Nico, if you’d opened this thread a couple minutes sooner, you’d have gone a full three innings in relief, which couts as a save. Now we’re too far ahead and all you’ll get is respect.
At this point in the season, bully for them. Screw the Red Sox. As annoying as I may find the Angels and their fans, they pale greatly to the Red Sox. They’re public enemy number one, with the Yankees reeling.
The Yanks (along with the Cowboys and the Lakers) are in that small group of franchises that I’d actively hate and root against even if they fell to the bottom of their divisions.
Boston with World Series wins is essentially the same monster. At least the Yankees fans both acknowledge when the other team does well and when their team is bested. Red Sox fans would rather hurt themselves before admitting either about their opponent.
He doesn’t have that fucking prissy ass look on his face before he pitches, he doesn’t look like a twinkle toed nimbly pimbly little BITCH on the mound, and he’s not a dumbass Red Sox player.
Nico has saved us!
All hail the thread maker

I’m getting a headache.

We're 2-2.
Better than Matt Holliday!
pam5981 - May 13, 2009
More?
Pweeze?
lynnzgal - May 13, 2009
Nico, are you sure
that you taking over for BBG doesn’t negate her streak?
Leopold Bloom - May 13, 2009
We already had the lead when she left
Nico is eligible for the save, however.
worldblee - May 13, 2009
So do we give BBG a full win share here?
Leopold Bloom - May 13, 2009
Actually, the tying thread wasn't on deck when I posted it
Nico - May 13, 2009
Are you feeling okay
posting on only a couple day’s rest? It’s still early in the season and we don’t want to burn out your bandwidth.
GoA's - May 13, 2009
I'm a little stiff
OK, actually I’m pretty happy to see you.
Nico - May 13, 2009
Does it count as a quality start?
GreenNGoldSooner - May 13, 2009
Almost had the auto-save
Nico, if you’d opened this thread a couple minutes sooner, you’d have gone a full three innings in relief, which couts as a save. Now we’re too far ahead and all you’ll get is respect.
GoA's - May 13, 2009
Oh yuck.
Nico - May 13, 2009
The Mike Neu special
mikev - May 13, 2009
26 games finished, 1 save to show for it
GoA's - May 13, 2009
Nope
She left with the A’s in the lead. It’s her W.

Nico's only in for the Hold.

louismg - May 13, 2009
LOL
I guess save Bailey now and go with Springer int he 8th
Ovale Fan - May 13, 2009
i guess six is enough for that
cuppingmaster - May 13, 2009
but they beat texas
would have rather had texas lose
cuppingmaster - May 13, 2009
Let's see, Ken Korach leaves
and suddenly the A’s score runs in bunches, winning, and ….
…I don’t like where this is taking me!!
One won lost won - May 13, 2009
he was here for wins on Thursday and Friday.
It’s BBG, I’m telling you.
Leopold Bloom - May 13, 2009
As Ray pointed out in the pregame
If they win tonight this radio lineup is 3-0.
worldblee - May 13, 2009

Panther of the Game
Adam Kennedy.
Last night, O-Cab.
humdinger - May 13, 2009
Panther of the game?
Explain your totem.
Leopold Bloom - May 13, 2009
A little quip about HH and two ex-Angels.
humdinger - May 13, 2009
They name a panther of the night?
that’s really, really um…something.
Leopold Bloom - May 13, 2009
Only after wins.
There’s a lot to scratch your head about over there. But they also do a Blame of the Game after a loss, which can be sort of amusing.
humdinger - May 13, 2009
Boing Boing in to pitch
leading 7-1…good spot…give the fans time to hit the concession stands.
One won lost won - May 13, 2009
Grab a cold fresh victory beer
GoA's - May 13, 2009
haven't they stopped serving ($9) beers?
Kallus - May 13, 2009
...since it's past the 7th?
Kallus - May 13, 2009
just buy anything..spend spend spend
those beers are terrible anyway. I actually POURED MINE OUT last year at the game.
Good game otherwise. Ellis walkoff.
One won lost won - May 13, 2009

Where I have hidden pouch.
I had a draft beer hidden in a whale
Shoved it deep into his spout.
GreenNGoldSooner - May 13, 2009
Why they don't sign you for an ad shoot
is beyond me
GoA's - May 13, 2009
I LOVE THESE LYRICS!
Leopold Bloom - May 13, 2009
Springer makes me irrationally nervous.
GreenNGoldSooner - May 13, 2009
At least the 6 run lead makes it a bit easier
that is until we see a couple base runners
Ovale Fan - May 13, 2009
Me gustan runs
Proper conjugation!
Joey C. - May 13, 2009
queso, etc.
mikev - May 13, 2009
Proper conjugation is good!
lynnzgal - May 13, 2009
TWSS?
at least it’s not obvious!
Kallus - May 13, 2009
I knew someone would get it.
lynnzgal - May 13, 2009
I try as much as I can.
mikev - May 13, 2009
You're good baby.
lynnzgal - May 13, 2009
And all becomes clear
… And sort of sweaty…
Joey C. - May 13, 2009
Thats the idea.
lynnzgal - May 13, 2009
Amen, mama.

Leopold Bloom - May 13, 2009
so you married old Norm Son-of-a-Gunderson
ohtobe21likehuston - May 13, 2009
Just so you all recognize.
I am the mayor of Cheesetown!
Leopold Bloom - May 13, 2009
Mayor McCheese?
Joey C. - May 13, 2009
Hmm. Joey brings up a good point.
Perhaps I have someone threatening to usurp my cheesy authority.
Leopold Bloom - May 13, 2009
If he's the mayor, you're the comptroller
Wait, which has more authority?
Joey C. - May 13, 2009
wow barton .198 in sacto

I see Cunningham hit a HR tonite
and Eveland performed well enough to cement staying in AAA which is good with a sucky performance.
Trainman - May 13, 2009
He making a strong case to be an important part of our future.
DaSwinginA's - May 13, 2009
I love that Buck has been playing a lot
He needs to prove he is worth the time though
Athletic - May 13, 2009
I think he looks overmatched
ohtobe21likehuston - May 13, 2009
caution: approaching...the Mendoza Line!!!
will he sink?
or, stay above??
…….sssssssssssssssssssunk!! Buck now hitting .200
One won lost won - May 13, 2009
what I dont get
is why buck takes the 2-0 fastbal,
but swings at the 2-1 curveball
*sigh
supermarc589 - May 13, 2009
Because he likes the bench.
alox - May 13, 2009
He needs to read his gameday scouting report
That says he hates the curveball. But perhaps he only hates it AFTER he swings at it.
worldblee - May 13, 2009
And they called it..
… a winning streak…
Joey C. - May 13, 2009
Red Sox fail
slegna win…boo
cuppingmaster - May 13, 2009
That just makes me hate the Red Sux more
Wait, I don’t hate. It makes me not have good feelings toward them.
worldblee - May 13, 2009
correct
goodbetterbest
One won lost won - May 13, 2009
but we gain a game on Seattle
silver lining
ohtobe21likehuston - May 13, 2009

no doubt
ohtobe21likehuston - May 13, 2009
You know what?
At this point in the season, bully for them. Screw the Red Sox. As annoying as I may find the Angels and their fans, they pale greatly to the Red Sox. They’re public enemy number one, with the Yankees reeling.
Leopold Bloom - May 13, 2009
Yankees still #1, 2, 3, and 4
The Yanks (along with the Cowboys and the Lakers) are in that small group of franchises that I’d actively hate and root against even if they fell to the bottom of their divisions.
GreenNGoldSooner - May 13, 2009
I thought that too. But lately it's been Boston.
Boston with World Series wins is essentially the same monster. At least the Yankees fans both acknowledge when the other team does well and when their team is bested. Red Sox fans would rather hurt themselves before admitting either about their opponent.
Leopold Bloom - May 13, 2009
slegnA pitcher gives up 4 runs in first 2 innings
and gives up 1 hit and goes a complete game.
Meanwhile Wakefield threw BP and coughed up those 4 and some

They're talkin' Detroit on the radio side...
Haven’t been to the new stadium, but old Tiger Stadium was a magnificent, underrated ballpark.
GreenNGoldSooner - May 13, 2009
It was HUGE.
Leopold Bloom - May 13, 2009
Bailey is oddly
reminiscent of Paplebon when he pitches.
alox - May 13, 2009
I too noticed both are oddly effective at getting hitters out.
GoA's - May 13, 2009
You've hurt my soul.
I hope you’re happy.
Leopold Bloom - May 13, 2009
but he's not a prick
ohtobe21likehuston - May 13, 2009
No. Jesus f*ck no.
He doesn’t have that fucking prissy ass look on his face before he pitches, he doesn’t look like a twinkle toed nimbly pimbly little BITCH on the mound, and he’s not a dumbass Red Sox player.

Bannister left because of tightness in his shoulder

Bailout wears his hat damn low.

I know there’s a day off tomorrow, and he didn’t pitch yesterday. But I could have done without seeing Bailey tonight.

For being shitty,
Mike Jacobs hits some fucking MOONSHOTS
mikev - May 13, 2009
Well if you have to give up a bomb
I guess with a 6 run lead is the time to do it.
Ovale Fan - May 13, 2009
Well that was anticlimactic!
GreenNGoldSooner - May 13, 2009
I kept thinking the ball would drop
Like it does when our guys hit one deep.
GoA's - May 13, 2009
Royals like to homer too little too late

Good thing we have some margin for error.

what will piss me off is a walk with a five run lead.

That’s a pretty good start.

You'll never amount to anything.
Your penmanship is horrific and you dress in the manner of a male prostitute.

That first part is not true.

Leopold Bloom - May 13, 2009
So I can do it during work. Cool..
