A's and Rangers tied at 3 in the 10th. This is an intense battle for second.
Ziggy gave up a game tying homer in the bottom of the ninth to Hank Blalock.
LET'S GO A'S!!!!!!!

You kinda called it.
Pennington gets a hit and Baisley drives him in…Dale does something irrelevant
DyeLongJustice - September 22, 2008 reply
and baisley is incapable of getting three in one game
than there are actually at the game.
I worked hard for that thunder.
Far be it from me.
nice hit!
Yay Cliffy!

Casilla throwing in the bullpen = play for the crooked number
He says he’s no Jason Kendall. Mark II.
(waits for it…)
You’re welcome :)
Kimberly - September 22, 2008 reply

Damn!
Horrible, horrible decision and equally wretched execution.
Probably right after he practices his hitting
Mendoza, however, is a bad pitcher and we gave him an out for nothing.
to the right side, he shouldn’t be in the game. That’s what he does when you DON’T need it. Pathetic decision.
skutch - September 22, 2008 reply
“Daric you should bunt so people look foward to us not playing in October”
This is in my top 5 worst of the season.
ak_A - September 22, 2008 reply
Lets go Travis!
to make this:
Englishmajor - September 22, 2008 reply
and maybe even my pants.. seeing as its a Baisley jumpsuit
I was just bookmarking the fabric site I took it from, thinking it would make nice curtains.
And I’m disappointed.
I would need to put like 4 bags on his head.
I bet he was the nerdiest on his team
Jack Hannahan? The guy that almost died on someone’s front lawn?
in september only to let us down again next year…
Now call for a Patrol Craft HR
maybe a double tho…my guess is thats all we get
I missed you Travis! Woo hoo!
That’s why the A’s needed to play for more than just one run. Hopefully, though…
ugh
wit beyond measure is man’s greatest treasure….so maybe Beane should pitch this inning
as in “This would be Casilla’s second save this year”.
so i can watch the heroes season premiere!!

where i wish clutch hitting was a major attribute to a batter, rather than a small/insignificant one…then we could corner the market on undervalued clutch hitters, and we might win this game.
walk this chump
I almost had a heart attack
Rodriguez – .196 Mathis – .190 Willits – .190
That’s abysmal.
Woo hoo!
My heart can re-start now.
See you in the wrap up thread.
They weren’t at work – I know, because I was there all day.
Its a joke my friend.
I have it right here.
Of course, how the heck would I know?
about screwing underage sheep.
I wouldn’t.
Call me.
What the fuck man.
and me too.
You’re adooooorable, and very sweeeeet. Weeee’re good. Thanks.
I’m new at this – are we now engaged?
There was some talk about this huge one they found in Africa?
Cindi was sure she heard that they found a frica in Iraq.
who were you with in my room?!
bad boy!
here I thought there wasn’t anybody.
hands down.
Nobody.
Nico has been there!
Fire spreads to bed and rest of room
Kurt is sexy too.
had a terrific game. He should definitely be in the conversation for backup middle infielder for 2009.
BUT SECOND TO NONE. HOORAY FOR THE A’S.

3 game threads
wow.
thesteve9x - September 22, 2008
How much of it is baseball-related?
67MARQUEZ - September 22, 2008
Less than half of one
thesteve9x - September 22, 2008
Please.
It can all be traced back to RyRy.
Jennifer - September 22, 2008
Third thread!
Awesome.
WaddellCanseco - September 22, 2008
Ohhh, you always move me out of the comfy, dirty threads.
Boooo.
schmifty - September 22, 2008
Its been a while,
and I miss it!
lynnzgal - September 22, 2008
A scoreless Embring through the heart of the order -
I did not see that coming.
Nico - September 22, 2008
And yet . . .
You kinda called it.
lynnzgal - September 22, 2008
Prediction:
Pennington gets a hit and Baisley drives him in…Dale does something irrelevant
DyeLongJustice - September 22, 2008
Involving diving into a pool, no doubt?
Nico - September 22, 2008
talking to billy beane about the undervalued market of flexible first basemen
DyeLongJustice - September 22, 2008
Mmm, bendy.
schmifty - September 22, 2008
i shoulda said buck...cuz he doesn't have a hit
and baisley is incapable of getting three in one game
DyeLongJustice - September 22, 2008
Trim your mustache!
Jennifer - September 22, 2008
There might be more people in this thread
than there are actually at the game.
thesteve9x - September 22, 2008
You wouldn't be the first person to say so.
lynnzgal - September 22, 2008
Don't steal my thunder
I worked hard for that thunder.

Let's Go A's!
Yay Cliffy!
doctorK - September 22, 2008

The Golden One - September 22, 2008
We still never found out if Ryan swings a small bat or not
I demand an answer, dammit.
schmifty - September 22, 2008

justarebelheart - September 22, 2008
Bunting is a BAD idea -
Casilla throwing in the bullpen = play for the crooked number
Nico - September 22, 2008
0?
WaddellCanseco - September 22, 2008
Yay Cliff!
He says he’s no Jason Kendall. Mark II.
WaddellCanseco - September 22, 2008
Hit away, plz
doctorK - September 22, 2008
I think he can only swing away
WaddellCanseco - September 22, 2008
FAIL
doctorK - September 22, 2008
FAIL. DALE.

justarebelheart - September 22, 2008
sad...
The Golden One - September 22, 2008
OK that was just ridiculous
Horrible, horrible decision and equally wretched execution.
Nico - September 22, 2008
Does Barton even practice bunting?
WaddellCanseco - September 22, 2008
Probably right after he practices his hitting
justarebelheart - September 22, 2008
So.....no?
WaddellCanseco - September 22, 2008
He's not a bad bunter, actually
Mendoza, however, is a bad pitcher and we gave him an out for nothing.
Nico - September 22, 2008
Honestly, if you don't think Barton can hit a ground ball
to the right side, he shouldn’t be in the game. That’s what he does when you DON’T need it. Pathetic decision.

doctorK - September 22, 2008
bob geren trying to make you look forward to the winter, just a little bit...
skutch - September 22, 2008
His exact words were
“Daric you should bunt so people look foward to us not playing in October”
thesteve9x - September 22, 2008
I usually agree with Geren's moves, strangely
This is in my top 5 worst of the season.
Nico - September 22, 2008
Go Jeff!

ak_A - September 22, 2008
Lets go Travis!
justarebelheart - September 22, 2008
Damn, it took me that whole at-bat
to make this:
Englishmajor - September 22, 2008
I can has a Baisley?
thesteve9x - September 22, 2008
Worth it!
lynnzgal - September 22, 2008
I still can't believe people wear this
WaddellCanseco - September 22, 2008
Oh, so I should probably change my shirt
and maybe even my pants.. seeing as its a Baisley jumpsuit
thesteve9x - September 22, 2008
At least the underwear is normal
WaddellCanseco - September 22, 2008
Well...
thesteve9x - September 22, 2008
It puts the lotion on the skin or else it gets the hose again!
Jennifer - September 22, 2008
Are you really Monk's boss?
WaddellCanseco - September 22, 2008
LOL
I was just bookmarking the fabric site I took it from, thinking it would make nice curtains.
Englishmajor - September 22, 2008
Is Baisley good?
WaddellCanseco - September 22, 2008
Oh yes, yes he is.
lynnzgal - September 22, 2008
so, how good is he?
doctorK - September 22, 2008
Good enough for me.
thesteve9x - September 22, 2008
Good enough to hit in practically every sing run on Sunday.
lynnzgal - September 22, 2008
or single.
lynnzgal - September 22, 2008
I dunno, someone distracted me by saying he has a big ass, and now that's all I can evaluate
And I’m disappointed.
schmifty - September 22, 2008
Dude, Jack Hannahan has a huge ass.
Kimberly - September 22, 2008
I miss him already.
lynnzgal - September 22, 2008
Who, Hugh Jass?
Nico - September 22, 2008
Yeah but... ewww
I would need to put like 4 bags on his head.
schmifty - September 22, 2008
He reminds me of a nerdy kid from high school
I bet he was the nerdiest on his team
thesteve9x - September 22, 2008
I have no prob with nerds.
lynnzgal - September 22, 2008
It's cool I'm definitely nerdier than Hanahan ever could dream to be.
thesteve9x - September 22, 2008
Hannahan?
Jack Hannahan? The guy that almost died on someone’s front lawn?
Jennifer - September 22, 2008
buck will get a hit
DyeLongJustice - September 22, 2008
he's going to swoon us
in september only to let us down again next year…
DyeLongJustice - September 22, 2008
Called it!
thesteve9x - September 22, 2008
We'll always have Arlington
WaddellCanseco - September 22, 2008
Good call
Now call for a Patrol Craft HR
doctorK - September 22, 2008
lol i dont think he's gonna do it
maybe a double tho…my guess is thats all we get
DyeLongJustice - September 22, 2008
nice!
ak_A - September 22, 2008
OH! We have Sunshine Biscuits!
Englishmajor - September 22, 2008
Yay Travis!
WaddellCanseco - September 22, 2008
yay cliff...the kid can wheel
skutch - September 22, 2008
Indeed
WaddellCanseco - September 22, 2008
I missed you Travis! Woo hoo!
justarebelheart - September 22, 2008
Notice how our only out...
Nico - September 22, 2008
not only no more
ak_A - September 22, 2008
that was a slick slide
ak_A - September 22, 2008
This one's far from in the bag
That’s why the A’s needed to play for more than just one run. Hopefully, though…
Nico - September 22, 2008
It's one more than I was expecting
WaddellCanseco - September 22, 2008
Now we just have to enjoy watching Casilla blow away the Rangers
ugh
doctorK - September 22, 2008
Let Embree pitch to Blalock
Nico - September 22, 2008
Or not. Sigh.
Nico - September 22, 2008
anyone but casilla!
DyeLongJustice - September 22, 2008
He was awesome in April
WaddellCanseco - September 22, 2008
Oh how things change in September
thesteve9x - September 22, 2008
may i kindly remind you buck was awful in april?
DyeLongJustice - September 22, 2008
Not in 2007!
WaddellCanseco - September 22, 2008
alas
wit beyond measure is man’s greatest treasure….so maybe Beane should pitch this inning
DyeLongJustice - September 22, 2008
Nice use of the Ravenclaw House slogan there!
thesteve9x - September 22, 2008
its lucky
DyeLongJustice - September 22, 2008
more extras coming up.
ak_A - September 22, 2008
Ken understands the use of the subjunctive very well
as in “This would be Casilla’s second save this year”.
Englishmajor - September 22, 2008
the "contrary to fact" subjunctive?
skutch - September 22, 2008
Wow you really are an English major!
WaddellCanseco - September 22, 2008
i need this game to end in 7 minutes

doctorK - September 22, 2008
hmm
ak_A - September 22, 2008
Hmmm?
lynnzgal - September 22, 2008
Should have been Embree vs. Blalock
Nico - September 22, 2008
Embree's arthritis was actin up
thesteve9x - September 22, 2008
I recommend yoga
WaddellCanseco - September 22, 2008
I recommend Blevins
Nico - September 22, 2008
its games like these
where i wish clutch hitting was a major attribute to a batter, rather than a small/insignificant one…then we could corner the market on undervalued clutch hitters, and we might win this game.
DyeLongJustice - September 22, 2008
If we can avoid a Chris Davis walkoff we have a shot
Nico - September 22, 2008
Or any other walkoff
WaddellCanseco - September 22, 2008
They do get in the way
Nico - September 22, 2008
so does jack cust
DyeLongJustice - September 22, 2008
id rather face teargarden
walk this chump
DyeLongJustice - September 22, 2008
Arias is on deck
Nico - September 22, 2008
The SS of the future
WaddellCanseco - September 22, 2008
is he any good? do they want crosby and a bag of balls/ frank thomas' signature?
DyeLongJustice - September 22, 2008
He might have been, if not for the major injury
WaddellCanseco - September 22, 2008
This is the dawning of the age of Arias!
Jennifer - September 22, 2008
Thank you, God!
doctorK - September 22, 2008
I almost had a heart attack
justarebelheart - September 22, 2008
god may prefer he go deep
skutch - September 22, 2008
If Casilla throws another fastball he will
Nico - September 22, 2008
miss it, that is
Nico - September 22, 2008
That's the ball game!
lynnzgal - September 22, 2008
what else can he throw?
DyeLongJustice - September 22, 2008
Knuckle-scroogie?
Nico - September 22, 2008
Didn't he get the lead-off hitter with a slider?
doctorK - September 22, 2008
Up?
Jennifer - September 22, 2008
Yay Santiago!
WaddellCanseco - September 22, 2008
The Angels have three people in their line up tonight that are batting below .200
Rodriguez – .196
Mathis – .190
Willits – .190
That’s abysmal.
thesteve9x - September 22, 2008
their trying to beat us at everything!
DyeLongJustice - September 22, 2008
For them maybe. For us...
WaddellCanseco - September 22, 2008
It's business as usual.
thesteve9x - September 22, 2008
Woo hoo!

Yay Santiago again!
WaddellCanseco - September 22, 2008
Celebrate good times, c'mon!
lynnzgal - September 22, 2008
I need some beer to celebrate.
thesteve9x - September 22, 2008
and maybe some new pants
DyeLongJustice - September 22, 2008
Just pants in general.
thesteve9x - September 22, 2008
Have you seen mine, by any chance?
They weren’t at work – I know, because I was there all day.
Nico - September 22, 2008
You must have the greatest job evah!
lynnzgal - September 22, 2008
Middle school teacher and counselor
Nico - September 22, 2008
I know,
Its a joke my friend.
lynnzgal - September 22, 2008
Yeah, I left my sense of humor in my left pants pocket
Nico - September 22, 2008
It's true!
I have it right here.
thesteve9x - September 22, 2008
That's not funny
Of course, how the heck would I know?
Nico - September 22, 2008
I know what you do, and I admire it.
lynnzgal - September 22, 2008
Thanks, but there's nothing especially admirable
about screwing underage sheep.
Nico - September 22, 2008
If thats all that you did
I wouldn’t.
lynnzgal - September 22, 2008
So it's the S & M with low self-esteem goats you admire?
Call me.
Nico - September 22, 2008
Is this what happened in my room last night?
What the fuck man.
thesteve9x - September 22, 2008
Oh . . . I will!
lynnzgal - September 22, 2008
I like the needy kind.
lynnzgal - September 22, 2008
It's pronounced "bleaty"

You’re adooooorable, and very sweeeeet. Weeee’re good. Thanks.
lynnzgal - September 22, 2008

I’m new at this – are we now engaged?
Nico - September 22, 2008
Idk, Do I get the big rock?
There was some talk about this huge one they found in Africa?
lynnzgal - September 22, 2008
They found a rock in Africa?
Cindi was sure she heard that they found a frica in Iraq.
Nico - September 22, 2008
She's behind the times.
lynnzgal - September 22, 2008
I'll make make you a frico you'll really love.

lynnzgal - September 22, 2008
So what if my mom does Nico and my laundry on the same day?
thesteve9x - September 22, 2008
Guess which is dirtier
Nico - September 22, 2008
I think we already know. Haha!
here I thought there wasn’t anybody.
lynnzgal - September 22, 2008
Nico wins..

thesteve9x - September 22, 2008
Now we're talking about your pants?
Nico - September 22, 2008
I couldn't honestly tell you at this point.
thesteve9x - September 22, 2008
Did you find a tuft of wool near the pillow, by any chance?
Nobody.
Nico - September 22, 2008
Yes...
