  1. I agree completely, but isn't that what they're in the process of doing? They let Richards and Shoemaker walk. I have not heard anyone talk about extending Heaney, Skaggs or Tropeano. (Admittedly I could have missed something.) If those guys can't stay healthy, don't we expect the Angels to let them walk, too?
  2. It doesn't seem possible that anyone could be slower than AP... but after that play, I honestly think Bour is slower. He looked like he was dragging one of those resistance parachutes behind him.
  3. They should get that printed on their hoodies this year.
  4. It's truly atrocious. Many of these pitches he's calling strikes are more than a baseball out of the zone.
  5. I agree. Most of my friends have never seen it or even heard of it. If I remember correctly, it came out just after 9/11 and a movie about the moral ambiguity of a CIA operation was not something the public wanted to see. A couple of years ago at Christmas I gave my brother some framed film cells from an original print of Spy Game. He has them hanging on his wall at work because we loved that movie so much back in the day.
  6. It would be cool if he showed up unexpectedly because I had drunkenly purchased him one night and forgot about it. Like my Mike Trout socks.
  7. I agree, however he made it out of the first in under 30 pitches, so it's not an exact replica.
  8. After seeing one championship in the first 33 years of being a fan, I can't imagine anything lessening the satisfaction of winning "a couple" more in a five-year period. If anything, it would be more fun to say to my friends who are A's fans: "Don't be mad just because our owner is willing to spend money for his fans."
  9. I had to run out for a minute (well, In-n-Out on a Saturday night, so more than a minute) and missed that part. The gamecast reads that Upton only advanced from second to third on Simba's double to "deep center." Is there something I'm missing? Was it really THAT terrible of a read? I mean, not like that one run means anything at this point.
  10. I didn't realize how true this is until I just tried to remember every one going back to '02. I got last year (which undoubtedly I would have forgotten by next season), '02 (which I will never forget for obvious reasons), Freese in '11... and that's it. I'd completely forgotten about the legendary performances from Sandoval and Bumgarner in '12 and '14.
  11. He had one at Oakland in April of '13 that was the longest I remember him hitting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZvKa3doOZ4
