"Game continues" gives away too much
How about “Game may or may not continue, depending on weather and other factors.”

I try to be as vague as possible.

Richie Sexon
You think with all the hitting woes the A’s have, they can help him Bring Sexon Back?
All Games and Comments are Subject to Blackout
we already have
one first basemen who can’t field in frank
one first basemen who can’t hit in barton
and one who can’t walk in mike sweeney
we also already have a bunch of guys who can’t hit, so why would we need sexson
Last minute go-ahead by the Titans
our Starters whooped their starters, though

Question: If the White Sox steal
when the A’s are down 3-0, is it considered “running up the score”?

I think anything that contributes to our loss
is considered running up the score.

So, the A's showing up to play the game counts too?

Yay, runs!

I was going to say, I think Cust is getting hot again
He’s been right on everything every AB.

I don't wanna jinx us BUT
we could actually gain a game on everyone in the West today IF, we pulled
this out.
Man, take away the 1st and Dallas actually looks really good 2nite
Except for talking to himself, whats up w/that?
Since I missed the first game thread, just how worried were you guys in the 1st and Braden on the mound?
Proud mommy of "mini-kapers"
take away the Little Big Horn...
and Custer was pretty much unbeatable…
LOL Mariano Rivera has an ERA of 1.70 and now 5 losses
I hate unproductive outs and the A's are producing them at record production
That's an unconventional way to get a CS

Just your basic pickoff.

I was confused initially because the catcher
was facing the right way, blocking home plate, catching the ball, and tagging the runner.

No wonder that guy couldn't pitch

Watching WGN with the sound turned off
and the closed captioning on…..so I don’t know which one of them just said “I am going to state the obvious. There is absolutely no reason to throw that pitch.”
They left out the "er" at the end

Is this our So-Cal AN day?
An A’s game on tv and not having to listen to Angel announcers?
Which is more shocking?
Back after 10 minutes away and the A’s tie the game … and bring in Huston Street?!?!
Credit to Ramirez for keeping that one going

OMG. GO HUSTON.

There's about 250 of them at the game tonight

Don't worry the lowest two BA avg.'s in the AL will get it done!
Count on that!!
Beating LAA or wherever the fu*k they are, Priceless!
Street threw one two-seam fastball
that had terrific movement back over the inside corner. If he can throw that pitch, he can live at 90MPH just fine. 93MPH is ok too. :-)

That worked too
Now let’s make it really work by at least getting it to the outfield.

Closed captioners just said that
“Kurt Accuse Sir” was coming in as a pinch hitter. Hawk must really be a challenge for them to transcribe on the fly.
For whatever reason, Barton is one of the A's best bunters
His form is usually textbook perfect.
Regarding Ozzie’s managing, isn’t bringing in Horatio Ramirez always a bad move? Even if you’re out of pitchers?

+1... if it was intentional, that was downright classless.
If you don’t want to face him, I-walk him.
I see the future. I see cake.
Winner. A's improve to .500!

What a great way to win a game.
"I'm telling you, I can't wait to put on that white uniform," Gonzalez said. "That will be the prettiest uniform I'll ever see."
The nice thing about that is one way or another it was deep enough for a sac fly, so the bunt was a good move ;-)

i think when zook hit it
he was expecting sac fly. when he looked at the ball in flight, i’m sure he was thinking “OMFG”

Kudos to Bob Geren tonight
Because he managed the 9th inning perfectly. And I’m not just saying that because it worked. In an IM conversation I said how DFA for Miley was a good move, pinch running for DFA was something you had to do (then he did it). Barton bunting was the right call, and while I wish Suzuki could get a day off once in a while, one at bat isn’t going to hurt matters any.
He made the right call in every situation and they all worked. Good for him.

Especially love the flip of the bat!
Thank God! The A’s really needed a game like this. Man, sure feels good to me, too.
You heard it here first: The A's are going to get hot (finally)

This is like the second time in a couple of days that the A’s score 6 runs. Overwhelming.

vote for the reason there is no post-game wrap...
1. NSJ went comatose after seeing the A’s comeback win;
2. A small asteroid hit NSJ’s house;
3. NSJ fell asleep watching the A’s;
4. All of the above.

it's Cust's fault
AN is equipped with an alarm system to wake mods up whenever Cust strikes out — we figured that should have been enough to keep us on our toes to post 1-2 extra game threads plus the game wrap every day.

That and it knocks everyone out when he homers twice in the same game, right?
