Who Wore It Better?

Yes. In addition to being a snazzy first baseman, Who sported a killer 'stache.

Why do I feel like this is the start of a Spinal Tap-esque 30 for 30 special??

Because everything you do is a comedic classic! Kind of like whoopee cushions

Even when Chief is serious it’s comedic gold. I bet all the poster’s who’ve had their posts moderated were Laughing Out Loud.

Did they activate Correa? I thought that was going to happen before tonight's game. I figured he'd be playing. 

[Nine of twelve]

I am man enough to accept and embrace that a mustache is simply not going to happen for me. The one and only time I tried to grow one was about 35 years ago. The only person who noticed after two weeks was my mom. Pathetic!

[Mike Sixel]

I couldn't grow good looking facial hair if I wanted to.

Me neither. You might as well ask me to grow 8 inches taller.

I didn’t see that he was. I don’t think they gave a specific time, just sometime this week and maybe this series

Here's the secret; get some dried chicken manure, soften it up with a little water, then smear it above your upper lip. Do that every day for a couple of weeks until the hairs start coming out. Of course your wife or significant other won't kiss you for awhile, maybe never again, but you'll have a 'stashe as thick as an English hedge. Oh, and don't go near any roosters.

No, he wasn't There was a report earlier today that said he would be activated before tonight's game. Now, the reports are that he'll be activated either tomorrow or Friday. We wait just a little longer.

[Drunk_Goose]

I'm fine with Correa not being activated tonight or even this series for that matter. We have enough to make it a productive series without risking him. I only want him back when he absolutely 100 percent fit, not 95.

Welcome to yet another installment of Shopping with the Enemy. I thought I had done the A’s when they visited Target Field, but just in case…

Here we have an item that I didn’t know existed, but now I’m not sure I can live without (if it comes outfitted for MN Twins too) this device projects the logo of your favorite team onto the ground from your car door as it opens

who knew such things existed?!

Next we have a set of A’s branded wireless earbuds

im somewhat shocked that these exist, honestly. Isn’t the point of these the pretentious snobbery of $200 earphones that you can afford to lose one?

Saving the least for last, we offer an A’s branded ping pong paddle.

who plays Ping Pong anyways? What year is this?

Is it just me, or does it look like Bundy is wearing bell-bottom pants?? They really flare out at the bottom lol

Platform shoes are the equivalent of silicone implants.
