that was upsetting. I'm glad Bradley wants to win so bad, but I wish he would've walked away before he got thrown out. You can't win the game if you aren't playing. It was hilarious tho how he was trying to get past Macha and Macha literally had him off the ground, carrying him toward the dugout.
that macha would pinch hit perez in favor of some klown power. Seeing as Bobby has hit a walk off against K rod before. Then just put D'Angelo in if that doesnt work out.
was exactly the pitch that was called a ball last August, leading K-Rod to complain to the ump, swipe at and miss the throw back from the mound from Molina, allowing Kendall to score from 3rd.
Bradley has a girlfriend named Rodriguez; KRod has a girlfriend named Bradley!
KRod sulked on the mound after his pitch; Gamer sulked over a Mounds® bar in the locker room after being thrown out!
The ump who called the ball in the sulk off game hid in a book depository afterwards; tonight's ump has been thinking about going to the theater all night!
It wasn't a liner past first; it was a flyball that landed near the warning track in the corner ... if not the warning track near the dirt near foul territory.
Figgins in from center to play near 2nd. 5 infielders, 3 on the left, 2 on the right. Outfielders play shallow in mid-left and right.
Marco hits it right at deep center. Even with a rocket up their ass, it was deep enough to score Kielty, so the moment that ball left Marco's bat, it was over.
In all seriousness, I am amazed by the childish level of discourse on that site. I'm sure they're still waiting for their 'Panthers' to beat the 'Choakland Asses'. Pathetic.
had Crosby playing Shortstop tonight instead of Scutaro. If so, stand up and be counted but count me out. Scutaro is the clutch hitter that Crosby never became. Keep Croz on the bench & keep Scutaro playing.
Dear Blez,
Hello. How are you? I am fine. I hope your having a good vacation. You might to take a look at this thread & see how some people like to express themselves. They also like to insult others when they have no reason to. Whether its booze or drugs or maybe its just who they are, they need to lighten up. All that matters is the A's are two games closer to clinching the Western Division. Sincerely, bambikiller
Inherently, they're filled with tension and hardcore emotional outbursts -- both of despair and elation. Part of their very nature, I would be extremely surprised to see Blez try to change how they operate.
Still scared.

Short recap
Figgins in from center to play near 2nd. 5 infielders, 3 on the left, 2 on the right. Outfielders play shallow in mid-left and right.Marco hits it right at deep center. Even with a rocket up their ass, it was deep enough to score Kielty, so the moment that ball left Marco's bat, it was over.

Open letter to Blez
Dear Blez,Hello. How are you? I am fine. I hope your having a good vacation. You might to take a look at this thread & see how some people like to express themselves. They also like to insult others when they have no reason to. Whether its booze or drugs or maybe its just who they are, they need to lighten up. All that matters is the A's are two games closer to clinching the Western Division. Sincerely, bambikiller
bambikiller - September 22, 2006
Yeah, I'll swear now and then
But this thread was, at times, pointlessly angry and foul.RLangford - September 22, 2006
100% Agreement
Likewise. There's freedom of speech & there's a point when the profanity loses its effectiveness.bambikiller - September 22, 2006
This is just how the game threads ARE, though.
Inherently, they're filled with tension and hardcore emotional outbursts -- both of despair and elation. Part of their very nature, I would be extremely surprised to see Blez try to change how they operate.Kyli - September 22, 2006
