I’m confused by what’s happening on my television, can someone explain it to me?

by justarebelheart on Aug 8, 2008 5:24 PM PDT   0 recs

A's fans are collectively hallucinating

That’s the only explanation.

Well, thankfully Bobby has kept his head....

and delivered what we’ve come to expect.

Bobby never lets us down at least when he’s not pretending he can hit

Too bad we score runs when Braden is pitching

If only we could score like 4 runs when Duke is pitching, we might get a win!

Oh wait.

Believe it or not, that inning is exactly why the A's suck

If you saw the base hit by Raj Davis, a runner should be send and should score from second without a throw (and Ordonez was just lobbing it into the cutoff man), then Hannahan just needed to bounce one to second, and Crosby also failed to get a 4th run home.

I’m glad for the 3 runs but that was an inning full of bad baseball.

I thought we sucked because we can't hit or pitch

No, we can pitch,

we just can’t hit.

You'd think so.

They couldn't send him on Ellis' hit or Crosby's pop fly

Then what's the use of having a pinch runner who does nothing else?

There ain't no one fast enough to score on those

And give the guy a break – he got the two-run single!

I hate Kenny Rogers. I’d love to see the A’s make him look worse than he can normally do on his own.
