that was upsetting. I'm glad Bradley wants to win so bad, but I wish he would've walked away before he got thrown out. You can't win the game if you aren't playing. It was hilarious tho how he was trying to get past Macha and Macha literally had him off the ground, carrying him toward the dugout.

That strike 3 slider to Bradley

Figgins in from center to play near 2nd. 5 infielders, 3 on the left, 2 on the right. Outfielders play shallow in mid-left and right.

Marco hits it right at deep center. Even with a rocket up their ass, it was deep enough to score Kielty, so the moment that ball left Marco's bat, it was over.

Only problem with clinching so

early is going to be that we don't get to dance on the Angels mound in Anaheim with reverend Mound dancer himself.

I want to the A's dance on Rev's mound!

Profanity

Why do some of you need to use profanity? Seriously?

Open letter to Blez

Dear Blez,
Hello. How are you? I am fine. I hope your having a good vacation. You might to take a look at this thread & see how some people like to express themselves. They also like to insult others when they have no reason to. Whether its booze or drugs or maybe its just who they are, they need to lighten up. All that matters is the A's are two games closer to clinching the Western Division. Sincerely, bambikiller

Yeah, I'll swear now and then

But this thread was, at times, pointlessly angry and foul.

100% Agreement

Likewise. There's freedom of speech & there's a point when the profanity loses its effectiveness.

This is just how the game threads ARE, though.

Inherently, they're filled with tension and hardcore emotional outbursts -- both of despair and elation. Part of their very nature, I would be extremely surprised to see Blez try to change how they operate.
