Open Game Thread: Game 27 - A's at Anaheim (cont.)

A's up 6-2 going to the top of the seventh.  Weird strike zone tonight.  I don't even think the home plate ump can figure it out.

 

LET'S GO A'S!!!!!!

Especially if we add on, but even if we don't

I’d lift Chad after 6 innings (96 pitches). Let Brown, Devine, and Embree take us to the finish line, with Casilla and Street hopefully able to rest up for tomorrow.

Thanks! I haven’t been able to attend many game threads this year, and I don’t have graphics for everyone, but I’m working on it!

I've always been surprised

that a savvy group like AN hasn’t had more ace Photoshoppers. (Not that I would ever be one.)

Geren is an idiot

pinch running for Thomas when he’s an HR away from the cycle? Dipshit.

He's the DH...

I dunno, seems a bit early to take him out, with a cycle on the line too. Maybe I’m just paranoid, it’s the A’s afterall.

and "legged out" a triple

He’s running a lot better than he did in ‘06.
