Rajai made an error…Sure long run but he didnt have to dive, didnt have to do anything except catch a baseball like a normal human being cuz he ran it all the way down…
and Jumps in the air…and likely a downstairs neighbor who is none too happy to be hearing this excitement at 10 pm…but ah frick em nice come from behind win
to snatch victory from the Angels and hand them a big ole heaping, stinking, pile of eat shit and die? Still miss k-rod, but this guy Fuentes may grow on me.
gigglingone - April 8, 2009

Pino - April 8, 2009
Rally Cupcake!
lynnzgal - April 8, 2009

ATLDuck - April 8, 2009
Mmmmm.....Mojo!
GreenNGoldSooner - April 8, 2009
the cupcake worked
do it again anytime
jasonthea - April 8, 2009
You were SO waiting for that!
lynnzgal - April 8, 2009
I started it an inning ago, but it took a while to write
but yes, for the past batter or two, I was hitting refresh on the main page waiting for the thread to open up…. ;)
By the way, I’m having fun with frosting tonight. You will all be the beneficiaries of this on Friday.
gigglingone - April 8, 2009
Make a "Roomy" one.
lynnzgal - April 8, 2009
nah, i bet that cupcake was baked "live"
AV - April 8, 2009
Woot woot
Helloooo 1st - April 8, 2009
come on suzuki!!!
vooya40 - April 8, 2009
Zooks!
worldblee - April 8, 2009
Couldn't kurt have done that with the bases juiced?
winchester5 - April 8, 2009
Apparently not.
GreenNGoldSooner - April 8, 2009
wow...
a first to third for cust!
thashyt - April 8, 2009
Be still my beating heart
Helloooo 1st - April 8, 2009
I won't get excited until someone crosses the plate...
Socalfan21 - April 8, 2009
very cool
awright, Cust and Suzuki
now can we get some runners home?
OaklandSi - April 8, 2009
Pinch hit Matt Holliday
for Rajai.
VORP is too nerdy - April 8, 2009
Let's hope we get that far
Helloooo 1st - April 8, 2009
No lefty available to pinch hit -
Holliday, Crosby, Nomar. I don’t count Powell because he’s never had an AB.
Nico - April 8, 2009
Who plays in the outfield then?
worldblee - April 8, 2009
Crosby.
OldhamA - April 8, 2009
Somebody who can hit?
Joey C. - April 8, 2009
Pinch hit anyone for Rajai
winchester5 - April 8, 2009
i'll start warming up
thashyt - April 8, 2009
I'd give you an AB
winchester5 - April 8, 2009
yeah when i played little league my stance was so low
that my strike zone was non-existant
thashyt - April 8, 2009
BoCro?
GreenNGoldSooner - April 8, 2009
Sophie's Choice!
Nico - April 8, 2009
Sophie would've let him drown, dude.
Leopold Bloom - April 8, 2009
We have to...
if we want to score… we have too
Socalfan21 - April 8, 2009
Nomah to pinch hit!
ATLDuck - April 8, 2009
Does someone want to mention to the new look lineup
that it’s not just the kids for whom they have to provide run support, but the, erm, veteran pitchers too?
alea iacta est - April 8, 2009
I assume you're talkin about our pen, cos I wouldn't count Eveland, Braden or
Outman as veterans!
OldhamA - April 8, 2009
no I know
I was sorta making a joke that they’d kinda misunderstood.
i’m saving all the good stuff for my paying jobs. erm, yeah.
alea iacta est - April 8, 2009
How many hits can we have and still not score a run?
baseballgirl - April 8, 2009
hush you!
this is a good mojo thread! leave those negative thoughts in the other game threads!!!
gigglingone - April 8, 2009
Haha...sorry. Lack of cupcakes make me grumpy
baseballgirl - April 8, 2009
give me two days notice for when you are in town for a game, and I'll make you cupcakes.
gigglingone - April 8, 2009
at most 6 in an inning, i think.
Jjjsixsix - April 8, 2009
Seriously, why do I irrationaly hate Buck?
baseballgirl - April 8, 2009
irrationally
baseballgirl - April 8, 2009
His rugged good looks?
Leopold Bloom - April 8, 2009
his stance gets on my nerves
Holliday in the hole!!
thashyt - April 8, 2009
π?
GreenNGoldSooner - April 8, 2009
See I really like him, I think it's the doubles swing he showed in his
first trip to the majors. He’s been terrible since though.
OldhamA - April 8, 2009
the only reason i can think of
is his hair.
it is rather silly.
oh, and maybe that oversized wristband
alea iacta est - April 8, 2009
Travis is due...I hope
winchester5 - April 8, 2009
Due to strikeout
Socalfan21 - April 8, 2009
baaaaaaad mojo
thashyt - April 8, 2009
*hopes and prays
vooya40 - April 8, 2009
HOLLIDAY
WOOT!!
Pino - April 8, 2009
Let's go Travis!
baseballgirl - April 8, 2009
Holiday for Davis
DCinWC - April 8, 2009
At least he didn't strike out on 3 pitches this time
winchester5 - April 8, 2009
NOOOOOO
vooya40 - April 8, 2009
travis buck blows
winchester5 - April 8, 2009
I HATE Travis Buck.
baseballgirl - April 8, 2009
I second that motion
winchester5 - April 8, 2009
Oh my god Buck you scum...
It was right down the middle lmao
Socalfan21 - April 8, 2009
How fucking hard is it to hit a flyball?
Helloooo 1st - April 8, 2009
How did he not swing the bat on that pitch?!?!
ATLDuck - April 8, 2009
That was a good pitch. It moved to catch the inside part of the plate.
OldhamA - April 8, 2009
Way to take strike 3 like a man, Travis
worldblee - April 8, 2009
wasn't his pitch
DCinWC - April 8, 2009
I like Travis Buck
but he redefines “no clue” sometimes
Vacafan - April 8, 2009
Swing the bat, meat.
baseballgirl - April 8, 2009
These pitches are right down the middle... what is going on?
Socalfan21 - April 8, 2009
Angels in the outfield...
Pino - April 8, 2009
I'm not liking the negativity.
VORP is too nerdy - April 8, 2009
Way to look the ball into the center of the strike zone, Travis!
GreenNGoldSooner - April 8, 2009
I HATE negativity!
Nick - April 8, 2009

baseballgirl - April 8, 2009

baseballgirl - April 8, 2009

From where I’m sitting we haven’t scored yet.
GreenNGoldSooner - April 8, 2009
WOOT
Pino - April 8, 2009
OMG!!! WE SCORED!!!
vooya40 - April 8, 2009
yay we scored a run!
Socalfan21 - April 8, 2009

Jjjsixsix - April 8, 2009
Man, that was a really dumb play by Chone
Nick - April 8, 2009
NICE!!!!!
We take a mental error here!
baseballgirl - April 8, 2009
Thankyou Mr Figgins.
OldhamA - April 8, 2009
Thank you God!!!!
Flood gates, feel free to open
Helloooo 1st - April 8, 2009
What a way to score
ATLDuck - April 8, 2009
Woohoo!
A Custian slide.
danmerqury - April 8, 2009

DCinWC - April 8, 2009
Niiiice Cust....maybe im starting to like this Cust hitting second idea

thashyt - April 8, 2009
Bonehead play of the year?
Nico - April 8, 2009
What the hell was Figgy thinking?
GreenNGoldSooner - April 8, 2009
Woooo!
TY grannie pants!
lynnzgal - April 8, 2009
Holliday
for the tie?
Pino - April 8, 2009
the cupcake was on-the-board mojo!
you gotta bake one every game now….
AV - April 8, 2009
THREE RUN BOMB BY MATT?????
winchester5 - April 8, 2009
once again, the pace of cust comes through
alea iacta est - April 8, 2009
please holliday….
Socalfan21 - April 8, 2009
That umpire SUCKS!
He was gonna be safe by a mile, and he was ready to ring him up.
Vacafan - April 8, 2009
No double play!!!
Socalfan21 - April 8, 2009
I will take a single
Please get a hit, please please please please please
Helloooo 1st - April 8, 2009
somebody break out that Jizz in my pants gif!
ATLDuck - April 8, 2009
Thanks again, Napoli
You’re a real bud.
worldblee - April 8, 2009
Prediction:
Holliday singles, 2 runs score.
VORP is too nerdy - April 8, 2009
Why would you jinx us like that
Helloooo 1st - April 8, 2009
I'm sorry.
Please don’t hit me. Please.
VORP is too nerdy - April 8, 2009
motel hotel holiday in
greala - April 8, 2009
LET'S GO OAK-LAND!
baseballgirl - April 8, 2009
(try to lighten the mood; let's go!)
baseballgirl - April 8, 2009
I support the mojo in this thread.
Kyli - April 8, 2009
Swing. The. Bat.
baseballgirl - April 8, 2009
WTF! =[
vooya40 - April 8, 2009
Holliday jus looked at pitch...
Socalfan21 - April 8, 2009
Damn...Rajai could've done THAT
thashyt - April 8, 2009
NOOOOO!
that hasnt been a strike all night WTF!
Pino - April 8, 2009
Hahahaha
We are trying our best to not score tonight, Chone be damned!
Helloooo 1st - April 8, 2009
WHAT THE HELL IS WITH LOOKING AT PITCHES RIGHT DOWN THE PIPE? SWING
winchester5 - April 8, 2009
Clearly you're looking at the same plate as the umpire.
That barely caught the outside part of the plate, and that’s very questionable.
OldhamA - April 8, 2009
Maybe not right down the pipe, but there is no doubt that you
have to at least swing at that pitch. It def caught some of the plate
winchester5 - April 8, 2009
You still don't want to sit on it like that.
GreenNGoldSooner - April 8, 2009
Meh, if that's his style of hitting so be it.
Even if he hits that it’s going nowhere.
OldhamA - April 8, 2009
Holliday from hitting
worldblee - April 8, 2009
Jeez this is a wide strikezone.
OldhamA - April 8, 2009
Im glad we brought him in to strikeout
Socalfan21 - April 8, 2009
Thanks for pinch-hittin.
Vacafan - April 8, 2009
Looked like a strike to me...should have got the bat off his shoulder
winchester5 - April 8, 2009
time for Ryan's new found power
now he’s a man, not a boy
alea iacta est - April 8, 2009
i'd like to say I called that
but then, even a stopped clock is right twice a day
alea iacta est - April 8, 2009
Ry!
Let’s do it baby!
lynnzgal - April 8, 2009
sweeney???
mattman - April 8, 2009
Holliday seems like hes here
Jus to collect his paycheck….
Socalfan21 - April 8, 2009
He just expects a major league umpire to do his goddamn job
I don’t think that’s asking too much.
Joey C. - April 8, 2009
It was a strike
Nick - April 8, 2009
I agree, even though I hate to say it. It looked good to me.
winchester5 - April 8, 2009
Compared to every other professional ballplayer?
OldhamA - April 8, 2009
his at bats have just reached double figures
IT’S TIME TO JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS11111!!!!!1
alea iacta est - April 8, 2009
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Helloooo 1st - April 8, 2009

Pino - April 8, 2009

worldblee - April 8, 2009
RYANN WOO!!
vooya40 - April 8, 2009

Socalfan21 - April 8, 2009

gigglingone - April 8, 2009

mattman - April 8, 2009
LIFE!! OMG!!
Jjjsixsix - April 8, 2009
Oh life...
…is bigger
It’s bigger than you
And you are not me
GreenNGoldSooner - April 8, 2009
He swung the bat!! At a fastball!!
Nick - April 8, 2009
Sweeney has been great so far
Pino - April 8, 2009
yes!!! one more run, come on!!
OaklandSi - April 8, 2009
I'm developing a man crush on Ryan Sweeney.
VORP is too nerdy - April 8, 2009
Me too
ATLDuck - April 8, 2009
Mine is here full blown i think
notice my offer below
yawedout21 - April 8, 2009
I wonder what his favorite color is?
ATLDuck - April 8, 2009
Or his favorite ice cream flavor?
ATLDuck - April 8, 2009
HAHA
any ideas?
yawedout21 - April 8, 2009
Probably Vanilla
ATLDuck - April 8, 2009
Amazing what happens when you swing the bat!!!
Vacafan - April 8, 2009
Awesome. The kid’s going to have a breakout season
ATLDuck - April 8, 2009
Perhaps. He's still just hitting singles. He was doing that last year.
OldhamA - April 8, 2009
Wrapping Ry in bacon.
Its good!
lynnzgal - April 8, 2009
O-Cab... redeem yourself!!!
Socalfan21 - April 8, 2009
i'm loving that
lack of cheering in the background
AV - April 8, 2009
Ryan SWEEENEY
you, me, babies?
yawedout21 - April 8, 2009
Sweeney can go 0-the rest of the season and I'll still be happy
Helloooo 1st - April 8, 2009
I'll quote you on that.
OldhamA - April 8, 2009
Haha damn paparazzi
Helloooo 1st - April 8, 2009
Can we pinch hit Sweeney for OCab right now?
winchester5 - April 8, 2009
ahhaaha
i wish
yawedout21 - April 8, 2009
The tease is on.
Syphon - April 8, 2009
And a steal!
worldblee - April 8, 2009
He's doing it all!
worldblee - April 8, 2009
Stolen base.
What can’t he do?
VORP is too nerdy - April 8, 2009
...I like Ryan Sweeney.
Kyli - April 8, 2009
stolen base?!
Jjjsixsix - April 8, 2009
Me gusta Sweeño
Joey C. - April 8, 2009
Cabrera
should’ve stepped into that one
thashyt - April 8, 2009
My god...
I thought he was out… whatever Ill take it!!! Come on Ocab
Socalfan21 - April 8, 2009
OMG!
Rally Cupcakes!
lynnzgal - April 8, 2009
Quick
Pinch hit Bobby Crosby for O-Cab
VORP is too nerdy - April 8, 2009
Please Orlando
Please
Helloooo 1st - April 8, 2009
just keep the innins going for Giambi will do...
alea iacta est - April 8, 2009
Come on, O-Dawg
ATLDuck - April 8, 2009
wrong player
that guy wears blue in LA
Pino - April 8, 2009
PLEASE
Pino - April 8, 2009
I love Ryan sweeney omg
drmmerchk - April 8, 2009
That one stupid run
Athletic - April 8, 2009
O-Cab lets go!!!
Socalfan21 - April 8, 2009
Sweeney is now hitting .462 this year
thashyt - April 8, 2009
I predict that he will regress to the mean.
GreenNGoldSooner - April 8, 2009
Stop being so negative!
OldhamA - April 8, 2009
Someone summon the clutch monster!
Syphon - April 8, 2009
i think he's out for lunch
alea iacta est - April 8, 2009
it can only be awoken once per 8 innings
Pino - April 8, 2009
Cool, so we'll have him in the 9th and then not again till the 7th tomorrow.
I’m down with that deal.
OldhamA - April 8, 2009
/Sigh
Syphon - April 8, 2009
Wow that was close
Athletic - April 8, 2009
That one run by Sringer really freaking stings right now........
winchester5 - April 8, 2009
It was unearned
Why the A’s are trailing:
Nico - April 8, 2009
OCab is very consistent
worldblee - April 8, 2009
No he isn't
He consistently sucks…
Socalfan21 - April 8, 2009
WHAT THE HELL
What is with us ruining hitter’s counts?
Helloooo 1st - April 8, 2009
FUH
id rather have crosby out there.
vooya40 - April 8, 2009
Crosby woulda got a hit!
Syphon - April 8, 2009
Lol!
lynnzgal - April 8, 2009
yawn.
good job o-cab.
i hate railing on him, but in the whole 3 games we’ve played so far this year…
Jjjsixsix - April 8, 2009
Well..
Giambi – Chavez – Cust coming up next inning.
Can’t really get much better than that.
I’d like to insert a Pujols there though.
VORP is too nerdy - April 8, 2009
Sweet...all leftys vs Fuentes.
Sounds like fun.
Syphon - April 8, 2009
Accept that Fuentes is a lefty...thats going to be a tough run for the A's
winchester5 - April 8, 2009
Except
winchester5 - April 8, 2009
I can accept it
but i don’t have to like it
alea iacta est - April 8, 2009
Problem is...they are lefties.
baseballgirl - April 8, 2009
All lefties
against an all-star lefty closer… it could be better.
Pino - April 8, 2009
I'd pinch hit Nomar for Chavez.
OldhamA - April 8, 2009
How about..
A matt holliday who looks at pitches right down the middle?
Socalfan21 - April 8, 2009
Cabrera=buzz kill
hitting 2nd? are we done with this experiment? (I know its early and plus im not in the camp of cust at 2nd anyways)
yawedout21 - April 8, 2009
Then stop complaining.
You didn’t want Cust up there in that spot? OK.
Nico - April 8, 2009
OK
right there sure i did…but im saying overall im not sold on it…but that keeps happening im sold
yawedout21 - April 8, 2009
Well.. at least we made this game close.
We could have easily won this game if we would have scored one of our 80 LOBs
Socalfan21 - April 8, 2009
+10
baseballgirl - April 8, 2009
+1
yawedout21 - April 8, 2009
Ugh, MLB.TV totally crapped out all of last half inning.
I assume Sweeney did well.
danmerqury - April 8, 2009
hey fuentes isnt THAT good
this is possible
ChadGod - April 8, 2009
nope
DCinWC - April 8, 2009
Is Garciaparra available?
VORP is too nerdy - April 8, 2009
You thinking what I'm thinking?
Helloooo 1st - April 8, 2009
who you guys want him to pinch hit for?
with the Lefty/Lefty/Lefty ninth
yawedout21 - April 8, 2009
None of those three
One swing of the bat from any could tie it, lefty on lefty be damned!
Helloooo 1st - April 8, 2009
yep
Plus Ive never been all that big on fuentes anyways
yawedout21 - April 8, 2009
Pinch for Chavez or Giambi?
ChadGod - April 8, 2009
Suzuki, if he gets the chance.
danmerqury - April 8, 2009
Chavez.
OldhamA - April 8, 2009
Plug him in there in Chavvy’s spot
ATLDuck - April 8, 2009
Bailey time, huh?
Let’s get it buddy!
Emmett89 - April 8, 2009
Its both sad and funny that we have 3 Lefties coming up
ChadGod - April 8, 2009
If Holliday is good enough to play left then why didn't the Puss not start the game?
I’m getting annoyed by him
winchester5 - April 8, 2009
wow, remind me not to complain around here when I have the flu....
gigglingone - April 8, 2009
Or try to use proper English
Joey C. - April 8, 2009
Ouch i just noted that
winchester5 - April 8, 2009
S'all in good fun
Joey C. - April 8, 2009
Can _you_ play outfield?
GreenNGoldSooner - April 8, 2009
Actually...
winchester5 - April 8, 2009
I assume you're not serious
Joey C. - April 8, 2009
I'd bet
He didnt make the final decision…but could be wrong
yawedout21 - April 8, 2009
Horrible grammer.. but i'm pissed
winchester5 - April 8, 2009
Really? Seriously?
He has the flu. What do you expect?
danmerqury - April 8, 2009
Him to be god. Thats what I thought he was...
winchester5 - April 8, 2009
I'd trade Street, Gonzalez, and Smith for God anyday.
Does He play short?
danmerqury - April 8, 2009
lol
winchester5 - April 8, 2009
Is there any chance that they reconvert this Bailey kid back to a starter? He’s sick!
ATLDuck - April 8, 2009
I was hoping they would actually.
Syphon - April 8, 2009
I thought this was the guy who was much, much better in the pen
cos he amped up his fastball. Plus he only has two pitches.
Unless I’m mistaken.
OldhamA - April 8, 2009
No, you're thinking of Holliday
Nick - April 8, 2009
Bailey
Has that Harden strikeout shirt tuck in sort of thing going on.
Hope that made sense!
Emmett89 - April 8, 2009
Lefties hit .209 against Fuentes last year...
thashyt - April 8, 2009
Oh wait
that’s shields
thashyt - April 8, 2009
.1........8........4.....for fuentes
thashyt - April 8, 2009
Defense is not a strength
WaddellCanseco - April 8, 2009
27 hits in 2 games so far
That should equate to 2 wins.
Maybe 29 hits does.
Nomar 0-6 against Fuentes
Trainman - April 8, 2009
/Sigh again.
Syphon - April 8, 2009
Lord
Cust would have had that.
Emmett89 - April 8, 2009
Hahaha
Do we want to win?
Helloooo 1st - April 8, 2009
Mark's little skip there was comically late
i laughed
alea iacta est - April 8, 2009
NO!!!!
ELLIS E!
ChadGod - April 8, 2009
I blame Sweeney for this.
ChadGod - April 8, 2009
Messy!
lynnzgal - April 8, 2009
too many dropped fly balls tonight
OaklandSi - April 8, 2009
grumble.
if rajai didn’t make an error, mark didn’t either.
Jjjsixsix - April 8, 2009
A lotta near-collisions so far this year
Nick - April 8, 2009
huh.
Must be opposite day.
Leopold Bloom - April 8, 2009
A Buck nearly killed a Unicorn
worldblee - April 8, 2009
Oh, deer
Joey C. - April 8, 2009
Ha ha ha!
worldblee - April 8, 2009
QOTM of some sort.
Jjjsixsix - April 8, 2009
Horned Mammals division?
danmerqury - April 8, 2009
i thought they sent GMJ to AAA
thashyt - April 8, 2009
Jesus...
Socalfan21 - April 8, 2009
Im not sure even he can help us.
Syphon - April 8, 2009
Yeah, I'd prefer Manny or Felipe
Nick - April 8, 2009
On this team...
….Jesus would strand all twelve apostles in scoring position.
GreenNGoldSooner - April 8, 2009
QOTM
Syphon - April 8, 2009
We shoulda won this game.
But with all the sloppy play we dont deserve to..
Syphon - April 8, 2009
agreed
At least we are playing good enough to win, w/o Holliday!
ChadGod - April 8, 2009
hold your horses
its still a game, i mean am i wrong?
Pino - April 8, 2009
A's will get 2 runners on base with no outs and not score.
Syphon - April 8, 2009
shhhh
OaklandSi - April 8, 2009
Just concentrate on the hitter, and we'll be fine
Vacafan - April 8, 2009
matthews lmao, what a signing great job angels
mattman - April 8, 2009
You're being sarcastic, right?
Vacafan - April 8, 2009
I would assume so
Helloooo 1st - April 8, 2009
Lol i'm fairly confident he is
winchester5 - April 8, 2009
sorry, didn't see the lmao at first
Vacafan - April 8, 2009
yeah that is about the most obvious sarcasm you will see on this site
ChadGod - April 8, 2009
That's an error but Rajai's isn't?????????????????????????
Nico - April 8, 2009
+1
yawedout21 - April 8, 2009
i disagree
mattman - April 8, 2009
It was Buck's fault
WaddellCanseco - April 8, 2009
I just think
Rajai made an error…Sure long run but he didnt have to dive, didnt have to do anything except catch a baseball like a normal human being cuz he ran it all the way down…
yawedout21 - April 8, 2009
TOTALLY
Clear E8
Nico - April 8, 2009
They ruled E4, which is just lame
An attempted over the shoulder catch leapfrogging over Buck.
Nico - April 8, 2009
haha
and the games most expensive 5th OF makes an appearance
Pino - April 8, 2009
i alerady pointed that out
mattman - April 8, 2009
sorry
didnt mean to cramp your style
Pino - April 8, 2009
At least the A's are only paying $500,000 or so for our Rajai
Nick - April 8, 2009
as someone pointed out to me earlier....
umm….crosby…..
thashyt - April 8, 2009
Anderson will shut these clowns down tomorrow
Trainman - April 8, 2009
This game isn't over yet
WaddellCanseco - April 8, 2009
Didn't say it was
Trainman - April 8, 2009
i think it's more about our offense than pitching
mattman - April 8, 2009
let's get some 9th inning mojo going
maybe someone has a fuentes voodu doll!
thashyt - April 8, 2009
Weak
Athletic - April 8, 2009
I think the A's need more spring training...
But it could be much worse. Randy Johnson gave up a 3 run homer to the Brewers pitcher today.
lenscrafters - April 8, 2009
They all do.
lynnzgal - April 8, 2009
WOOO!
Bailey!
Emmett89 - April 8, 2009
Bailey shut those asshats down
Purty sweet.
Joey C. - April 8, 2009
good Bailey
now let’s see what they can do against Fuentes
OaklandSi - April 8, 2009
Bailey is awesome!
ATLDuck - April 8, 2009
Time for Nomah to get ready to hit
worldblee - April 8, 2009
He's reliable.
lynnzgal - April 8, 2009
one good swing
Come on
yawedout21 - April 8, 2009
I have to say, Bailey has impressed the heck out of me
Honestly, I’d let Giambi, Chavez, and Cust hit and save Nomar for maybe Buck if it gets that far.
Nico - April 8, 2009
+1
Pino - April 8, 2009
three lefties??
makes no sense but we shall see
mattman - April 8, 2009
Agreee
winchester5 - April 8, 2009
We wouldn't have any OFers left
Unless you’re comfortable with Crosby or Nomar out there.
Helloooo 1st - April 8, 2009
Crosby...lol
winchester5 - April 8, 2009
Outfield ain't that hard. That's why failed 3rd basemen can play out there.
OldhamA - April 8, 2009
The A's are gonna get Fuentes
Giambi walks – Chavez doubles to left-center
Vacafan - April 8, 2009
Part 1 commencing
winchester5 - April 8, 2009
If Bailey is actually really good
Whenever Devine is back our bullpen would be insanely good.
Itll probably be really good even without Devine, everyone looks good.
ChadGod - April 8, 2009
Let's go Oakland!
Clap Shmap Pap Pap
Emmett89 - April 8, 2009
One time!! come on!!!
Socalfan21 - April 8, 2009
Trade Devine for Hanley Ramirez
ATLDuck - April 8, 2009
We can do that?
Rated-R Superstar - April 8, 2009
I WISH!
ATLDuck - April 8, 2009
LET'S GO OAKLAND!
gigglingone - April 8, 2009
{clap clap clapclapclap}
gigglingone - April 8, 2009
yayayaya
Socalfan21 - April 8, 2009
Leadoff walk, sweet
worldblee - April 8, 2009
Booby sighting
worldblee - April 8, 2009
It's BoCro time!
I assume.
Emmett89 - April 8, 2009
ASSUMPTION VALIDATED
EMMETT89 TRANSMISSION OVER
Emmett89 - April 8, 2009
I approve.
He can’t swing at any sliders.
VORP is too nerdy - April 8, 2009
Man.
I’m really, really glad to see the Giambino back.
He’s an anchor of stability in this lineup.
VORP is too nerdy - April 8, 2009
WOO!!
Giambi is the man!
ChadGod - April 8, 2009
Love to see them walking Giambi!
lynnzgal - April 8, 2009
Bobby Crosby?!
Please Crush one E
Socalfan21 - April 8, 2009
i have very low expectations for Chavvy at this point
thashyt - April 8, 2009
Why?
Nick - April 8, 2009
except for the first game, when he hit the ball hard every time
he’s looked lost at the plate the last 2
thashyt - April 8, 2009
No, he ripped a line drive to SS yesterday, and nearly doubled past 3B there
Nick - April 8, 2009
I'm going to start calling you Negative Nancy
NegNan for short.
VORP is too nerdy - April 8, 2009
well if it helps, I do think very highly of cust
thashyt - April 8, 2009
haha, the angels fans are chanting DL to Chavez
That is actually pretty funny, I have to give them credit for that.
ChadGod - April 8, 2009
Asshats all the same
DCinWC - April 8, 2009
that is pretty hilarious
flipgatey3 - April 8, 2009
LOL, pinch runner for Giambi
I should feel bad for Crosby, but I don’t
greala - April 8, 2009
Crosby and GMJ both doing the overpriced duties tonight
ChadGod - April 8, 2009
Argh
So close
Helloooo 1st - April 8, 2009
That looked fair!!!
:(
Emmett89 - April 8, 2009
Replay
Nevermind.
Emmett89 - April 8, 2009
Damn it!
Socalfan21 - April 8, 2009
Jack jack!
lynnzgal - April 8, 2009
Its Cust or nothing!
Socalfan21 - April 8, 2009
Next
Helloooo 1st - April 8, 2009
Old Chavez, tryin' to pull everything.
Vacafan - April 8, 2009
I don't like him against lefties at all.
OldhamA - April 8, 2009
He never had many muscle problems
Did he?
Emmett89 - April 8, 2009
His butt was in the dugout while he swung
WaddellCanseco - April 8, 2009
... Right after nearly getting a double down the opposite field line...
Joey C. - April 8, 2009
Yeah, but come on, cuz he cued it!
Vacafan - April 8, 2009
Chavey 0-5 with 2 Ks
worldblee - April 8, 2009
Dude..
Garciaparra in the hole now? WHY DID HE NOT PINCH HIT FOR CHAVEY?
VORP is too nerdy - April 8, 2009
No idea
worldblee - April 8, 2009
Good question
baseballgirl - April 8, 2009
Cust is done
Socalfan21 - April 8, 2009
OOOOOOOH
that was a big hack
Pino - April 8, 2009
Nomar
We turn our eyes to you
Helloooo 1st - April 8, 2009
Or not
Helloooo 1st - April 8, 2009
At least we made the game reasonable...
Socalfan21 - April 8, 2009
dude, it's not over yet
if you’ve given up, then stop watching. but the rest of us are still here
gigglingone - April 8, 2009
Shiiiiiii
ChadGod - April 8, 2009
Come on Suzuki
Make up for that bases loaded out
Emmett89 - April 8, 2009
He's got 2 hits tonight...
Joey C. - April 8, 2009
And he's got a bases loaded groundout as well!
Emmett89 - April 8, 2009
These things happen
To good hitters, even.
Joey C. - April 8, 2009
His nickname was captain clutch in college...lol MLB 09 The show
winchester5 - April 8, 2009
Yikes
That was ugly
Emmett89 - April 8, 2009
It’s up to Suzuki now.
Rated-R Superstar - April 8, 2009
Mr. Clutch?
or the Zook that has been playing up till now?
Pino - April 8, 2009
Kurt sucks
Socalfan21 - April 8, 2009
Tell me you don't mean that
VORP is too nerdy - April 8, 2009
I don't lol
I love him secretly…
Socalfan21 - April 8, 2009
Kurt's a very solid all around player
one of the best catchers in the league, IMO and he’s still really young
thashyt - April 8, 2009
Yeah he was one of the few hitters last year that I felt wouldn't be out of place
on a championship calibre team.
OldhamA - April 8, 2009
he peaked
at napoli standing up
thashyt - April 8, 2009
Y'reckon?
OldhamA - April 8, 2009
i noticed him when he went to set up take a peak back
thashyt - April 8, 2009
We're alive!!!!
worldblee - April 8, 2009
bahahaha
WOO!
Emmett89 - April 8, 2009
Oh my god...

Nick - April 8, 2009
WOOHOO
Pino - April 8, 2009
Nomah time!
worldblee - April 8, 2009
Nomar BETTER hit for Buck
baseballgirl - April 8, 2009

ChadGod - April 8, 2009
iF single.
Leopold Bloom - April 8, 2009
GARCIAPARRA
No-mah.. No-mah
VORP is too nerdy - April 8, 2009
Why do Angels fans
boo Nomar so hard?
Emmett89 - April 8, 2009
probably because he was a Dodger?
Leopold Bloom - April 8, 2009
That was a tape measure shot......
winchester5 - April 8, 2009
Everybody safe!
lynnzgal - April 8, 2009
No-mah!
Leopold Bloom - April 8, 2009
Come on Nomar
Just a simple game on the line, pinch hit RBI single
Helloooo 1st - April 8, 2009

ChadGod - April 8, 2009

Only 3 Ks for him.

Nomarrrrr!
lynnzgal - April 8, 2009
Brett Anderson looks stoned
thashyt - April 8, 2009
He's numbing the inevitable pain he's gonna get from this offense
lenscrafters - April 8, 2009
PLEASE
Pino - April 8, 2009
i hate
the way fuentes throws the ball he like pushes it it and i hate the annoying angels fans with their stupid chants in the background
yawedout21 - April 8, 2009
Agrd on chants.

(not that i’m complaining)
baseballgirl - April 8, 2009
He would have had to dive
WaddellCanseco - April 8, 2009
Maybe
but it might have taken a dive, and risked a 3B or ITP HR.

garyMatthewsjr
way to not lay out for that ball
Livermore - April 8, 2009
I always thought it sucked how
fans said “Nomah” since I thought it was lame.
Now that he’s on the A’s, I can really see why they did it.
Emmett89 - April 8, 2009
this is SO 2009 oakland A's
AV - April 8, 2009
who was it on this site saying that the Angel's outfield would cost them?
I don’t remember his name – Dylan Thomas or something?
alea iacta est - April 8, 2009
oh my sweet baby jesus
so nice to see we can still get blown saves with the Angels

well by that standard
every guy that inning redeemed themselves…including bocro
yawedout21 - April 8, 2009
Hey now, he also had the audacity to be ill.
OldhamA - April 8, 2009
god damn his soul
he should have 12 homers this game so far

I have a feeling we’re gonna need it this season
OaklandSi - April 8, 2009
It was ggone not bbgirl
A real cupcake, too, not Photoshop, I think!
Englishmajor - April 8, 2009
all I saw was the cupcake
too busy jumping up and down in my apt
OaklandSi - April 8, 2009
yup, real
it will be there on Friday night. I’m not sure it will keep well all season, so we may have to eat it and reuse the picture….

Nick - April 8, 2009
Yes, but I don't think it happens vs K-Fraud
historically speaking …
Rickeyfan - April 8, 2009
Yeah, however much I hate him, he's a hell of a closer.
OldhamA - April 8, 2009
don't call it a comeback!

Im freaking out over here at my computer
ChadGod - April 8, 2009
Put Cust in RF, give up the DH
Better than asking Crosby to make his debut there or Nomar to play an unfamiliar position.
Nico - April 8, 2009
Ziggy is the perfect pitcher for Cust to play OF
Nico - April 8, 2009
But in the case of Cust and RF....
familiarity breeds contempt.
GreenNGoldSooner - April 8, 2009
I'm so far delayed on mlb.tv...
Holliday just got his hit for me.

alea iacta est - April 8, 2009
I've been a miserable, grumpy jerk to my family all evening
for no reason, it seems. Baseball is awesome.
Ray of Lite - April 8, 2009
once the game is over, go give your family a big hug
and then tell them you’ll be sane again in the offseason.
gigglingone - April 8, 2009
I would like to thank all of you for this
It was with the new thread mojo that they got their shyte together. Thank you.
Your reward? The Mini Serloin Burger song. Enjoy, you’ve earned it.
Pino - April 8, 2009

Syphon - April 8, 2009
Ground balls, Ziggy. Ground balls.
vegAN ryAN - April 8, 2009
Meh, he can run and catch.
As long as it’s not a line drive that he has to know which angle to take he’ll be fine.
OldhamA - April 8, 2009
C'mon Ziggy!
baseballgirl - April 8, 2009

there was a little fist pump in there, too
alea iacta est - April 8, 2009
Multiple fist pumps
and Jumps in the air…and likely a downstairs neighbor who is none too happy to be hearing this excitement at 10 pm…but ah frick em nice come from behind win
yawedout21 - April 8, 2009

LibrariAN - April 8, 2009
I SO wanted Ziggy
to point to the sky like that jackass.
A'sian - April 8, 2009
that would have been just about the funniest thing
we need to write him and ask him to do that next time
alea iacta est - April 8, 2009
Just post during his blog
WaddellCanseco - April 8, 2009
Not a thing of beauty, but we'll take it.
WaddellCanseco - April 8, 2009
Sweet win
Moments like this remind me why I miss baseball so much in the offseason.
Smooth - April 8, 2009
YAY
that made my day
manny59 - April 8, 2009
I just want to let you know that the reason they won is to reward me for staying up this late on the East Coast to listen… :) WHAT A GAME!
BaltimoreAN - April 8, 2009
took it from right under their noses.
best way to do it.
AV - April 8, 2009

I ain’t kicking her out of bed for anything.
Leopold Bloom - April 8, 2009
I appreciate your honesty
WaddellCanseco - April 8, 2009
Are you?
Seriously.
Leopold Bloom - April 8, 2009
I probably would if the gf showed up unexpectedly
WaddellCanseco - April 8, 2009
Hmm.
Your viewpoint gives me pause.
Leopold Bloom - April 8, 2009
I might
if I felt the likelihood of losing my manhood was high.
VORP is too nerdy - April 8, 2009

I for one support the use of the Rally Salma.
VORP is too nerdy - April 8, 2009
It's better than a damn monkey
oaklandSMASH - April 8, 2009
I suppose we could have a poll
in which we vote between random hot chicks to use as our Rally Model… but I like Salma.
VORP is too nerdy - April 8, 2009
She's done yeoman work to this point
WaddellCanseco - April 8, 2009
Keep her as Rally Salma...
invite her to AN Day… maybe she’ll show up.
FoolshGame22 - April 8, 2009
I thought she was married to a French billionaire or something
She’d have to arrive by private jet just for the day.
WaddellCanseco - April 8, 2009
Come on
If you have to choose between AN and a French billionaire, it’s a no brainer.
VORP is too nerdy - April 8, 2009
I'm just glad I've never had to make that choice
WaddellCanseco - April 8, 2009
That's a thought
does she not realize her newfound importance in the AN community?
VORP is too nerdy - April 8, 2009

it was well-thought out
flipgatey3 - April 8, 2009
dude.
I thought you were dead.
Leopold Bloom - April 8, 2009
So Yahoo has both Chavvy and Nomar as
potential comeback player winners
thashyt - April 8, 2009
They also have both Cahill and Anderson as dark horses for ROY
Holliday as a darkhorse batting champ, and both Fuentes and Edgar Renteria as potential free agent flops
thashyt - April 8, 2009
all a bit premature
OaklandSi - April 8, 2009
isn't that what makes it a prediction?
alea iacta est - April 8, 2009
The rally monkey
must be hibernating
LibrariAN - April 8, 2009
