A beat before he totally turned on that wheelhouse fastball, Kendall looked up the 1B line. Only reason I can think is watching for some kind of tip off...Giambi maybe? Swung like he knew what was coming.

that's a great attitude
xbhaskarx - June 9, 2006
This place is spooked bad
You should have seen them in the Loiza game, oh no way we could win, when it was a cruise the whole way.We're still winning, 2 outs. For god's sake buckle up, take a drink, whatever.
paradox - June 9, 2006
ARGH. So much for my predicted strikeout.

Anyone who wanted this game finished
Just doesn't get it.Tony - June 9, 2006
Finished playing more, obviously
Tony - June 9, 2006
The remnants of our offense better pick it up
and show that the first half of this game wasn't a fluke. I don't think the pen can hold it.Zonis - June 9, 2006
They never seem to quit
in New York.Don't expect them to just roll over.
Hit4TheCycle - June 9, 2006
Well, shit.
And, uh... stuff it.Poppy - June 9, 2006
Almost unfair
Giambi had an hour and a half to look at video of Halsey and sit on his pitch.southofcruiseamerica - June 9, 2006
Giambi was
probably watching SMACKDOWN in the clubhouse during the deay.Serious.

Stand Up Triple
And there may not be many people left, but Yankee Stadium is THUNDEROUS!Hit4TheCycle - June 9, 2006
bullpen is our achilles heel
I somehow knew this would not be a cakewalk after such a long delay.May come down to street.
I'd say we're 50-50 at best to win this thing.
oaktoon - June 9, 2006
we must
score more. i knew that not getting rouse in after the lead off double could be very bad.Backspin - June 9, 2006
2 more runs, somehow
But I doubt they're coming-- for us, that is.oaktoon - June 9, 2006

It's a 1-0 game now.
And we're up. Keep the faith.El Payo - June 9, 2006
I'll throw the first stone.
Giambi should have been banned for life for his roids use - ideally before that last at-bat.louismg - June 9, 2006
He hit a HgR.

Typical game against them even with injuries they are a potent offense. Our bullpen sucks!ChrisB - June 9, 2006

OK Rouse. 4-run single.
If anyone can do it, he can.El Payo - June 9, 2006
Hellz yes.
El Payo - June 9, 2006
The only question now
is not whether the A's lose, but how exactly it occurs. I'm betting on Giambi.oaktoon - June 9, 2006
Funny. I'm betting we win.
El Payo - June 9, 2006
Foolish to say

I can't believe
Macha let Payton go to bat against Rivera!!!!!!!!!1Does anybody else go w/ a left handed bat in that situation???????
mrod - June 9, 2006
Rivera's cutter
can actually be nastier against lefties. It tends to drift out across the plate against righties, and bore in on lefties.jeepers - June 9, 2006
If Kotsay is hurt, we have no outfielders
