PrintA's trail the Mariners 2-0 going to the top of the 6th. Maybe the A's can swing their axes and break through against Hernandez and/or the Mariner bullpen.

Hey everybody!
How are we doing against Felix?

Somebody better PBR me, ASAP.

Must. get. Jack. Cust. out. of left. field.
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."

good point
I need to do better prep. I’m always pulling the images together when the first thread’s hitting 375 comments.
And what did we do once we discovered a rift in the fourth dimension? We launched a monkey into it. @('.')@
jack futility cust
could possibly be the worst player in baseball right now. he strikes out almost half his ABs, terrible defensive liability…
Maybe a stretch
I think Royce Clayton still has a job somewhere.

He’s got to GO.
The Giants suck
WHY are they on my TV instead of the 1st place A’s?! Arrgh!
Oh… you already discussed this in the first thread? Sigh. Go A’s!

Seriously, I think our batters
are doing better today than they did on Friday.
The batters don’t look that bad to me, Felix is just dominating.
As opposed to Friday where the pitchers were lousy and sucked anyway.

If our hitters were good
Baek would have come in in the first inning with men on base and a 6-0 deficit. Batista didn’t have anything at all. The only out he earned was against Ellis. The rest we gave away.

True
The A’s never paste Batista, which bothers me to no end ‘cuz I think he’s a worthless slopballer.

Hmm
When he stops swinging at every first pitch, when he can play defense, when he doesnt do stupid things on the bases, when he can sustain an OBP over .315 (which is what it was before today).
Oh, and when he does all these things for more than 3-4 weeks.

Prolly not what you meant

K!
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."
What happened to "the 8th is Embree's inning"?
Not that I’m complaining.

1-2-3 inning so Street has to face their garbage hitters.
Eveland rocks! Eveland rocks! Somewhere Drew Carey just smiled.
Them not scoring in the 8th is good too!

How about the A's put up a 5 spot in the 9th
Just to make things a little more calm around here.

The whole thread was hurlin’ turds the whole game, and we were winning. The defense finally got to the Nation.
Always a safe bet.

Obvious statement
but Santiago Casilla is effin nasty this year.
"We were s--, pathetic," Guillen growled early in spring training. "We hit too many home runs."
LOL Casilla mad at himself for wasting a ball
To Wilkerson
I love that guy, he’s got fire and serious heat
I like Casilla because he's good at pitching

yeah, it's gotten worse over there
better when it was fewer people
The A's colors are green and gold.
that's probably the case with every blog
definitely true for AN, MCC, and LL.

This blog has less interesting creative posters now IMO.
As a non-creative type I admire those that are.
yes...
best to give Street as big a cushion as possible in a save situation.

Casilla was 94-95 last year
97-98 today. And his control is better!

Even the ones where he got out he worked it well.

I'd say it's Blanton.

For you techies out there, I have a question:
what program will play an m4a extension for a music file? somebody sent me a song with that extension and I can’t find a way to listen to it.
Well, he gave up 5 runs in his first 3 games of the year
And just 1 since.
I think it’s a situation where it’s not nearly as bad as it looks.

But they were respectable
unlike Zito’s first inning…
Zito couldn’t pitch well, and the position players didn’t do their thing.
Cust allowed the first run, no question, but our staff ACE showed his stuff!
Nice win for Blanton! That is a tough lineup, but he got outs when he needed to!

Zonis
That’s classic
You need to post that on the Mariners ESPN Board.
One of their idiot posters came over to our ESPN board and posted one of his comments for the second time this series. Both times his team lost
ah, that explains it
And what did we do once we discovered a rift in the fourth dimension? We launched a monkey into it. @('.')@
Anything happen in my absence?
Ah I see we scored four runs and Street closed out the win.
Glass full!!!
Best game of the season so far.
IMO.
What about Barry?
"Barry who?" Forst said, and I felt like I was in the middle of a knock-knock joke.
LL is hilarious
I should have opened both game threads in the 8th.

If it weren’t for Cust we would have been shut out.
Nice pitching, Joe.

I am impressed, over and over again,
by this team’s refusal to quit.
I can’t believe we won this game.

Player of the game
Big Joe Blanton. You earned it for pitching like an ace today and keeping us in it. Rock on dude.
Prince: This bores me. Is anyone up for a game of basketball?
God I just saw Zito's line today
3 innings and out..seven runs allowed in thr 1st inning alone..yikes! Poor bastard…sobbing all the way to the bank I guess. Nice come from behind win today by the boys in gng. This was a really an important win for the A’s because it accomplisehd two very important things: 1) They beat Felix Hernandez and proved that he is human. 2) They won a series from the M’s and proved that they will not start this season owning the A’s as they did last year. A really tough game and well deserved win. They never gave up and battled till they broke through on Hernandez and the M’s bullpen.
Way to go Blanton!!!
