Kendall Homers!
2006-05-31 14:39
Jason Kendall just hit his first home run as an Oakland Athletic!
Holy Toledo!
If the A’s come back and win the division, this may be the moment where things turn around. If Kendall can homer…all the bad luck may be reversing itself, right here, right now.
I can hope, anyway.
Update: It’s his first home run since July 27, 2004, off Paul Byrd of the Atlanta Braves.
1. Does it still count since it came against the Royals?
2. You're kidding...What's next? Posednik hits a grand slam?
3. I'd be willing to wipe the home run off the books, if I can also wipe the two losses in this series off the books, as well.
4. Ken, how can you be sure ??? I mean being his first there is no pattern to be recognized, so that shoots down the intuitive thought process. And it is highly irrational that Jason Kendall hits a home run, killing the rational thought process.
Thus, I have to ask...did Jason Kendall really homer ???
5. Ken Macha after the game: "And Barry Bonds ball was worth what?"
6. Reporter: "How was Kendall when he got back to the dugout?"
Macha: "I don't know. I think they were resuscitating him."
7. I think the take-away lesson here is obvious...
Number of Kendall homers before Ken posts a photo of a Silicon Valley CEO: 0
Number of Kendall homers after Ken posts a photo of a Silicon Valley CEO: 1
Clearly, the solution is mandatory, daily postings of Silicon Valley CEOs lording their wealth and privilege over their worker bees.
That is, assuming the Kendall home-run wasn't staged like the moon landing.
8. You know pigs are flying when KC wins two strait on the Road and Kendall homers
9. OK, I did the statwork on what has happened since Jason's last homer:
