Open Thread: Game 4 - Seattle at A's (cont)

Despite going 0 for 4 with the bases loaded (yes, really), the A's broke through with two runs in the bottom of the sixth to inch closer. It's Seattle 5, A's 4, going to the seventh.

The A’s bring out the Wuertz of the bullpen.

Urban: Hold on. That cougar in the corner is TOTALLY checking me out. Should I send her a mimosa? Do I slip the wedding ring off and hope she doesn't see the tan line, or is she old enough to not care?

An interesting Shawn Kelley tidbit
I was working for the Vandy athletic department in 2007 and saw Kelley match David Price pitch for pitch in the first round of the NCAA regional in Nashville. The M’s have got a good arm and good kid in this one
are the A's going to hit a home run this year?
if so, I propose they get started this game. preferrably with runners on base.

This team reminds me a little of 89
The 89 team could never score with a lead off double. This team can’t score with the bases loaded. Sometimes weird things happen.

Not my impression at all.
Since I moved here in 2004, whenever M’s and A’s play I’m listening to M’s announcers, and in my experience — up to and including this game — they give Chavez his due.
Two years ago they said Beltre and Chavez were two of several who were about equally qualified for the GG … and they were right. Last year they said Beltre deserved it more … and they were right.
But they don’t trash Chavez.

how do you know? calm down and watch the games… im sure no one every thought we would win the series against the angels..
That will do it...
we should be 1-3 but ill take the 2-2 start so far. We need to start hitting when we have guys on base…
Yeah, leaving 14 runners on base is just absolutely terrible.

Is it too much to hope that
A) Felix has a shitty game and,
B) Outman pitches the opposite of last season for a game

I am hoping so
I will settle for Outman throwing a couple of scoreless innings to start.

Listening to Brett Anderson on Xtra innings
Very impressed with him.
Said he made one bad pitch.
He’s going to win his fair share.
Go A’s
He didn't say
He’s going to win his fair share. I did.
He knows deep down he is though.
