Baseballgirl will be back with the recap around 10:30pm, but just to give you a fresh thread until the real one, here's a "victory lap, sweeeeeeep style!" thread following the A's 7-2 win over the Royals, fueled by Josh Outman's 6+ solid innings of 3 hit, 1 run ball, and a 5-run bottom of the 7th capped off by Jack Cust's bases clearing double.

Dear FP
Nobody cares about your injury.
mikev - May 13, 2009
I cared
It game me more reason to despise his telecasting
GoA's - May 13, 2009
*gave
GoA's - May 13, 2009
I WISH
someone would give him a suit jacket makeover. Where DOES he get those baaaaad jackets, anyway?
BERRYJO - May 13, 2009
Great win.
Go A’s!
DaSwinginA's - May 13, 2009
SWEEEEEP!
You can thank me later.
lynnzgal - May 13, 2009
2 games though
That doesn’t really count.
mikev - May 13, 2009
I'm kinda with you.
Leopold Bloom - May 13, 2009
Take it back!
lynnzgal - May 13, 2009
The HELL it doesn't?
lynnzgal - May 13, 2009
Word. I'll take any sweep we can get
Kallus - May 13, 2009
YOU win.
lynnzgal - May 13, 2009
Really? How Oakland-y of me!
Kallus - May 13, 2009
Like this?
67MARQUEZ - May 13, 2009
LUV ME SOME RICKEY!!!
Kallus - May 13, 2009
Easy now.
lynnzgal - May 13, 2009
How many did the Royals take from us?
That’s right. Zero. They didn’t get diddly. That’s a sweep.
GoA's - May 13, 2009
THIS
walkoff baltimore chop - May 13, 2009
SEE?
lynnzgal - May 13, 2009
YOU WANNA FIGHT ABOUT IT?
Or, I dunno, other stuff?
mikev - May 13, 2009
Resist the urge to tackle Lynn.
pam5981 - May 13, 2009
What, you wanna piece too?
Bring it on.
mikev - May 13, 2009
You wish.
pam5981 - May 13, 2009
You don't have $39.99 I can spare, do ya?
mikev - May 13, 2009
What?
This is going to be pay per view?
alox - May 13, 2009
That would cost more than $39.99
mikev - May 13, 2009
HahA1
I read that as resist the urge to tackle, Lynn.
lynnzgal - May 13, 2009
Don't resist.
mikev - May 13, 2009
Gosh, you're cute.
lynnzgal - May 13, 2009
I do my best.
I’m elusive though. Hard to tackle.
mikev - May 13, 2009
I know when I have a good thing.
So, its cool.
lynnzgal - May 13, 2009
awww.
Wait. Was that an insult?
mikev - May 13, 2009
Not at all.
But…I can look.
lynnzgal - May 13, 2009
Precap is devolving quickly.
pam5981 - May 13, 2009
You expected less?
mikev - May 13, 2009
Sadly no.
pam5981 - May 13, 2009
Thanks, pamcakes.
You never fail to deliver.
mikev - May 13, 2009
I'm not sure how I feel about this whole "pamcakes" thing.
pam5981 - May 13, 2009
you started it.
mikev - May 13, 2009
Eh....
I’m tired. Could be worse.
lynnzgal - May 13, 2009
Me too.
Headache, though.
mikev - May 13, 2009
Look... where, exactly?
mikev - May 13, 2009
Mikey, mikey.
You need not ask.
lynnzgal - May 13, 2009
humor me.
mikev - May 13, 2009
No, I think not.
Someone has to say no to you. As attractive as you are.
lynnzgal - May 13, 2009
Depends who's doing the tackling.
Leopold Bloom - May 13, 2009
She is
ElQuesoCapitan - May 13, 2009
Pff.
I’ll lay her out like Patrick Willis blowing up an unsuspecting tailback.
mikev - May 13, 2009
She can tackle me ALL day as long as
she’s bringing some pesto breadsticks.
Leopold Bloom - May 13, 2009
Oh wait.
That’s the candy Mary, not the pizza Mary.
Okay, I’ll take a pound of those caramel covered fluffy stuffs. Scotch kisses, I beleive they’re called. Her peanut butter candy’s pretty frickin awesome too.
Leopold Bloom - May 13, 2009
Fluff!
lynnzgal - May 13, 2009
Eh. Okay.
lynnzgal - May 13, 2009
This logic > all.
ElQuesoCapitan - May 13, 2009
the heck it doesn't!
a sweep is a sweep -even if it’s two games. lol
surfinsushi - May 13, 2009
when I heard "...the A's sweep..."
I almost fainted. actually, i did faint. but i’m back now
Kallus - May 13, 2009
Bob being interviewed again....
Since when did this become a staple feature?
alox - May 13, 2009
Since he made his office as ugly as possible
GoA's - May 13, 2009
when they got to the 6th down 1-0
and I realized that Crosby, Cabrera and Suzuki were due up, all of a sudden I just knew something good would happen. And in the 7th once they began to threaten those old fears of RISP failure went right out the window. And we do have a really good pitching staff, even in its very young and incomplete form. Things have really changed since Cabrera called that meeting— looks like a ball team now.
jasonthea - May 13, 2009
Steve Bitker >>>>> Vince Cortroneo
Do us all a favor and show Vince the door.
33SwisherSweet - May 13, 2009
ElQuesoCapitan - May 13, 2009
I'd rather a plate of Saag's call the game
to that Steve dude. C’mon.
Leopold Bloom - May 13, 2009
not sure about this
I like vince better than steve
Future Ed - May 13, 2009
Agree that Steve > Vince
though admittedly it’s not saying a whole lot
iglew - May 14, 2009
Stirrups!

SwisherThresher - May 13, 2009
Josh Outman is a beast...
who apparently has too straight a fastball to be a successful starter. I say psssht.
designatedforassignment - May 13, 2009
We are 2-for-2 when there are mentions of Lexi on open threads! “Lexi, Raj wants you!” mojo is in full effect!
Rated-R Superstar - May 13, 2009
Just got back from the sweep
and this one was very sweet indeed. Outman was very economical and mostly quite sharp. Bannister was very good too — I’m not sure what was wrong with him, that they had to take him out, but I certainly wasn’t sorry to see other pitchers, and neither were the A’s. They did seem to be honing in on Bannister when they saw him for the third time.
OaklandSi - May 13, 2009
oh by the way
last night on the BART platform — after the A’s stomped the Royals 12-3, a couple of Royals fans actually were crowing at the A’s fans “where are you in the standings?” I of course answered, “and where are the Royals? Won’t last.”
OaklandSi - May 13, 2009
Glad you got to see that.
It was great to meet you last weekend.
lynnzgal - May 13, 2009
likewise
when’s your next game?
OaklandSi - May 13, 2009
May 26.
lynnzgal - May 13, 2009
I've got tickets for May 22
but I may got to May 26 — still working out my schedule…
OaklandSi - May 13, 2009
Look me up if you can go.
You’re fun!
lynnzgal - May 13, 2009
thanks!
I’ll come say hi!
OaklandSi - May 13, 2009
Royals broadcast said Bannister had tightness in his shoulder
SwisherThresher - May 13, 2009
Ruh-roh
I go away to Oregon on vacation and the A’s sweep. I officially can’t come back to the bay area.
cityplANner - May 13, 2009
If you go gallery hopping,
our work is showing at Davis & Cline. Just saying.
lynnzgal - May 13, 2009
I'm staying about 2 1/2 blocks from there right now.
I’ll be sure to check it out. Will I know which are yours?
cityplANner - May 13, 2009
You will.
Its pretty massive.
lynnzgal - May 13, 2009
John Lewis Glass.
We do it bigger.
lynnzgal - May 13, 2009
You need to put that on your business cards.
pam5981 - May 13, 2009
Wouldn't that be great?
You’re about to get a little version. A housewarming gift.
lynnzgal - May 13, 2009
Ooooh.
♥!
pam5981 - May 13, 2009
Yes.
Love you too.
lynnzgal - May 13, 2009
Wait. We won?
And Kris is in the American Idol Top 2? This is a good night.
whiteshoes40 - May 13, 2009
Yeah, but IdolBot stayed. And Danny's gone. :(
pam5981 - May 13, 2009
Eh. Danny lost my allegiance several weeks ago.
I don’t really like Adam, but the rest of the world apparently does, so whatever.
