The A’s Superfan Network Will Return Shortly

Posted at 4:23 pm on Thursday, September 7, 2006, in A's Superfan Network.

They say baseball is a metaphor for life. And if that is not what “they” say, then I’m saying it.

I was in attendance for my last A’s game of the season this past Tuesday (the A’s lost 5-4 to the Rangers). I went to the game with a few buddies of mine and I was able to podcast (albeit illegally) from the confines of the Oakland A’s coliseum as part of the growing A’s Superfan Network. The broadcasts, however, became relatively controversial, with respect to the content and language used, and I was forced to quickly cut transmission several times. Therefore (although the podcast files — all eighteen of them — are out swimming the internet stream as I type for anyone to listen), I will be putting together a compilation of the best moments, including the live podcast of Frank Thomas’ 30th home run of the season, an interview with a local transient, as well as all sorts of the politically-incorrect barbs that you have come to expect (and enjoy). Good stuff, trust me, because that will have to wait until I return.* Alright, alright… here’s a taste. (Yep, that’s him.)

* I will be on a brief four-week hiatus (let us call it a sabbatical; yes, I like that) for my coming wedding and subsequent honeymoon to the Spanish and French Mediterranean coast, plus Paris). As my fiancee said, “You are not blogging during our honeymoon.” Of course; but I plan on blogging the ceremony. No, I’m kidding. But I will be in Philadelphia all next week (chilling with my brother and sis-to-be) so there may be a post here-and-there, and my wife and I will just have to wander into an internet cafe at least once in Nice, right? It is bound to happen. (What is the longest that you have gone without checking your email? Thought so.) Blog later.
