Big John owns the A's

It's gotta be Lackey.
He sounds like Kermit the Frog and Bill Gates’ love child

Hey
We got the best record in the AL again.
vladtheimpaler - August 26, 2008
It's not even fair for the A's to play against Lackey
Torii Hunter is also a tough dude.
TheTypingFiend - August 26, 2008
I had visions
of Kotchman’s concussion when that ball hit Torii

Ditto
In the post game interview Lackey said they were raggin on Reggie because he had to come out of the game “for way less then that”. Haha.
ReggieBullits - August 26, 2008
How about Howitzer coming through in the 2 hole?!
The future’s so bright…I gotta weaaar shaaaades.

great to see at the ballpark
the transplant Green Weenies have clearly given up on this season. i saw hardly any green uni’s in the stands tonight, and not a peep from them (not that they had anything to cheer about, really).

Fun Night
at the Big A, that’s for sure. I was surprised at how few people were in attendance; under 38,000. Indeed, the Oakland fans probably stayed home.
Lackey sure was dominant; I can only recall one 3-ball count all night, though there might have been a couple more.
The only disappointment, if you can call it that, is that Lackey decided to throw a fastball to Cust when he was down 0-2. At that point, he should be getting a steady diet of curves.

Correction
Not that I want to take points away from myself, but per my scorecard, Teixeira only reached safely once, on a 3rd inning single. He also reached via fielders’ choice in the 8th, but that doesn’t count as reaching safely (hit, walk, HBP – same things that go into OBP). A fielders’ choice is an out.
jjackflash - August 27, 2008
Let's keep the Office of the Border Patrol out of this.
I want my Tex.
Stirrups - August 27, 2008
Hm...
That may be true… But I’ve kept this stance before in previous games and I’m just going to keep it rolling, so that it stays constant (and to avoid remembering wrongly in the future)
I’ve basically had in mind that: “reaching safely” means that they got on base someway somehow…
If Rev agrees with your stance, I will change it, but that’s the scorer’s decision :)
I absolutely do appreciate the note though, thanks! Glad to see people keeping tabs on me!

The Horse!

hahahahaha that's amazing!!!
was that from last year when Vlad almost charged that guy?
man, Lackey is an animal! where’d you find that?
howiestheman - August 27, 2008
A buddy at work
sent it to me.
Yeah, it’s a picture of Lackey from the Capillo head-hunting Vladdy incident against the Mariners last year. Pretty funny. Big John seemed to take it personally when Campillo made repeated pitches for their franchise players’ head. I like that.
All the guys on the Mariners are like “Oh shit! Hold him back!” BAA!
Scuff - August 27, 2008
that's beautiful
the best part about that (that’s not pictured) is Campillo backing up when Vlad walked out, then backing up way more when Lackey came out.
howiestheman - August 27, 2008
That's a must have!
Do you have a hi-res version? Email it to me? Please?
ReggieBullits - August 27, 2008
I don't think
that the original is much bigger, but let me see if I can upload it to Image-Shack or someting and then I’ll post the URL here.
