Blame of the Game: John Lackey
wow. bad. If this had been an actual pennant race there would have been smashed television sets throughout Southern California. Of course, if this had been an actual pennant race, the Salt Lake Bees would not have been the starting lineup this late in the season.
A few good things like Kendry's HR and Aybar's return balance with a Bulger meltdown, a Lackey going thru the nibbling motions (unless he is imitating Weaver's pitch count intensity) and a sonambulist offense.
When Lackey faltered I sort of offered this game up to the baseball gods, saying "We may need a Lackey start in Oakland in 2009 or 2010 to be flawless and if we are to lose this one now as a deposit in the bank of regression, so be the depositors"... Funny how a little prayer now and then go a long, long way. But if only my prayers to win in Vegas were answered so quickly...

That picture made me laugh. I was there when this happened. It was quite funny to the cops handcuffing Mickey Mouse.

All you have to do to beat the A's is score two runs and throw strikes
They did neither.

Too bad
That all this happened on a night when I’m pretty positive that Acuda was losing his mind when K-Mo hit that bomb to center in the 6th.
Poor guy.
halofan4life - September 16, 2008

HighlandHalo is getting a medal from the Queen of England
Since the game is kind of meh, and he’d never mention it because he’s publicity shy, I’d like to tell you guys that Halos Heaven’s own HighlandHalo practically became Charles Bronson recently, and kicked two people off of a bus in London. One was a knife wielding psycho, the other a Muslim that said he was going to kill everybody. He took action and after police reviewed the cctv tapes, they decided he deserves a medal. The Sun in London also wanted to interview him, but he said he was kinda shy, and still shaken up by it.
I know this sounds like I’m BS’in but it’s true. Ask Ladybug…as far as I know we’re the only ones he’s told the story to.

Thanks for the medal Stirrups
It’s nice of you. It’s a true story, but nothing anybody else would have done. Just the only guy in the vicinity at the time who could do anything about it. Cheers, mate. hh

Cheers to you
Awesome story and there are a lot of people who would have turned their cheek and walked the hell away. Good on you and a pronounced tip of my cap in your honour. PANTHER!

If panther comes from Queen Elizabeth ... does it count?
I’m supposed to bow or some sort of shit like that. I like panther better than the Queen’s damn medal.
highlandhalo - September 17, 2008
