Open Extra Innings Thread: Game 99 - A's at Red Sox (cont)

A surreal ninth inning sees the A's score three runs off Jonathan Papelbon with the aid of Tommy Everidge's first Major League hit, a double off the very top of the Green Monster, and some very bad Nick Green defense.

7-7 going to the tenth.

Of five panhandlers?

Or five English butts?

Wuertz trade value

Up big with scouts watching.

count me in the keep wuertz camp
his slider is ridiculous
It may as well be a splitter
yes....I want him to stay an A!
Yay for atbat.tv
Let's just get to Tommy
Tommy Rouse, I'm telling ya!

Or, in the 18th inning, Tommyah Bowie.

Tommy Carcetti?

Councilman from the 1st District?

Both in New York

I was there for the first.

Sweet. But you left in the top of the 3rd?
That Micah Bowie game was awesome.
Epic.
I love the long, excruciating games.

And then if we win in the end, so much the better.

How did Hairston get in the conversation
As long as it's not Tommy John
Well, this is something nice to come back from class to see
roomy.

Now with more innings!

Extra inning Boobies!
wow! i got home in time to watch the crazy top of the 9th.

and i thought it was going to be just a big tease.

well, time will tell.

but I’ll try to remain optimistic.

Ocab lets GOOOOOOO!!!!!
Pappelbon needs to "Fucking Wear It!"...
Does Papelbon eat a towel after each blown save?
I didn't know he was related to Tarkanian
Does that mean Papelbon is on NCAA probation
With a side of ugly, yes.
Did you see him looking

demonic on the mound??? When he blew it?

Seriously, what is it about his face that makes one want to punch it?
smugness
it's a different way than I wanted to slap F-Rod.
He falls in line with Pierzynski and Lowe
yeah....yeah he does....

No, I like Towlie.

He’s not a douche.

wanna get high?

Looks like you're too late.
you're a stupid towel.
And you're all wet
oh nico.

when will you learn popular culture vernacular? When?!

you're a towel!
Juuuuuuust a bit inside
YAY! FREE GYMNASTICS!

Apadravyas for everybody!

WTF?
Oh cmon dude, it doesn't hurt THAT much
Barton begs to differ
Oh dear God, NOOOOOOOOO
Nomah finally comes thru!
Nomah redemption
He read the comments and thought they were hurtful

But it apparently motivated him.

Leave Nomar alone
Just get to Tommy
I might try those mini chicken things from JitB tonight. The A's are making me wait

Yay Nomar. Now you do it.

NOMAR=redemtion
what Nomahhh

gets a freakin hit

how do you post a picture?
wats the format
HTML
my bad....

I mean the script

You can post any internet picture

But can’t upload your own pics.

I just photobucket 'em
You can't stop Reverse Ramon

hes about due...
I'm not sure, but I think I'm getting this quicker than all of you....

weird.

you're closer
Hey, I just realized we got that rally

with no pictures.

Who would have thought it?

There was one
It was Bloom.
I do seem to have that effect...

Perhaps we don't need pictures!

Perhaps we’ve been wrong to blindly follow the medical traditions and superstitions of past centuries. Maybe we should test these assumptions analytically, through experimentation and a “scientific method”. Maybe this scientific method could be extended to other fields of learning: the natural sciences, art, architecture, navigation. Perhaps I could lead the way to a new age, an age of rebirth, a Renaissance!

Naaaaaahhh!

quick, someone write a statistics based book that challenges old assumptions and points to glorious new future!
And make it into a movie

OH wait…..never mind.

Sacrilege!

Next I suppose you’re going to tell me this rock doesn’t keep tigers away.

life is a rock, but the radio rolled me.
Love is like a rock

according to Donnie Iris

She loves me like a rock.

or so Paul Simon said.

he was outside smoking himself a "J"
Cust no come thru....
I hear some scattered "Let's Go Oakland" chants
we're everywhere.

In very small numbers, but everywhere.

there were audible oakland chants at the yanks games too

i may or may not have started one

seriously, it's pretty much always everywhere.

It’s always here in St. Pete as well.

I think Gigs is there.
3 strikeouts

Cust calls this Tuesday

Passed ball to add some mo' pain!
look at Nomah stealing bases......oooooohh!
We're the Red Sox

We’re too cool to throw on steals.

Nomah gets a steal and paramedics aren't called to the field?

I like it.

Maybe Green was distracted or something

Kurt Kiyoshi Suzuki

Get yourself up to the plate and get a hit, young man.

We need to hurry up and win.

My laptop keeps overheating. I literally put it in the freezer, twice so far tonight.

you're gonna get condensation

water. laptops. bad.

Just briefly.

If I shut down I lose MLB audio. So I open the freezer and sit it there for a few minutes to cool down.

Do you have a fan you can point at it?
That's..not good
Is it hot there?
It was 101 this afternoon.

Fucking ridiculous. I left California to get away from crappy weather like this.

In SEATTLE?!
One of my FB friends says it's 104 in Portland
Wait -- is that "fuck buddy" or "friends (with) benefits"?
"Fuck Boston"
Jesus, it's not that hot here.
:: Shakes fist at Bay ::
Nice catch by Bay

asshole

asshole...

Ward Cleaver-

Do not dis June and go play golf again with Mr. Rutherford!

I think Mr. Rutherford was made up.

Ward was busy in the red light district, getting freaky with the prostitutes.

Nnnooooooooo.

Do not like Bay.

you know what pisses me off?

when a piece that they bought (in this instance, Bey) steps up and makes a great play for them.

They’re douches. They’re not supposed to get all the talent.

That's baseball it ain' fair
wait, actually it is supposed to be somewhat level.
Eh. When one of the Yanks or Sux don't make the playoffs this year

Since the Rangers are actually 2nd to the Sox in the WC race, I wouldn’t mind them taking the WC.

It’s better than the Sux, period.

It only gets my ire up when we play them and I see how loaded they are.

It’s just so stacked in their favor.

Yanks and Sux can afford to buy the best

If they have to throw back a few they can take the hit since they make $$$. Unlike us.

Reading the recent article on Beane

I couldn’t help but feel frustrated with the bit about the BoSox emulating the A’s strategies and proudly declaring how they also benefit from a strong market

Yeah, it ain’t fair

That's from the school of

Eating cake and having it too…..

bayyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!

(set to khannnnnnn)

I keep thinking that Wendy's stole the spicy chicken recipe

from P.F. Changs.

And they stole it from Panda Express
Who oddly enough stole it from Fudruckers
wha?
A burger joint chain resturant that has my favorite name ever
who, in turn, stole it from a Korean man,

named Yon Song Ill.

who originally stole it from Kim Jong Il who created EVERYTHING
Ah the dear Leader

Do you know he once had 7 holes in one in his first round of golf

yes

I play golf and that is the most “laughable” of all his statements. China may swat that fly before too long.

I think cancer will beat China.
Looks that way
on this topic, did you see their new beer comercial?

it’s pretty… hm, lengthy?

http://www.adpulp.com/archives/2009/07/beer_for_the_pe.php

Lies! Spread by his detractors!

He clearly had 10.

On the FIRST HOLE

Oh wait, that was me.

I've been there
Turkmenbashi created Kim Jong Il out of a piece of clay!

Yalie should hate Boston as much as anyone
i really dont like

 giving up those 3 pitchers for hairston

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Not Casilla!

I think when the other's team closer is spent,

on the road it makes sense to go to your closer in a tie game. I hope the A’s don’t lose without Bailey ever seeing the mound. No way should Casilla get in before Bailey.

I liked going with Wuertz but not Casilla
Highest leverage situation possible

Best pitcher should always be in late-inning tie, unless match-ups dictate otherwise.

Casilla = do. NOT. want.
C'mon Breslow, get 'em out!
Big time catch for Evs!
Wow walked three of last 7 first batters he faced

interesting stat

everidge is a big boy too huh
i was just thinking the exact same thing
now i wanna see a race between him, cust, and powell
Cust is really fast

Sincerely,

Ray Fosse

Stupid Boston fans had me worried for a second
His era is high, but I like Brewlow.
hahaha! sit down, suckers!
Wow, that's a home run last series
I gotta go.

Great game, but not worth frying my computer. Peace out.

Good luck with it
That went further than I would have liked.

But at the end of the day, a very quick inning.

Boola boola

Booga Booga Boogaloo
dodged a big one there
Time for an Everidge bomb

A little higher this time.

oh sweeney
heart fluttering over there?

no he;s just a visual substitute for someone else

guess the BF isn't home haha

no and i’m talking about a rivercat, no one fantasizes about their bf? ooops that was not good

Well, I certainly don't fantacize about mine.

but he’s really kind of a prick.

haha

okay i know who now

I'm back

You can start fantasizing again.

okay

glad I could help.

you missed our boy at bat

That's ok, I was thinking about you

:D

AHEM...I can still see you!
notice how well we do without Geren...
small sample size, but this.
haha, that's awesome

I forgot he wasn’t there for the comeback!

Bet he wished he’d get kicked out more often; fires up the team!

I credit Geren with standing up for his young pitcher

If he had any effect, it would be the A’s battling back (and I wouldn’t go that far, I’m just saying he’s certainly not to blame).

too bad he missed 4_+

hours of an inspired baseball comeback

Geren would have pulled Breslow after one out and put in Casilla
Hey Saito up

I’ll take my chances with him

You guys in the dugout want to stand up or something
Nice guys finish last
Screw you, Lowell.
Grrrrr

Excellent play.

Someone should've kneecapped Lowell at the rail
Ouuucchhhh.
They should just walk him
unfortunately

he made it look easy

Damn, that was the pitch

YOU HAVE NOT disappointed.
What the hell
How can one misread that situation?
whoa

look what I found

Jim Edmonds he was a ball buster
rally weiner grab.
is that a "real" picture?
It's actually an image. Yes.
Ummm...where did that MISS!?
Caught a break on that one
I'll take a "rally-killing HR" any day

Glen = epically stupid

the best quote I ever heard like that was

someone going on about how doubles are better than home runs, and some reporter said “yeah, too bad Mazeroski didn’t hit a double”

Forgive me

I actually subscribe to that theory and always have when it comes to late innings

deserves the loss for that facial hair alone

wow.

you’re hired.

Flashfire, pack a bag.

would be no one else but kendall
Look at Tommy workin' the count
Gotta like his bat
that little fucker!
Pedroia I hate you ya little biatch!
Can you guys stop making nice defensive plays, please? That's three in a row.
Tommy was robbed

welcome to the big league kid

i hate pedroia too
I hate Dustin PEDroia.

Awwww he looks like he's crying.
Could you cool it with the photo dumps, please?
Ok Ill make sure they are meaningful to the current situation.....
Thanks

We just had a request recently about rally pics being overused.

does it slow people down?

or is it a rights issue?

It can slow things down but some of it was NSFW as well...

…and getting to the point where some people felt there were too many being posted.

I think the general consensus is “keep it reasonable.”

go read the thread
It's still among the "recommended fanposts"
Also, they're too big. Add "height=250" to the end of the code.
and skin up them beavers--we'll have 'em for breakfast.
barret just doing wat everyone else was thinking
I don't like you either Pedroia.
Unicorn double
Unicorn Power!!!!!
Sit down,

assholes

Do you believe in unicorns?

YES!

That was a lousy pitch...how about another?!
The boston fans behind home plate are douches

They’re actually complaining about the ump’s strike zone. Earlier, you could see two of them getting booted by security.

Geren got booted along with them!
he is eating Dunkin Donuts as we speak
mmmm dunkin

i wanna go to that donut shop in space like on the sprint commercial

dunkin doughnuts is overrated.

and they’re everywhere, and the frickin’ chowds (who are also everywhere in this town) think they’re the best thing under the sun.

they taste better than the crap here in LA
yes, but you're in LA.

not where you can get DD. Be grateful.

in space no one can hear your arteries harden

Ellis is having a hell of a night
Behold the Power of the Unicorn!
Unicorn's average has soared to .237
He is trying to catch Bobby Crosby's ROY campaign
As much as I really don't like them, I am impressed by how many Bro Sox fans have hung around
Raj power next.....????
C'mon Raj...do what you did last time!
holy crap, it's still going. and i missed the big inning.
Hit and run bunt anyone?
ellis isn't fast enough
{quietly decreases dosage}
Yes>.........he did it!
RAJAI FARKING DAVIS
RAJ!!!!

GREAT HITTING!!!

YES YES YES BABY BABY PLEASE!!!!!
We're going to get along great.

that’s what i screamed

I'm gonna need a demonstration.
WE LOVE YOU RAJAI.
RAJAIIIIIII
You did it! :-)
Once again- Rajai Davis

Play the son-of-a-bitch!

How great is this
This is Rickey great!! LOL
Rickey says,

“Rickey would agree.”

so this is what the Apocalypse feels like
Sweet Rajioline
Rajai!!!!

woo-hoo

Time For

Bailey to win this thing!

This is awesome!
Raj!

Gotta hand it to the guy. I thought he was useless during the first month or two of the season, but he’s been coming up big lately (and we’ve been playing him less often…explain that?)

He's been good "lately"

about 3 weeks ago :-)

Yeah well...lately enough.
bye bye beardy bloke

your jawline is not where you think it is

beware the great white shoes
A beard is no substittute for a jaw line, no matter how you trim it.
A beard is no substittute for a jaw line personality, no matter how you trim it.
muahahahahahhahaah
I'm a believer now..

RADIO!

The lovely A's have had 20 hits today

Lovely.

It's remarkable what can happen when

you have the right players in and you let them do what they do well.

Which is funny, because tonight's lineup was garbage.
I remember you saying something about that
The sun even shines on a dog's ass some days.
As I've been saying...

Our garbage lineups have been raking more often than not for a week or so.

If we don't pinch hit Davis for Patterson

this game is over a loooooong time ago.

We're not done scoring

Kennedy gets on with 5th hit. OCab repeats what he did last time he faced Saito.

you da man

good call

good to know that holliday didnt mean shit to our offense
That was a great piece of hitting by Raj...YAY!

Steal a base!

yep, try for another run
And Kennedy: TAKE THE PITCH
yup, he took that outside pitch thru that giant hole to right

didn’t try to do too much or pull the damn pitch

Gotta love it

> Red Sox

the rajai streak
Wowzers is he fast!!!!

Pitch out AND a steal!

Raj beats the pitchout even...love it!
Defensive indifference
pitching incompetence

missed the sign

2 great comebacks in one week. I do love this team!
WHY DO I ALWAYS TUNE IN AFTER THE BIG INNING
dude can run run run
raj slipped rounding first on both of his last hits...
ak satisfaction!
This is good stuff
SIGN KENNEDY!!!

Five hits, baby!

KENNEDY SIGN!!

Can he give us free insurance?
Ask not what your insurance can do for you...

….ask what you can do for your insurance!

QOTM
whoa.

out of my head, you.

FARK YOU, BOSTON
Keep 'em coming!
Are we really watching the Oakland Athletics tonight?
5 hits for Chappaquiddick!!!!
{spelling may vary}
I thought the Chappaqui-dick was Papelbon?
Your spelling has drowned
AK-47 with the insurance policy.
Adam Kennedy is a fucking pimp
Supah Piamp!
mini buffalo RAJ
Also, all bow down to AK
magic wand of adam kennedy...

i like that saying, kind of like when they say a hot bat

i can't think of a clean reply to that comment

glen kuiper said it

i tend to tune glen out
AKKK!

Next time add height="250" to the image please
Let's regulate
that'll be fun for you for the next 60 games or so.
I won't say it all the time

But for the overly large ones, sure.

must be your

inner bureaucrat coming out.

are you on a

CRT monitor or something? O.o

Doesn't matter what kind of monitor I'm using.
sorry man...

thought 1024×768 was standard res these days….

Again, it's not about screen resolution

People have started asking for large pics to be resized when people post them.

That a BIG gun

Listen to the Chowdah-heads gettin' upset

Lovin every minute of it

wow AK is a machine
Enjoy it, Beantown!
Red Sox claim "Team indifference"

and demand victory back.

Ha ha ha ha ha
Mr. Kennedy!

Insurance!

it's quiet in Boston....
I thought the sox bullpen was supposed to be their strength

I hope the Sports Guy is watching this game.

25 IP, 0 ER since the break until tonight!
yep, that sounds like a strength

best pen in the league

when Raj & co. are killing you...

the runs should count for double in the era stats

Wuertz pricetga

just went up a couple of prospects! ;)

or is that prospestc?
too excited from

21 hits….:X

As did OCab's demand.

and thus his pricetag.

A's hits can now go out for a drink
They have 21?!?!?!?! Really!?!?!
Kennedy looks like, at times at the right angle, one

of the dumb and dumber guys….Jeff? what’s his name?

Celebrate Sox Annihilation with Banksy

love the a's fans with the rally caps sitting in the back of the plate
Nice move, Saito

seemed sort of indifferent

Top two guys have 8 hits and 0 runs

solid

Haha.

I hate Boston. So much.

Not as much as me
We don't hate you that much
that's right eck, the baseball gods sometimes inhabit the bay
I thought he actually sounded (secretly) happy when we tied it up in the 9th.
eck might as well have gotten his 400 saves with the sox

the way he talks about them

well, he is paid by them...
i suppose

he’s just become a homer. i expected better.

you know,

it’s kind of our own fault.

We could’ve hired him.

"The A's are playing with a lot of energy tonight" --- maybe the absence of Geren is instilling the team with new confidence?!
Or they got inspired by him actually caring
Maybe..I've noticed when Geren MANAGES, we win. It's a freaky thought.
Geren?

the guy kicked out in the 3rd?

Or maybe he fired them up when he got his ass kicked out of the game
Bailey time

I love me some Baliey – with or without coffee

Kennedy You Loser!

Dumb this guy before he starts costing us big bucks!

;-)

The impressive thing about this game to me is

the A’s have scored all of these runs without a single homerun.

Thank goodness some of those hits started coming with guys in scoring position and with 2 outs. Very nice boys…

I'm not sure "impressive" means what you think it means.
A lot of really good approaches

Hard shots where the ball was pitched.

C'mon, let's nail this down!!!
A's 9-25 with RISP!!!

what’s more impressive – 9 hits, or 25 opportunities!

That's like two weeks worth on both sides
Red Sox

are undoubtedly the most hated team by A’s fans.

The arrogance is just legendary. The bandwagoners in Oakland. 2003. The success of late. I just despise their fans and their players.

They're number one on my list.
Not for me....but I know I'm out of step here.

Though I agree 100% about the fans.

I've met several *new* Red Sox fans

It’s very dissapointing to say the least

nothing surpasses my hate for the slegnA
It's not even close in my book
Los Angeles Angels of Anahiem
I still think the MLB rigged game 3 of that

…ludicrous interference/non-interference calls…

Too bad Miggy didn't keep running
NO!

DO.NOT.RE.LIVE.

Stop.

It's like 1988 or something
We beat the Sox in 88
Yeah. I'll stop the memories there.
That, we don't talk about here.
Lets do this A's
Let's go Beetle!
For some reason Lowell really bugs!
I WAS going to go get dinner...

…about 7, but I’m not complaining!

I'm waiting on dinner, myself

And I have a recap to do.

That's called Friday night for me...:-)
geren ejection=A's win ?
Lowell as good as struck out

offensive indifference

"Guess not,"

reply baseball gods.

Of course it's not going to be easy
for crying out loud
damn, come on
And there goes OCabs trade value.

DFA him!

That play was a bit of a game-changer
Firefox?

Can I please post a picture of Oakland A’s Jersey Girl? HOT!

no rally pics when the other team is batting
You mean Alyssa Milano?

No.

not Milano, cute Philippino chick
okay, I guess you're alright.
You don't do rally pics when the other team is batting
Just like Sunday in New York

And that turned out okay.

I am so

YELLING at my TV right now!!! GAH!!!!!!!!!!

Oh no.........
khaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
Stellaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Come up big here, Bailey!
Okay. K and a pop-up to end it.
i am programmed for boston = disaster, disappointment, etc. etc.
i'm getting scared

somebody hold me?

lol
Sorry, I won't hold you --

Romantic indifference.

::teeth chatter::
Thank God he didn't throw that one down the 1b line

could see that happening…

I don't mind that sac bunt

one out gotten, two to go.

I would take a sac fly right now
Or a ground out
cool, nico, cool
Two down. One to go.

(wags two fingers in the air in solidarity)

need strikeouts here!
We'll win

These guys are gutless.

why is cust still in the game?
Only alternative would be Crosby.
Is Hairston hurt?
Yes -- tight quad
Is he an Athletic?
Tommy Everidge

Smooth as silk.

2 outs...I'll take it. Now get the next guy out so we can all have a happy ending....

;)’

Kottaras at third now...
I'll take a strikeout of this guy
Of course it's Pedroia
Our win exp must be at least 60%.
according to ESPN we have a 3% chance of winning
huh. that kind of looked foul, like it hit the line
on replay: nope, fair
fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck
THROW HIM A HIGH STRIKE

I hear he can’t hit them

i'm afraid pedroia is going to lay one down
I wouldn't worry about that
okay i believe you now
It's just never easy.
high and inside

he can never hit those

have you tried extenze
Get Pederast-roia here

I don’t want to see Pukilis until tomorrow night

Dont give in....
hahahah suck it redsox!
we got this one bitches!!!!!!!!!!!! Fuck yes!
Wooot!

What a satisfying win!

Wow, hell of a win!
YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

FARK YOU BOSTON

WE WIN!

Eat it, Beantown!

GREAT WIN for the A's!

21 hits without Hairston!

YAY FUCK YOU REDSOX
Very nice. What a fun freaking game to watch!
Put that in your next commercial, Pedroyaaa.
that was too nerve wracking
Boo-yah!
How the hell did that lineup get twenty-one hits?
Ceeeeeeelebrate good times, COME ON!
suuuuck on that beaners
FUCK YEAH

DAMN IT BAILEY THAT WAS TOO CLOSE.

But I love youuuuuuu.

In a friendship kind of way.

How often does the TeA'se turn into a sweet win?!
I'm glad to see so many sharing in my hatred for the Red Sox

Even sweeter to get a Blown Save for Papeldouche

Glad to know that I am not the only one,

who has a great loathing for Papledouche.

If anyone on AN doesn't loathe that guy

He/She/It should be bANned.

Now that K-FAIL is on the Mets, Papeldouche is everyone's favorite closer to hate.
At least until Chamberlain takes over for Rivera
Yeah, I think he goes back to the pen eventually.

when the Yanks buy another SP this offseason and send Hughes to the rotation.

Oh, look, its a baboon. No, wait, that’s Joba. Not a baboon.

Great win! Great win!
Board was great fun tonight

Even before the comeback.

Agreed

Best game board I have joined in on

It's been a tough season, but the threads have been great!

More whistling past the grave yard than wallowing in misery in bad games. And just lots of fun in good ones.

Thanks for the giggles, all!

That was a great Game!

Bout time! some Offense!

Who said this lineup couldn't hit?
Celebrate good times, come on!
gonna be a long walk for Bill Simmons and his dog tonight.
who pitched against the a's in the 9th?
Papeldouche
The win wouldn't have been the same without him!
Victory Skittles

Garth, your pills!!
Wait. Yellow skittles exist?

Have I missed something?

Tommyboy! Congrats!
Best Board

I have seen yet!

A'S WIN YES!!!!
Another instructive game for the "game over"-ers

Good W.

Some of us learned our lesson

from that come back last week!!

Tommeh!
Nothing better to start a career

than to get that first hit to fuel a ninth-inning comeback, on the way to an improbable win!

Tommeh! indeed!

Great night

Skanks lost also

GO A's see y'all tommorrow
Thank you and goodnight, AN!

<3

Take that Sweet Caroline BIATCHES!!!!
Ladies and gentlemen,

We have arrived in Everidge World!

Way to spark the comeback, Tommy Everidge

I have no objective logic to want him out there at first every night. But subjectively, it looks right. It feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeels right.

he looks as much like a 1Bman as anyone does
Any _two_ people really!
I have objective logic to want him out there at 1B every night

at least for the next 15 games.

Less Crosby in the lineup!!! That’s not a bad thing.

Pappelbon is now officially our bitch!
Why didn't someone shaving cream Tommy Boy?
Oh I'm sure he'll get a few in the clubhouse.
too busy measuring him for his "rookie dress"
LETS GO OAK-LAND!

Have a good one guys.

Trailing after 8 innings

The A’s are now 2-47

tommy everidge

on mlb network

poor kid didn't know what to do.

great to see him get the recognition though.

Yea looked more nervous during the interview his first at bat
Just a great great win.

Let’s do it again!

could be the last time we see wuertz pitch
This makes me sad

although I don’t mind Wuertz being traded.

Why would we trade Wuertz?

Let’s see, he’s not expensive, not going to be a free agent soon.
Oh, he’s one of our GOOD players, that’s why?

That was awesome.
More postgame reports

A’s get 6 runs off the Boston BP that had been perfect since the All-Star break. Sweet

He may have been perfect,

but there have been plenty of times, pre- and post-ASB, that he has almost fallen apart. This guy has huge holes this season and it’s been a long time coming for him. Has dodged WAY to many bullets.

And

The last time the A’s overcame a 3-run deficit in the 9th at Fenway…April, 1930

Tried to find the box score...
