The 2012 Oakland A's Official Thread

Green & Gold Heart · 03-28-2012, 07:14 AM

I almost bumped the offseason thread and then realized, I'm watching a regular season game at this ungodly hour!

Go A's - let's win a couple and spend a week in sole possession of first.

First MLB hit for Cespedes is a double over the CF's head off Felix Hernandez.

Green & Gold Heart · 03-28-2012, 10:18 AM

Blech. First loss.

Cheer up, at least you saw some baseball in March. And there are 161 games left. And it was against King Felix. And Ackley is gooooood.

Feel better?

Ugh I just saw Colon is starting tomorrow...

Green & Gold Heart · 03-28-2012, 10:47 AM

It is going to be a long season...

Do opposing pitchers really want to deal with our killer 3-4-5 hitters of:
Coco Crisp, Seth Smith, and Kurt Suzuki?

No. I think not.

Rizon · 03-28-2012, 12:50 PM

Pathetics off to a good start.

I'm sure Jason Tyner is available!

Green & Gold Heart · 03-28-2012, 07:08 PM

He will only sign if we promise him a bobblehead day.

Faroo6 · 03-28-2012, 11:59 PM

I guess I should have posted in here too last night. Lord knows I filled up the AN game thread. A tired stupor will do that to you. But since I like punishment apparently, I will be up at 2am to watch tonights/tomorrows contest.

Faroo6 · 03-29-2012, 06:45 AM

It's sooo early and our offense got left in the states.

Green & Gold Heart · 03-29-2012, 06:53 AM

I'm toughing it out again this morning. So far same as yesterday. They sure picked the two worst offenses in baseball for this one.

ukhotstove · 03-29-2012, 06:55 AM

Wimps

2am is the norm for us over here.

Faroo6 · 03-29-2012, 07:10 AM

From AthleticsNation game thread this morning.

Dear Japan
We have baseball teams here that can really hit, we promise. Sorry we didn’t send any of those teams.

Regretfully yours,

I can't believe it's faster than yesterday's game. Get a 1-0 A's victory by 4am at this pace and I can get some more sleep.

Green & Gold Heart · 03-29-2012, 07:31 AM

Jemile, Brad Pitt pays you to get to first, not get thrown out at second!

Green & Gold Heart · 03-29-2012, 07:52 AM

CESPEDES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That woke me up!

Green & Gold Heart · 03-29-2012, 08:39 AM

Yay! Glad I at least got up early for a win this time.

Now to try to go back to sleep after 3 cups of coffee. Not sure that it's gonna happen.
