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

Baseball_tiny by baseballgirl on Comment 127 comments

We'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?

is that one of the A's as-yet-unsigned draftees?

Looks like he's really good at motivating his team

They are consistent in what they are doing.

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?

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

by baseballgirl on Aug 6, 2008 6:04 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

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

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.

by OldhamA on Aug 6, 2008 6:08 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Yep

He would make even our lineup that much better and that’s saying something

Ellis gets too much hate

His defense is spectacular, and his bat is average. That’s better than a lot of 2B.

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.

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.

Theres these two teams on there that hit something the announcers termed “line drives.” They look really exciting.

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.
