Open Game Thread - Game 99: A's @ Rays (cont)

Baseball_tiny by baseballgirl on

Same old story, same old song for the A's offense.

On the other side, Eveland was fine until the fourth, when he allowed two more runs (including a homerun that was crushed), but there doesn't seem to be a lot of difference between 1-0 or 3-0 (current score).

The offense can't get off the deck against Kazmir. At least he's supposed to shut people out.

We go to the fifth for another try.

Good times

Great game on both sides.

The fans were pretty chill, I was impressed

I’ve been to Yankees games before, so I should’ve known… but I was impressed anyways

BTW - God, do Yanks fans LOVE Joba or what?!?

I feel like I saw 1 Joba shirt for every 1 shirt of anyone else…

The Rays made a good deal getting him.

Why are any of us still watching?

I don’t see the appeal of this game. At least, not if you came to watch the A’s. There’s a good deal of appeal in the other dugout.

To start rooting for the fantasy squad I guess. I wonder if it’s that time for the whole season too.

Maybe the Red Sox will lose.

This is strategy. Help the Rays build an insurmountable division lead, then sneak up on the Red Sox and steal the wild card.
