Did one of the Angels announcers just suggest that Japan was a U.S. Territory? I can't tell if they're MORONS or trying to be funny.
Since I hate them, I'm going with the former. (They have got to be the second most obnoxious homers after the Chicago White Sox broadcast team.)
Color guy also keeps saying "EX-scaped a jam" and I want to punch him in the throat.
And I am really trying tonot wish injury on Crosby have patience with Bobby, but damn. I'm cringing any time a ball heads in his general direction.
eta:
Oh, wow, Z. Eight earned runs in 6 innings? That's....unfortunate.
Also, the Yankees seem to be dropping like flies. Which, you know, my heart bleeds.

Him and Burke are killing meeeee. Anything hit to center is like, automatic hit, go ahead and run, man on first. You're not gonna get doubled up.
Angels announcers are morons, yes. I dunno how many times they've messed up A's names, and I've only watched 5 or 6 of their broadcasts.

Yes! And I feel bad for him, cause they keep zooming in on his face, and it totally sucks for him, but guy, we're trying to win a couple games this season.
Of course, now that the A's have pulled it out, I can hope for a good home opener for him. It just needs to stop being one thing after the other.
Did you wear your Zito shirt today? Because if anyone's gonna need some good vibes for the postgame, it's gonna be Barry William.

Once again: I am bad Zito luck.
Harden shirt is saved for tomorrow. I'm not last in my fantasy league, despite Biggio's THREE STRIKEOUTS today. Tell me again why he's our lead-off guy? Yeah.

How do you mean this exactly?
HA! The lying scroll box of ex-fandoms isn't so much of a liar anymore! WOOT! You notice how into the body kissing the Taylors are? All that hand, neck, arm, biceps, shoulder, top-of-the-head smoochin'? Freaks.

lol, I figured that would make you happy.

It's not freaky! It's an adorable way of communicating their intimacy and TWU LUV :P

That's how he repays me for giving in & adding him to my fantasy league. Psssh. I see how it is, Barry.

I haven't seen one game and thee funny thing is that I already paid for them :(

I wanted to hit them, they were so annoying.
But it was a good game, I was on the edge of my seat, and when Blanton came out of the game, I was so nervous that the Angels were going to tie, I had to walk away from my computer.
Will you watch tomorrow? Rich is pitching!

Bobs scares me everytime he walks onto the field or goes anywhere near the ball. Back spasms already, jeez.

What they might want to do is DL the entire starting rotation. Seriously, how can you spend, what is it? 170 million? and still not have reliable pitching? Not that I care about it, just saying.

*cringe* I'm sorry, I hate to have to ask favors, but I was hoping you could help me out with something! I lost a whole bunch of videos when I backed up and erased my hard drive, and thought I saved everything but a few things were lost, including all Barry Zito videos I had. I know you sent me a few before, so if you by any chance would be able to upload any you have, I would be so grateful! I don't know what I would really do in return (unless you can think of something better) but if you'd like, you could request icons of any Barry pictures you particularly like, and I'll get right on that :D Or, yeah, seriously, anything else you would rather have in return? Thank you so much! I miss the dude :P At least I got to see him more often when the A's played against the Angels.

Are you interested just in interview-type things, or would you also be interested in clips from games?
I might maybe have a pic or two around that I would love to see iconned - could they be of an ex-A not named Barry? ;)
From:
no subject
Actually, pretty much anything would be great, whatever you can spare time for. But I think if you're going to pick and choose, I think interviews are good, and also anything you think is a good watch, I guess. :) Actually, in particular, I was looking for this very short clip of Barry making a pitch and the hitter hitting the ball, but Barry immediately caught it backhanded. I found it off Youtube, but now it's gone! And yeah, I'm totally willing to wait for the uploads :D
Sure! I feel like I definitely ought to do something in return. Just let me know what/who you want the icons to be of :D

That sounds vaaaaaaaguely familiar. Have you tried the top plays archives over on Oakland's site? If you find it over there, I'm happy to rip it for you.
As it turns out, I had to come back to campus to pick up some research, so I grabbed my external hd and here's the first batch:

You absolutely rock. This time I'm going to be smart and actually put it on my external HD as well.
*Snort* Too artsy for life.
Also, don't mind my icon too much, I made this manip in order to give nightmares to one of my friends who loves the Angels but hates Barry and his face, and then... it kind of just backfired because now it just makes me sad. :( He'll never be on my team.
From:
no subject
Dude, never say never! He might not see the full seven years in San Fran ;) He's not off to the best of starts.
My external is really, really poorly organized, but I found a few more vids.
