Oakland_tiny by Blez on in News

A's losing 5-2 in the sixth and the A's offense has been dormant against Gil Meche.  Yep, Gil Meche.

Well, except Chavez's bomb.

LET'S GO A'S!!!!!!

That's useful
But there's three runs to overcome, and if we weren't hitting Gil Meche of all people, it's not exactly a given we'll hit their pen tonight either.

Missing Mustache Mojo
Watching Chavy go into the dugout after HR, noticed that JK shaved his porno mustache at some point in the 4-5 innings since they showed him.

how funny!!

He may turn out to be a pretty decent acquisition.

Read up on him
The first half of last season he played extremely well.

At times he was their best pitcher.

My mlb.tv cut out.  It took me several attempts to get the feed back, and when I did, instead of FSN Bay Area, I got the Mariners feed.  

Do they just randomly assign a broadcast to you?

That was actually a pretty good pitch
by Loaiza that Everett hit out.  They just showed it again and it had some good sinking action.

That's the way the game goes sometimes.

we'll have to wait and see how he does next game
And against a different team. If it's a repeat of tonight, then there might be a problem.

Oh, so it's all MY fault we've only gotten 5 hits.
Fine. I'd be happy with just a nice little single here, not picky who hits it, although it would probably be helpful if it was one of the next guys up to bat. I'm easy, just score me a run here and there and I'm good. [and no dirty minds here, please.]
