jason stark is going to have a ball (or four) writing about this

who did Rajai pinch hit for?

with all those walks I got a little lost on the lineup

Ran for Cust earlier in the inning

thanks

He pinch ran for Cust

richwol1 - September 5, 2008 reply

thanks to you too

I love it - we can't score seven runs in a game

for 40 games, and then we score 8 in one inning. On one hit, of course.

Nico - September 5, 2008 reply

the problem is we may not score again this season

Your 2008 Oakland A's: 100% Unexplainable

Truly Bizarre.

Foulke is quite capable of giving them all back.

When "capable" goes bad :-)

no rollover runs, I guess

this must be a Verizon team

that just sounds way too

biblical

Hopefully, there won’t be a plague of boils on the next homestand.

Boils I can stand

It’s those damn frogs that I can do without.

Oh yeah

Just imagine the stench after those things died.

Where are all the Jack Cust Lovers?

Cust in no Chamberlain.

If that’s what you mean.

What the hell

You're so very young.....

and inexperienced. Ask Jack’s “friends”.

See, I was thinking Chamberlains of the Joba variety.

Forgot about the Wilt variety.

schmifty - September 5, 2008 reply

You're no cheap groupie.

Sad actually.

SwisherThresher - September 5, 2008 reply

back at the hotel?

Right here, dude. What's up?

Did you like that pick off play and grand slam by Raj as well?

No. I hate when the A's hit grand slams. Runs suck.

Ahhh....typical Cust mathmatical answer.

Ahhh... you are brilliant.

Grand slams kill rallies.

I'm overstimulated

Lucky!

This is the most ridiculous game EVER.

And of course my browser froze during Emil’s at-bat. Can’t handle this many runs.

Grand slam madness!!!!!!!!111

I really wouldn't be surprised if Foulke blew this lead.

shhh

At least he can throw strikes....right?

Orioles acting like they can't wait to get off the field

no word on Braden yet

although he did tweak his groin a couple of starts ago

Completely forgot about him.

Oops. Sorry, Dallas. Just can’t get over all these RUNS.

Too many nachos?

A'sfaninNC - September 5, 2008 reply

They're notifying next of kin first.

At least our rotations set right?

since when?

I guess you can't sense the sarcasm, we are pretty much screwed, but at leawst we have saarloos still to make a start probably for Duke, and then purchase from AAA.

you didn't sense it either?

Woo! Sweeney of the Mike variety!

I like my Sweeneys younger, hotter, blonder, and taller.

Oh no. That looked painful.

Bad plan, shoulda just taken the single.

I remember the time a few years ago...

when my dad tried to do a flip on our trampoline and broke his neck. This is a similar situation.

ahhhhhh

That made my neck hurt just reading it. < shudder >

Did Old Sweeney just try to kill himself on that slide?

dying on the basepaths..how romantic

Oh, I just died at 2nd base tonight

Must have been something I ate

Or something like that

I love our bullpen...if only we could get rid of embree and foulke and be healthy we'd be dominant.

Dozens of o's fans left in the stands.

They may actually be more pathetic than us.

good gawd, all those runs!

ak_A - September 5, 2008 reply

Its' amazing...just think how crazy someone would go if they woke up and saw this.

Zzzz...zzz..snerkle..zzz..

..zzzz..hmm?..zzz ..

AAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

Nico - September 5, 2008 reply

Think if you were drinking a beer per run

it would probably say, “thidnbfdsnsggklngrun”

First time somebody is drunk watching the A's, good job guys.

I want to see Jack's flip again.

racist

In addition.

I forgot about that too!

So many kRaZy things in this game. It’s just insane.

What
The
Fark

Why is Ziggy pitching now?

just getting some work in...

it’s not like we have a doubleheader scheduled for tomorrow… oh, wait.

We don't want to tire out Foulke.

I assume Gray isn't in Baltimore yet.

someone might be going gray in Baltimore

And why no Ziggy in KC?

:(

'Cos the team were warned about you?

He sat in the stands for at least 30 minutes before Tuesday's game.

All that family out there and they couldn't have at least given him an inning or a batter? Sad.

My first miss of a KC/Oak series in 20 years.

Couldn’t be happier :-(

I had a blast!

We had our ownership group in town so I couldn't make it.

I’m just lying to myself by saying that it was a good thing to miss the A’s. Shit. Growing up sucks!!

I don't even care they lost.

I had so much fun. Always do, no matter what I say.

Me to my boss: Something came up, I need to leave early.

I'm sincerely happy that someone could enjoy the A's.

Glad you made it, Superfan.

I looked for you. :(

I tried to find you on TV but didn't watch the day game.

I can’t wait for ’09. A new beginning will be a really good thing.

There were lots of empty seats.

I moved around a lot.

Phew.

I was afraid Ziggy was actually gonna give up a home run.

Almost gave up a bomb there

oh good, it's over

and the A’s win

Cue "Celebration"!

That was fun.

Anybody see the huge wad of gum the 1B ump spit out there?

Just after calling the last out.

Ewwww

It was 3-2, I turned to USA to watch Monk

and it became 11-2

wha?

oaklandSMASH - September 5, 2008 reply

somebody broke the box score

it says 8 in our slot where it’s supposed to say 8th inning.

oakinboston - September 5, 2008 reply

Yay!!

What fun times. I have to imagine the pinch run grand slam is a record of some sort.

Josie Becker - September 5, 2008 reply

the video of it is on gameday

wahooooooo!

FINALLY a DH with pOwER!

oakinboston - September 5, 2008 reply

Duke officially shut down for rest of season.

miggyk2 - September 5, 2008 reply

and here i was excited that i would see him tomorrow,

i hate my luck

mrbendy - September 5, 2008 reply

Yea, the A's purchased the contract of some 27 year old scrub from Sacramento.

Most likely will be used for mop up work and soon after DFA.

miggyk2 - September 5, 2008 reply

His "cup of coffee" to tell his grandkids

Which is fine, I don’t even have that.

UncleLeo - September 5, 2008 reply

You don't have to play to be a hero.

I read that somewhere. Nice sentiment.

Braden just left the game "feeling ill"

(Appleby’s?), not because of an injury

Gout? Jaundice? Avian flu?

Rickets? Shingles? Pinched goiter?

Nico - September 5, 2008 reply

None of the above

“A’s leading.” Must’ve made him dizzy.
