Open Game Thread: Game 80 - A's at New York

got the call today. Oh well.

From Slusser:  Triple A Sacramento has had more than 100 transactions already this year!

It's my birthday today, so if the A's could manage to, you know, win, that'd be kinda cool.

game.

Go A's!

Talk about a guy that needs a few days off.  Ugghhh.

No one above .300

yay. :(

that mlbtv is blacked out.    gotta head out and return later for the results or late innings.

Travis Buck shaved his head!

Gaudin might be hiding an injury?

that was good.

Keep it up another 8 innings and just MAYBE we'll have an outside chance of winning.

Seriously.

Pretty funny.

why is Crosby not batting 9th?

yesterday's game that they moved him up in the batting order.  g

I would rather face Johan Santana than some of these obscure guys with 6+ ERA's that we can't hit.

What the hell is he doing?

makes absolutely NO SENSE! The Fox game isn't on until noon! What gives? SOUNDS LIKE I'm not missing anything, though.

This has to be a sign!

Kendall's got 318 feet worth of pop in that bat!  Maybe 325 even!

<gets ready for team to go on 18-2 run>

him to go to Texas?

I just heard it on the MLB Radio feed. How far behind am I? Don't tell me who Rosebud is!

Thats a $30 overdraft fee!

Go KenDOLL!!!

Stewart goes yard

For the moment.

It's a sign! j/k!

Go Stewart!

Kendall's HR was bittersweet....

has raised his OPS to .532. That's only 7 points behind Julio Lugo!

I'm sad that Buck shaved his head. I liked his hair. :(

Did anyone else notice that Swisher is wearing white sunglasses? Can't even stand to have the blackness of regular sunglasses...

And Kendall, trying to one-up Suzuki... my goodness.

(and by that I mean the local TV station, not the website)

Kuiper said that the Yankees took infield practice before the game today.  That's pretty much unheard of these days, a real throwback...no one takes pregame infield practice anymore.  Kinda cool, actually.

...I see a 7-2 sprint to the All-Star Break to give us renewed hope...(I also see the toaster having a tryst with the tea kettle, so take my visions with a grain of salt.)

never fear - Bobby Crosby is up!

<hides women and children>

-Angel

Especially in regards to the top of the Yankees order.

seems to be recovering from his reverse-SAD condition.

It's an obvious thought, but sometimes I feel that this team needs to be reminded that that's the goal of batting.

that's good.

It looks like Fox blacked me out once again. JK HR and SS HR, keep it up.

now? Nice article on Vida Blue, Joe Rudi and Gene Tenace. Did anybody see the Simpsons episode where Homer paints an homage to the '72 A's? SO cool.

of Geren going yard in Toronto as a Yankee catcher.  He looks exactly the same as he does today.

about umpires' calls.  But what if it's both?

he has always been an ego maniac, and calls a shitty game. MLB should be ashamed.

that I passed the audition"

in baseball history.

7.02

Kendall, DJ, a walk for Chavy to make it a 2 run dinger.  GO A's!!!!!!!!!!!!

...I don't like to hear Boston cheers.

When they're at the Big A, I don't like to hear of Anaheim cheers.

But when they're in Yankee Stadium, I love me some Bronx cheers!

Nice job! Keep your position on the team!

You moron.

Dumbass.

Now let's complete a shut out.

Go-Dan is a slacker

the A's will be able to bring Harden in for his two innings <dies laughing>.

Yankees?  Nothing like sending positive vibes to the opposing team.

He's 3 for 3. With a HR.

"Hmmm... should I give our team proctology exams???"

It makes me feel so good about the Yankees, New York, and my country that they have guards enforcing good behavior during their moment of silence.

Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Baseballmannschaft!
