The Oakland A's Are Stoned
Listed in:This weekend, I attended the Saturday afternoon tilt in San Francisco between my Giants and the Oakland A's. Suffice to say, I did not have a pleasant day in the sun, and was reduced to seeking relief from the hometown nine. However, I found it quickly, because the Athletics have the goofiest MLB portraits in baseball, and AT&T Park's brand new scoreboard gave my group a high-definition look at their lineup.
Behold! The goofiest-looking Athletics in all their glory. Sportszilla welcomes your suggestions for captions.
A sphincter says what?
And I guess that was your accomplice in the woodchipper.
We'll just tell your mother that we ate it all.
Wanna go to White Castle?
You look like Robin Williams's knuckles.
Bonus fun with photos: Whoever built this display of Giants-related books at a San Jose Borders probably doesn't realize the irony. (Click photo to enlarge.)

Travis Buck has quite the Yahoo StatTracker photo as well.

Maybe somebody farted, bare-assed, on Kotsay's pillow.

Seriously, dude, how could you neglect Travis Buck?

He looks like Jeff Spicoli, except having even MORE fun.

I think Buck just looks a lot like the blonde guy from "Taxi". He's just got a big smile, not really impaired in any way. Go to Some Guy's link to the headshots, and Bobby Kielty, on the other hand...

i was at the game sunday and i had the same thought. so if the a's are high on, presumably, weed, then the giants, who couldn't hit slowpitch softball, must be on, ugh, coke?

What a crappy series for the Giants. Glad you could take solace in thos sweet pics, though. The team photographer should be fired.
On an unrelated note, I've started what I hope will be a lively discussion on my blog about the definition of a sport. Future installments will include discussions about individual games/sports/activities, but for now we're just laying a foundation. Care to join?

I like how the (Pressbox MLB Site) says "To get a mugshot of the desired player or coach". Bad choice of words, in my opinion, but it rates high on the unintentional Comedy Scale! (Maybe the editor used to work for "the Smokinggun.com"?
