asswads

Who's scheduled to pitch today??

I don't want to lose to Oakland. Even in Spring Training.

 

But knowing our luck against them, there's going to be a fluke play, umpire call, mysterious weather anamoly which turns the game in favor of Oakland.

 

Beat those scrubs, and if possible, stomp on a few.

Mark Buehrle faces Chad Gaudin.

So I guess i have no choice but to ask..."Phants"?

Their mascot. The elephant on the ball. Somebody had a good description as to why, but i'm not sure where it is.

their jersey patch I imagine. The elephant on top of the globe.

The old philly athletics had the elephant as a masccot. Oakland picked it up as well.

The A’s Elephant Mascot

 

After New York Giants manager John McGraw told reporters that Philadelphia manufacturer Benjamin Shibe, who owned the controlling interest in the new team, had a “white elephant on his hands," Mack defiantly adopted the white elephant as the team mascot, though over the years the elephant has appeared in several different colors (currently forest green). The A’s are sometimes, though infrequently, referred to as the Elephants or White Elephants.

 

The elephant was retired as team mascot in 1963 by then-owner Charles O. Finley in favor of a Missouri mule. In 1986, the elephant was restored as the symbol of the Athletics and currently adorns the left sleeve of home and road uniforms.

Paulie Doubles in Thome (I think) 1-0 Sox bottom of the 1st.

the A's broadcaster is terrible.

If he is, Oakland is insane. He shouldn't walk up to a real plate until July, IMO.
