I bet this game would be way more enjoyable

if I had taken Vicodin instead of Advil.

No reason you can't take both

When you have a chance to get a guy like Sean Gallagher, you take it!

Yay Carlos!

I predict one run in this inning

Strange.

My god, Hannahan

Watch the meatball down the pipe, and swing at the slider in your eyes? That’s why you’re not good.

Game threads are loaded with sarcasm I realize

But doesn’t anyone else thing Braden is throwing pretty well. He’s getting squeezed a bit by the ump, still he’s making a lot of good pitchers.

Oh, and we just homered, so I’m guessing things will get more positive.

by RLangford on Jul 22, 2008 5:19 PM PDT reply reply   0 recs

He's throwing many, many balls and getting lucky.

But Barry Zito did that his whole career in Oakland, so maybe he can ride it out for a while.

It's a thing we do here

to make fun of ESPN’s mispronunciations during the opening series vs. the Red Sox in Japan.

Hannahan, to whom they referred as Hanrahan, hit a HR during that series, which caused MikeA to comment that you can’t spell Hanrahan without an HR.

The moment’s gone now. Thanks.
