Thanks to Rajai Davis, the A's have taken the slimmest of leads. Braden went seven full, making likely the last play of his night getting an out on a bunt by sliding into it and making a strong throw. Web gem!
3-2 A's going to the bottom of the seventh.

ZigFan31 - June 10, 2009
So it's going to be Wuertz for two hitters, Breslow for two
Trouble is, I imagine Span will hit for Gomez (though he did leave the game yesterday, don’t know if he’s available), and Kubel / Buscher are also on the bench. So Wuertz may end up facing 1-2 lefties.
Nico - June 10, 2009
Serious question...why not Ziggy/Bailey or Bailey/Ziggy?
baseballgirl - June 10, 2009
Span left with dizziness, I'm not sure if he'll PH or what
Wiers103 - June 10, 2009
If a second lefty comes in for Wuertz,
why not switch to Breslow then?

He’s philosophical about it.
Gotta say Braden wins all kinds of attitude points.

I think he's an "aquired taste" player
I didn’t start out liking him, but the kid grows on ya
Wiers103 - June 10, 2009
No kidding
Quality start after quality start helps in the acquiring.
But I’ve really come to appreciate his off-the-field persona, too. This team needs more characters!

baseballgirl - June 10, 2009
Ziggy cannot get lefties out to save himself
Trainman - June 10, 2009
tru dat
ZigFan31 - June 10, 2009
Because he knew he'd want to switch to Breslow,
so didn’t want to waste Bailey on potentially just one batter.
iglew - June 10, 2009
Braden should have stayed in
I’d rather him face the lefties than Breslow

baseballgirl - June 10, 2009
We are winning this game, folks.
No worries.
Leopold Bloom - June 10, 2009
96 pitches for the ace of the staff!!!!!!
wtf. bob geren you fucking retard
Wreckonized - June 10, 2009
I've no issue with that.
Braden threw 100 last time out. He went 7 innings today, job done. It’s just unfortunate that Wuertz gave up a home run – he’d be the reliever I’d go to if you don’t trust Ziegler to get out lefties.
OldhamA - June 10, 2009
I don't mind it as much...
… But if he’s letting a pitcher that’s on his second start go over you’d think you’d let the guy with the most experience to do so as well.
cyke17 - June 10, 2009
Well perhaps and clearly there's an argument both ways as the game is now tied.
For mine though if you can’t trust the pen to get six outs you’re always in trouble. With so many rookies in the rotation Braden’s going to have to start the whole season, there’s no need to abuse him if you can avoid it.
OldhamA - June 10, 2009
Geren you idiot!
Amnesiac - June 10, 2009
Fire Geren Now
Braden was under 100 pitches. You want Kubel to stay on the bench. The key outs were going to be Mauer and Morneau— do you want Breslow? or Braden to face them?
STUPIDITY
jasonthea - June 10, 2009
Braden should have started the inning to keep Gomez in the game,
or they should have gone to Bailey for the 1-4 hitters because if you get through them you’re fat city. Wuertz and Ziggy needed to be avoided because Gardenhire had the ability to send up 4 straight lefties if he wanted.
Nico - June 10, 2009
Bailey should have pitched the eighth, Ziggy ninth
baseballgirl - June 10, 2009
Yep. The ol' switcharoo
ohtobe21likehuston - June 10, 2009
Which, I might add, I suggested in the 7th
You know, the whole “thinking ahead and not getting schooled by the opposing manager” thing?
Nico - June 10, 2009
Geren wasn't counting on facing a manager who, you know, manages.
GreenNGoldSooner - June 10, 2009
Just getting ready to post that
I’m all for conventional roles but those were the obvious choices
ohtobe21likehuston - June 10, 2009
Braden should have stayed thru Morneau or Mauer-- then Bailey.
I don’t think Geren had a clue that Kubel would pinch-hit
jasonthea - June 10, 2009
96 fucking pitches!!!!
and the ace gets the shower, wtf is wrong with bob geren
Wreckonized - June 10, 2009
Here's another Geren fuck up
no matter the result
Trainman - June 10, 2009
We're taking the damn lead in the bottom of the 8th and that's that!

matt45 - June 10, 2009
this is the reason why there will be no one ever getting to 300 wins again
the ace of the staff doesnt even get 100 pitches…….
what is wrong with baseball
Wreckonized - June 10, 2009
you're wrong about the 300
4 guys pitching with 5 man rotations and specialized relief roles just did it in last 6 years. There will be plenty more.
jasonthea - June 10, 2009
Yep, it's just very hard to predict who will do it. You have to
pitch well into your 40s.
OldhamA - June 10, 2009

no wonder the rangers picked up washington's option
they jsut want to fuck with us and leave us with the dumbest POS manager ever to coach baseball
Wreckonized - June 10, 2009
We ourselves to blame for that
Since we could have done the right thing and hired Wash in the first place.
worldblee - June 10, 2009
Naaah, Wash preferred Texas to us all along.
iglew - June 10, 2009
You mean with them actually offering him a job and all?
worldblee - June 10, 2009
yeah,
that’s the only way I’m choosing Texas over Oakland.
Leopold Bloom - June 10, 2009
Texas is nearer his home, gives him a fresh start,
and gives him a better environment to manage the style of play he prefers.
Why do you think the A’s dragged out its “interview” process for weeks to no purpose and then made an announcement shortly after Wash signed with Texas?
iglew - June 10, 2009
Don Zimmer?
GreenNGoldSooner - June 10, 2009
what about that Red Sox POS who left Pedro in there against the Yankees
about an inning and a half too long in the ALCS?
Leopold Bloom - June 10, 2009
The silver lining:
A chance to take the lead in the 8th; if not Bailey to hold in the 9th and hopefully a chance to win it in the 9th.

She's kinda Homly looking... You can find her all over the place.
cyke17 - June 10, 2009
I say we start a club
and we go on a hunger strike until they bring Jaymee over to CSNCalifornia
Amnesiac - June 10, 2009
The other way to do it
if he was worried about Braden’s fatigue— was have him face Gomez and Harris— who were a combined 0-6 against him, keep Kubel on the bench, then go to Breslow vs. Mauer and possibly Morneau.
jasonthea - June 10, 2009
Or just go to Bailey for those two -
go to your best pitcher there.
Nico - June 10, 2009
hey
at least we have a chance for our first walk-off win. normally we’d have like 4 by now
hero66 - June 10, 2009
Don't get ahead of yourself.
We can’t walk off until next inning.
Hopefully we’ll score in this one.
Have we really had no walk off wins?
GreenNGoldSooner - June 10, 2009
That awesome bottom of the lineup will be up in the 9th too.

looks like a bad penny stock who “claims” to be receiving TARP funds!
SquawValleyUSA - June 10, 2009
nice job matt
9Custs - June 10, 2009
I know. Shit. Sorry.
matt45 - June 10, 2009
…by “HR” I meant a high raking fly out
matt45 - June 10, 2009
Barton to PH for BoCro?
Wiers103 - June 10, 2009
HOLLIDAY WILL HR!
off that goodyear guy
hero66 - June 10, 2009
I sure hope so
worldblee - June 10, 2009
WOW IS CROSBY A BETTER 1B THAN BARTON?
9Custs - June 10, 2009
No.
OldhamA - June 10, 2009
Cust is really suckingg it hard tonight.....terrible at bat again.
mrod - June 10, 2009
All month he has
Trainman - June 10, 2009
minus the deciding jack the other night, right?
mrod - June 10, 2009
I am looking at the overall
under .140 for the month.
Trainman - June 10, 2009
what goodyear guy?
Wreckonized - June 10, 2009
guerrier
hero66 - June 10, 2009
Holliday can't pick him up
cityplANner - June 10, 2009
we are doomed if we see joe nathan again
Wreckonized - June 10, 2009
I wont say it this time…
matt45 - June 10, 2009
that was your pitch, Matt.
mrod - June 10, 2009
its now or never
take the lead so we can all go home happy
Wreckonized - June 10, 2009
Holliday up
if he hits HR, we’re in the division race and we keep him.
if he makes an out, we give up ’09 and trade him
if he gets on base, i just don’t know
GoA's - June 10, 2009
pretty extreme, don't ya think?
mrod - June 10, 2009
well we gotta decide somehow
GoA's - June 10, 2009
lots of guys swinging at balls
Holiday did it, Crosby is the master of it.
What happened?
MobiusKlein - June 10, 2009
IIRC
before last night, the last time we had seen him, he threw the ball down the first base line, a la K-rod, to give us the win
hero66 - June 10, 2009
gooooooooood times.
matt45 - June 10, 2009
Good times for a change
See, the luck Ive had
Can make a good man
Turn bad
So please please please
Let me, let me, let me
Let me get what I want
This time
GreenNGoldSooner - June 10, 2009
When it's time to change, you've got to rearrange
ohtobe21likehuston - June 10, 2009
Smiths > Bradys
GreenNGoldSooner - June 10, 2009
you know, the bullshit part of that is
they have enough harmony with five voices. They don’t necessarily need his to sing. If they need his to complete the dance ensemble, then he lip syncs. I’m not wrong, am I?
Leopold Bloom - June 10, 2009
Sha-na-na-na-na!
GreenNGoldSooner - June 10, 2009
Ha ha ha
ohtobe21likehuston - June 10, 2009
c'mon A's. Don't make me get out the Rally Evangeline!
cityplANner - June 10, 2009
trade his no-homer ass
hero66 - June 10, 2009
this guy needs his friends to step in and tell him how his drinking's affecting them.
Leopold Bloom - June 10, 2009
Holliday?
matt45 - June 10, 2009
the MGD guy.
Leopold Bloom - June 10, 2009
i was out on the dance floor
sippin on a draft beer.
I slipped on the dance floor
but i did not spiiill my draft beer.
cuz im sippin on an MGD
i get that fresh tap taste in a bot-tle
hero66 - June 10, 2009
that guy's okay.
the other one.
Leopold Bloom - June 10, 2009
The one who's fixing his guitar.
iglew - June 10, 2009
but i dont know those lyrics
hero66 - June 10, 2009
yeah, he needs a beer apparently to get out of bed in the morning.
Leopold Bloom - June 10, 2009
They're too busy partying with him
worldblee - June 10, 2009
And playing the banjo and such
worldblee - June 10, 2009
it does seem like playing the banjo goes hand in hand with drinking.
though apparently Charlize Theron is quite skilled at banjo.
Leopold Bloom - June 10, 2009
he does drink a lot.
Leopold Bloom - June 10, 2009
but it's only light beer
GoA's - June 10, 2009
This is one gutless offense we are seeing this whole month
Trainman - June 10, 2009
i smell a 14 inning 6-4...
win!
9Custs - June 10, 2009
For who?
GreenNGoldSooner - June 10, 2009
14 innings?
Man I got work in like 8 hours!
Wiers103 - June 10, 2009
One Game Losing Streak!
DyeLongJustice - June 10, 2009
Triple.
Oh no.
Wiers103 - June 10, 2009
Sweeney would’ve caught that.
Rated-R Superstar - June 10, 2009
Sweeney would have had it!
jakebmill - June 10, 2009
Davis fail
ElQuesoCapitan - June 10, 2009
Bailey failey
On the first pitch.
worldblee - June 10, 2009
we can gain some ground today with a W
come on A’s put that W in the books
Wreckonized - June 10, 2009
ugh...
DDroney - June 10, 2009
WOw..that was bad!
Amnesiac - June 10, 2009
I miss Sweeney.
matt45 - June 10, 2009
Well that's not how I wanted to start that inning.
Would you call what Davis did a “great attempt”?!?
GreenNGoldSooner - June 10, 2009
Fuck
Where was Holliday to back that up?
cityplANner - June 10, 2009
See that's why I have no issue with Braden being pulled.
You can’t legislate for your two best bullpen guys giving up a homer and a triple first batter.
OldhamA - June 10, 2009
I want Sweeney back
GoA's - June 10, 2009
Fuck me......goddmit!
no back up there either. great!
mrod - June 10, 2009
There's the game
if that runner scores
Trainman - June 10, 2009
OK that helps
jakebmill - June 10, 2009
IBB?
DP would be great.
chillicothe20 - June 10, 2009
Davis missed the ball
but then it looked like he stopped to ask the wall where the ball went.
Amnesiac - June 10, 2009
QOTM
baseballgirl - June 10, 2009
Thank you thank you...We'll be here all night
Amnesiac - June 10, 2009
Wooo!
Gotta love all that Foul territory!
Wiers103 - June 10, 2009
two bad pitches
DDroney - June 10, 2009
3 bad pitches
DDroney - June 10, 2009
I would say walk Young
If he didn’t have 2 Ks.
worldblee - June 10, 2009
Crap
Wiers103 - June 10, 2009
And we're done.
worldblee - June 10, 2009
FUCK
ElQuesoCapitan - June 10, 2009
Oh DAMMIT
baseballgirl - June 10, 2009
Game over?
mrod - June 10, 2009
maybe...
Leopold Bloom - June 10, 2009
FUCK
walkoff baltimore chop - June 10, 2009
I'm annoyed.
baseballgirl - June 10, 2009
damn
jakebmill - June 10, 2009
darn
we lose.
geren: it was a good effort
hero66 - June 10, 2009
It was not!
baseballgirl - June 10, 2009
We're boned!
cityplANner - June 10, 2009
cheese it
GoA's - June 10, 2009
Was the infield drawn in?
O-Cab looked REALLY close to me
Wiers103 - June 10, 2009
Yes
worldblee - June 10, 2009
looked like it
Deborah51 - June 10, 2009
crap...why do we suck? really, why??
Deborah51 - June 10, 2009
May reasons
But the chief reason we suck in this particular way is Geren.
GreenNGoldSooner - June 10, 2009
That's "Many Reasons"
GreenNGoldSooner - June 10, 2009
Better hope Nathan's off
otherwise GAME OVER
Trainman - June 10, 2009
The whole time D. Young is walking to the plate I'm saying,
“Just don’t throw him the slow curve.” How do the A’s not understand this?
Nico - June 10, 2009
the, uh, guy who fills out our lineup card
every night? He’s a moron.
Leopold Bloom - June 10, 2009
He is, but he didn't call the pitch.
Damn I hate defending Geren.
Bailey really needs to dump the curve for the season though.
OldhamA - June 10, 2009
Yeah, I'm not blaming Geren for that
Unfortunately, that’s on Suzuki. Just a terrible call in a spot where you need to blow the hitter away and have the stuff to do it.
Nico - June 10, 2009
Hey, it's not over yet.
Remember last year, against Nathan? Some crazy stuff went down and the A’s ended up winning. So I still have hope.
whiteshoes40 - June 10, 2009
Not exactly heart of lineup for A's in bottom of inning
PH HR by Giambi maybe. Nathan did pitch last night.
chillicothe20 - June 10, 2009
Realistic
Nathan should own whoever we send up there.
Giambi better gear up early for the heater. Start the swing before ball is released
Trainman - June 10, 2009
nope
up in the pen
hero66 - June 10, 2009
Blown leads FTW!
Socalfan21 - June 10, 2009
C’mon. freakin’ 1 run game going into the btm 9th? Hold-em and scold em. Oh, wait. Joe Nathan closing… Err, hey at least we held them under 10!
matt45 - June 10, 2009
Goody. Let's stick Joe Nathan with the loss.
iglew - June 10, 2009
I approve of this comment.
whiteshoes40 - June 10, 2009
The national approval society (NAS)
approves your approval
hero66 - June 10, 2009
+100
walkoff baltimore chop - June 10, 2009
Giambi pinch hit in the bottom of the 9th?
mrod - June 10, 2009
I'VE HAD IT WITH THESE MOTHER HUBBARD TWINS
walkoff baltimore chop - June 10, 2009
Nice grab Nomad
matt45 - June 10, 2009
I .... AM .... NOMAD ....
iglew - June 10, 2009
Ha ha ha
worldblee - June 10, 2009
Trainwreck!
mrod - June 10, 2009
GoA's - June 10, 2009
yay a's
….
cityplANner - June 10, 2009
ehhhhhhhhhhhh
this bores me
henry85 - June 10, 2009
well this isnt any bloody fun.
another loss
hero66 - June 10, 2009
zook/cros/cunningham in the 9th
……
cityplANner - June 10, 2009
Murderers' Row
GreenNGoldSooner - June 10, 2009
Zook/Cros... Giambi?
DDroney - June 10, 2009
why do I see zombie when you write that?
Leopold Bloom - June 10, 2009
Because you block out the ookCrosGi?
iglew - June 10, 2009
I would expect Giambi to hit for Crosby or cunningham
chillicothe20 - June 10, 2009
Zook hit a PH HR last year...maybe again right now? Minus the PH part obvi
Wiers103 - June 10, 2009
The A's with their best Hindenburg impression
Amnesiac - June 10, 2009
GreenNGoldSooner - June 10, 2009
nice!
mrod - June 10, 2009
WTF
walkoff baltimore chop - June 10, 2009
haha! Whats Kubel doing in that pic?
Amnesiac - June 10, 2009
If we lose, I blame the 8th inning homerun given up by Wuertz
Braden worked so damn hard, and Mike fucked it up.
chillicothe20 - June 10, 2009
We have Hannahan batting 3rd bottom 9? PH Giambi for Hannahan, move Bo Cro to 3rd?
matt45 - June 10, 2009
It's a nice Idea, Matt
But it would make far too much sense
hero66 - June 10, 2009
HA, i know…
matt45 - June 10, 2009
If we're down only 1 and/or
there’s a man on base, I think it happens.
iglew - June 10, 2009
I guess our real goal is to get out of the cellar by the end of the year!
say it with me guys… 3rd place!
Socalfan21 - June 10, 2009
It has been for a while now, the offence simply isn't good enough.
OldhamA - June 10, 2009
My goal for the season is 82 wins.
And if we achieve it before the final game, then try for some more.
iglew - June 10, 2009
Twisting the knife now.
Wiers103 - June 10, 2009
Bullpen FAIL
GreenNGoldSooner - June 10, 2009
It's been failing for a while.
OldhamA - June 10, 2009
wee.
we’re good.
Leopold Bloom - June 10, 2009
I lol'
Wiers103 - June 10, 2009
This inning just keeps getting better
worldblee - June 10, 2009
groan
ak_A - June 10, 2009
Bailey just having a bad night
ohtobe21likehuston - June 10, 2009
It is everyone's first instinct
to blame Geren for everything that goes wrong.
But I didn’t think his decisions were unreasonable. And we know Braden’s stomach was bothering him.
Wuertz, at the moment, is our set-up guy. It’s not insane to hope a sinkerball pitcher won’t give up a home run in the two hitters he was scheduled to face.
And Bailey, our best closer, has been worse.
bear88 - June 10, 2009
Why isn't Ziggy the set-up guy, though?
baseballgirl - June 10, 2009
Yes, Bailey would have screwed this up anyway
baseballgirl - June 10, 2009
I have noticed
that everyone always gets mad at Geren, but everyone has a different idea of what he should have done.
DDroney - June 10, 2009
Wuertz doesn't throw a sinker, unless you're talking about Ziegler.
OldhamA - June 10, 2009
27 innings, only two homers allowed
I didn’t feel like it was a big mistake at the time, so I’m going to blame Geren now.
bear88 - June 10, 2009
okay, I'll grant his decision-making process has been okay tonight,
but in the meta-sense, do we win with Geren as our manager?
Leopold Bloom - June 10, 2009
No.
OldhamA - June 10, 2009
No
I just dislike blaming the manager every time a reliever doesn’t have a good outing.
bear88 - June 10, 2009
FML
cityplANner - June 10, 2009
Stick a fork in them for the night
DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Trainman - June 10, 2009
I don't like this new rule where
whoever has the lead after 8 innings wins.
I liked it better when they called the final score after the 9th inning.
iglew - June 10, 2009
bailey's arm fell off
ElQuesoCapitan - June 10, 2009
I miss Ziggy
chillicothe20 - June 10, 2009
Fuck
Bailey not getting the outs.
walkoff baltimore chop - June 10, 2009
I just got em on my fantasy team.
Kiss my WHIP/ERA goodbye
Wiers103 - June 10, 2009
That should be a rule
NEVER PICK UP AN A’S PLAYER FOR YOUR FANTASY TEAM.
walkoff baltimore chop - June 10, 2009
The one decent option
Suzuki’s a top 10 fantasy catcher option. After that, not much out there
GoA's - June 10, 2009
Mostly, I just use fantasy baseball as some kind of reverse jinx option. I sometimes pick up players I dislike or players for teams I dislike so they won’t do well.
Besides, reality team > fantasy team.
walkoff baltimore chop - June 10, 2009
You can't really play fantasy baseball at all
if you have a favorite team. Or else you risk rooting against yourself.
Make a choice: are you a fan, or a fantasy player?
iglew - June 10, 2009
Why would you jinx us by putting him on your fantasy team?
Same thing I did with Anderson yesterday
GoA's - June 10, 2009
Fuck you both!
ElQuesoCapitan - June 10, 2009
I couldn't stand the thought of Anderson playing well for someone else
I got greedy dammit. But only because I love the green and gold. Why can’t I have nice things?!
GoA's - June 10, 2009
because you jinx them.
you know that. I know that. The Cap’n knows that.
And you can be god damned sure the baseball gods know that.
Leopold Bloom - June 10, 2009
You know you both would have done the same
I won a championship because of Tim Hudson’s rookie year. No jinx back then.
GoA's - June 10, 2009
Because fantasy baseball is not a nice thing!!
ElQuesoCapitan - June 10, 2009
No worries, just need a walk now before the Giambi pinch HR
GoA's - June 10, 2009
First ML loss for Bailey
worldblee - June 10, 2009
He's certainly earned it.
GreenNGoldSooner - June 10, 2009
lmao
no kidding! haha
Socalfan21 - June 10, 2009
I think he's earned 2 or 3 tonight
chillicothe20 - June 10, 2009
i think i had enough of this disaster
we find new ways to lose
Deborah51 - June 10, 2009
what's going on with these bums
henry85 - June 10, 2009
They're beating us
worldblee - June 10, 2009
but why!?
DDroney - June 10, 2009
By the way, Bailey, pitching in his 3rd day of 4, should not still be in.
Nico - June 10, 2009
Agreed, looks awful
baseballgirl - June 10, 2009
agree
can’t expect that he won’t do the “Tampa Bay Redux”
One won lost won - June 10, 2009
Agreed
walkoff baltimore chop - June 10, 2009
We scored 5 in the 9th last night
Can we have some of those runs back for tonight?
chillicothe20 - June 10, 2009
not against Nathan
DaSwinginA's - June 10, 2009
click
ak_A - June 10, 2009
This is depressing
Wiers103 - June 10, 2009
o.v.e.r……….
matt45 - June 10, 2009
Hey, let's leave Bailey in for 5 or 6 more batters
worldblee - June 10, 2009
Let's leave Bailey in a den full of wolves.
chillicothe20 - June 10, 2009
let's leaving him sitting outside the gym, waiting for a ride home from football practice.
Leopold Bloom - June 10, 2009
Maybe Jaymee will wait with him.
iglew - June 10, 2009
he'd like that.
He thinks she smells nice.
Leopold Bloom - June 10, 2009
"Man, I can't wait till I'm old enough to drive by myself!"
“Me neither!” <smiles>
iglew - June 10, 2009
You're calling the Twins' hitters a den of wolves.
Really? Really?!
OldhamA - June 10, 2009
I meant a real one.
chillicothe20 - June 10, 2009
Well that's just mean.
OldhamA - June 10, 2009
He lost the game!!!
I’m a softie. He can take a stick to fend them off with.
chillicothe20 - June 10, 2009
Awful throw from Cunningham
that was near lawn dart territory
cityplANner - June 10, 2009
KK sums it up
Talking about the offense.
They suck this month. Hitting under .223. That is pathetic. But for the rookies and their great pitching, we would be 12 or 13 under .500 by now.
But they keep on trotting garbage for hitters out there so what do you expect.
Trainman - June 10, 2009
Click.
Very poor of us to waste a good start by Braden.
OldhamA - June 10, 2009
that was a crappy throw
Deborah51 - June 10, 2009
G'night, everyone
worldblee - June 10, 2009
don't leave yet.
I’m busting out the rally Cruz for the 9th
cityplANner - June 10, 2009
This is what happens when you think it's a good idea to throw a guy out there all the time
He had like 3 straight days of 20 pitches, so many IP. He’s this year’s Ziegler.
hero66 - June 10, 2009
ok. new goals…. hold them to less than 10 runs. get ONE hit off Joe in the 9th
matt45 - June 10, 2009
Seriously, TAKE BALIEY OUT NOW.
We might actually need him tomorrow.
ZigFan31 - June 10, 2009
We won't, he's knackered.
OldhamA - June 10, 2009
I'm kinda hoping that Bailey loses Mauer
Then Springer will come in and it’s less likely that we’ll see him tomorrow.
GreenNGoldSooner - June 10, 2009
Regression to the mean...
We aren’t 7 wins in a row good. These things happen. Back at it tomorrow… I just feel bad for Braden.
ZeroIndulgence - June 10, 2009
The bottom like is we are hitting .238 for the year
That has regression written all over it.
Trainman - June 10, 2009
What are the chances the umps will let us go back the to the 8th and do it over?
Amnesiac - June 10, 2009
maybe if it was the Berkeley A’s… HAHA
matt45 - June 10, 2009
GEREN
GET BAILEY THE FUCK OUT OF THERE NOW
walkoff baltimore chop - June 10, 2009
You win the award for saying what I REALLY wanted to say.
ZigFan31 - June 10, 2009
Hey Joe,
I’m not sure if you knew, but I’ve been psyching you out for the whole game. Joke’s on you.
Love,
me
cityplANner - June 10, 2009
That would've been sweeter if we were winning.
Leopold Bloom - June 10, 2009
Like I said, bad penny stock chart
SquawValleyUSA - June 10, 2009
Wow, Brad Penny's stock is horrible
Think we should trade for him, get that veteran starter in the rotation we’ve been needing?
GoA's - June 10, 2009
okay, so let's say you put the lime in the coconut.
is he talking about cutting a whole coconut apart and sticking a whole lime in the half and drinking the coconut milk, or is there a blender involved?
Leopold Bloom - June 10, 2009
Now let me get this straight
Put the lime in the coconut, you drank ’em both up
Put the lime in the coconut, you drank ’em both up
Put the lime in the coconut, you drank ’em both up
Put the lime in the coconut, you called your doctor, woke him up, and said
Doctor, ain’t there nothin’ I can take, I said
Doctor, to relieve this bellyache, I said
Doctor, ain’t there nothin’ I can take, I said
Doctor, to relieve this bellyache?
GreenNGoldSooner - June 10, 2009
and seriously,
what the hell kind of remedy is that for stomach pain? Is this guy some kind of quack?
Leopold Bloom - June 10, 2009
Oh, Leopold.
For a lit freak, you sure are dense when it comes to symbolism.
iglew - June 10, 2009
oh I suck at poetry.
it’s why I do modernism. throw it in my face and rub it in.
Leopold Bloom - June 10, 2009
It's really quite simple:
Everything is about sex.
Or sometimes death.
But usually sex.
iglew - June 10, 2009
oh. Lime and coconut
are penis and vagina and she’s pregnant now?
Leopold Bloom - June 10, 2009
Harry Nilsson ain't exactly Ezra Pound
GreenNGoldSooner - June 10, 2009
I think Ezra would disagree with you.
But he was contrarian. And apparently, a Nazi.
Leopold Bloom - June 10, 2009
Il miglior fabbro
iglew - June 10, 2009
Something like that.
But you have to commit to the symbolism. It’s not just a vagina. It’s the whole concept of vaginaness.
It doesn’t work in prose.
Anyway, I like classical symbolism better. So much more elegant.
iglew - June 10, 2009
how do you feel about peaches?
GoA's - June 10, 2009
I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each!
iglew - June 10, 2009
You are lucky then
I do not think that they will sing to me.
GoA's - June 10, 2009
They still sing to me, but I can't live in the water
and they can’t live on land. Lord knows we tried.
It’s sad, but in a bittersweet way.
iglew - June 10, 2009
Do you still pier in on them from time to time?
GoA's - June 10, 2009
Does anyone think there is ANy chance Geren gets the boot this season? Hes so tight with Beane,etc…
matt45 - June 10, 2009
Nope.
Beane’s already making excuses for him.
OldhamA - June 10, 2009
Beane will never admit he made a mistake. It will take a darn near player revolt and a resignation
Yellowhorse - June 10, 2009
Beane is willing to admit to mistakes.
But he doesn’t think managers matter much, doesn’t think Geren is a bad manager, and thinks it’s disruptive to switch managers mid-season.
iglew - June 10, 2009
So depressing to watch.
Is beane committed to this season or not… seriously. If so I would like him to get better hitters for our 6-9 spots. every time who ever comes up after Giambi comes up to O-Cab I jus think its an automatic out.
This is pathetic.
Socalfan21 - June 10, 2009
un click
just when i think the team has actualized reality to over come Geren’s decisions, reality overcomes Geren’s decisions.
ak_A - June 10, 2009
So now Bailey's not available tomorrow -
unless you want to come back 18 hours later and pitch him a 4th day out of 5 after a long inning tonight.
Fucking minor league manager.
Nico - June 10, 2009
Closer would be Ziggy tomorrow
I assume last night as well
baseballgirl - June 10, 2009
I do believe this is the first time I've hear you swear.
Amnesiac - June 10, 2009
And I like it!
baseballgirl - June 10, 2009
Me too!
Amnesiac - June 10, 2009
seriously?
he used to swear all the time.
Leopold Bloom - June 10, 2009
I agree with what you are saying
but the way this team is NOT hitting, we won;t need Bailey tomorrow.
They need a swift kick in the arse (the hitters) for being pathetic
Trainman - June 10, 2009
I think Cahill will pitch well tomorrow
we just need these pricks to get more than 3 or 4 runs
Trainman - June 10, 2009
Totally agree. He is an absolutely horrible manager
He took over a team that had 8 straight winning seasons and has been a loser ever since,
The GM deserves alot of blame for this lame ass bullpen
Yellowhorse - June 10, 2009
Wow that was like watching your GF make out with the starting quarterback
and you cant go anywhere because she’s giving you a ride home. Painful!
Amnesiac - June 10, 2009
because you failed you drivers test too
ak_A - June 10, 2009
Ouch! yes
Amnesiac - June 10, 2009
Ahahahaha
Wiers103 - June 10, 2009
what's this whole "click" thing?
cityplANner - June 10, 2009
TV remote.
Click!
baseballgirl - June 10, 2009
People are leaving, I assume.
Equivalent to “game over.”
walkoff baltimore chop - June 10, 2009
People aren't leaving the Coliseum
They weren’t there to begin with.
GreenNGoldSooner - June 10, 2009
LOL
walkoff baltimore chop - June 10, 2009
Me, about to put myself out of my misery.
Wiers103 - June 10, 2009
Oh, it's time for a rally
You’re welcome, A’s
cityplANner - June 10, 2009
That’s a really good one right there.
Rated-R Superstar - June 10, 2009
Yep
Thats something I could definitely rally around
Wiers103 - June 10, 2009
+100
chillicothe20 - June 10, 2009
too skinny but who am I to say, l live alone with a cat.
ak_A - June 10, 2009
in Idaho.
…..
at least you’re not in Florida.
Leopold Bloom - June 10, 2009
one day maybe
wearing shorts, white support stockings and a Greg Norman golf style straw golf hat with a medic alert bracelet on my liver spotted wrist.
ak_A - June 10, 2009
you'll fit right in.
bring a shuffleboard stick.
Leopold Bloom - June 10, 2009
No hits since the 4th says KK
Trainman - June 10, 2009
Hmmm, that one didn't work
Maybe Barton will like this better
cityplANner - June 10, 2009
Barton was a promising hitter once
until the A’s traded for him and since then all bad
Trainman - June 10, 2009
Rally!
matt45 - June 10, 2009
Who's that?
DaSwinginA's - June 10, 2009
Someone should be able to guess....
matt45 - June 10, 2009
Rally Norah Jones?
Amnesiac - June 10, 2009
A AN first, no?
matt45 - June 10, 2009
Ooh, I like her.
Pretty. Who is that?
iglew - June 10, 2009
Norah Jones
walkoff baltimore chop - June 10, 2009
she sings pretty.
I like her. but she makes me sad. for…personal reasons.
Leopold Bloom - June 10, 2009
Oh, I've even heard of her, but never seen a picture.
I thought her tempos were bizarre. Too slow and self-indulgent.
iglew - June 10, 2009
I could see that.
I like it, though.
Leopold Bloom - June 10, 2009
I mean self-indulgent literally.
When I’m singing for myself, I’ll do that, too. But if you’re singing for others you need to be more aware of how they hear it.
iglew - June 10, 2009
Snore-ah Jones
GoA's - June 10, 2009
Following up on Wikipedia now.
Wow, I had no idea she was daughter of Ravi Shankar.
iglew - June 10, 2009
walkoff baltimore chop - June 10, 2009
Ew almost like citigroup
SquawValleyUSA - June 10, 2009
whoa, during the giants/dbacks game
a girl just ran onto the field and she was grabbed by three security guards (one with a hold of her wrist, another with a death grip on the back of her neck, and the other running alongside) and quickly escorted away
I was amazed they showed it – I thought they weren’t supposed to
SwisherThresher - June 10, 2009
Last chance Giambi!
You get extra skin for good luck
cityplANner - June 10, 2009
Is she supposed to wear panties under that?
I would hope not.
cyke17 - June 10, 2009
those are panties, aren't they?
Leopold Bloom - June 10, 2009
She has the "Netting" ones and another pair underneath.
cyke17 - June 10, 2009
for the shot,
but those are panties, no?
Leopold Bloom - June 10, 2009
Yeah, I think so.
cyke17 - June 10, 2009
You can always tell when the A's are losing
by the directions and topics covered in the game thread.
It will always cover the important things in life.
A'sfaninNC - June 11, 2009
It cracks me up that you asked this question.
pam5981 - June 10, 2009
Come on Golden Thong!!!
Wiers103 - June 10, 2009
was that a strikeout? Or a grand slam?
I’d argue the call.
DDroney - June 10, 2009
Okay, I don't see the point of this
Giambi can’t hit a solo 3-run homer.
bear88 - June 10, 2009
Hitting has regressed last 4 games
2 hits, 6 hits, 5 hits, 5 hits. Somehow we won 2 of those games.
Wolverine - June 10, 2009
And we get Lincecum, Johnson and Cain this weekend.
cyke17 - June 10, 2009
walkoff baltimore chop - June 10, 2009

Giambi REALLY wanted that walk
Wiers103 - June 10, 2009
Giambi STILL can't count
walkoff baltimore chop - June 10, 2009
What the hell, G?
ElQuesoCapitan - June 10, 2009
GreenNGoldSooner - June 10, 2009
Giambi
This is the second time he’s forgotten the count.
bear88 - June 10, 2009
at least it didn't cost an out this time
DDroney - June 10, 2009
HITZ!
Leopold Bloom - June 10, 2009
Well the good news we aren't very good...
So we really can’t get very bummed!
SquawValleyUSA - June 10, 2009
XBH!!
Wiers103 - June 10, 2009
Giambi walk fail

DaSwinginA's - June 10, 2009

Wooo! Comeback time!
iglew - June 10, 2009
Woooo!!!
Rally Cruz for Rajai!
cityplANner - June 10, 2009
There's the two bombs we need.
Boozhound - June 10, 2009
Why do we have that damn fence there?
GoA's - June 10, 2009
I will eat her shorts if we win this!
SquawValleyUSA - June 10, 2009
We’ll be lucky if Davis doesn’t strike out.
Rated-R Superstar - June 10, 2009
I will eat them if we dont!
matt45 - June 10, 2009
walkoff baltimore chop - June 10, 2009
Oh, my.
Rated-R Superstar - June 10, 2009
yikes
Rajai’s swing looks better than that
GoA's - June 10, 2009
Not that last one!
GreenNGoldSooner - June 10, 2009
He's standing in the Crosby-zone
faaaaar from the plate.
MobiusKlein - June 10, 2009
Oh no, is Crosby the anti-veteran presence now?
GoA's - June 10, 2009
walkoff baltimore chop - June 10, 2009
Im not nervous..Im not nervous..Im not nervous...
Amnesiac - June 10, 2009

ElQuesoCapitan - June 10, 2009
Sigh
Good night all.

too bad A's
you don’t get my next rally cruz
cityplANner - June 10, 2009
GoA's - June 10, 2009
Dear Trevor Cahill
Best of luck tomorrow, I sincerely hope you go 9 innings and give up only a couple of hits max.
You are so fucked with this offense if you think you are going to get any run support but good luck.
Trainman - June 10, 2009
Watching my team's manager get schooled by the opposing manager:
Not my idea of a good time.
Nico - June 10, 2009
Well, at least they didn't 5-hit the A's
danh - June 10, 2009
Not Happy.
Geren is going to destroy Bailey’s arm.
Coach Cleats - June 10, 2009
walkoff baltimore chop - June 10, 2009
yay.
we’re good.
Leopold Bloom - June 10, 2009
Your sarcasm is not lost on me, sir.
GoA's - June 10, 2009
Remember the spring previews?
From cbssports
GoA's - June 10, 2009
I like Wuertz
He was set up to fail tonight, plus he made a bad pitch. He’s done a great job overall.
Nico - June 10, 2009
But "set up" is literally the name of his job.
I whine, but yeah, I’ve been digging his work this year as well.
GoA's - June 10, 2009
why the hell didn't denorfia pinch hit for davis?
especially after how helpless rajai looked against nathan last night.
TerrySteinbach - June 10, 2009
Way to kill a great Dallas outing.
Shot down in the eighth…
bleh
oaklandSMASH - June 10, 2009
