Oakland A's 2005 season official thread - Page 22

Funny A's related story:

A couple weeks ago I posted here about the jersey I wanted to get. I decided on Swisher and put in the order on mlb.com's shop. I waited and waited. I was originally going to Friday's White Sox/A's game, but all the good seats were gone and I didn't have the jersey yet anyway so last Thursday I bought tickets for yesterday's game. I went with a friend, cheered the A's, and did so in just an A's hat (well, I had on other clothes, but not the jersey).

Today the mail comes. Sure enough, the jersey is here. I would've loved to have had it on yesterday since Swisher had one of his better games. Oh well. I might make a road trip to Detroit in late August to see the A's. If not then, I'll probably go to a game against the Mariners in late September/early October when I'm back at school.

Stupid mlb.com and their one-day-too-slowness

That's too bad. It seems I've had similar problems to. Never fails it's a day late.

Good choice on the Swisher jersey. You've got a guy who is a) going to be an A for a long time and b) going to be good for a long time.

I ended up tying a fantasy match-up yesterday because Huston friggin' Street had to pitch all those innings and get a win!

Those were two factors. Plus, there aren't thousands of Swisher jerseys all over the place. I'll probably get another one this summer, but it's very difficult choosing a player on this team. There's so many young, likable players.

Barring something unforseen, this team is going to be so good next year. I could see them being as good as '01 and '02.

Nah, you're all alone cuz everyone knows the A's always fold in the second half.

Now that's good comedy right there.
