It's an interpretive thread

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.

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.

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

who did Rajai pinch hit for?

with all those walks I got a little lost on the lineup

by OaklandSi on Sep 5, 2008 6:42 PM PDT   0 recs

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.

Truly Bizarre.

Foulke is quite capable of giving them all back.

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.

Oh no. That looked painful.

Bad plan, shoulda just taken the single.

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.

ahhhhhh

That made my neck hurt just reading it. < shudder >
