I always think “if you are within a grandslam and you still have outs to work with, you can win the game”… but all these terrible pop ups are making me lose confidence :(
But even if he sucks, we still got Holliday and Giambi and Chavez has looked good tonight, on both sides of the ball. Holliday and Giambi will give Swooney some room to develop and Cust/Buck will help add O. Our offense will not be a problem this year.
IMMEDIATELY ends following the game. It reminds me of how, after I’m through, the girls in Bangkok will throw me out of their room. And play annoying muzak at me.
Giving up 3 runs a game is not bad but let’s face it. We have 2 highly promising rookies and 3 number 5 starters. Actually I think Outman is a number 6 starter and maybe Eveland is a number 4.
Roomy.
Leopold Bloom - April 6, 2009

I think this thread will be good for us
WaddellCanseco - April 6, 2009
couldn't hurt
any more than the previous ones.
cityplANner - April 6, 2009
I think copious amounts of alcohol would be good for us
Tyler Bleszinski - April 6, 2009
How many fifths in a copious?
WaddellCanseco - April 6, 2009
Not enough
Tyler Bleszinski - April 6, 2009
In that case I'll have the double copious
WaddellCanseco - April 6, 2009
Let's go NEW THREAD!!
oaklandSMASH - April 6, 2009

CUST CUST CUST LETS GO!
drmmerchk - April 6, 2009
Ok we need to get something done this inning
0akFoSho - April 6, 2009
Now’s a good time to start. We already have two guys out.
Rated-R Superstar - April 6, 2009
So there's hope

Hello zombies!

walkoff baltimore chop - April 6, 2009
Do we have a bullpen thread flinger?
Nico, if we are down by 5, can you pass the ball to someone?
louismg - April 6, 2009
5 laterals
I’m a Cal guy.
Nico - April 6, 2009
I feel something is about to happen...

WaddellCanseco - April 6, 2009

Sounds like my last date....
Sorry, I couldn’t resist. I’ll stop now

walkoff baltimore chop - April 6, 2009
Yummy!
WaddellCanseco - April 6, 2009

I thought it was a pile of livers
cityplANner - April 6, 2009
ARE YOU TRYING TO ATTRACT THE ZOMBIES?!?!
walkoff baltimore chop - April 6, 2009
damn zombies better not come around.
We’ll be ready. Don’t worry.
Leopold Bloom - April 6, 2009
I've got some spare laser guns if anybody needs one.
walkoff baltimore chop - April 6, 2009
Dried livers don't attract zombies.
ElQuesoCapitan - April 6, 2009
That's what you think.
walkoff baltimore chop - April 6, 2009
LOL
We need some laughs!!
BERRYJO - April 6, 2009
come on, new thread mojo!
polytician - April 6, 2009
i really really want to use some of my images i have so cust should be nice and do something good right now
drmmerchk - April 6, 2009
I think Ibanez is pitching.
Boonee - April 6, 2009
Zonis - April 6, 2009
LAWN DARTS!
ElQuesoCapitan - April 6, 2009
I was just about to post that.
walkoff baltimore chop - April 6, 2009
was thinking of past first games of the season
two, three? years ago when Zito had the walk-a-thon and grand slam fiasco against the yanks at home? or did i dream that.
ak_A - April 6, 2009
No, it happened
athleticsgirl24 - April 6, 2009
2006. It was a very good year.
WaddellCanseco - April 6, 2009
i was there.
i try not to remember.
Jjjsixsix - April 6, 2009
Then there was that Opening Night when it rained -- hard
And it was about 46 degrees by the eighth inning, the A’s were way behind, and some of my family was saying we should maybe leave early. We didn’t.
Englishmajor - April 6, 2009
OK I think Im bad luck....
see yat next game
0akFoSho - April 6, 2009
Is that a promise or a threat?
doctorK - April 6, 2009
Kust
worldblee - April 6, 2009
Custian strick.
ElQuesoCapitan - April 6, 2009
knock it off with the dates, you are distracting cust.
greendatitiz - April 6, 2009
Cust distracts himself
I’m offering him a piece of well being.
ElQuesoCapitan - April 6, 2009
cust, that is not what i had in mind.
drmmerchk - April 6, 2009
STRICKOUTSS!!!11!
…I always wanted to say that.
cityplANner - April 6, 2009
Another true outcome!
ChadGod - April 6, 2009
i can't believe cust is batting 8th
DyeLongJustice - April 6, 2009
Yeah, not the smartest lineup, IMO
Nico - April 6, 2009
Not even the second smartest
WaddellCanseco - April 6, 2009
Only thing that makes me laugh is...
that tons of people on AN say how lucky the Angels are yet the Angels win games like this all the time. I mean after awhile its not luck anymore
asfaninpismobeach - April 6, 2009
Until they get to the playoffs
Nick - April 6, 2009
That doesn't amuse me in the least
WaddellCanseco - April 6, 2009
They have good pitching
And that helps quite a bit. Still, Saunders didn’t look very good to me tonight and the A’s still couldn’t pound him.
Tyler Bleszinski - April 6, 2009
no its still luck
ChadGod - April 6, 2009
long time no post that i have seen. welcome back.
ak_A - April 6, 2009
We've called the Angels many things
Lucky is one I don’t remember
athleticsgirl24 - April 6, 2009
Many of them rhyme with lucky, does that count?
Englishmajor - April 6, 2009
I think on a technicality, yes
athleticsgirl24 - April 6, 2009
Wuertz has a truly awesome gameday pic
worldblee - April 6, 2009
He looks like he has three or four faces.
ElQuesoCapitan - April 6, 2009
LMAO
Yeah, the second face is superimposed over the first one.
worldblee - April 6, 2009
?
oaklandSMASH - April 6, 2009
HAHAHA
ElQuesoCapitan - April 6, 2009
I think we should call Wuertz
Man E Faces
oaklandSMASH - April 6, 2009
this
walkoff baltimore chop - April 6, 2009
MIkey Wurts is in
ElQuesoCapitan - April 6, 2009
In the top of the 8th, I'd actually pinch hit Buck for Ellis
We’re not going to win without scoring 3 runs in the next two innings.
Nico - April 6, 2009
As long as Crosby's not part of the plan
WaddellCanseco - April 6, 2009
Crosby is now warming up in the bullpen
worldblee - April 6, 2009
Not only did he study hitting with McGwire
He studied pitching from Canseco.
worldblee - April 6, 2009
at least maybe he'll get some hits
and in “hit by pitches”…bum dum dum
DyeLongJustice - April 6, 2009
I'd pinch hit
Crosby for Holliday. I love to live dangerously.
Tyler Bleszinski - April 6, 2009
I want to see what a pissed off Crosby can do
ohtobe21likehuston - April 6, 2009
Turn green and fight crime?
WaddellCanseco - April 6, 2009
BOBBY SMASH!
Tyler Bleszinski - April 6, 2009
Hey, that's my line!
oaklandSMASH - April 6, 2009
My bad
Tyler Bleszinski - April 6, 2009
Saul Goode
You are the king and I am your vassal, sir.
oaklandSMASH - April 6, 2009
BLOOBY SMASH
ElQuesoCapitan - April 6, 2009
I'm guessing, "Angrily flail at a low-and-outside slider"
Nick - April 6, 2009
hahahaha
athleticsgirl24 - April 6, 2009
and limp back to dugout holding groin.
ak_A - April 6, 2009
He'll hit into impossible plays
like quadruple plays
A ball so bad that we get an automatic out next inning
ElQuesoCapitan - April 6, 2009
Brace yourselves for the BULLLLLLLLLLLPEN
ChadGod - April 6, 2009
It was the Best of times, it was the Wuertz of times.
Zonis - April 6, 2009
Good one
worldblee - April 6, 2009
yea boy
howie strikes out
MaineAthletic - April 6, 2009
Wuertz is my boy
Hi, Im Mr. Wuertz
ChadGod - April 6, 2009
If you're waving at me, Howdy!
doctorK - April 6, 2009
x2
doctorK - April 6, 2009
Kiko Calero sighting?
Zonis - April 6, 2009
Marlins game?
WaddellCanseco - April 6, 2009
whats the word on Wuertz's control?
ChadGod - April 6, 2009
bases on balls
i think you meant ‘words’
DyeLongJustice - April 6, 2009
About 11% walks....so could be better
WaddellCanseco - April 6, 2009
We'll Find OUt
right about now….Strike Out!
BERRYJO - April 6, 2009
Wow.
He’s making them look pretty bad out there.
Boonee - April 6, 2009
DAMN!
looks pretty good to me.
cityplANner - April 6, 2009
and this is why ST means nothing
DyeLongJustice - April 6, 2009
I thought it was because the games don't count in the standings
WaddellCanseco - April 6, 2009
well that too
but wuertz’ stats looked like crap in ST, if i recall correctly….
but maybe i’m wrong.
DyeLongJustice - April 6, 2009
That was a high slider.
Rated-R Superstar - April 6, 2009
Where was this inning earlier?
athleticsgirl24 - April 6, 2009
Angels swing at everything
but then again, it serves them well … wish we were a bit more aggressive up there.
Vacafan - April 6, 2009
it's vlad we're talkin about here
he has one of the highest O-Swing percentage (outside the zone) in the bigs
DyeLongJustice - April 6, 2009
something tells me
the results would be different. crosbyesque, even.
eastcoasta'sfan - April 6, 2009
wow
I forgot it could be like that.
ChadGod - April 6, 2009
Pedroia!
Drink!
chillicothe20 - April 6, 2009
Wuertz reminds me a lot of Calero when he first came over to the A's
and threw 90 MPH. Except Wuertz uses the fastball a bit more.
Nico - April 6, 2009
Does he do "the hop"?
ohtobe21likehuston - April 6, 2009
That's Sosa
WaddellCanseco - April 6, 2009
Yay Mike!
WaddellCanseco - April 6, 2009
I'm drunk
Damn Pedroia…..wait, it was my idea to make it a drinking game….I suck
athleticsgirl24 - April 6, 2009
At this point
We don’t even have to win… Ill take a run and be happy with it.
Socalfan21 - April 6, 2009
NO!
Winning is still an option.
chillicothe20 - April 6, 2009
That is a familar feeling to last year
butler19 - April 6, 2009
GAH
ChadGod - April 6, 2009
were letting balls go right down th e middle
buckfan6 - April 6, 2009
Let's fire the hitting coach
WaddellCanseco - April 6, 2009
Or hit the firing coach
athleticsgirl24 - April 6, 2009
Yup
Pitchers start us with dead read every time … 0-1 automatic.
Vacafan - April 6, 2009
oops, RED
Vacafan - April 6, 2009
Colors are fundamental
WaddellCanseco - April 6, 2009
They didn't PH with Buck
WaddellCanseco - April 6, 2009
LETS GO A’s COME ON!
drmmerchk - April 6, 2009
the most exciting thing about this game now is getting to see andrew bailey pitch for the first time.
xbhaskarx - April 6, 2009
can we please put buck in?
take out garciaparra, move cust to DH, and put giambi in the field.
if buck can’t do it, noone can
DyeLongJustice - April 6, 2009
Can't have a DH if Gumby takes the field
doctorK - April 6, 2009
you mean... how it should have been all along?
xbhaskarx - April 6, 2009
Can't move the DH into the field.
If you do, the pitcher has to hit.
Nate - April 6, 2009
and i call myself a baseball fan...
runs into the closet to hide his face and cry in the fetal position
DyeLongJustice - April 6, 2009
with stars around that last part*
DyeLongJustice - April 6, 2009
in college baseball,
the pitcher can become the DH. it’s very confusing.
Jjjsixsix - April 6, 2009
No! Not Crosby!
WaddellCanseco - April 6, 2009
So? The 9 we have ain't doing much
Nico - April 6, 2009
+1
it makes me look smart
DyeLongJustice - April 6, 2009
LETS GO OAK-LAND!
Please?
Boonee - April 6, 2009
i hope they’re saving all their offense for the rest of this series haha i want to see something awesome tomorrow!
drmmerchk - April 6, 2009
yeah... they're saving it for AN Day!
… hopefully.
buddahead9 - April 6, 2009
1-2-3
fun
oaklandSMASH - April 6, 2009
I am starting to suspect that Cabrera sucks
doctorK - April 6, 2009
one of three guys with a hit...
not to overlook Cust
ChadGod - April 6, 2009
A double, followed by an absolutely incredible brain cramp
(and yes, I’m overreacting)
doctorK - April 6, 2009
Thats what happens when you coem half way through spring training
buckfan6 - April 6, 2009
What a popout .
I call for epic top of the 9th
ElQuesoCapitan - April 6, 2009
The Pirates did it
WaddellCanseco - April 6, 2009
hmmm
This isn’t what I expected
butler19 - April 6, 2009
Remember last year we lost our 1st game, but won the 2nd...
Of course this will be pretty much the only game I see on TV this season.
athleticsgirl24 - April 6, 2009
Fuentes is a shaky closer
The ninth is OUR inning.
chillicothe20 - April 6, 2009
This is our independence day
athleticsgirl24 - April 6, 2009
THIS IS SPARTA
drink409 - April 6, 2009
Yeah, and on top of that, we have Giambi, Holliday, Garciaparra, and Chavez coming up.
Rated-R Superstar - April 6, 2009
Plenty of popups for everybody
mikev - April 6, 2009
I always think “if you are within a grandslam and you still have outs to work with, you can win the game”… but all these terrible pop ups are making me lose confidence :(
drmmerchk - April 6, 2009
Nooo.....don't lose hope!
WaddellCanseco - April 6, 2009
Oh I still think we can do it (especially with the guys we have coming up) but… well… I think it less every time they have terrible at bats haha.
drmmerchk - April 6, 2009
awesome, I like chicks with self-esteem issues.
Amnesiac - April 6, 2009
In that case....Hello there ;)
athleticsgirl24 - April 6, 2009
lol. Nice!
Amnesiac - April 6, 2009
lol
drmmerchk - April 6, 2009
bailey and cream time
DyeLongJustice - April 6, 2009
Ellis's AB was freakin' horrible...
brenarlo - April 6, 2009
Gotta get there first
waxman - April 6, 2009
I love how your icon is an animated Ultimate Warrior
That guy is outta his mind
oaklandSMASH - April 6, 2009
C'mon Bailey, hold it at three runs
doctorK - April 6, 2009
Wow I'm sure glad I checked the game.
Didn’t take long for the Spring Training “score runs early” MO to wear off.
Midseason form already for the shitty popups and dominance at the hands of merely decent pitchers.
mikev - April 6, 2009
andrew bailey, i like you.
drmmerchk - April 6, 2009
+1
worldblee - April 6, 2009
Heyyyyyy
I was gonna say that!
BERRYJO - April 6, 2009
Made Morales look terrible.
Nate - April 6, 2009
Actually, he is terrible
doctorK - April 6, 2009
drmmerchk - April 6, 2009
i wanted to at least use something
drmmerchk - April 6, 2009
is that like sesame street or something?
DyeLongJustice - April 6, 2009
I have a feeling
this group isn’t gonna want to learn any OTHER letters…..
BERRYJO - April 6, 2009
let's go bad rivera
K is the letter of the day
DyeLongJustice - April 6, 2009
And the number of the day is ZERO
Amnesiac - April 6, 2009
Have faith!
Nick - April 6, 2009
does he really go by drew or is that just the angels announcers being … angels announcers?
drmmerchk - April 6, 2009
OUR guys are calling him Andrew
doctorK - April 6, 2009
He’s listed as “Drew Bailey” in the media guide.
Rated-R Superstar - April 6, 2009
Honestly, this game isn't NEAR as bad as I thought it'd be
athleticsgirl24 - April 6, 2009
Just not as good as you waned it to be
oaklandSMASH - April 6, 2009
Wanted
sorry
oaklandSMASH - April 6, 2009
bullpen's looked really good.
Dallas looked good against a moderately tough lineup.
Our bats will come to life. There’s too much talent there to even really worry about it.
I think we’re okay this season.
Leopold Bloom - April 6, 2009
+1
doctorK - April 6, 2009
Cabrera looked like shit.
Not that Crosby wouldn’t have.. but just sayin
mikev - April 6, 2009
Isn't he a notoriously slow starter?
But even if he sucks, we still got Holliday and Giambi and Chavez has looked good tonight, on both sides of the ball. Holliday and Giambi will give Swooney some room to develop and Cust/Buck will help add O. Our offense will not be a problem this year.
Leopold Bloom - April 6, 2009
Maybe he was trying too hard tonight against his former team
(and yes, I was dumping on him earlier)
doctorK - April 6, 2009
I think we are too! I’m really looking forward to seeing what all the young guys can do. It’s always one of my fav things about A’s baseball.
drmmerchk - April 6, 2009
I like your optimism
WaddellCanseco - April 6, 2009
true.
I’d rather have that 2000-04 sub-par first half, amazing 2nd half.
Than the 2008 surprising 1st half, piss poor 2nd half.
buddahead9 - April 6, 2009
2004 2nd half wasn't that great....especially the last series
WaddellCanseco - April 6, 2009
ok 2000-03...
buddahead9 - April 6, 2009
Our bullpen is sick-nasty
anyone opposed to just giving one inning a night to nine relievers?
MaineAthletic - April 6, 2009
Crafty
worldblee - April 6, 2009
+5000
chillicothe20 - April 6, 2009
OAKLAND A'S YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
ElQuesoCapitan - April 6, 2009
Yay Andrew!
WaddellCanseco - April 6, 2009
Bailey looked GREAT
Challenge-worthy fastball and enough else to keep you late on the fastball. Nice job.
Nico - April 6, 2009
A huge curve too.
Not like Gallagher.
WaddellCanseco - April 6, 2009
I like Bailey.
Which is, y’know, something.
Kyli - April 6, 2009
Big Arm
waxman - April 6, 2009
You know what they say about big arms *wink wink*
athleticsgirl24 - April 6, 2009
This was a dirty post!
ElQuesoCapitan - April 6, 2009
yeah, sorry about that.

oaklandSMASH - April 6, 2009
Giambi gets hit
Holliday gets a hit. Nomar homar.

Lets slam dunk it right now.

Sure.
Good totem. Wards off zombies.
Leopold Bloom - April 6, 2009
LETS GO A’s LETS GO!!!!
drmmerchk - April 6, 2009
If we win now, it will break their SOULS.
Kyli - April 6, 2009
I'm gonna have to skip the game thread tomorrow night
didn’t get nearly enough work done on my paper
MaineAthletic - April 6, 2009
pretty simple story
One guy— Chavez— had good plate appearances. And Cust the first two times up. Other than that, nada.
jasonthea - April 6, 2009
i really hope pedroia's brother is convicted
xbhaskarx - April 6, 2009
OK
Let’s score here.
Getting shut out by this outfit pisses me off.
I guess I knew not to go tonight
Trainman - April 6, 2009
You live near Anaheim?
WaddellCanseco - April 6, 2009
I liked the duck commercial
I’m sure it’s another one that Comcast has in every market, but it was cute.
Englishmajor - April 6, 2009
LETS GO OAKLAND!!!
drmmerchk - April 6, 2009
clapclap clapclapclap!
Leopold Bloom - April 6, 2009
Does Giambi do anything?
athleticsgirl24 - April 6, 2009
HE DOES NOTHING.
ElQuesoCapitan - April 6, 2009
Except for those times he does something.
worldblee - April 6, 2009
that's what I thought
But I thought maybe I was just skewed because of my poor opinion of him
athleticsgirl24 - April 6, 2009
he's a wonderful conversationalist.
Leopold Bloom - April 6, 2009
Gets hit in the butt.
Nate - April 6, 2009
he takes up space
chillicothe20 - April 6, 2009
Tomorrow, he's getting out the leopard thong!
Nick - April 6, 2009
I'm starting to think that as well
butler19 - April 6, 2009
he has interesting facial hair.
Leopold Bloom - April 6, 2009
9-3
Nate - April 6, 2009
come on A's!!!!
chillicothe20 - April 6, 2009
Giambi fail.
worldblee - April 6, 2009
Giambi, if you were a dog, Billy would take you back to the pound.
Kyli - April 6, 2009
But not before having Chavez take him out to take a dump on Joe Morgan's lawn
Nick - April 6, 2009
holliday's going yard
I called a 3-1 final like an hour ago
jasonthea - April 6, 2009

FFFFFFFF MOTT
ElQuesoCapitan - April 6, 2009
i don't like popups.
Jjjsixsix - April 6, 2009
you must be enjoying this game haha ;)
drmmerchk - April 6, 2009
What about the ones that tell you you've won
if you click here?
worldblee - April 6, 2009
Yes
Apart from Chavy hitting a couple of deep outs, the rest of them didn’t hit their way out of their paper bags.
Trainman - April 6, 2009
tis early, m'man. long season.
Leopold Bloom - April 6, 2009
nomah!
Leopold Bloom - April 6, 2009
Are we the only team to be shut out today?
butler19 - April 6, 2009
Two games were postponed.
Does that count?
Nate - April 6, 2009
sure, that can count
butler19 - April 6, 2009
Yes.
Rated-R Superstar - April 6, 2009
well, both the Royals and White Sox were,
as well as the Red Sox and the Rays.

greendatitiz - April 6, 2009

chillicothe20 - April 6, 2009
Technically, its THEIR opening night.
Amnesiac - April 6, 2009
Sigh.
Your 2009 Oakland Athletics.
Kyli - April 6, 2009
OH HELLS BELLS
athleticsgirl24 - April 6, 2009

ElQuesoCapitan - April 6, 2009

walkoff baltimore chop - April 6, 2009

How appropriate
oaklandSMASH - April 6, 2009
Light up the Halo
says Steve Physioc
God that guy is nauseating
Trainman - April 6, 2009
Have you seen, "I Love You, Man"?
worldblee - April 6, 2009
He's like the douche who plays the other real estate agent.
worldblee - April 6, 2009
lol i was wondering where you were going with this
drmmerchk - April 6, 2009
Hunter screws us again.
C’mon Torii. Don’t run so hard. For old times sake.
worldblee - April 6, 2009
Ugh. A loss.
WaddellCanseco - April 6, 2009
What, no douchebag performance on the mound after getting a routine save?
doctorK - April 6, 2009
No baserunners in the last 4 innings.
brenarlo - April 6, 2009
well that was disappointing. :(
I am hoping tomorrow is better, can’t keep these hitters down too long!
LETS GO OAKLAND! GET ’EM TOMORROW! WOOO!
drmmerchk - April 6, 2009
To recap:
The sky is falling…the season is doomed. We’re all going to die….it’s the end of t world….
athleticsgirl24 - April 6, 2009
Oh baseball, I missed you!
Kyli - April 6, 2009
My Favorite Game Moment?
HD Defining Play in a game NOT broadcast in HD. Huh??
BERRYJO - April 6, 2009
It's been real
let’s hope for excellence tomorrow from cahill
MaineAthletic - April 6, 2009
Where was this great offense we were supposed to have?
fansince1980 - April 6, 2009
too many fish tacos today
jasonthea - April 6, 2009
You can never have enough fish tacos
WaddellCanseco - April 6, 2009
It went on the DL with everyone else.
walkoff baltimore chop - April 6, 2009
I blame zombies.
Leopold Bloom - April 6, 2009
It's ALWAYS the zombies' fault.
walkoff baltimore chop - April 6, 2009
all by ourselves in last
will we view that stupid double steal as the moment it started going downhill this season? LOL
jasonthea - April 6, 2009
Fuck the win tomorrow...
I am I hoping we could jus score a god damn run…
Socalfan21 - April 6, 2009
i gotta change my calendar
apparently its still 2008.
DyeLongJustice - April 6, 2009
yep
butler19 - April 6, 2009
Mindi Bach annoys me.
I can’t really place why…but she does. A lot.
Boonee - April 6, 2009
What happened to the other cute one?
Amnesiac - April 6, 2009
ElQuesoCapitan - April 6, 2009
i think we all know that feeling
drink409 - April 6, 2009
LMAO
That’s what I need after a loss.
worldblee - April 6, 2009
do you just have these stored on your computer, waiting for the perfect time to strike?
cuz if so,
you’re my idol.
DyeLongJustice - April 6, 2009
There's a big folder called Failures.
Perhaps.
ElQuesoCapitan - April 6, 2009
You already have a photo ready for every A's loss,
don’t you?
walkoff baltimore chop - April 6, 2009
ROFL
walkoff baltimore chop - April 6, 2009
Soccer -- the game that's all about kicking balls
Nick - April 6, 2009
"Too much pitching for the A's tonight"
That’s funny. Just trot anybody out there .. hell, we’ll make him a millionaire. Quick.
Vacafan - April 6, 2009
I hate how Comcast's MLB package
IMMEDIATELY ends following the game. It reminds me of how, after I’m through, the girls in Bangkok will throw me out of their room. And play annoying muzak at me.
Leopold Bloom - April 6, 2009
aaaagggghh! that set is too bright! my eyes!
greendatitiz - April 6, 2009
I won't get to see a game for a while now
I’m off to get ready for bed….Still I feel like “GO A’s!!! WOOOO HOOOOO”
athleticsgirl24 - April 6, 2009
I'll give this one up
for a series win
Go A’s
oaklandSMASH - April 6, 2009
waiting for one shining moment... sigh.
also, FIRE MACHA NOW. yes, i meant macha.
Jjjsixsix - April 6, 2009
We always lose the season opener anyway
Even when we were winning the division.
worldblee - April 6, 2009
I can't remember the last time our postgame show didn't start like
“Hey, there’s a reason Joe Saunders Tim Wakefield Mike Andrews Tim Schlub Don Smith Mike Johnson won x games last year …”
Vacafan - April 6, 2009
All I ask for tomorrow is for Trevor Cahill
to keep the ball down and not get too amped up. That is going to be tough because I am sure he will be very, very nervous.
Trainman - April 6, 2009
Go A's!
We’ve still got a chance at the series!
But judging from the vibe around here, the season is dooooooooomed!
Boonee - April 6, 2009
We need our offense to show up
Giving up 3 runs a game is not bad but let’s face it. We have 2 highly promising rookies and 3 number 5 starters. Actually I think Outman is a number 6 starter and maybe Eveland is a number 4.
Trainman - April 6, 2009
this thread’s wordle thing haha:
drmmerchk - April 6, 2009
It's zombie-free!
walkoff baltimore chop - April 6, 2009
I should do them for the other threads, i’m sure there will be a zombie in at least one of them lol
drmmerchk - April 6, 2009
lol. I sometimes get the idea that mentioning zombies too much here might actually let them know of our plans.
walkoff baltimore chop - April 6, 2009
Quite right.
Simply because they’re brainless killing machines doesn’t mean they can’t (and don’t) read game threads.
Leopold Bloom - April 6, 2009
I think it was sweet of our boys to let the Slegna win their opener
Very gentlemanly….don’t do it again.
Englishmajor - April 6, 2009
GAME RECAP IS UP
Here.
Nico - April 6, 2009
at least the offense couldn’t be any worse. Good job to saunders.
good pitching from the a’s as well.
just split the series.
Walton711 - April 6, 2009
but there’s 4 games, let’s take the next 3 and win it! :)
