A's wikipedia page

wiki

The “Athletics” name originates from the late 19th century “athletic clubs”, specifically the Athletic of Philadelphia. They are most prominently nicknamed “the A’s”, in reference to the blackletter “A”, a trademark of the team and the old Athletic of Philadelphia. This has gained very prominent use, and in some circles is used more frequently than the full “Athletics” name. They are also known as “the White Elephants” or simply “the Elephants”, in reference to then New York Giants’ manager John McGraw’s calling the team a “white elephant”. This was embraced by the team, who then made a white elephant the team’s mascot, and often incorporated it into the logo or sleeve patches.

Before Gus and Hrhthyhm trash the place

Things I learned here today:
1. SPods is getting on base several times per game, and providing much needed chemistry.
2. The Sox have a very tough June schedule.
3. Kenny has invited Frank to pose for a statue in a grass skirt.

I’m sure there’s more, but I forget.

Not sure I would call our June schedule very tough.

However I feel it might cause some problems especially vs. MIL, LAD, and the most important series with the 5 straight games against DET. There really isn’t much margin for error moving into July. I hope we can pull off a 27-12 record moving into the All-Star break. That would make me happy.

by Ahillock on Jun 2, 2009 7:05 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Never said it would be easy, I just hope we can.

If we can pull off 25-27 wins in June, with most of those against DET and CHC, I would be thrilled.

You mean from my previous post?

I think we might have trouble @ MIL and then when we face LAD. I also don’t know what to make of the 5 straight games against DET. I don’t think think it will be super tough, but it might cause some troubles. I really think the series against DET will show us what we are made of this year. That can give us the momentum we need going into the All-Star break.

by BuehrleMan on Jun 2, 2009 7:57 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

The thing is, Wise REALLY can't hit and he is worse in the field

I know Anderson isn’t good, but Wse has an OPS of .385 versus .704 for BA this season. I think their career OPS’s are both around.660 but BA’s is still higher (I think). Anyway, there’s no reason to play Wise over BA unless the pitcher REALLY sucks against lefties.

Had big posters over the basketball courts suggesting alternatives to curse words for awhile.

Keep in mind, the guys playing were big time street ballers. We would finish our work outs and then sit on the stands and watch these guys play because it was that awesome. If one of them busted out “fiddlesticks” they would be laughed out of the facility.
