I've also seen a Mariners jersey in the crowd. The hell is going on in Lakeview tonight? Now everyone wants to be [insert team name] Man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unocal Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 23 hours ago, Digby said: I hear you and agree, but the blind squirrels find nuts sometimes, and we can separate trolling from justified trepidation. This Red Sox team has blown it in the playoffs twice before, and has a very iffy record against playoff teams this season, and the pitchers have nothing nice to hang their hats on. Maybe Cora managing and Martinez bashing will get them over the hump, maybe they'll return to a more positive mean, but I don't think bracing for a rough impact is out of nowhere in this case. The Red Sox OTOH might have a better shot against Oakland given their less-than-reliable pitching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey, they got their tiebreaker moment at Wrigley so that's something. Do we even have any Brewer fans here on the boards? I can't think of anyone who considers themselves a fan who posts here regularly. oh no no no hahahahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wings Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 A's losing to the Yankees in the playoffs is a time honored tradition. What's that 0 for 4 now. 1981, 2000, 2001, 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Houston Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I thought this randomly while tuning in for an inning last night: I'm surprised Oakland, or some Oakland based artist, has never tried to produce shirts with Fonzi on a motorcycle, decked out in A's gear. Sure, it's a little conceptual and on the nose, but if I was an A's fan, I'd definitely get one. "And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life... You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure. But don't worry... you will someday." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted October 4, 2018 Author Share Posted October 4, 2018 I’ve thought that. It’s just too dad jokey. I remember few years ago at a Halloween party a guy came dressed in full Fonz getup with an A’s logo emblazoned on the jacket. Instead of being funny, it just came across as some weird convoluted nerd :censored:. He had to explain the gag to at least 80% of the people there who had absolutely no idea who “The Fonzy” was. If there’s ever anything out there that kills a joke and ALWAYS makes you look like a huge nerd, it’s having to constantly explain it.

That surprises me considering he's like one of the Top 10 most iconic TV characters in the last 50 years. Like if you had to try and name a character that would be widely known to most people, Fonzi would've been one of my Top 5 guesses. Additionally, you're totally right on the dad joke/nerd joke angle, but you have to own it, yknow? Maybe this is just the way I see as a nerd and eventual dad, but I'm becoming more comfortable with embracing my awkwardness. "I'm not cool?" Good. I never was and I don't intend to be now. Now going back to the topic at hand, it's really crazy that the Brewers were walking a tightrope and nearly blew another great pitching performance because Blackmon's hit was juuuuuuust a bit outside in the Top of the 9th. If the Cinderellas north of the border want to make a serious run at whoever emerges from the AL thunderdome, they have got to get that bullpen on lockdown.

FiddySicks Posted October 5, 2018 Author Share Posted October 5, 2018 Oh yeah absolutely. I’m basically Tom Prichard from that Geico commercial at this point. I was also fathered by the absolute KING of the dad joke. I’d be disrespecting him greatly if I didn’t at least try to continue that legacy.
