I'm gonna say it. This sucks but we have plenty more opportunities even if Kielty can't hit a homer off K-Rod. Can his LH homerun memory become a reality?
the last few weeks, lots of games they shouldn't have won, they won. halliday had to come out of the game early against them. and the top of this inning, a bunch of bloop hits...this can't hold up much longer...
You guys are being overdramatic. Yeah we're without Chavy, Street, and Duke, but we just need ONE F*** RUN (to quote my Staten Island LL player) and an inning at a time of scoreless pitching.
It's not like we're trying to play 9 innings here...and we're the HOME team,a big advantage in these things...
Let's Go, Oakland!

Should have had Payton bunt for a base hit.SA - September 22, 2006
Why take Chavvy out of the game...
if you aren't going to sacrifice bunt or hit and run with Perez at 1B. If he is just going to stand there -- Chavvy can do that bettersmith1051 - September 22, 2006

So we have the great Antonio Perez...
not only playing 3B but also batting behind Big Hurt.smith1051 - September 22, 2006
nothing would make me happier
than him having a sweet defensive play to end this half of the inning, and hitting a home run if/when he is up to bat.drmmerchk - September 22, 2006
wow
huh, do you think they'll walk Frank?gigglingone - September 22, 2006
My thoughts exactly
smith1051 - September 22, 2006
why pinch run for chavvy if you don't bunt
or hit and run??? that was a horrible move. absolutely retarded. bad macha, bad...guy incognito - September 22, 2006
well
worst case scenario, perez is defense for an inning, maybe 2. no way he bats next time around. someone else does and melhuse comes in to play 3rd.noava22 - September 22, 2006

hey now
You guys are being overdramatic. Yeah we're without Chavy, Street, and Duke, but we just need ONE F*** RUN (to quote my Staten Island LL player) and an inning at a time of scoreless pitching.It's not like we're trying to play 9 innings here...and we're the HOME team,a big advantage in these things...
Go A's
