He just lost Cain!

If you're reading this monkeyball,

I gave a nice L(n)OL (but still an “L”) to both the new threads, so kudos…

The A's colors are green and gold.

I had a third one set for 9:00 ...

Nico deprived you of actually Ling OL.

Is it prurient? I don’t know what to tell you. I think it’s odd and interesting. It’s part of life. @('.')@

With Bonds Gone ...

The Giants are actually a reasonably likable club. I’ve followed them closely this year. They’re very close to being a .500 club … but man their bullpen is just awful. Would be nice to see the A’s tack one on here. Bunt, please …

Poor Napoli

just got pinch hit for by Reggie Willits (he of the .180). I feel… happy.

Brown pinch-hit for Smith

and Smith was batting 1.000!!

Bunting in Sacramento

Is it against the law to teach how to bunt in Sacramento?

by solotar on Jun 14, 2008 8:11 PM PDT   0 recs

it used to be against the law to bunt in oakland

so I wouldn’t be surprised if the answer were YES.

by phastphill on Jun 14, 2008 8:12 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

That is not an example of why you bunt!!

I don’t care what the outcome was.

That was the right decision by Taschner, though

because Ellis was running. Catch = DP.

INSTANT REPLAY FOR BASEBALL!

by CrackBaby on Jun 14, 2008 8:16 PM PDT   0 recs

That's one of the worst base calls I've seen in a very, very long time

I know umpires can’t be punished for ineptitude, but that guy should spend about a year in A ball. That was truly terrible.

Not only did he miss the call, he was out of position and...

...put himself in the way of a possible throw by Vizquel.

uhh..

they’ve done that every single game this year.

by mikeA on Jun 14, 2008 8:19 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

they'd bring him in for defense anyway

might as well have him run (that is, assuming he doesn’t get picked off)

by phastphill on Jun 14, 2008 8:21 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

for defense afterwards

the opposition’s ABs will always be much higher leverage when the A’s are ahead.
