Sure
I have a long rant and you open a new thread…

Looked like his was limping when he came around to score.

Get Ziggy up please
Need a DP or Ziggy needs to get up
wonder how rough it is
for Swish and Blanton to face each other in a tough situation like this
Let's have our Piazza and eat the Cust too - SPWC
Not baseball

Not at all.
I’m sure the winner will call the other tonight to punk him. Looks like Joe will be hitting the speed dial.

Nothing there to fight over.
You can probably have it if you ask nicely.

That was an amazing play by Donnie Murphy
And the usual brilliance of Ellis not to worry about turning two so he could show the ump he was on the bag.
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
Lots of gunfire here in Sarasota
this evening. I don’t remember the streets being this violent…

It just seems to be happening here today.
or should i say tonight…the gunfire didn’t really start happening until it got dark…

Has anyone seen Blanton?
The REAL Joe Blanton? Gotta hand it to him, gutted through a great lineup. Time to get Ziggy with it.

but I don’t like them.

SF Chron just referred
to Wes Bankston as “Scott Bankston” today.
Shades of “Dale” Barton??

Is there a pic of Banks' to add to the portfolio?

First RBI
Congrats. Ziggy, please read this tonite and pass it on (LOL)
Okay. This is why I avoid game threads....
I invariably end up losing track of the game. How did Emil Brown get on base? I looked up and saw him score and almost choked.

He hit a single.
Moved to second on the wild pitch. Third on the single by Cust.

This Bankston guy....
seems like he can play a little bit. Whatever happened to that Barton kid?

14 hits
Fireworks a little early…thanks boys. Signed Joe Blanton

Blevins is warming up
Ziggy was an inning ago along with Blevins
I drank to him
it was easier than standing.

This is going to sound weird...
but I have a giant mole/birth mark on my head in almost the same spot as Swooney. If my mother ever has to identify my body, that’s my only birth mark.

You're right
that sounds weird. Thank you for sharing.

If someone ever finds a head with
just a mole/birth mark visible, it’s either me or Swooney. And somene shaved my head.

If the corpse rips a single through Buehrle's legs,
I’m going to assume it’s Sweeney.

Hey, you're the one hitting on stuff
between Buehrle’s legs.

He earned his triple, double super duper cheeseburger with gallon buck of fries
tonight. We cannot say this very often.
I'm gonna go ahead and forgive Bankston.

Just in time for Barton to replace him at 1B.

Announcing that the Angels scored is a CGV
So is the Angels scoring, so I’m filing a complaint against Torii.

U better file another one
The Angels just scored again 2-0. 4 batters reach in a row
With Brad...
I can’t entirely see where the catcher catches the ball.

Now that Geren trusts Ziegler more than anybody else in the bullpen
I’m afraid that Ziegler is becoming Geren’s new target of abuse
Bye bye, heart of the order
Though I really don’t think Ziggy should be used in a 6-1 game – this would have been the time to test out Casilla.

whats been wrong with casilla as of late?
he was dominant in april-may.
I know he came back from an injury and and but his stuff sill looks good.
"Rebuilding? Hah!"
But then he'd also pitch against us :-(
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
I also wish he could pitch against the Angels for the opposing team
every game.
Use a magic wand to zap himself between ballparks. Better yet, Use a magic wand to Just kill the entire Angels team to save from pitching
I've been watching the league team ERA stats lately
And Anaheim has lowered their ERA from over 4 down to 3.76. This scares me if their offense ever heats up.
"Rebuilding? Hah!"
I am waiting for their Starters to implode
Because it is going to happen
so is my fantasy team.
He Oh-furred yesterday too.

speaking of fantasy
the “Beat the Streak” leader didn’t a hit from Ichiro Suzuki today, and the streak is snapped at 49
17 hits
We could have used half a dozen of them as anti Embree-Foulkes
hits wouldda been wasted in those two situations
Embree and Foluke wouldda given up as many runs as necessary to blow it.

What if we threatened to DFA them
Maybe they could just limit themselves to the runs that would have been on the board if we didn’t score extra?

LOL @ Colorado
They have scored at least once in the first 4 innings of the game and are losing by 8 runs
Did you mean to say GIDP?
He’s no machine at that, though

Alright, let's finish this up
Don’t want to see those ugly camo unis anymore
We've actually failed twice today
with a runner at third and nobody out. Oops.

and there was a band playing “Celebration”. It was a sign.

the A's need more quality preembreetive pitching
He's a very personable, sweet, nice chimp. He's not going to be aggressive unless he's provoked. @('.')@
Buehrle (6-7) is 3-11 against the A's in his career.
Guess the A’s own Buehrle. It would have been a lot worse for Buehrle if the A’s hadn’t stranded so many runners in scoring position. But a win is a win, and let’s hope the A’s go on the win, even sweep the series.
Apparently
The A’s AND the Rivercats own Buehrle.
