anyone remember these? they can all be accessed from that link - 2001, 2002 and 2003. actually, there are a whole bunch of links to audio interviews with a lot of other current/past players on there as well. i could never get them to play for me before and of course, they're not working for me now even though i have a brand new computer. i don't suppose anyone knows of a way to rip them so we can get them in here before they're eventually deleted?

( meanwhile, a few lockers away, a teammate is reading 'barely legal centerfolds' )

the jim rome show (and some other small goodies)

[info]teenagewildlife

some archived audio clips featuring:

● jason kendall
● barry zito
● nick swisher
● eric byrnes; x2

just in case you're living in a cave ...macha is officially gone. that blog cracks me up, by the way. and this one is just as good of a read:

what can $120 million buy?

1. a 3rd place finish (behind a mediocre team)
2. AIDS
3. the most overrated prospects in the history of this universe
4. a bunch of loud mouthed bitches who don't own up to their own worthlessness (you know who you are curt schilling, varitek, jon lester and peter gammons).

( with a few nice pictures to boot )

i'm genuinely surprised to hear all of the bullshit coming out now that macha is gone. i must admit, this is the first time i'm hearing negative things about macha from inside of the organization. he had a couple of excellent seasons in the mid-90s managing a minor league team from the local city i grew up in. i suppose that's where my familiarity of his personality ends. what i can't understand is that they brought him back after letting him go once before and the players are said to have "supported" that move. i think it's pretty safe to assume macha didn't turn into an asshole overnight. perhaps billy beane needs to fire himself as well ...something doesn't add up here. the other thing that's been bothering me is zito's supposed departure. if he really wants to leave, he's entitled to that. but if it's a money issue, loaiza and calero = gone. replace them with minor leaguers who can be paid less to pitch equally as shitty. what's the problem here?

Congratulations!

[info]ayrdaomei
If you're an out-of-state fan like me, you got to see next to nothing of the A's celebration after clinching last night. MLB.tv, in its infinite wisdom, carried the Seattle broadcast of the game and of course, they ended their coverage a few minutes after the final out. (When the Mets clinched, MLB.tv carried the Mets broadcast and out-of-state fans of that team got to watch their boys celebrate for a long while after the game was over. I usually roll my eyes when people start bitching about East Coast bias in media coverage, but this irks me.)

At any rate, some poking around online this morning uncovered three minutes of raw footage of the clubhouse celebration via a local Cali station - stream // download. It's not much, but it's better than nothing, I suppose.

MLB.com also has audio clips of clubhouse interviews with several players.

eta: Also, the local CBS affiliate had 10 minutes of raw celebration footage (with an amusing warning that it might contain explicit language) on their website -- stream // download. Interviews with Mach, Big Frank, Milton, Jay, and Chavvy.

I scanned the story on Adam Melhuse from the July/August A's magazine. It's been added to the gallery (here).

Meh.

[info]ayrdaomei
Congrats to Barry, but I'm fairly disappointed for Swish and Chavvy! Way to fake me out by naming Swish one of the Final Vote candidates and then pulling the rug out from under me, ESPN >:[

A few things that...won't really make it much better, but here they are, anyway.

1. Huddy pulls his infamous closet prank on Eddie Perez. From the new MLB dvd, MLB Bloopers.
2. Chavvy recounts running over a squirrel. This isn't really funny, at all, but Chavvy looks sharp, and I'm shallow that way.
3. A small sample of stockbroker!Chavvy screencaps for those of you who don't want to hear him talk about running over a poor woodland creature.
4. Nick Swisher on MLB Radio Friday. Nick Swisher seems to have been on MLB Radio just about once a week this season. Just talking about the extra inning game and striking out five times.
5. Mulder talks about his parents, and his recent struggles - 6/17/06. This is clearly from before he found out about the rotator cuff injury that the Cards now worry might keep him out til August :/ (24mbs): (wmv) // (asf)

eta:

6. A handful of screencaps from the last few innings of the 6/17 extra innings victory over LAD. The commentary was for my friends; just linking it here in case anyone wants to snurch caps for iconnage or what have you. (No need to credit for the caps, if you do.)
