Open Thread: Game 30 - A's at Angels (cont.)

As_kings_cal_tiny by louismg on

Given that every A's hit counts for $1 off Sunday plaza level tickets, or so the radio guys keep telling me, some of the A's players are trying to get us the opportunity to go for free! Not happy with the back and forth battle we've seen all game long, the A's have broken it open, racing to a 13-6 lead, with a 7-spot in the 5th.

And today's would-be goat Jack Cust is actually doing very well at the plate. Two hits, including a bomb to lead off the inning, and two walks... raising his batting average on the season to a sparkling .200.

Go A's!

Denorfia should go to LF

To win, we just need not to allow 8 more runs tonight.

Now for us to tack on another 8 in the next inning to celebrate the new thread.

I agree with Linux, but browsers are pretty neutral

I never liked IE, and as long as Firefox looks like it’s handling the heavy traffic, it is much preferred.
