Open Thread: Game 113 - A's at Blue Jays (cont)

PrintWe're going to the top of the eighth. The A's managed not score a single run with the bases loaded and no one out in the seventh, and the Jays managed to score another run on a thirty-five foot hit during their turn.
The score is now 5-1. I'm not sure anyone cares anymore.

are they actually good?
I’ve been meaning to try one.
What about Barry?
"Barry who?" Forst said, and I felt like I was in the middle of a knock-knock joke.
I dont know, I just really like the Bob Melvin commercial.

is that one of the A's as-yet-unsigned draftees?
There were a lot of stupid, long confusing words that I’m sure normal people don’t use. @('.')@

Do you really want Street to be given another save situation?! I just don't want
Gio to be given the loss.
any time he likes -- there's a bathroom just off the dugout
There were a lot of stupid, long confusing words that I’m sure normal people don’t use. @('.')@
Looks like he's really good at motivating his team
They are consistent in what they are doing.
I hate unproductive outs and the A's are producing them at record production
I think we care enough to note that it's 4-1 :)

It's five to one.
That last run scored.
So, bring on Bonds! Or, not... then, bring back Langerhans!! -One won lost one
ah. i was just following online, which sez it didn't. my bad

oh my....
Liked reading about Gio’d debut. And if I read it and recall correctly crosby homered thus saving his career in oakland no doubt.

I couldn't believe...
Croz only had 4 home runs up until this series. I actually caught the one he hit in the first inning in ATL. I suppose that might be worth something. The thing is obviously pretty rare.
What about Barry?

Why is ""shirt"" in quotation marks?

I wrote Sweeney on a piece of ducktape
and stuck it over the back of my Crosby shirt. Guess it only works if it’s the player’s real shirt.

Is it four or five?
The announcers and I had four, and then they corrected it to five, since the run scored before the third out?
So, bring on Bonds! Or, not... then, bring back Langerhans!! -One won lost one
Five.
The bases were loaded on the double play, so the guy on third scored, and McDonald was tagged out trying to score form 2nd during the rundown.

I didn't think I was crazy, but MLB and all the stats say 4.
I was pretty sure it was 5 though.

Manny Ramirez certainly made an average lineup look better
HR and an RBI single so far. Must be hitting near .800 in that sub-standard league
I hate unproductive outs and the A's are producing them at record production
It's because, despite being a muppet, he's a ridiculously good hitter.
One of the top ten right handed batters of all time – he’s in that discussion.
Like the A's can score 5 runs too
when was the last time we score more than 3 runs

Not to rub salt in the wounds, but...
have you guys seen the value we’ve been getting out of payroll. Our five highest paid players in order:
Chavy
Ellis
Crosby
Street
Embree
What about Barry?
"Barry who?" Forst said, and I felt like I was in the middle of a knock-knock joke.
Ellis gets too much hate
His defense is spectacular, and his bat is average. That’s better than a lot of 2B.

Even when we catch a break...
...we can’t catch a break.
You can't sit on a lead and run a few plays into the line and just kill the clock. You've got to throw the ball over the goddamn plate and give the other man his chance. That's why baseball is the greatest game of them all. ~Earl Weaver

It's kind of fun watching this Ranger's games on ESPN.
They keep showing shots of Art Howe and Washington in the dugout. It reminds me of the days when the A’s had an offense.
What about Barry?
"Barry who?" Forst said, and I felt like I was in the middle of a knock-knock joke.
We diehards
are still watching the A’s. Though we don’t know why.

I hate unproductive outs and the A's are producing them at record production
I wonder how many people who have season tickets actually show
up to watch the home games?
I would go to watch Duke or Gio if I lived up there but that’s it

they still have a few promotions left.

Kust.
Good job padding your stats there.

A's Highlights
Listen to that play where the Jays got one on the ground out to the second baseman (?) and see if there was anyway to know, based upon Controneo’s bored effort, what actually happened.
Not, of course, that it mattered once the A’s got down 3-0 in the first.
Check out ESPN.
Theres these two teams on there that hit something the announcers termed “line drives.” They look really exciting.
What about Barry?
"Barry who?" Forst said, and I felt like I was in the middle of a knock-knock joke.
I'm not really sure.
They are a lot like colors in that you have to see them to understand.

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
Thank you, Bobby Crosby.
No, that wasn’t sarcastic, that was sincere!

Boo there will be no silver lining
It was a pathetic loss by an offense that wouldnt win many Babe Ruth games and it sucked. No good can be or should be found in it.
To the loss tonight: “I blow my nose at you, I fart in your general direction, your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberries”
I'm starting think we should focus on the wild card

Showing the highlights of the season now
On a repeat of the All A’s show. Its depressing to see where we seemed to be headed and where we are now.
Stomper is a badass!
