A's and Jays tied 2-2 in the bottom of the 11th. Two good pitching performances will go for naught tonight.

Sorry about that... didn't mean to bring up bad associations there. ;)

Blez must "know" something about how long

this game is actually going to last. This should be an indicator for me to go to bed before we go 17 innings.

This game is going to have to

go on long enough for Scutaro to hit a blind walk off home run, stumbling over the bases and passing out at home plate.

Is it wrong that I have more faith in a Scutaro with vertigo than any other hitters in a clutch situation?

Or to hit one out

and run to third base.

I don't know

Is it wrong that I have no faith in the bullpen once Embree leaves this game?

by ozzman99 on Aug 27, 2007 10:29 PM PDT up reply actions

No. That shows intelligence.

Thank you!

I take back all the rude home-cleaning appliance comments I have made.

I do, however, reserve the right to reinstate them at a later date,

by ozzman99 on Aug 27, 2007 10:32 PM PDT up reply actions

Fair enough. You won't be here tomorrow either.

That gives me a two day reprieve.

I'm sure I'll walk into something else soon.

by ohtobe21likehuston on Aug 27, 2007 10:39 PM PDT up reply actions

I walk into stuff all the time

That's why I hate walls, doors, etc. Why put this stuff there when you know it will simply impede movement? Very inefficient. Besides, imagine how much more land we could free up if we eliminated superfluous walls.

i totally agree.

by jackcustismyhero32 on Aug 27, 2007 10:29 PM PDT up reply actions

yeah

but only because the one-two punch of stewart/davannon is back-to-back singling and walking the jay's relief pitchers to death. or if not death, annoyance.

by Feeba on Aug 27, 2007 10:30 PM PDT up reply actions

This will be worth it if it goes

25 innings.

by mikeA on Aug 27, 2007 10:35 PM PDT reply actions

woo-hoo!

11 innings, 14 lob! That's the way, guys!

by ozzman99 on Aug 27, 2007 10:35 PM PDT reply actions

Just another night of double-digit LOB.

I'm so used to them at this point.

That will put them to sleep. Or just highlights of the A's offense.

So you can sleep of course.

That is a great idea. We normally speak English

but it could work. Here is our normal meeting-

Do you have order?

Yes.

When will order ship?

4 weeks.

How much?

$72,000

I will wire check.

Okay.

It takes two hours

for this conversation to take place in English? Learn some Chinese and I bet you could waste away an entire day.
