YEA!!

Man, Chavez missed a home run by literally about six inches. He was going for the exact same spot Jason Kendall hit his home run.

C’mon!

You can quibble with Foulke, but it’s not as if there is a “Duh” choice right now for set-up, and just about every reliever Geren threw out there messed up so what are you going to do. At least he left Ziggy in to keep the ball in the park in the 6th, got Casilla out and Embree in before it got worse, and got Street in with a chance to save it. Plus letting Zooks swing there was smart.

BTW, Georgia Boy, Suzuki did not have a double tonight – should have, but didn’t. 3 singles and a HR.

who could.

That ball was fucking obliterated. Wow.

( just mesmerized my Sham-wow commercial)

Is he the new Scutaru?

Yay Patrol Craft!

Fuck Street. Dump that guy!

for picking up the continued game thread, and for your great insights in the threads. I always appreciate your game insights – I feel like I’m there.

It scares me. What happened to Jaymee Sire?

He had the best game he may ever have in his career.

and let me say again, “Thank you, Mr. Ken Korach for your unparalelled awesomeness. I count my blessings, so to speak, whenever I listen to him on the radio. We as A’s fans are very lucky to have him.

Wow, what a rollercoaster! Zooks is amazing. So was Brown, Ziggy, Embree, Cargon, Chavy, wow. Everybody. Ok, except for Street. Casilla will come around. He was pumped on his first game back. Sweeney is amazing too. This is a special team. See you all tomorrow!

As a guy who used to have you on my fantasy team, you’ve done your former fantasy team owner proud!

(big deal for this NRAF to see the A’s win in Oakland)—exciting game. Funniest part was Uggla’s 2nd HR, which the fan who caught it threw back on the field. Security threw him out and the LF bleacher crew shouted in unison at this middle-aged white dude in sunglasses, “SNITCH! Get the snitch in the sunglasses!” Funny because this poor (innocent) guy was half-way across the outfield from the bleacherites, and my dear wife thought they were yelling at her.

they said that the Yankees infield make $5 million more than the A’s and Marlins combined.
Yet all three teams have similar record this year.

but it was really late and I was really sleepy, so when it went to extra innings I turned off the computer and went to bed. It was nice to wake up to ESPN showing Luis Gonzo missing Chavez’ fly ball and then Suzuki’s walk off hit.

One time I even saw him hit one over the wall.. This is a troubling trend..

stats. I don’t see any reason Carlos needs to go down. He is not hitting like Jay Bruce was, but he’s proved he belongs.

It was his only hit. Gonzalez is hitting .243/.274/.414 in 70 at-bats since being called up. The A’s would probably be better off with Travis Buck in their outfield, but it’s likely that they’ll stick with Gonzalez through the All-Star break anyway.

Okay, the warm night at the Coliseum was surprising but nice - until the gnats descended on us in the 6th or 7th or whenever that was. We were sitting in the LF bleachers and all of a sudden the gnats were all over the place… it was definitely entertaining to watch everyone do a little get-rid-of-bugs dance. Add that to the bleacher people yelling for Dibs in the first couple innings, and the hunt for the snitch in the 9th, and being only a few seats away from Suzuki’s homer - sitting in the bleachers is always an experience. (Could’ve done without the extra innings, though, Huston. A nice 4-out save would’ve been fine.)

Just remembered he’s a Hawaiian. Maybe the hot weather gave him a lift last night.
