David Seibel again.
I apologize if this is getting anybody down, but this game is my tribute to my recently deceased buddy, Dave Seibel. A joke he used to tell was this: “The best pie I ever had was jess pie.” So we ask him, what’s ‘jess pie?’ And he says, “When I was down in the south, I used to hang out with this black family, the Joneses, and mana Jones made the greatest pies. I asked her one night. ‘How do you do it? What’s in this stuff?’ And she, somewhat abashed, replied, ‘Well, it’s jess pie.’”

How glad I am that on this friday night Im not out with a good looking gal. No, good people of AN, on a night when most other 24 year olds are out and about painting the town red I am here at home watching a baseball game and chatting with y’all.

NO TV - What Happened?
MLB makes it look like a very shallow fly ball, and yet the run scored and the guy at first went to second…
Emil's throw was strong...
...but well over Suzuki’s head at the plate. Run scores, runner easily moves to second.

Brown left his head in Tijuana and threw howitzer to home that Zooks had to dive for, runner advanced.

If those with vision are cursing Emil then I’m guessing it was right-field butchery.

Crosby is skipping past #2.
Honestly, from not catching fly balls to LF,
to missing cutoff men in RF, to making poor throws from SS, to going down 18 in a row against bad pitchers – if we win, it’s a gift.

Yes, it sure was
Now can we please add a run or three
Did You See Wilkerson At Second Base?
Didn’t run hard, didn’t go after Ellis, just kind of tailed off, jogging, into right center field. Happy to see it, but man that’s pathetic with the game on the line. You’ve got to try to take Elly out on that play …
I'm used to cheering
It takes a lot to get me down on my people, but this game….
Okay, Bobby, you got me in this foul mood, get me out of it. 2-2.
BoCro Looks Like Old BoCro Up There...
I noticed it at the game yesterday for the first time yesterday and I’m noticing it again tonight. BoCro looks off balance and lunging at everything. Like the bad old days. How about a day off for Bobby?
AT least
He doesn’t have to face Ichiro, Lopez, and Ibanez.

I bet Hannahan comes in for defense in the 9th
which would make it even worse not using Sweeney there
how are you gonna walk

They should worry about their losing record..

bocro still sucks at hitting and murphy showed why we need to trade for a 3b who can hit…i still say trade ellis for rockies’ ian stewart

move murphy there
who cares… a young slugging 3b would be better than ellis hitting going forward

interesting idea
but buck has more upside than ellis… we are rebuilding right now… let’s be honest we aren’t going to make the playoffs… ellis is not in our long term plans so we should move him for a young 3b who can mash

I agree… we are screwed with chavy, murphy, or hannahan at 3b… we need to trade for a young 3b who can mash… let’s move ellis while he has value before he declines because he has value and we aren’t going to compete this year

I think we all loved Cust
Because of all the home runs he hit last year and still would like to see them but the fact of the matter is he looks like a single A hitter there who is lost and cannot even hit a fastball any more. If it was not for his walks, he would be gone already.
It would be great if he gets it together but it does not look good.
Street Was Pitching BUT:
Crosby “Bones”, gets the save.

He just called Crosby “Bones”, so sweet.

Good God almighty-- it's too early for a game like that
All i can say is that if they’re going to win when they get one hit after the first inning—and the opponent threatens in every inning from the 6th on, well maybe something special is going on here.
Brilliant strategy by street to walk Ichiro and take the bat out of Lopez’ hands—lol.
So.
What’d I miss?
The kings remain missing, so they're playing with Eric Chavez Bobbleheads. "Chavvy does have six Gold Gloves," Brown explained. "That's good enough to be king."
We won! That is all you need to worry about tonight.

I caught the bottom of the 9th on the radio.
I think Huston could hear me yelling at him.
The kings remain missing, so they're playing with Eric Chavez Bobbleheads. "Chavvy does have six Gold Gloves," Brown explained. "That's good enough to be king."
Huston didn't look bad
The only really bad pitch he made was the 3-2 changeup to Ichiro! that missed by a LOT.
Ok.
Since I didn’t actually see it, I’ll believe you. This time.
The kings remain missing, so they're playing with Eric Chavez Bobbleheads. "Chavvy does have six Gold Gloves," Brown explained. "That's good enough to be king."
he got helped by Seattle being dumb.
Lopez was 4-4 and hitting the ball well, and they asked him to sac bunt. He popped it up to Barton.
Then Ibanez hit a lazy fly ball to CF that Davis ran down with ease.
Beltre hit a solid grounder, but Crosby made a fantastic play to end it.
The only part I really had an issue with was giving Ichiro! second base, because it put a whole lot of pressure on Street that was unnecessary – Ichiro! scored from 2nd on a single, but not from first.
Please Don't Talk About Trading Ellis
I don’t care if the club is re-building. You got to keep one guy who’s worth buying the ticket for and that guy is Ellis. Having said that … the Giants could really, really use Ellis. With their starting pitching and Vizquel/Ellis up the middle…
This place never changes
What is it with the negativity with some of you people. This team has started a rebuilding year 15-9, we’re loaded with good young arms up and down the system, we have one of the best young catchers in the game, a stud CF maturing down in AAA and we got Frank back. Life is good. Try and enjoy it for a change.
Who was being negative?

Chavez is just going to come back and get hurt, Crosby still sucks, on and on
Oh. Good times so far but let's not get too extreme either way.
The offense appears to be somewhat questionable and the “D” is horrible. I’m very happy that we are winning but our “D” needs to improve before we can consider ourselves a contender.
With that said… 1st place, baby!

This doesn't really have anything to do with winning
I said this team would play around 500 ball and I still think that will be the case. The point is we’re rebuilding and doing a lot of good things in the process. I’ve seen both our A and AAA teams play this year and have no doubt this franchise is headed for it’s 3rd glory era. Just enjoy this season for what it is because there’s going to be plenty of high expectation seasons in the years to come.

This is really, really not true
Not true in a massive way.
It’s hard to measure how good one player on a defense is, but it’s trivially easy to measure how good a whole defense is. Just divide hits+errors by balls in play.
The A’s defense is very good. Most balls in play become outs. That’s all that counts, not how pretty you look doing it.
