It's like I've been saying all spring
This is an unstoppable offensive juggernaut that should easily carry the A's to 100 wins!
There is an A in Whimsy.

With this pitching too
How about 120 wins????
I wish.

I love showing up from work...
and seeing the A's kicking ass.

I hope he does well
I feel bad watching him struggle, even if it is for the Giants.

I hate to nitpick because I love all the rallies
and 2 out rbi's but the A's have like zero power in the lineup. Maybe when the weather starts warming up more balls will get out. It also wouldn't hurt (power wise) to have a healthy Chavez in there.
A's all the way in 08 . . . oh never mind!

Nasty cell going through

Good thing they stopped now
If they decide that they can't play any more tonight the game will be officially only 7 innings and the score will be 9 to 1. If they had waited for the next out, the 8th inning would count.. Let's hope for them calling it a game..
"Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, either way, YOU'RE RIGHT !"
Old rule was if..
it was called from rain it goes back to the last closed inning. Not sure if thats still the rule.
When will then be now? Soon.
It wouldn't matter in this situation
but that stupid rule was abolished many years ago. All action that occurs before a rain delay counts.
Live radar
I don't think this delay lasts too long...

Great game up till now......
I am rooting for a rain out......LOL!!! Go A's!!
There is no A in OFFENSE!!
I hope we win 9-1 today!
I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal
Gotta say it...
A rainout would really piss me of if I was an Indians fan. IF! Since I'm not, I'll have to call my uncle in Cleveland and gloat a little.
Is this Heaven? No, it's Iowa. -Field of Dreams
looking at the Cleveland blog
and they haven't caught up to the idea that the game could be over... I suspect they understand their weather better than we do. Rain delay... resume action. Just a guess. I fly over those states.

no... 5 innings, game's official
"It's too bad there are no Hallmark cards saying, 'Sorry your loved one was killed by a foul ball.'" -- The Iowa Baseball Confederacy, W.P. Kinsella
A "suspended game"
occurs when the road team has either tied the game or gone ahead in the top half of the inning in which the rain delay occurs. The old rule, alluded to above, was that the score reverted to the last previous completed inning, the road team's run(s) in the top of the inning were nullified and the home team was declared the winner. That rule ripped off a number of teams over the years (I specifically remember one instance where the A's had runs wiped out and lost a game in Chicago).
In this situation, there has not been a tie or a lead change in the inning in which the rain delay occurred. Therefore, if the game cannot be resumed tonight, the game is complete and the A's win by a score of 9-6. All action that happened before the delay is reflected in the official statistics; there is no longer any wiping out of action and reversion to a previous inning.
ah
the old "lead change" rule... good thing
a) Garko did not get the GS and
b) Casilla did not throw that last pitch.
Proof that the gawds hate Cleveland (or racist mascots, or both).
"It's too bad there are no Hallmark cards saying, 'Sorry your loved one was killed by a foul ball.'" -- The Iowa Baseball Confederacy, W.P. Kinsella
Actually another recent rule change
is that an official game can no longer end in a tie. If Casilla had delivered one more pitch, and it had gone out of the park to make the score 9-9, the game would be suspended at this point and resumed tomorrow. Just a few years ago, it would have been declared a "tie game" (assuming it could not be resumed tonight). All individual statistics would count, but the A's and Indians would have had to add another game to their schedule.
Hey, at least we get o watch Zito get rocked
for a little while.

Best thing someone could do
is start a Class Action suit against MLB & MLBtv over the blackouts. You're paying for a 162 games season and you aren't getting it. The ONLY way MLB will ever stop is if they're forced to. There's a large population to pick up a suit like this, you just need a lawyer willing to put in the time and effort to track them down a throw it in MLB's face.
In search of a new signature. Say something funny and you may see your comment here!
Not really
they're just trying to set up "better" territories. Anyone in the bay area would still get screwed, it would just make someone in Vegas have a better opportunity to see games.

Agreed
I don't generally need MLBtv, but there have been times where it would have been nice to have the option.
