It's not a jinx unless

exact words and punctuation match. Harder to do, but not impossible.

Someone give Ellis a day off

Again and I repeat again, he destroys any chance of a rally

Thanks Geren also for not being smart enough to see the guy is not getting the job done. A bunt would have been better, he may have beaten it out

In 1968

there is no way a guy who had given up only 1 run and struck out 10 through 6 innings would have come out. He’d throw a 160-pitch complete game.

Things could be worse. Suppose your errors were counted and published every day, like those of a baseball player.

I think this kind of cements it

when Harden comes back, Eveland will be most likely the one who either goes down or goes to the pen.

2nd time

PR for Thomas after he gets an X-base hit, and is then followed by an HR. Waste of PR. I’m starting to think it might be worth leaving Thomas on the bases… He really is running much better than in ‘06… and is still faster than Piazza on Mike’s best day in ‘07. (other opinions?)

Now since the A's scored the runs

in the bottom half of the inning that Smith came out, does he still get the win? or is i whichever moron pitches the 8th gets the win (assuming we hold lead)
