epic meltdown

first first first.

When the A's clinched the West against the seattle mariners (at home) the players rush the mound. If you look closely you can see a yellow frisbee that I threw from the 3rd deck and landed it 10 feet from the players.

What a joke

Ziggy should have stayed in
Murphy shouldn’t have thrown that ball
Barton shouldn’t have double clutched
Suzuki still can’t block the plate

Pathetic.

Wow....

Two weak rollers, one bloop, and one sac fly leads to two runs. That’s lucky crap. How on earth do the Angels keep winning like this?

I’m getting sick of losing to these asshats. Here’s hoping it doesn’t happen again today.

Before Eckerseley and LaRussa, NOBODY hung with ONE CLOSER.

Eckerseley was extraordinary. But teams that have “no Eckerseley” in his prime, ought to mix it up.

What was that 2 infield hits?

That’s why you need your hitters to put up more than 3 runs a game.

because there will always be bad luck runs scored against you.

Okay. Let's do this.
