Good for him. He's definitely improved.
Hard not to, though.

That's definitely a Rajai Davis Special

rajai grand slam denied by the human umpires.

Rajai loves REPLAY!
Thankfully I turned off Michael Moore to see it!
Looking forward to Spring Training and the hope of another World Series title.

Why couldn't I have any of this hawt BB action in KC?
But he came back. And there was much rejoicing.
This game will be a case study
concerning when pathetic offense and incompetent pitching collide.

8 runs, 1 hit so far
And a Grand Slam in the same inning Davis came in to pinch run.

This game defies description to such an extent....
that the a’s may actually get air time on espn.

This is the kind of inning they'd show every walk of.

What the hell
I flipped the channel for a second and thought all you guys were joking.
BOMB SHELTER GS?!!!?
Unpossible.
korach speculates that could be the first time a pinch runner hit a grand slam in the same inning.
your 2008 a’s, breaking all the really obscure records.

jason stark is going to have a ball (or four) writing about this

I love it - we can't score seven runs in a game
for 40 games, and then we score 8 in one inning. On one hit, of course.
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

Truly Bizarre.
Foulke is quite capable of giving them all back.

Hopefully, there won’t be a plague of boils on the next homestand.

You're so very young.....

No. I hate when the A's hit grand slams. Runs suck.

This is the most ridiculous game EVER.
And of course my browser froze during Emil’s at-bat. Can’t handle this many runs.
Grand slam madness!!!!!!!!111

I like my Sweeneys younger, hotter, blonder, and taller.
But he came back. And there was much rejoicing.
I remember the time a few years ago...
when my dad tried to do a flip on our trampoline and broke his neck. This is a similar situation.
But he came back. And there was much rejoicing.
Did Old Sweeney just try to kill himself on that slide?

Oh, I just died at 2nd base tonight

Dozens of o's fans left in the stands.
They may actually be more pathetic than us.

Think if you were drinking a beer per run
it would probably say, “thidnbfdsnsggklngrun”
I'm here to talk about the past.
What

Fark
Why is Ziggy pitching now?

He sat in the stands for at least 30 minutes before Tuesday's game.
But he came back. And there was much rejoicing.
My first miss of a KC/Oak series in 20 years.
Couldn’t be happier :-(

We had our ownership group in town so I couldn't make it.
I’m just lying to myself by saying that it was a good thing to miss the A’s. Shit. Growing up sucks!!

I don't even care they lost.
I had so much fun. Always do, no matter what I say.
Me to my boss: Something came up, I need to leave early.
But he came back. And there was much rejoicing.
I'm sincerely happy that someone could enjoy the A's.
Glad you made it, Superfan.

I tried to find you on TV but didn't watch the day game.
I can’t wait for ’09. A new beginning will be a really good thing.

There were lots of empty seats.
I moved around a lot.
But he came back. And there was much rejoicing.
Almost gave up a bomb there

Anybody see the huge wad of gum the 1B ump spit out there?
Just after calling the last out.
Ewwww

Yay!!
What fun times. I have to imagine the pinch run grand slam is a record of some sort.
Look at that, he hit the f*cking bull! Guy gets a free steak!
Duke officially shut down for rest of season.
Eveland rocks! Eveland rocks! Somewhere Drew Carey just smiled.
and here i was excited that i would see him tomorrow,
i hate my luck
ken korach's voice is like peanut butter on velvet, not joe buck's.
Yea, the A's purchased the contract of some 27 year old scrub from Sacramento.
Most likely will be used for mop up work and soon after DFA.

None of the above
“A’s leading.” Must’ve made him dizzy.

Unrelated and random note of the night
It still hurts to watch Haren pitch for a different team.
Damn ESPN.
Ryan Sweeney: I probably irrationally embraced him before you did.
Hey, stop killing my buzz!
I’m sitting here listening to Swooney’s batting music on repeat and thinking about 11 runs… wooo… that number is so biiig… woooo!
Yeah
I tuned in just in time to watch Haren give up a HR to Ethier
