Thanks, Geren

For ruining my night once again.

No reason why Cust doesn’t pinch hit for Brown. Anybody who didn’t see Brown swinging at sliders nowhere near the strike zone is an idiot. K-Rod CANT THROW BREAKING BALLS FOR STRIKES!

Ugh. It makes me sick to see Geren in an A’s uniform sometimes.

And no, this isn’t second guessing. This thread just took forever to load.

Man on first, no out

He was bunting for a hit up the first base line. He hit it too hard and popped it up a bit. Scorer gave him a sac bunt for it.

First baseman has to hold the runner,

he tried to bunt for a hit down the 1B line.
