Whatever happened to the pitching-dominant league?
This Marlins teams reminds me of our 1999 team.
Or their 2003 team. They swept us when they were still a sub-.500 team.

That was a different sort of team
This one is young and is geared up to kill the ball.
There is good news
Suzuki could possible hit for the cycle
I'd hate to play against the Marlins
In the World Series.

is it possile...
“to have two bLown saves for the same game?????...ugh!!!!”
Ellis walk-off...
...I feel it.
You can't sit on a lead and run a few plays into the line and just kill the clock. You've got to throw the ball over the goddamn plate and give the other man his chance. That's why baseball is the greatest game of them all. ~Earl Weaver
Sweeney might extend his hitting streak
I think that was what Street was after. Extra innings, to get Sweeney a final AB.

Extra innings.

I was in such a good mood. Took off early on a beautiful
Friday afternoon with perfect weather. Grilled out with some friends and went to see The Love Guru. Came here and saw us lead, then lose the lead, then regain the lead only to lose it again. What a long, short night!

It was funny only because I love Mike Myers. He is one of three people
that I look at and start laughing- John Belushi, Mike Myers, Will Ferrell and Steve Martin. It will get better seeing it several times.

You hate to go extras against a team
that scores so easily. On the other hand, you love to think that worst case scenario is sending up a bunch of lefties to face Kevin Gregg.

There are mosquitoes in my room
I was given to understand there would be no mosquitoes on this side of the Hayward Fault. Unfair!
Don't blame me, I voted for Ice Cream
Now there's an idea
And as soon as I typed “this side of the Hayward Fault” I realized I didn’t know which side of it I was on since my move. So I consulted the ABAG maps—and in fact I am on the east side of the fault by about a block.

No doubt
His lack of command scares me. As does Foulke’s tendency to throw strikes.

For those of us just checking back in...
What happened with Casilla tonight? How’d he look? Jeez, couldn’t record an out…
His body language wasn't great
Probably still conscious of the elbow, which makes sense.

Awful
It was his first night back, but he was grooving everything and being hit hard.
I thought he looked fine
He looked better than:
Foulke
Street &
Brown
The A's colors are green and gold.
Pessimistic view of the 10th:
single, walk, 6-4-3, pop out.

According to Gameday
The pitch was belt high over the fat part of the plate, so it isn’t like we weren’t trying
Dodged a bullet with that one
With a 2-0 count, I would have walked him.
A Minor victory
as long as we get the next out
Yes it is now 1:35 am here in Atlanta...

Why so many throws to first
Who does Andrew Brown think he is? Greg Smith? I’m pretty sure Uggla’s not taking off anytime soon…
I think it was a good move.

Hope we score now
Otherwise, I assume it’s Gaudin’s game.
Nice job, but Brown should consider
throwing a first pitch strike sometime.

Too predictable. They always look for that
He’s much better off hoping Uggla will miss the meatball this time.
Or even the second pitch strike after the ineviable first ball....
The A's colors are green and gold.
but he had all those RBI's for Texas.....
What about ….the heck with it….lets just promote young guys…
WTF....I'll take it!!

So here's the new game plan:
The opposition drops whatever Chavez hits.
Suzuki drives in whoever’s left on base.
Got it?
"God doesn't pay attention to your cute little hypotheticals." -- Jeff from LL
Got it - wait, let me go over it one more time
Street blows the lead…
I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal
Like this:
Pitcher street = Pitcher.new();
Hitter chavez = Hitter.new();
Hitter suzuki = Hitter.new();
Team opposition = Team.new();
Array runners = Array.new();
while (!throwing_up) {
street.blow(lead);
opposition.drop(chavez.popfly(), runners);
for (int i = 0; i < runners.length(); i++) {
suzuki.drive_in(runners[i]);
}
}
"God doesn't pay attention to your cute little hypotheticals." -- Jeff from LL
Yeh yeh we get the opposition screws up
but what’s step 2
See what happens
when you let suzuki rest

But he wouldn't have had to
since he would have terrified the Marlins with his gritty presence behind the plate and they never would have scored at all.
