2nd half of our left coast swing....A's 25-27 of Aug

[donaldson79]

playing it at TEX is a possibility, but yet to be finalized.

Just saw the crawl and the game has been moved to "Dallas." Wonder where they're really playing? ha ha

Poor Arlington. Swear, they get absolutely no credit or respect.

So much for that angels series.


The A's are tearing this team a new one.

It is a good story isn't it?

But I went online to check Big Boog's BBQ place b/c I'd heard some mixed reviews from fellas who'd eaten there. So I stumbled upon it by accident. Glad I did though.

I saw Boog play on numerous occasions and I think he was the first guy I ever saw when I thought, "he's built like a refrigerator. No matter what position you approach him from he's exactly the same size."

I was surprised to find out Boog the elder actually played over 300 games in LF when he first came up, but then he came up at the ripe old age of 19.

You noticed? lol

We just need to be a much better team and rebuilding/retooling is the best way, or maybe the only way, to achieve that.

Hey guys, let's not forget that Rev Sader lives in Houston. Here's hoping he is doing well and staying SAFE. If he sees this post maybe he will let us know if he can.

Does Rev live in Houston or Austin? I was thinking Austin, but I could very well be mistaken.

Definitely Houston

Yeah, he probably only weighed 225 then. ha

But you're absolutely correct. That's shocking to me actually. And frankly, something I didn't know until today.

Roogie that was near the strike zone.

 

[donaldson79]

Odor looks like he's regressed immensely this season to me.

I know a few months ago Elvis was talking about how getting a new, big contract effected him for a few years. Perhaps this is what's happened with Roggie.

But honestly, I was never in favor of giving him that contract from the git-go. Odor that is.

This team needs a lot of work to get them back in contention.

Could not agree more.

Maybe Beasley needs to tell Roogie that he's not that good like he did with Elvis a few years ago.

Good pickup Duane .....I'd completely forgotten this........And it seemed to work like a charm.

He's in a bad way right now

He's in a bad way right now

You're being really nice today......He's had days/games/even weeks, but overall, this season has been a disaster for both Odor, and JD for giving him the bucks IMO.

Given the current state of MLB contracts, even with Odors performance this year, and it's not a bad contract yet.

OK......Then we'll label it "yet-to-be-determined."..........But what a horrid way to begin it.....My biggest rub about the "situation" is, I saw no reason nor encouragement to want to nail down Odor for the long term........HOPE I'M PROVEN WRONG.

It's funny... i think I view Odor the way you do Perez, and vice versa.
