True, but there are other people on the team to consider
Suzuki and R. Sweeney are two young players who would benefit from being on a winning team. Cust, Crosby aren’t ancient. The team needs to think about all of the guys and do their best to build a winner.
Also, there are young pitchers who can only be helped by being in a pennant race.
The team would be even better with some decent offense production
The Pitching staff has kept us in the race so far.
If we had a losing record then I might say fine lets play all the rookies and phone it in. However, any team in the pennant race with the lack of production from some of the guys would be looking for some upgrades
off the end of the bat, Kendrick must have a lot of late tailing action on his fastball – because that’s the pitch they’re cueing off the end of the bat.
Actually, this is where Geren's personality is good
The A’s know how they played. They don’t need a Jim Leyland lecture about how unacceptable it is. What they need is to win tomorrow and take the series.
to rebuild his confidence in a lower-pressure situation. The one and only positive from tonight, to me, is that Casilla’s stuff looked fine and he probably gained confidence from the outing.
“Geren mismanages the bullpen,” what they really mean is, “He thinks one pitcher is better than the other, and I feel the opposite.” Brown falls behind in the count an awful lot and has pretty spotty command. Foulke lacks the stuff but has the experience to harness what he has. Foulke makes me nervous, but it’s not an obvious call either way.
We didn’t lose ground. But we didn’t gain ground either. Kendrick looked really good. Greg Smith pitched pretty well too. Help us King Richard! Your’e our only hope! Is the game on MLBTV tomorrow?
We need hits!!!
Oaktownflav - June 25, 2008
Lets Go Oakland!
lynnzgal - June 25, 2008
Well,
Thank goodness.
lynnzgal - June 25, 2008
Wish I could play
hookie tomorrow.
lynnzgal - June 25, 2008
Best Hannahan hit of the night
wait the only hit of the night.
A'sfaninNC - June 25, 2008
Hit notwithstanding...
This game is probably going to make me very upset…
Joey C. - June 25, 2008
But apparently in an environmentally friendly way
WaddellCanseco - June 25, 2008
is oakland gonna SMASH!!
Time to break out the Green Hulk Fists…
oaklandSMASH - June 25, 2008
Yikes!
Green is mean!
lynnzgal - June 25, 2008
Candy
from a baby, please!
lynnzgal - June 25, 2008
Crosby seems to have lost some range.
WaddellCanseco - June 25, 2008
Banged up?
A'sfaninNC - June 25, 2008
I don't know but he didn't have to go all that far for the ball and yet he dove
WaddellCanseco - June 25, 2008
maybe he wants to be on the highlight reel
javaball - June 25, 2008
Wow!
Nice bunt.
lynnzgal - June 25, 2008
Is this a mop-up duty for Gaudin?
javaball - June 25, 2008
With our hitting tonight, i would have to say yes looks that way
A'sfaninNC - June 25, 2008
This game just sucks everything
Nico - June 25, 2008
Almost had it
Well, same rule goes for the rookie outfielders as the rookie pitchers. They’re all learning.
Nick - June 25, 2008
I'm just glad he didn't hurt himself
(That’s the A’s fan in me talking.) Our pitcher gave up two, our OF has given up two, and we have one-hit against Lamey McSuckfest.
Nico - June 25, 2008
Craptastic turn of events there
A'sfaninNC - June 25, 2008
Just when I thought the A's could pick up half a game on the Angels
javaball - June 25, 2008
Horrible decision to dive for that ball
Still 2 outs if he takes it on the bounce we can still get out of the inning without giving up a run
Yellowhorse - June 25, 2008
Actually, it was catchable and unless
it’s someone like Victorino running, no way does a runner score from first – just the wrong runner…and the not-catching-it thing.
Nico - June 25, 2008
This is hard to say but
maybe this game needs more Emil Brown?
A'sfaninNC - June 25, 2008
yogi berra pls
KCB58 - June 25, 2008
The position players have been letting down the pitchers tonight (all year)
Has to be demoralizing the pitchers
Yellowhorse - June 25, 2008
Maybe, but Smith wasn't very good tonight
Nico - June 25, 2008
1 hit against this pitcher
Phillies should have about 2 runs. That is enough to keep you in the game.
The number of 0 and 1 run offensive production has been way too frequent this year
Yellowhorse - June 25, 2008
Mark Ellis Giganticus!
lynnzgal - June 25, 2008
Heckuva rally
Nico - June 25, 2008
Ouch
another three up/three down inning?
we’re all gonna die (said calmly)
oaklandSMASH - June 25, 2008
I think we'll more
ground routinely to SS. Dying would involve actually doing something.
Nico - June 25, 2008
That's why I said it calmly
it’s like we’re getting gassed to death by poor hitting
oaklandSMASH - June 25, 2008
Could we look
any more putrid?
lynnzgal - June 25, 2008
They could still have a nohitter going
A'sfaninNC - June 25, 2008
I've got a good feeling about this game. Not right now but I'm seeing
something decent happening in the near future.
ohtobe21likehuston - June 25, 2008
Would that maybe be tomorrow?
Nico - June 25, 2008
late inning superrally
please
oaklandSMASH - June 25, 2008
i sure hope so.
Yellowhorse - June 25, 2008
Smith hasn't been that good in June,
I’m beginning to wonder if that’s all he got
javaball - June 25, 2008
Some average play in the outfield and its a 2 run night against a good hitting team
I do think he and Eveland might be hitting the wall. Good thing we have Gaudin
Yellowhorse - June 25, 2008
I think he's missing the wall by about two inches
Nico - June 25, 2008
He's a rookie and deserves a little rope.
ohtobe21likehuston - June 25, 2008
And a goat, and some whip cream
Nico - June 25, 2008
Agree.
A few more runs in some of his appearances and he might have a better record
Yellowhorse - June 25, 2008
He has been up and down
with the highlight being the 10 K’s against texas but other than that this is what he has done most of the year
A'sfaninNC - June 25, 2008
and lack of run support and poor d have not helped him either
A'sfaninNC - June 25, 2008
The A's defense has actually improved this last month,
not tonight obviously
javaball - June 25, 2008
His ERA in April and May were below 3 and in June is 5.5,
javaball - June 25, 2008
Every pitcher has those kinds of fluctuations
Except Duke because he’s not human.
Nico - June 25, 2008
The Duke abides, man...
oaklandSMASH - June 25, 2008
I don't know about you but I take comfort in that.
It’s good knowin’ he’s out there.
green star oakland - June 25, 2008
Team needs to add another hitter
The GM has to try and improve the offense. They have to send a message to the hitters young or not that the majors is about production
Yellowhorse - June 25, 2008
Who should we get? I only see LF as an option and then what to do with Cust??
DH him for a while but Chavy is gonna be taking his place on occasion. Once/if Frank returns than you really have a dilemma.
ohtobe21likehuston - June 25, 2008
I think we should add a terrific hitter,
without giving up any talent, and that the hitter should bat “10th” at no position.
Nico - June 25, 2008
I would love to see a ROVER win the MVP!
ohtobe21likehuston - June 25, 2008
My brother had a cat named Rover,
but he didn’t really have MVP-type tools. Plus now he’s dead.
Nico - June 25, 2008
So you want to replace Bowen in the 10-spot?
iglew - June 25, 2008
Speaking of 10-spots,
could we put one up in the bottom of the 7th, please?
Nico - June 25, 2008
if we ever get there
A'sfaninNC - June 25, 2008
You mean before time runs out?
Nico - June 25, 2008
yeah that inning seemed really long
A'sfaninNC - June 25, 2008
1B and CF
We are still in the race. The minors are for player development, a pennant race is for building a winning team.
Yellowhorse - June 25, 2008
Sure but you are talking about two pretty important guys long-term.
We’ll see…
ohtobe21likehuston - June 25, 2008
True, but there are other people on the team to consider
Suzuki and R. Sweeney are two young players who would benefit from being on a winning team. Cust, Crosby aren’t ancient. The team needs to think about all of the guys and do their best to build a winner.
Also, there are young pitchers who can only be helped by being in a pennant race.
Yellowhorse - June 25, 2008
Last I checked, this team is 8 games over .500
Also, they’re only 4.5 games out of first place.
I am reasonably sure that those two figures meet both your “winning team” and “pennant race” criteria.
mikev - June 25, 2008
Not to mention the fact that CarGo really looks like a CF'er
and Suzuki ain’t going nowhere. I think LF is our best option for an upgrade.
ohtobe21likehuston - June 25, 2008
Sign Barry Bonds.
All that costs is money. No prospects.
mikev - June 25, 2008
I totally agree
Yellowhorse - June 25, 2008
read somewhere today that he has said he would play for
the league minium and on top of that get his salary to the team to but tickets for children
A'sfaninNC - June 25, 2008
Will his HUGE recliner fit in the A's clubhouse?
ohtobe21likehuston - June 25, 2008
but think of the children
A'sfaninNC - June 25, 2008
I really don't think he'd be much better than Cust at all
And when Thomas comes back, there’s not much room for him.
thejd44 - June 25, 2008
I'm pretty sure you can find room for a fucking .480 OBP
mikev - June 25, 2008
Yeah. I'm with people that don't want him because
of his attitude but let’s not discount his unbelievable stats.
ohtobe21likehuston - June 25, 2008
The team would be even better with some decent offense production
The Pitching staff has kept us in the race so far.
If we had a losing record then I might say fine lets play all the rookies and phone it in. However, any team in the pennant race with the lack of production from some of the guys would be looking for some upgrades
Yellowhorse - June 25, 2008
7th in the AL in runs scored.
Not horrible, not fantastic. Also without Thomas for a good amount of time.
mikev - June 25, 2008
Spare the air?
What air?
lynnzgal - June 25, 2008
Maybe it's "spare the error"
Nico - June 25, 2008
Too late.
lynnzgal - June 25, 2008
Don't drive!
it’s already polluted with fire-smoke.
So walk, bike, take transit, or just call in sick.
MobiusKlein - June 25, 2008
No, calling in sick should be reserved for
“Spare the Integrity” days.
Nico - June 25, 2008
My commute is down
to 10 mins. with a mind to reducing my carbon foot print. I’m doing my part.
lynnzgal - June 25, 2008
You could just quit your job and never go anywhere
thejd44 - June 25, 2008
Biked in today
The smoke was crazy – like the end of the world, it seems.
MobiusKlein - June 25, 2008
For real!
I feel like I should shelter in place.
lynnzgal - June 25, 2008
If the gov't would subsidize my mortgage
I’d bite.
lynnzgal - June 25, 2008
Go-dan!
lynnzgal - June 25, 2008
Hey Gaudin
Now would be a good time to prove you should be a starter.
oaklandSMASH - June 25, 2008
Good strike out
runners do not advance
oaklandSMASH - June 25, 2008
I always thought Gaudin had the best potential for a no-hitter
and he doesn’t even start. Puzzling at times.
ohtobe21likehuston - June 25, 2008
I vote for Harden
WaddellCanseco - June 25, 2008
I never count him :-)
ohtobe21likehuston - June 25, 2008
yeah with him batting in a NL park i could see us getting no-hit
A'sfaninNC - June 25, 2008
ouch
ohtobe21likehuston - June 25, 2008
GREAT PLAY, CROS
NOW HIT SOMETHING!!
oaklandSMASH - June 25, 2008
Emmy Award for camera work there!
ohtobe21likehuston - June 25, 2008
Bo-Cro!
Thank you!
lynnzgal - June 25, 2008
Yay Bob!
WaddellCanseco - June 25, 2008
Lets get some runs this inning!!!
Yellowhorse - June 25, 2008
Jesu! Cust!
Huge swinging.
lynnzgal - June 25, 2008
In Cust's defense, a grand slam would have tied it
Nico - June 25, 2008
And thats what
I was hoping for, but damn!
lynnzgal - June 25, 2008
As many balls as the A's have squibbed
off the end of the bat, Kendrick must have a lot of late tailing action on his fastball – because that’s the pitch they’re cueing off the end of the bat.
Nico - June 25, 2008
I hate when we make average pitchers look amazing. It stings!
ohtobe21likehuston - June 25, 2008
No, the annoying part is when
he’s lit up in his next start – especially if it were by the Angels.
Nico - June 25, 2008
I'm not sure Chavvy's shoulder is feeling much better tonight
Nick - June 25, 2008
Good enough
Yeah?
lynnzgal - June 25, 2008
That's the first jab
Time for the haymaker
oaklandSMASH - June 25, 2008
Well crap!
ohtobe21likehuston - June 25, 2008
The reality is,
this is just “one of those games”.
Nico - June 25, 2008
True
The Phillies were due. Some hits by the A’s were right at people.
I still think the weak hitting has been a problem all year and is showing up again tonight.
Yellowhorse - June 25, 2008
I think we just ran into Kendrick
having one of his best starts in a long time. He’s actually pitching great – even though he hasn’t much this year.
Nico - June 25, 2008
It's not like Adam Eaton is doing this to us...
Nick - June 25, 2008
Or Jamey Wright
(3 hit shutout last year).
Nico - June 25, 2008
Until tomorrow....
mikev - June 25, 2008
Good to see us double our hit total the frame
A'sfaninNC - June 25, 2008
And our runs total
green star oakland - June 25, 2008
Geren giving Casilla some mop-up work?
javaball - June 25, 2008
why not let Gaudin finish the game?
javaball - June 25, 2008
didnt want him to get spoiled and over worked
A'sfaninNC - June 25, 2008
Remember when Casilla got people out?
Nico - June 25, 2008
when was that?
javaball - June 25, 2008
CaZilla!
ohtobe21likehuston - June 25, 2008
Y'know what it is?
When my boss attends the games, they lose. You know what my next recommendation is gonna be.
lynnzgal - June 25, 2008
more parking?
A'sfaninNC - June 25, 2008
Stop it!
lynnzgal - June 25, 2008
Pedro Feliz has as many hits as the A's :-(
green star oakland - June 25, 2008
Why exactly wasn't that a balk?
Nico - June 25, 2008
*hit!
lynnzgal - June 25, 2008
Dang, Bobby
Something’s not right with that, boy…
oaklandSMASH - June 25, 2008
This is a painful game to watch.
ohtobe21likehuston - June 25, 2008
Oh my.
Kimberly - June 25, 2008
I guess that Barton should have run at him a bit more before throwing to Ellis??
Yellowhorse - June 25, 2008
Yep
ohtobe21likehuston - June 25, 2008
Some bad defense this inning
jax a's fan - June 25, 2008
game
A'sfaninNC - June 25, 2008
Some game defense this inning?
Nico - June 25, 2008
Uhm . . .
No.
lynnzgal - June 25, 2008
no no bad defense this game
A'sfaninNC - June 25, 2008
Just plain Bad the whole game
Tomorrow is “W” day for Rich Harden
Trainman - June 25, 2008
Rremember when Casilla got people out?
Nico - June 25, 2008
that was then and this is now
A'sfaninNC - June 25, 2008
This IS one of those nights.
ohtobe21likehuston - June 25, 2008
DE-FENSE!
Boooooooooooooo.
Kimberly - June 25, 2008
a w e f u l
oaklandSMASH - June 25, 2008
So let's see...
This inning, Casilla has gotten a grounder to SS, picked a runner off, and fielded a comebacker.
And still nobody out.
Nico - June 25, 2008
Some team leaders need to step it up after this game
Lord knows the manager won’t light a fire under the team
Yellowhorse - June 25, 2008
They couldn't get laid on a whorehouse tonight
Trainman - June 25, 2008
Amazing
An out
Trainman - June 25, 2008
on or "in" :-)
ohtobe21likehuston - June 25, 2008
in a whorehouse
on one either. Or at one. Or beside one.
Trainman - June 25, 2008
enter "prepositions"
ohtobe21likehuston - June 25, 2008
How about a morgue?
ohtobe21likehuston - June 25, 2008
Maybe
Trainman - June 25, 2008
wow
that is the sickest joke i’ve ever heard. and i wish i had the guts to repeat it as often as possible.
blueconversechucks - June 26, 2008
Actually, this is where Geren's personality is good
The A’s know how they played. They don’t need a Jim Leyland lecture about how unacceptable it is. What they need is to win tomorrow and take the series.
Nico - June 25, 2008
+1
Nick - June 25, 2008
Agreed
They know how bad they were.
Their pitcher tomorrow is an absolute GASCAN
Trainman - June 25, 2008
So then we're looking at, what, a perfect game?
Nico - June 25, 2008
CGSO at a minimum.
mikev - June 25, 2008
Here is tomorrow's result
A’s get 9 runs on 12 hits
Harden goes 8 innings with 10 K’s and max 1 run allowed
Trainman - June 25, 2008
10Ks and 8 IP
sounds like 130 pitches.
Nico - June 25, 2008
No,
He’s going to have quite a few 3 pitch K’s
Half a dozen 1st pitch outs
No walks
Trainman - June 25, 2008
Plus nine pickoffs to take over the league lead
Nico - June 25, 2008
All with no one on base
Trainman - June 25, 2008
No, one guy
The same guy just keeps getting picked off. It’s a “ghost runner” thing.
Nico - June 25, 2008
Harden does that to give his arm enough work
as his 81 pitch outing has his arm convulsing from lack of work
Trainman - June 25, 2008
IT'S A OUT!!!!!!!!!!
Nico - June 25, 2008
Did Zook have a play at 3rd?
ohtobe21likehuston - June 25, 2008
Nobody was on the base
mikev - June 25, 2008
And that stopped him from throwing?
Has he been WATCHING the game tonight?
Nico - June 25, 2008
O2B or Zook?
ohtobe21likehuston - June 25, 2008
Get the lead runner!
Thank gosh.
lynnzgal - June 25, 2008
not our night, i guess (shuffles feet, looks down)
ak_A - June 25, 2008
Casilla strikeout!!
Welcome back, Jairo!!
oaklandSMASH - June 25, 2008
Luck?
Please?
lynnzgal - June 25, 2008
Baseball is all luck
Haven’t you heard?
Nico - June 25, 2008
Casilla
Luck is strong in this one
oaklandSMASH - June 25, 2008
I Know!
And we just got some.
lynnzgal - June 25, 2008
*snerk*
ohtobe21likehuston - June 25, 2008
You said the magic word!
Nick - June 25, 2008
I Deed!
5 runs now please!
lynnzgal - June 25, 2008
Nice Houdini-act there. Wow!
ohtobe21likehuston - June 25, 2008
So let's see...
Casilla got a DP, a pickoff, a comebacker, and then got three outs. WOO HOO – SEVEN OUTS!!!
Nico - June 25, 2008
at least not cycle for Utley
A'sfaninNC - June 25, 2008
That means Philly doesn't get to bat in the 9th, rght?
mikev - June 25, 2008
Correct - it's a special and strange rule
where if your player misses the cycle to end the 8th the team forfeits its chance to bat in the 9th.
Nico - June 25, 2008
we would need to score a lot of runs and then give up a lot of runs for him to hit again
but yes philly will bat ing the 9th. But it is unlikely that Utley will hit again
A'sfaninNC - June 25, 2008
but of course this is the A's and our defense has been a little not so great tonight
A'sfaninNC - June 25, 2008
Light Kendrick up!
We have him where we want him!
Overconfident!
oaklandSMASH - June 25, 2008
lead-off man on for the first time in the game
too little too late
javaball - June 25, 2008
No it's not!
Go A’s!
iglew - June 25, 2008
I'll never forget when we were going for 20 in a row.
A course we had Hattie then. But, isn’t Barton the next best thing?
lynnzgal - June 25, 2008
I love the energy of the fans in Oakland. They always get going
as if “this is our time” regardless of when they are down. Can’t say that about every fan base!
ohtobe21likehuston - June 25, 2008
I love our fans
They’re both great.
Nico - June 25, 2008
I hate today.
pam5981 - June 25, 2008
Didn't the Angels lose today?
iglew - June 25, 2008
And the A's are about to.
pam5981 - June 25, 2008
Barton says "not on my watch, pam5981!"
ohtobe21likehuston - June 25, 2008
He's hit the ball well tonight
Nick - June 25, 2008
pam5981 is standing on Barton's watch?
That’s not nice at all.
Nico - June 25, 2008
Since when did you join the gloomy club, Pam?
iglew - June 25, 2008
She must be out of Maker's MarH^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H Jack Daniels
mikev - June 25, 2008
Actually I'm not.
But I’m about to be.
pam5981 - June 25, 2008
Since today.
The A’s are just the cherry on top of a crappy day.
pam5981 - June 25, 2008
Awww!
lynnzgal - June 25, 2008
Bummer
This is the sort of day when you need a good husband.
iglew - June 25, 2008
Jeezus.
That’s not helping!
pam5981 - June 25, 2008
I knew that was the wrong thing to post!!
ohtobe21likehuston - June 25, 2008
oops, sorry.
That was a really stupid thing to say, huh?
iglew - June 25, 2008
You were just acting like a good husband -
saying something really stupid.
Nico - June 25, 2008
If tone of voice could be communicated
by the Internet, it wouldn’t have been as bad.
iglew - June 25, 2008
That's okay.
Me and Jack Daniels are planning to live happily ever after.
pam5981 - June 25, 2008
Awwww.
Ahhhhh!
ohtobe21likehuston - June 25, 2008
It might end badly
but it will be fun while it lasts.
pam5981 - June 25, 2008
You, my friend, are the Janis Joplin of AN!
ohtobe21likehuston - June 25, 2008
Should I be a good husband
and correct her grammar?
Nico - June 25, 2008
I do not support this message.
ohtobe21likehuston - June 25, 2008
Unicorn Love!
lynnzgal - June 25, 2008
That looked a bit low.
mikev - June 25, 2008
I feel dumb whining about the umps all the time
but strike 2 to Barton was clearly outside (to a lefty), and strike 3 to Ellis was clearly outside (to a righty).

Definitely agree on Barton
The pitch to Ellis looked like it could go either way – a good pitch, anyway.
Nico - June 25, 2008
I Hear Ya,
I have no idea where the strike zone is anymore.
lynnzgal - June 25, 2008
i was behind home plate for this one
and there is no way strike 2 and strike 3 to ellis could fit in one strike zone
blueconversechucks - June 26, 2008
Home run
Ryan!
lynnzgal - June 25, 2008
BAD Sweeney. Very very very bad Sweeney.
No soup for you. One year.
Nico - June 25, 2008
Waah!
lynnzgal - June 25, 2008
It is just me, or has Sweeney not really been putting very good swings on the ball lately?
mikev - June 25, 2008
small sample size
A'sfaninNC - June 25, 2008
Not tonight.
He was fine when he was coming within 1/312 of a millimeter of winning the game.
Nico - June 25, 2008
Two of the best relievers used in a loss again
javaball - June 25, 2008
Don't know why Brown is used as a mop-up guy. He should be in the setup role sometimes
javaball - June 25, 2008
maybe cause he hadnt pitched in 4 days and needed some work but who knows at this point
A'sfaninNC - June 25, 2008
I think it was smart to use Casilla,
to rebuild his confidence in a lower-pressure situation. The one and only positive from tonight, to me, is that Casilla’s stuff looked fine and he probably gained confidence from the outing.
Nico - June 25, 2008
I guess Foulke is the setup guy, but
Brown seems to have better stuff
javaball - June 25, 2008
See I think when some say
“Geren mismanages the bullpen,” what they really mean is, “He thinks one pitcher is better than the other, and I feel the opposite.” Brown falls behind in the count an awful lot and has pretty spotty command. Foulke lacks the stuff but has the experience to harness what he has. Foulke makes me nervous, but it’s not an obvious call either way.
Nico - June 25, 2008
now i hate two kendricks
KCB58 - June 25, 2008
I hate the spelling- Geoff
ohtobe21likehuston - June 25, 2008
Can you speak up? I'm a bit deoff.
Nico - June 25, 2008
I'm not sure how much I have leofft tonight.
ohtobe21likehuston - June 25, 2008
Geostt ignore it.
Nick - June 25, 2008
I don't geott you.
lynnzgal - June 25, 2008
Is that some seortt of jeoke?
Nico - June 25, 2008
Yeoss
Nick - June 25, 2008
Weoll it's feonnnnny
Nico - June 25, 2008
I don't kneow.
Meow.
lynnzgal - June 25, 2008
Does not compute. < Syntax error >
ohtobe21likehuston - June 25, 2008
Sorry,
I had a “When Harry Met Sally” flashback.
lynnzgal - June 25, 2008
Looks like Gonzales is wearing Cust repellent again
Nick - June 25, 2008
it's a wild game in Detroit
javaball - June 25, 2008
Wild game?
Is it hot in here, or is it jeosst me?
Nico - June 25, 2008
How about trading for Rick Ankiel?
thoughts?
A'sfaninNC - June 25, 2008
Okay. Cust basehit. Rajai pinch runs and then hopefully
something good happens.
ohtobe21likehuston - June 25, 2008
Like Rajai develops the common sense
not to get picked off in a 4-0 game?
Nico - June 25, 2008
Plan ruined.
ohtobe21likehuston - June 25, 2008
why PR for cust down by 4
MobiusKlein - June 25, 2008
Especially since he's not on base
That’s a REAL waste of Rajai!
Nico - June 25, 2008
It seems like a waste not to have him "help" Sacramento
ohtobe21likehuston - June 25, 2008
would he clear waviers though to get there?
A'sfaninNC - June 25, 2008
who cares?
ohtobe21likehuston - June 25, 2008
He'd fly through them like they were stop signs
Nico - June 25, 2008
nice that was good this late in the thread
A'sfaninNC - June 25, 2008
we need BB, BB. HBP, HBP, and Grand Slam
like the Cubs vs Rays game.
javaball - June 25, 2008
We need Cust to swing at pitches down the middle
with two strikes.
Nico - June 25, 2008
i guess we are going to go 0-20
scoring 1 or zero…great stat btw, how many 1-0 games are there to win
KCB58 - June 25, 2008
Does anyone else hate
Their posturing? Dammit!
lynnzgal - June 25, 2008
Detroit wins on their 19th hit of the game
We could have used 10 of those hits
Trainman - June 25, 2008
Romero never fails to walk people
javaball - June 25, 2008
Good eye
Hannahan!
lynnzgal - June 25, 2008
and the game ends on another weak groundout.
Let’s get ‘em tomorrow Sir Richard!
ohtobe21likehuston - June 25, 2008
Dammit!
Hate being shut out!
lynnzgal - June 25, 2008
We are better than that, right?
lynnzgal - June 25, 2008
Oh well. At least the Angels lost too!
We didn’t lose any ground. Kendrick looked good tonight. So did Smitty. Let’s get them tomorrow! Is the game on MLBTV?
A'sfansince1970 - June 25, 2008
Oh well! At least the Angels finally lost!
We didn’t lose ground. But we didn’t gain ground either. Kendrick looked really good. Greg Smith pitched pretty well too. Help us King Richard! Your’e our only hope! Is the game on MLBTV tomorrow?
A'sfansince1970 - June 25, 2008
So nice, you had to post it twice
Me? I left my couch to watch Get Smart.
Let’s win the series tomorrow!
