Open Thread: Game 78 - AAA's at Cleveland (cont.)

They really need a "10 runs up" rule in the big leagues (except when Boston is at Baltimore). 14-3 Indians going to the 7th.

So sue me.
Sock it to me.
Are you reporting from the future?

The rally is on.

We don't rally until there's 2 outs.

What was that, Matt?

Holiday?

If you keep swinging like that, for sure you will not get a chance to go to a contender this year.

Look, we have a Travis Buck sighting.

I thought the game started at 7:00

now I’m kind of glad I forgot about the road trip. I think I will go play Punch Out!! instead of watching the end . . . maybe.

Buck appearance!
Buck sighting!!

For awhile I thought he was back in Sacramento

Buck was brought in to rescue this game.

If we lose now, it’ll be all his fault.

No football score now!!

I wonder how many Cleveland fans are saying

“darn, I wish that was a triple.”

My least favorite pseudo-stat.

oh look. we made the cleveland fans happy!!!
Except for the cycle-happy ones.

They’re mad that it was another homer.

Put up a fight at least.

Mini-tease, maybe?

only if it's mini
Way out west.
/squeaky voice/

Way out West

Vinnie just said this is the type of game that just “chews” up your bullpen, but denied a pun was intended.

4 errors between the two teams. what an ugly game

DFA Bobby Crosby. hitting .199 and making errors all over the place.

If we get within 10, I'll be placated.
If we get within 10, I'll be shocked.
who's pitching tomorrow??

Mazzaro is pitching against Pavano.

we fucking suck, its unbareable
Eric Wedge is quite good-looking.
And he's an excellent fighter pilot.
Then again......

if we do get within 10, Geren can brag how he likes how the guys fight till the end!!

Nico has already left us for the Giants.

I keep thinking this thing can't get worse

but the A’s find a way.

Well, to be fair, it hasn't gotten any worse in the last half inning.
Is it football season already?
Does Jimenez really pronounce his name

“gym-uh-nezz”? Man, talk about not Mexican enough.

Gimenez.

Oh, OK.

But it still ought to be pronounced like “hee-MEN-ess”, right?

is there a 10 run tease coming up?
Tying run on deck!

(assuming we bat around)

perhaps, I may watch the giants afterall - get my mlb$tv worth
I was supposed to go to that game tonight.

I think some of my friends are trying to convert me.

they have white shirts and black ties and ride bicycles?
Yeah and I just pretend I'm not home when they come knocking.
Tying run at the plate!

(assuming we bat around)

You know, I still like Ryan Sweeney.

Ken K. has the score as 5 field goals by Paul Groza.
oh oh manny's up
Peace out peeps. Have some fun with your night and try to forget about the game!
Wow. Ouch.
Stupid Buck.

Just lost the game for us. See, that’s what happens when you let him play.

Ehhhhhhh. Missed the game.

Ugh…err…Cahill got knocked around a bit… It happens with young pitchers.

I hope Gaudin embarrasses the shit out of Manny, btw. I’m off to listen to hopefully Gaudin own the Doyers.

As awful as that A's game was,

it was still more enjoyable than any Giants game.

Peace out, all.

actually, I went and did something else

once Cleveland went up 10-3…
