Rajai Davis came to play. He has singlehandedly given the A's the slim lead at 4-3, after advancing to home on an error by Saunders...from first.
Breslow and Wuertz have kept the lead through seven. The A's are batting after the stretch.

Cabrera having a good night
Crosby with a big homer, Tiger misses the cut, hmm okay we’re all going to die
sirbed - July 17, 2009
and Tom Watson is leading
ohtobe21likehuston - July 17, 2009
isn't that nutty?
sirbed - July 17, 2009
it's pretty damn cool if you ask me
ohtobe21likehuston - July 17, 2009
No doubt
sirbed - July 17, 2009
but isn't this just like Greg Norman last year?
stormtown - July 17, 2009
Yeah
but Tom Watson isn’t a choker. He does miss 3 foot putts on occasion but has a very precise game. He could do it.
ohtobe21likehuston - July 17, 2009
the yips are what killed his game
sirbed - July 17, 2009
Norman is the kind of guy who can go very low
and very high with his score. Tom’s game is much more tight.
ohtobe21likehuston - July 17, 2009
he takes his dog with him?!
Leopold Bloom - July 17, 2009

Ya but Tom is 6 years older and hasn't been relevant since the early part of the Reagan years

no more playing around
adragon - July 17, 2009
HAHA
cuppingmaster - July 17, 2009
At the risk of encouraging inappropriate discussion,
Gingrich was most relevant in the early 1990s, well after Reagan was out of office.
I say this as a matter of historical accuracy, not politics.
iglew - July 17, 2009
I think that's enough politics
let’s score some runs
ohtobe21likehuston - July 17, 2009
your right of course but I thought it was funny
sirbed - July 17, 2009

I drink it if I’m freezing my ass off, but that’s it.
pam5981 - July 17, 2009
Hot chocolate.
Moar bettar.

I like hot tea.
Rated-R Superstar - July 17, 2009
They even have green tea at the place
where they sell pizza. I got by on that during the Raider games when I was sick.

Rated-R Superstar - July 17, 2009
Pizza goes with everything!

Not the word I’d use.

Yeah, me either.
pam5981 - July 17, 2009
Oh, stop it.
pam5981 - July 17, 2009
You are the best.
ohtobe21likehuston - July 17, 2009
Starbucks shouldn't be able to qualify as coffee.
Yuck.
pam5981 - July 17, 2009
Peets!
All the way!
lynnzgal - July 17, 2009
you know.
I have Peets delivered here.
Leopold Bloom - July 17, 2009
You should.
Best. Coffee. Ever.
lynnzgal - July 17, 2009
for serious.
pam5981 - July 17, 2009
I drive past 4 SB's
just to get to Peet’s. And that’s on a good day.
BleedGreen - July 17, 2009
You're awesome!
lynnzgal - July 17, 2009
I have to be honest tho
SB’s occasionally pulls a decent espresso shot. When I worked in Alameda it was just way too convenient.
BleedGreen - July 17, 2009
dude, it's also rocket fuel.
Peets tastes better, but Starbucks jacks your shit up.
Leopold Bloom - July 17, 2009
Which should tell you something.
lynnzgal - July 17, 2009
it does.
If I’m making signs with three hours sleep,
Leopold Bloom - July 17, 2009
I wasnt Starbucks.
Leopold Bloom - July 17, 2009
Someday we'll find out it's made with cocaine
ohtobe21likehuston - July 17, 2009
when I walk into Peets
it FEELS like a coffee shop. Adds to the aromatic ambiance.
BleedGreen - July 17, 2009
Just the smell tells me which one is better.
lynnzgal - July 17, 2009
Where as Starbucks feels like a circus.
pam5981 - July 17, 2009
True story.
The last time I went to Safeco, I bought tickets from someone off CraigsList. She was in a town on the other side of the Seattle Metro area, so we arranged to meet at a nearby Starbucks to make the exchange.
I went and waited at the Starbucks, but she didn’t show. I was almost ready to give up when she arrived. She forgot to specify which Starbucks. Yes, there were two Starbucks in the same freaking shopping center! WTF?
iglew - July 17, 2009
seattle, dude.
Leopold Bloom - July 17, 2009
That sounds like a line from Best In Show
It is dog night after all.
ohtobe21likehuston - July 17, 2009

Leopold Bloom - July 17, 2009

iglew - July 17, 2009
I love you, bro,
but you really gotta see more movies.
I’m convinced were you to know me in real life, you would just blink at me and walk away a lot.
Leopold Bloom - July 17, 2009
Yeah, but at least I get your literary references.
Who else does that?
iglew - July 17, 2009
not too many anymore...
Leopold Bloom - July 17, 2009
Maybe Nick
iglew - July 17, 2009
Yeah, I like him too...
Leopold Bloom - July 17, 2009
I have to admit,
I don’t always.
lynnzgal - July 17, 2009
yeah, but you got a cool job,
with an even cooler building, apparently!
Leopold Bloom - July 17, 2009
I do have a cool job,
but the building freaks me out bit, and I’m tough.
lynnzgal - July 17, 2009
speaking of which
I just got a book off of amazomg for one cent.
one cent!
I can’t decide whether this is an amazing democratization of the written word, or a tragic undervaluing of a work of literature.
and stuff.
bobnothing - July 17, 2009
there's a lot of those about, bob.
I used to sell books on Amazon, but stopped because books kept “pennying out.”
Leopold Bloom - July 17, 2009
I dispose of my unwanted books
(Phillip Roth, I’m looking at you) through swaptree.com, where people send you stuff! in return for crap you don’t want! amazing!
truely, we live in a guilded age
bobnothing - July 17, 2009
I do a lot of Freecycle,
but not with books.
Leopold Bloom - July 17, 2009
I have so far received
a copy of Hero, Black Sheep, and, erm, something I don’t remember.
good times.
bobnothing - July 17, 2009
I can't tell if that's a clever pun
or a simple misspelling.
iglew - July 17, 2009
no no
it’s a working all day misspulting.
who am I kidding. it’s just me being inattentive
bobnothing - July 17, 2009

how O-Cab and Vlad had so much pine tar on their helmets that you couldn’t see the logo…like they were ashamed of beings Slegna.
Kallus - July 17, 2009
Thats why we Raider fans wear so much makeup, outfits and drink so much before 10 am

Kallus - July 17, 2009
Orca first to third on Matt's base hit

that was supposed to be a question
Kallus - July 17, 2009
ironically our offense would be a little less brutal
if we were better at hitting sacrifice flies

Future Ed - July 17, 2009
Gary Matthews, Jr. not panning out...
…was pretty damn predictable.
GreenNGoldSooner - July 17, 2009
that was a pitch right there
cuppingmaster - July 17, 2009
We should trade for this Matthews guy
He’d fit right in.
worldblee - July 17, 2009
LOL @ slegnA
And Hunter not panning out was also way expected.
Hunter’s good, but his defense is going in the wrong direction. And he’s getting old.
Blicks - July 17, 2009
slegnA announcers were going on about
Wuertz having 25 K’s in his last 13 innings
now that’s 26 in 13.1 if they are correct.
Trainman - July 17, 2009
they are
he’s scary good
adragon - July 17, 2009
Do I hear 27 in 13.2?
worldblee - July 17, 2009
He could tell them that the slider is coming and they have no chance
Sick, nasty slider!
asfaninpismobeach - July 17, 2009

i just can’t stand hudler. makes me want to poke my eyes.
cuppingmaster - July 17, 2009

But Phys is pretty damn bad!
GreenNGoldSooner - July 17, 2009
I would pay to see them against each other in a Cage Match
ohtobe21likehuston - July 17, 2009

canseco vs. hudler
cuppingmaster - July 17, 2009
JOSE WAS OURS.
Good or bad, he was an Oakland A. He greatly helped us to win a WS and helped get us into two more. Any other claim is spurious, at best.
Leopold Bloom - July 17, 2009
Is that you BBG?
ohtobe21likehuston - July 17, 2009
no, just sick of revisionist history.
Josehead was, is and always will be a huge part of our collective past. The sooner we embrace that, the sooner we come to terms with the steroid era.
Leopold Bloom - July 17, 2009
+1,000
GreenNGoldSooner - July 17, 2009

pam5981 - July 17, 2009
yup
adragon - July 17, 2009
Yup
GreenNGoldSooner - July 17, 2009
Though to be fair, he was always pretty broken to begin with.
GreenNGoldSooner - July 17, 2009
Taking out an A was the only way Speier doesn't get chewed out by Mikey
After his crappy pitching performance.
worldblee - July 17, 2009
So who does Bailey drill in the 9th?
Oh right, it’s the A’s. Eh, they’re not playing like the A’s tonight — drill ’em, Bails.
Nico - July 17, 2009
Let's drill two
sirbed - July 17, 2009
Two more games to get even
ohtobe21likehuston - July 17, 2009

it’s not like they have wins to spare
bobnothing - July 17, 2009
drill abreu
he’s got some extra padding
cuppingmaster - July 17, 2009
I like this idea
adragon - July 17, 2009
Maybe Geren will bring in Casilla just for kicks
Technotofu - July 17, 2009
At last, a use for Casilla!
worldblee - July 17, 2009
Well played, sir
Technotofu - July 17, 2009
Not fair
He’s a master of identity theft.
GreenNGoldSooner - July 17, 2009
bring in Jairo Garcia, then bring in Springer, then have Santiago Casilla finish it off
Kallus - July 17, 2009
Now you're talking
worldblee - July 17, 2009
I don't want to want to say that the pitcher is umm...big...
…but

i'll pretend i didn't hear that
cuppingmaster - July 17, 2009
4 run lead
do you bring in Bailey?
adragon - July 17, 2009
You bring in Casilla. When he's ejected you bring in Bailey.
Nico - July 17, 2009
No
But Casilla will see that Bailey is needed

I usually have some divisional pride.

pam5981 - July 17, 2009

nothing surpasses my hate for the slegnA
cuppingmaster - July 17, 2009
Red Sox hate.
Giants hate.
Then Stay Puft/Chone hate.
Leopold Bloom - July 17, 2009
slegnA >
Giants > Sox/Yanks
cuppingmaster - July 17, 2009
I thought so too,
until 2002 taught me different. Giants hatred stronger than Angels hatred.
Leopold Bloom - July 17, 2009
yeah it's a tough call where to direct mortal hate
i just figure it’s more logical to hate direct competitors
cuppingmaster - July 17, 2009
same here
plus, there’s the NorCal vs. SoCal thing, too.
Kallus - July 17, 2009
I was unsure until game six.

I want to lick his armpit.
lynnzgal - July 17, 2009

cuppingmaster - July 17, 2009
That's a good thing.
Licking deodorant = icky. Licking sexy sweat = yum.
iglew - July 17, 2009
I thought sweat was disgusting.
Rated-R Superstar - July 17, 2009
That's because you are brainwashed by television ads.

Funny story:
My roommate and I were watching something last night, the news or something similar, and they were talking about blogs.
She turns to me and says, very sweetly, “You know, I don’t think I’ve ever read a blog…. Have you?”
I didn’t even know where to start.
pam5981 - July 17, 2009

No, really, I do. It’s a freaking sauna in here.

I like it, sorry,
lynnzgal - July 17, 2009
Me too.
It’s 58 degrees though.
pam5981 - July 17, 2009
I'm especially fond of wrists, because
you can often get away with it on someone whom you’re not really intimate with. It’s the zone with the best erogenous-to-socially-acceptable ratio.
iglew - July 17, 2009
I need a chart.

Wait, what does “erogenous” mean?
Rated-R Superstar - July 17, 2009

So many of the starlets that the young boys love I don’t understand at all, but I sure do love Miss Alba. Those arms! <sigh>

Arms? What?
Rated-R Superstar - July 17, 2009
my thoughts exactly
i’m not sure she has any
cuppingmaster - July 17, 2009
Alba has the whole package.
Bitch!

i actually prefer the other jessica
but hey id’ take either
cuppingmaster - July 17, 2009
Jessica Biel is gorgeous...but not in this pic, though
Kallus - July 17, 2009
When I see a picture of Jessica Biel like that,
I want to turn the page and look at the other side.

I agree not a good pic
but a great body

Kallus - July 17, 2009
Unlike Kim K, she has not figured out
what her best pose is.
iglew - July 17, 2009
She has. And you would like her booty. It's a very good one.
pam5981 - July 17, 2009
No disappointment here.
lynnzgal - July 17, 2009
Her do is awesome, too.
lynnzgal - July 17, 2009
that picture accentuates the opposite parts i am attracted to
cuppingmaster - July 17, 2009
Hence the screen name?
iglew - July 17, 2009
(Kallus changes screen name to "buttmaster")
Kallus - July 17, 2009
not the origination of the screen name
but an ironic coincidence, at least in this case
cuppingmaster - July 17, 2009
You are under the impression I hadn't seen that??
I’m just saying Kim seems to always pose like that, whereas Jessica B does only occasionally.
I’m actually not a huge fan of Ms Biel, but she does have da butt.
iglew - July 17, 2009
Shoulda known better.
pam5981 - July 17, 2009
well, I've seen her best pose
but posting it would get me bANned!
Kallus - July 17, 2009
she has arms?
adragon - July 17, 2009
Oh come on, look at the picture.
Yes, I normally love all the other deliciously curvy parts of Miss Jessica, but in this animation what is being featured? It’s the bit where her arm swoops over her face and the camera lingers on that luminously beautiful shoulder. That’s art, man.
iglew - July 17, 2009
Whoa, I didn’t even see it like that ’til now.
Rated-R Superstar - July 17, 2009
That's OK.
I think I was well into my 30s before I learned to truly appreciate beautiful arms.
But if you want to be precocious, you know who has amazing arms? Michelle Rodriguez. Holy shit, she is to die for. She knows it, too. Always showing them off.
Madonna in her prime also had very sexy arms.
iglew - July 17, 2009
her?
cuppingmaster - July 17, 2009
iglew - July 17, 2009
Look at the vein in the right arm. She has bigger guns than me.
Rated-R Superstar - July 17, 2009
yes
i’m not a fan of that. but whatever floats your boat
cuppingmaster - July 17, 2009
