Battle of the Bay

 

[johnson1]

Lets hope Jemile can get rolling.

You guys think Yoenis has a good shot at AL ROY?

 

[wearinthefourfive]

If I ever get the ban hammer again, I'm coming back as "Let Ryan Cook"

Taylor up again (for realz this time) and Coco on the DL (I say DFA him).

####, I hope not. Or else I'm going to have to use a back up SN.

 

[GreenNGold89]

I heard the chairman and CEO of Clorox are trying to keep the A's in Oakland. Man, I just want this $*%$ to be a over and tell us where we can builda new stadium. This $*%$ is ridiculous.

Anyways, Ross getting worked out there. Back to back @%%%%$ starts.

 

[wearinthefourfive]

I'm tired of this whole charade that people keep putting on about keeping the A's in Oakland; its not gonna happen!*



*Unless, out of the blue, Lew Wolff sells the team to a multi billionaire like Larry Ellison who would fund a stadium himself.
