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

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 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.

Chavy
Ellis
Crosby

Embree

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.
