PrintBaseballgirl will be back with the recap around 10:30pm, but just to give you a fresh thread until the real one, here's a "victory lap, sweeeeeeep style!" thread following the A's 7-2 win over the Royals, fueled by Josh Outman's 6+ solid innings of 3 hit, 1 run ball, and a 5-run bottom of the 7th capped off by Jack Cust's bases clearing double.

Dear FP
Nobody cares about your injury.

I cared
It game me more reason to despise his telecasting

That doesn’t really count.

How many did the Royals take from us?
That’s right. Zero. They didn’t get diddly. That’s a sweep.

YOU WANNA FIGHT ABOUT IT?
Or, I dunno, other stuff?
"I’m Joey Devine, I’m what Joba Chamberlain would be if he was good and nobody had ever heard of him."
What, you wanna piece too?
Bring it on.
"I’m Joey Devine, I’m what Joba Chamberlain would be if he was good and nobody had ever heard of him."
You don't have $39.99 I can spare, do ya?
"I’m Joey Devine, I’m what Joba Chamberlain would be if he was good and nobody had ever heard of him."
What?
This is going to be pay per view?

Don't resist.
"I’m Joey Devine, I’m what Joba Chamberlain would be if he was good and nobody had ever heard of him."
I do my best.
I’m elusive though. Hard to tackle.
"I’m Joey Devine, I’m what Joba Chamberlain would be if he was good and nobody had ever heard of him."
awww.
Wait. Was that an insult?
"I’m Joey Devine, I’m what Joba Chamberlain would be if he was good and nobody had ever heard of him."
You expected less?
"I’m Joey Devine, I’m what Joba Chamberlain would be if he was good and nobody had ever heard of him."
Thanks, pamcakes.
You never fail to deliver.
"I’m Joey Devine, I’m what Joba Chamberlain would be if he was good and nobody had ever heard of him."
I'm not sure how I feel about this whole "pamcakes" thing.
Nico: Okay. We have twelve hours to make a really big pickle.
you started it.
"I’m Joey Devine, I’m what Joba Chamberlain would be if he was good and nobody had ever heard of him."
Look... where, exactly?
"I’m Joey Devine, I’m what Joba Chamberlain would be if he was good and nobody had ever heard of him."
humor me.
"I’m Joey Devine, I’m what Joba Chamberlain would be if he was good and nobody had ever heard of him."
Depends who's doing the tackling.

when they got to the 6th down 1-0
and I realized that Crosby, Cabrera and Suzuki were due up, all of a sudden I just knew something good would happen. And in the 7th once they began to threaten those old fears of RISP failure went right out the window. And we do have a really good pitching staff, even in its very young and incomplete form. Things have really changed since Cabrera called that meeting— looks like a ball team now.

Do us all a favor and show Vince the door.

I'd rather a plate of Saag's call the game
to that Steve dude. C’mon.

Agree that Steve > Vince
though admittedly it’s not saying a whole lot

Josh Outman is a beast...
who apparently has too straight a fastball to be a successful starter. I say psssht.

We are 2-for-2 when there are mentions of Lexi on open threads! “Lexi, Raj wants you!” mojo is in full effect!

Just got back from the sweep
and this one was very sweet indeed. Outman was very economical and mostly quite sharp. Bannister was very good too — I’m not sure what was wrong with him, that they had to take him out, but I certainly wasn’t sorry to see other pitchers, and neither were the A’s. They did seem to be honing in on Bannister when they saw him for the third time.
oh by the way
last night on the BART platform — after the A’s stomped the Royals 12-3, a couple of Royals fans actually were crowing at the A’s fans “where are you in the standings?” I of course answered, “and where are the Royals? Won’t last.”
Ruh-roh
I go away to Oregon on vacation and the A’s sweep. I officially can’t come back to the bay area.
I'm staying about 2 1/2 blocks from there right now.
I’ll be sure to check it out. Will I know which are yours?

You need to put that on your business cards.
Nico: Okay. We have twelve hours to make a really big pickle.
Yeah, but IdolBot stayed. And Danny's gone. :(
Nico: Okay. We have twelve hours to make a really big pickle.
Eh. Danny lost my allegiance several weeks ago.
I don’t really like Adam, but the rest of the world apparently does, so whatever.
