Email

I totally agree
Some amazing wins by a team that is not loaded with great hitting talent.
There is something there that makes me feel that its our chance to have a great year.
The heart that I see is the main reason I don’t want the GM to dump all of the good players
HE JUST MAXIMIZED HIS TRADE VALUE, BAY-0BEEEE!

Emergency conference call that lasted all of fifteen minutes (and was pucking lame) forced me to sell my ticket to this game. Still have never seen a walkoff of any kind. With that said, NINE games above .500? This team? Pucking unreal!

Didn't the Dodgers hit like 3 in a row toward the end of last season
and then a 4th one to win it in extras?

It's almost as if Billy Beane channeled
some borrowed Unicorn Magic Power and decided to leave Murton at AAA for a couple days so we could have this win.

Or some such. You got to hand it to these guys—every time you think they’ll go down for the count—Blanton blows game after KRod gives us opportunity to slash lead followed by moribund offensive performance surely leading to bad series this weekend—they rise up. Maybe they’ll sweep the Halos and give us 3 days to lick our lips about the 2nd half
Wow - Emil's HR gave us a great chance!
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
Cust's HR: totally insignificant, probabilistically
... arousing men to burst the chains under which monkeyish ignorance and superstition had persuaded them to bind themselves ... @('.')@
Not even
It tripled our chance of winning, from 7% to 21% (or something like that.)
Nah, looks like it helped quite a bit.
But apparently being down 2-0 with no outs in the bottom of the 9th is probablistically equivalent to being down 2-1 with two outs in the bottom of the 9th.
Technology is so cool. I am at work but logged on
to Directv.com and scheduled my DVR to record the game in the 8th. I can’t wait to get home and actually watch it.

(i don’t know which is my fav. home run of the week…
a) Suzuki ties the game
b) Emil wins the game
c) Hamilton ends FRods smug ass smile for one game at least
I think i have to say c)
by TheGreenGoldCrush on Jul 10, 2008 4:12 PM PDT reply actions
yeeah b is great choice, but when FRod was almost crying leaving the field instead of praying to god,
that was great. I watched it over and over on mlb.com today

Really? For me it's "a"
Without Emil’s HR we may win, may lose. Without Zook’s HR we lose.

and now he has 4 on the year, couldn’t of expected that from a catcher in an A’s uni ph in the 9th. All three were great.
