PrintSo it's 3-0 A's and it's the pen's game to win or lose at this point. It'd be nice to get Braden another win. Andrew Bailey is a stud. Enough said.
LET'S GO A'S!!!!!!

Gah, why did it take me that long.
Maybe they should face off Thunderdome-style. Two cute brunettes eneter, one cute, albeit worse for wear, brunette leaves…
I'm liking that.
And that Weeds role makes MLP that much more sexy.

In the Thunderdome, MLP from Weeds would have to square off against stripper Marissa from the Wrestler.
It’s only fair.

Please do not throw that kinda junk up there
or 3 runs, now 2 will not be enough
I've been napping through most of the game
But from what I’ve heard about the announcers, I really hate them. On MLB.tv, I’m forced to listen to the Rangers announcers and they seriously are terrible. It sounds like they know nothing about baseball.
They went of on a Lost spiel and started referring to Buck as Sawyer from the show. They’ve made fun of fans and players and said things like “For realz,” and all I could think of is, “These are the best announcers Major League Baseball can find? For realz?”
I've heard the ones the Nationals have
Trust me, those guys are awful. They bitch and moan about calls like they broadcast for the best team in history and are entitled to everything going their way.
Last of the Ninth - Photography Site / jamesvenes.com - Blog
i think the white sox clowns are the worst
that “you can put it on the board” thing they do is god awful
You have to forgive them a little
They’re not used to many games that actually involve good pitching, fundamentals and so on. They watch video game baseball most of the time so their knowledge is more limited to stuff like “Wow, he hit that one far.”

Well, Andruw Jones seems to have paid off big for Texas (not so much for the Dodgers)
but then again, I do not think Jones would have done anything if we had gotten him. Texas supposedly has a great Hitting Coach.
Can we poach him? Or do we just really need to change our offensive philosophy?

Holliday homers, A's win!
Let’s see Holliday slug one in a Non-hitters park now.
Bobby Crosby = ground-out triple play...
Even after we already struck out blalock?
We’re awesome.

That was a lot of fun.
Game threads really make games like this much more fun.

What you fail to understand in your joyless myopia is that baseball is the key to life-- the Rosetta Stone, if you will. If you just understood baseball better all your other questions your, your... the, uh... the aliens, the conspiracies they would all, in their way be answered by the baseball gods.

I'm interested to see how we stack up against Seattle this weekend
We need to get them back for sweeping us at our place earlier.
I wish I could go in person…too much to do.

good bye month of april!
here’s hoping this will be like successful years past when we sucked in the month of april…
And reeled off 20 wins in a row in the heat of summer...

Sweet, the game archive just went live on MLB
Starting to re-live it all now. My work day was shot already anyhow.
WTF AN
Matt Holliday finally hits a homerun and NONE OF YOU TEXT ME??!!!
Wes7 gets an honorary mention but it was way after the fact.
So disappointed.
Nico: Okay. We have twelve hours to make a really big pickle.
Sorry.
