Oh boy, 9th inning time
goony.

"Yeah, but you know what? This one, this one right here. This was my dream, my wish. And it didn't come true. So I'm taking it back. I'm taking them all back."
This thread better be good

It’ll be as good as the A’s in the ninth inning.

then I have hope
*chirp* *chirp*
To be fair, Thome's dinger put them in front 5-2

It took the bases loaded walk to put them in front 6-2

A's win 7-6?

any takers? any believers?

I believe!!!!!!!!!
YES...

I LIKE IT

Me too!!!!!!!

Can’t help it!

Yay! Go A's!
8-7

I’m an optimist

Man, X-Files sucked by the 9th inning...er, I mean season...as well....
"Sometimes you just have to tip your cap"

to Gavin Floyd. Bwwwwwaaaaaa – We suck so bad …

I know our team stinks

but I couldn’t have guessed how bad our offense would be at this point in the season

Giambi goes after the high heat and the low breaking ball

for K’s tonight. He may be done.

WTF - Jason shoulda been on first! Don't swing at that
2 out rally time!!!!!!!!!!
bright side?

we scored 2 runs!!!

yeah, three hours ago!
Holliday marginally increased his trade value?
Cahill 3K:2BB ratio....does that count as "bright"?
a veritable offensive explosion
Oh, and there was sex in the stands. Highlight of the night for A's fans.
wow, i missed that
I wonder how long it will take Comcast to get the game on On Demand....
LET'S GO OAKLAND!
Clap clap clap clap clap
CLAP, CLAP...CLAP, CLAP, CLAP!
Zhzz zhzz, zhzz zhzz zhzz

(that’s my tambourine!)

Our best chance tonight....

….would have been a pregame reenactment of Disco Demolition Night.

Then we would have won, 9-0

Attn: A's marketing department

This would actually be a very good idea.

The kids are eating rain at the ballpark
In this economy it might be their only meal of the day
All the kids are doing acid

rain

dumb kids

I’d never drink water that’s been in the air above Chicago

Yeah

What goes up must come down

Wahoo! Go Ryan!!!!!!!
OK, here comes the tease
Is that false hope?
If it weren't for false hope

we’d have no hope at all.

Fight, boys!
Fight fiercely, Oakland! Fight! Fight! Fight!

Demonstrate to them our skill.

Albeit they possess the might

Nonetheless, we have the will!

Or not....damn.
cunningham

5-run homer!

Had a chance if the ball burrowed itself underground
crap crap crappity crap
Agony ended
im ready for denorfia
....Mr. Demille!

We soooooo, don't want a close up.
Oh well. I said I wouldn't get upset anymore.
I have a job and food in my belly when I’m hungry.
Good point, my friend.
i say i wont get upset either...

but i always do…and then get overly excited when they do something good believing things are going to turn around

Them belly full

(But we hungry)

I am going to try not to get upset anymore

because I know they are going nowhere but out the back door.

I hope Mazarro has a good game tomorrow for confidence.

I will get upset if I hear that worthless bastard of a manager make any excuses for the shitty bullpen or the hitters who cannot hit their way into or out of a wet dream

You know its coming though

Let’s go VIN-man!

there's always tomorrow
The sun will come up, tomorrow!
Just thinkin' about tomorrow...

Clears away the cobwebs and the sorrow
Will return!

Tomorrow! Tomorrow!
You're always...

nine A’s away!

Haha!

At least we can laugh together.

and hopefully mazzaro will throw a shutout

but somehow, the a’s might figure out a way to score negative rus

We fuckin suck

A baboon with a big red ass can pitch better than our whole bullpen!

Now that I would pay to see.
Do we have any of those in Sacramento?
A corpse that has been buried for a week could do better

as well

damn, that was funny :)
Sign 'im, Billy

Well, we might distract, at least.
And if we took it to Los Angeles of Anaheim....

…it might kill and eat Rally Monkey.

That IS a big red ass!
There is a joke to be made here

about the metaphorical relationship between the shape of this butt and the symbol it stands for but I can’t quite put my finger on it.

Ugh, do you really want to?
Heart-Shaped Butt

…would be a good record album name!

that looks painful

like a giant hemorrhoid

It would fit right in, then!
holy shit thats funny!
Is it weird to anyone else, how we do all the right things early,

and then fail in the later innings?

so...fail first

succeed later?

Of course not,

But, what is the deal?

sorry if i missed this but if mazzaro comes up, who goes down?
everyone?
can you be more specific?
Bob Geren goes down on Billy
As he calls up Ben Dover?
Assisted by Mike Hunt
As soon as Casilla came in...

I knew he was going to give up at least a run. He is awful… he has 2 pitches.

the homerun ball

and the base clearing double
