ESPN: A's, Kielty avoid arbitration, agree to one-year deal

Jeezuz Bolt Bot we went to arbitration with eight fucing players and you gotta post about this guy? Do I know you from the strike3forums? Everybody over there knows how I feel about Ronald Fucing MacDonald and guess what? He's the dude my son and I saw at fanfest like four fucing times.

If you ever want a good laugh Bolt Bot just watch this guy try and field a fly ball.

$2.1 million for Kielty. :icon_evil: I swear Billy Beane has a hard-on for this dude.

Bum.

Check that we avoided arbitration with most of them because Billy Beane pastes motherfuggers in arbitration but the list was LONG for arbitration eligible players.

FU Bolt Bot now you got me all fuced up.

The Bot'sza Muther Fuq'er!!:icon_eek: :yes: :icon_rofl: :icon_tease:

Bolt Bot I hate you! One day you will get yours. :icon_evil:

You rust bucket basturd may it rain on you for 40 days and 40 nights I hate you...

In honor of Bolt Bot and Concudan I'm gonna make this my official A's thread for the year.

:icon_eek: :icon_shrug: :icon_huh: :icon_rofl:

Milton Bradley will be in the running for the AL MVP this year. Bank it.

That's a rather bold statement!! :icon_eek:

Moneyball is changing a bit and the A's will come out swinging and running in April. Milton may be a nut but dude has mad talent and would have been the ALCS MVP had anyone else done anything at the plate for the A's.

The Tigers actually got better this offseason. :icon_eek: :icon_evil:

Harden has 25 strikeouts in 13 2/3 innings this spring.

Swisher, Ellis and Johnson went back-to-back-to-back last night.

Reg season almost here!!

Are they Padres?

No they can actually hit........:icon_tease: :lol:

A's?

Um yeah sorta (unless they're playing the Tigers in the ALCS and their name ISN'T Milton Bradley)....... :icon_evil: :lol:

Tony LaRussa got popped for DUI :icon_eek: :yes:

I know and I'm a little shocked; he's such a standup guy here in the Bay Area. :icon_sad:

I think this news stunned everyone in the MLB world :icon_eek: :yes: :icon_sad:

Milton Bradley is on fire!!! :yes:

Angels can eat a dik. :yes:

Say it isn't so K-Rod.......:icon_rofl:

Angels closer cheating? MLB checking it out

Major League Baseball confirmed Thursday morning that it is investigating if Los Angeles Angels closer Francisco Rodriguez doctored the baseball during two appearances against the Rangers this week.

A Web site, The Cheater's Guide to Baseball Blog, accused Rodriguez of having a substance under the bill of his cap and using it as he closed games Monday night and Wednesday afternoon.

Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said he was alerted to the site on Wednesday, but he said the team didn't contact MLB about Rodriguez.

Pat Courtney, a spokesman for Major League Baseball, said the office found out about the allegation Thursday and Bob Watson, in charge of discipline, is checking on it. Watson will review video of the games and could talk to umpires and players. If evidence shows that Rodriguez did put a substance on the baseball, in violation of rule 8.02b, he could face up to a 10-game suspension.

Rodriguez allowed one run on two hits in Wednesday's game and got the save. He was perfect in the ninth inning on Monday night, including a strikeout.

What John Lackey drilled Nick Swisher last night? No way!! Lackey can eat a dik. He's gonna get one his better teammates hurt. :yes:

:icon_rofl: :icon_huh: :icon_rofl:

Hey New York have a nice flight!!!! :icon_rofl: :icon_rofl: :lol:

:icon_rofl:

Scutaro!!

Scutaro has nine walk-off hits in his brief career. Why Crosby isn't on the bench and Scutaro isn't starting is beyond me. This was fun but I think the A's are in for rough ride this year unless about half the team hits the needle (a shitload of injuries already ).

But today we'll just say Yuck the Fankees.
