Gameday Thread: (10/1/23 noon start time) A's @ Angels: Fulmer starting, no Schanuel

[jsnpritchett]

It's over.  73-89, so same record as last year.

Nevin watch and Minasian watch begin now!  I'm heading to the grocery store: will they both still be employed when I return?

[eligrba4ever]

IT'S OVER!!! LIGHT IT UP OR DON'T.

 

[eligrba4ever]

An  era just ended in SF when Crawford was pulled in the 9th and walked off into retirement to a standing ovation.

[daygloman]

Light up the Halo for the last time in "23".

Go Halos!

OK TY as I said you add lot of information to AW.

Same record as 2022, but moved up FOUR lottery slots to #6.

The Drive for Five truly happens during the winter meetings.

Sat front row to send them off today. 
 

After the game As players were taking photos and talking to the fans on the field. Not an Angel in sight lol

Drive for Five = having the draft lottery draw move the Halos into the top 5 picks in the 2024 draft.

They can’t have a top five pick next year. So rooting for a tank is meaningless.

Uhh, it’s only meant for the next draft.

Let that draft be another piece of the puzzle, with an eye on staying healthy in 2024 for a change and finishing over .500 for a real change.

[fan_since79]

Going forward...

Step 1: finish over .500

Step 2: finish in third place

Step 3: get at least the 3rd wild card

Ok. But they can’t have back to back years of being in the lottery being that they are high revenue team.

interesting. 

i would've responded earlier but i had to make a quick run to mcdonald's for some fries.

they were delicious, maybe the best fries ever.

[Blarg]

Last night my wife had fries with her meal at Fishwives in Pasadena. They were simply the best french fries I've ever tasted. Even 20 minutes after her meal was served they were still crispy on the outside while being moist on the inside. These were from fresh cut potatoes but they obviously have some sort of prep that make them so good. 

Maybe @Stradling can pose as a busboy and get the recipe for In N Out.
