Lounge 1/14/12 - Don't Fear the Reaper

When He opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, "Come and see." Another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword.

I seriously dislike the Rangers. Hearing they're losing, 1-0, heading into the ninth when heading into a meeting and emerging two hours later to find that the Rangers have won, sucks.

So, um, there was a baseball game and the right team won.
Unless, you know, you're like a Yankees fan. Then the wrong team won. But you don't have a soul anyhow if you're rooting for the Yankees, so go away, you soulless moron. Your team just paid ~$207 million and lost in the first round of the playoffs. Sorry. You'll buy another championship next season, Yankees.

In a winner-take-all slug fest, we have the unstoppable force of Doug Fister pitching for the Tigers.
Perhaps you didn't hear me. I said Doug. Fister.
If anything makes an Adonis like Derek Jeter quake in his boots, it's Doug Fister.

In a game that meant absolutely nothing, and the stakes so low, that another win or loss would mean even less, the A's dug deep and pulled out a victory.
Not just any victory, but one for the final jhome game of the season, rewarding the Coliseum faithful (I'm looking at you, Bryan) for showing up this season.
A's win, 4-3, defeating Texas and sending them home with their tail between their legs. See? They are evil: they have tails. You know who else has a tail? Satan. True story.

Game 155 - FRS @ Oakland - FRS Go for Sweep (sigh)
by Leopold Bloom on Sep 22, 2011 3:25 PM EDT
on Athletics Nation
One of the more depressing aspects of being a bad baseball team is that clubs that you don't like come into your park (or you go into theirs) and they beat the crap out of you. You wanna scream, "Hey, you guys suck and we really don't like you very much at all!" ..but then they beat you badly, and you kind of slink away, bleeding and whining and wishing you were more powerful than you are.
The A's are in the process of being beaten regularly by the neighborhood bully. The current neighborhood bully wears red, white and blue, plays in Arlington and has Josh Hamilton and Adrián Beltré playing for them. I dislike them greatly. As A's fans, I fully endorse you disliking them, too.
In fact, there are not many in the American League with which I have any affinity, unless the Rays can come back. Both the Rangers and the Angels making it would be good only in the sense that the Red Sox would be knocked out. The playoffs can make for strange bedfellows. I mean, if your team doesn't make it.
And your team ain't.

A's Win, Snap 12-Game Winning Streak by Tigers, Leyland's Chafing Finds Relief
by Leopold Bloom on Sep 16, 2011 1:29 AM EDT

So, apparently, the key is to not expect a win.
Maybe that's the key to life, too.
Three A's hit home runs. At home. At night. And they aren't named Josh Willingham or Hideki Matsui.
David DeJesus, who apparently has compromising pictures of Bob Melvin and is using them to leverage playing time for a new contract somewhere else next season, went yard. Kurt Suzuki, who has all the strength of a Pine Sol wannabe purchased at the dollar store for the last year and a half, went yard. And Cliff Pennington, who is morphing into Bobby Crosby more and more every day, went yard.
Wow.

Game 150 - Detroit @ Oakland - Open Game Thread - Hey, At Least it's not the Yankees Gonna Be Celebrating
by Leopold Bloom on Sep 15, 2011 9:52 PM EDT

Thirteen games left. Thirteen. The A's end in Seattle for three, where they go after three in Anaheim. They end their home stand with three versus Texas, and tonight they begin a four-game stand against Detroit.
Regardless of what you're rooting for, the opposition the rest of the way is tough. The only "easy" team is Seattle and they always manage to play hard against the A's.
And, if we play our cards right, and Texas and Anaheim comply, we could witness not one, but two teams clinch playoff berths while playing in Oakland! Joy!
