Street will have plenty of chances to get work, no need to waste him in a non-save situation. And then when the save op comes up, he becomes unavailable.
and turn down that money. it may have been easier to pitch in oakland but they sure as shit weren’t gonna give him 18 mil a year. now he makes SF even shittier i still love barry zito and always will
I would have cried on my way out of the stadium in my solid gold robot battle suit, while heading to the small county I annexed from the United States with my millions.
Yup, I would’ve taken that deal and stunk it up also.
Wow. The night of stupid questions/comments on the post-game show continues
That Amy bimbo is interviewing Alex Hinshaw and talking about Friday the 13th and weird things happening like the sprinklers coming on at 10 and she throws in, “And the way you wear your hat.” She gives a grin/smirk like it’s supposed to be a good joke and he starts saying “That’s how I always wear it” as she’s adding “That’s a little weird.”
Then she goes into her next question and he’s just kind of blank-faced. What an idiotic thing to say.
Way to phone in the new game thread, nsj.

Let's hope it continues through Sunday
doctorK - June 13, 2008
So if Ziggy faces Molina with the bases loaded
and one out, is the inning automatically over?
Nico - June 13, 2008
With nobody out, we're talking automatic triple play.
Flashfire - June 13, 2008
Unassisted.
FormerHuntsvilleStar - June 13, 2008
Careful wishing for that
Asdrubal got sent down for turning his (or, perhaps, hitting .170)
nevermoor - June 13, 2008
Right
Crosby would tag the runner from second, run to the bag for the force at second, then run to first, all before Molina reaches the coaching box.
doctorK - June 13, 2008
or before he gets out of the batter's box
muffinpryde - June 13, 2008
I was accounting for the fact that BoCro would fall down at least once
doctorK - June 13, 2008
What if Molina's golf cart runs out of gas?
nevermoor - June 13, 2008
I hope so!
lynnzgal - June 13, 2008
How is that for a walk-off?
Arizona vs KC, no score for 9 innings, and then, just like that, HR, 1-0!
javaball - June 13, 2008
that's what happens when...
shake shake shake….shake shake shake…shake yabuta pitches
drink409 - June 13, 2008
KC won a game? That is quite a "storied" rivalry.
ohtobe21likehuston - June 13, 2008

Ice Cream - June 13, 2008

Obviously I am not paying much attention.
Was sitting outside on the patio at Granite City and the game wasn’t really intriguing.
ohtobe21likehuston - June 13, 2008
Admittedly...
...I had to check first. :)

thats exactly what im doing on mlb.tv. why cant we choose the broadcast?

I'd rather watch

DMOAS - June 13, 2008
Not me - most boring

Boring yes...
but compared to watching fat guys float on the bay for 3 hours it’s like watching well… paint dry.

not really, we have a few names floating around
like Zooks, Suzu, Kendall 2.0
Zonis - June 13, 2008
I like zooks.

Suzy!

Have no idea how the hell that happened.
Poppy - June 13, 2008
Street called him Zookie in an interview a few weeks ago.
Ice Cream - June 13, 2008
Haha!
lynnzgal - June 13, 2008
Zookie!
lynnzgal - June 13, 2008
Z is for Zookie...
That’s good enough for me…

Zookie Monster
it is
nevermoor - June 13, 2008
If his name was Sluzuki it would be a no-brainer
green star oakland - June 13, 2008
Maybe if Comcast didn't spend so much money on in-game
reporting… then they might be able to carry more broadcasts??
ohtobe21likehuston - June 13, 2008

Gnats broadcasts, that is

Merely calling him “Kurt”?
VORP is too nerdy - June 13, 2008
Ugh.
Meant to be a reply to ^^ KuSu’s nickname.
VORP is too nerdy - June 13, 2008
Alrighty
just asking!
lynnzgal - June 13, 2008
Foulke
He continues to get hit quite hard. Just a matter of time before his stats blow up.
Glomar - June 13, 2008
Maybe, but he wasn't really hit hard in that inning
Nico - June 13, 2008
Does anybody still remember how the Gnats got their run tonight?
doctorK - June 13, 2008
Trickeration.
FormerHuntsvilleStar - June 13, 2008
Wiley veteran play pulled out of the Billyball playbook
jdub69 - June 13, 2008
I fail at sarcasm
doctorK - June 13, 2008
I have a buddy who SWEARS any trick play should not be counted
regardless of sport. I thought he was joking but he was dead freaking serious.

good to see
the slump, and then coming out of it, it has to be confidence-building.

hopefully
he goes on that .500 AVG run like he did last year in the minors
muffinpryde - June 13, 2008
All it takes is a little patience. We know he has the skills.
Flashfire - June 13, 2008
We don't need Street in a non-save situation.
Flashfire - June 13, 2008
especially with the groin injury
javaball - June 13, 2008
Street said he felt it last time but the next morning there was no discomfort.

Absolutely
That’s a tired act we’ve seen way too many times.

I heard there is an APB out for him.

I've seen him several times at the Coliseum.

NOOOO
There is no way anybody who comes to a game dressed like that has the slightest idea of what is happening on the field.

lift one to the outfield Sweeney

The A's should take advantage
of every extra day they can rest Street. Free Ziggy now!

One of the funniest things I’ve seen in baseball that I can remember. It’s the one time I wish Barry Bonds had been batting.
louismg - June 13, 2008
Street Still not hitting in the 90s
What happened to his 95mph fastball?
Syphon - June 13, 2008
holding out for when he actually needs it
jdub69 - June 13, 2008
Well last pitch was 92.
Syphon - June 13, 2008
But Gameday
had it at 88mph.
Syphon - June 13, 2008
Just think - Ziggy could've been the one out there for the attack of the sprinklers.
That probably would’ve made it into his next diary.

game over!
jdub69 - June 13, 2008
Why does Geren often pitch Street in non-save situations?
javaball - June 13, 2008
Street gets "un-sharp"
without regular work
One won lost won - June 13, 2008
to keep him sharp
jdub69 - June 13, 2008
like a razor blade
CrackBaby - June 13, 2008
But the A's play a lot of close games,
Street will have plenty of chances to get work, no need to waste him in a non-save situation. And then when the save op comes up, he becomes unavailable.
javaball - June 13, 2008
yay!
Mark Borgschulte - June 13, 2008
Way to go Street!
lynnzgal - June 13, 2008
Another loss for Zito
jdub69 - June 13, 2008
plenty of run support for Zito, as usual
Hey it was 1-0 Giants at one time….
“You’ll get nothing, and like it!” Caddyshack
One won lost won - June 13, 2008
its sad
i really like zito and hoped he would do well in the NL but he just can seem to pull it together
CrackBaby - June 13, 2008
Easier to pitch in the Coliseum with yards of foul territory. Screw him, he should've stayed.
jdub69 - June 13, 2008
Who says Billy Beane wanted to keep him?
doctorK - June 13, 2008
he would have been a retard to stay
and turn down that money. it may have been easier to pitch in oakland but they sure as shit weren’t gonna give him 18 mil a year. now he makes SF even shittier i still love barry zito and always will
CrackBaby - June 13, 2008
If I was Zito
I would have cried on my way out of the stadium in my solid gold robot battle suit, while heading to the small county I annexed from the United States with my millions.
Yup, I would’ve taken that deal and stunk it up also.
oaklandSMASH - June 13, 2008
Less foul territory isn't why Zito's pitching poorly.

there’s a straight steal of home in a game, the sprinklers go on while the closer is in the windup. Have you guys noticed that?

They booed his R's off
green star oakland - June 13, 2008
Wow, either Barton is a crappy interview or Jaymee Sire is a crappy interviewer
Or, you know, both.
Barton sounds like he’s trying to just speak in cliches but not quite doing it properly.
mikev - June 13, 2008
He has no Crash Davis around.
ohtobe21likehuston - June 13, 2008
I've seen Crash Davis and Storm Davis today.
Any more action verb davises and I blow my mind!
oaklandSMASH - June 13, 2008
It's too bad Rajai didn't hit instead of Emil Brown with the bases loaded
You know a 3 run triple woulda taken place.
mikev - June 13, 2008
Barton needs....practice
he’s been sub-par so far. It’s okay.
One won lost won - June 13, 2008
Well that was a fun game thread tonight
Let’s get two more this weekend.
doctorK - June 13, 2008
sprinklers were hilarious.
Multi million dollar stadium and they can’t get that right!
fansince1980 - June 13, 2008
That's because only Billy Beane understands that
valves are undervalued.
Nico - June 13, 2008
Oh Nico!
lynnzgal - June 13, 2008
most stadiums are multi-million dollar stadiums?
SwampyD - June 13, 2008
That's what I yell whenever the umps are introduced.
oaklandSMASH - June 13, 2008
SF management should've turned out the sprinklers when those bozos in orange took the field
Those Gamers are starting to stink and need to be washed off.
oaklandSMASH - June 13, 2008
Wow. The night of stupid questions/comments on the post-game show continues
That Amy bimbo is interviewing Alex Hinshaw and talking about Friday the 13th and weird things happening like the sprinklers coming on at 10 and she throws in, “And the way you wear your hat.” She gives a grin/smirk like it’s supposed to be a good joke and he starts saying “That’s how I always wear it” as she’s adding “That’s a little weird.”
Then she goes into her next question and he’s just kind of blank-faced. What an idiotic thing to say.
Flashfire - June 13, 2008
I bet the next question down that chute would've been
We’re you on that Orange team or that Grey one?
oaklandSMASH - June 13, 2008
It's actually making me long for the days of an FSN broadcast that goes back to...
...some pre-taped crap right after the game. When the quality of their postgame show is this poor…damn.
