PrintThe A's were the A's for a little bit there. We go to the ninth inning, the A's CLINGING to a 1 run lead. 7-6.

Why did Hannahan even bother to bat
instead of forfeiting the at bat?
Roomy...
And, yet, no room for error.

if it was at the coli. it would be
“cow bell, cow bell, cow bell”

Just because it's too strange to get lost at the end of a thread...
I forgot the weirdest part of Monday’s game.
They have a find the cow thing they do with Chik Fil-A at The Trop. They have a Stomper-like cow that goes around. Anyhow, long about the sixth inning or so, the cow goes down behind where the A’s bullpen is and literally has like a ten minute conversation with one of the bullpen guys.

That could explain the cow pies that Wuertz, Springer, and Casilla left out there on the mound.

Does everyone get a Cow-Bell?
I remember when Kings fans had them, but come on.

They gave them away about twice a week

I am of course hoping for a 1-2-3 inning but I highly doubt it.

Geren's counting bases...
…so he knows how many more walks they can give up before letting a run in.

God Damnit
do we have any pitchers who know how to get a 1-2-3
Now a Lefty hitter coming up
Why is ziggy our closer?
he’s just a younger chad bradford who had a hot streak to begin his career…
If you had a lineup of 9 Jack Custs who hit(Cust career average) .239 AVG, .382 OBP, and .475 SLG, then your team would score 6.12 runs per game-totalling to 991runs a season.The 08 rangers lead the majors in runs score with 901.
Because Devine is out for the year.

It's amazing
that something as unimportant and inconsequential as the 9th inning of this game can cause me this much distress.
I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to, too.

you only need to score one more than your opponent. :)

Great Sweeeny
Amazing catch to bail out our currently pathetic Pen.
take a win anyway we can get it.

Late break on a ball going into the left-center gap
It looked like he had no chance whatsoever, but the ball didn’t slice too much, he got on his horse, and he took a very low dive at the very last second to snag the ball about 2 inches from the ground.
Awesome stuff.
You know what time it is!
V is for Victory, that’s good enough for me

It was one of those flash to the point of contact off the bat
so they didn’t have to show any extra seconds. Then onto the Yankees for a ton of details.

Excellent question
Google search tells me the Rays blocked him from playing to prevent injury.
I’m terrible at this sort of thing, but is that irony?
I cannot tell a lie.
The word “irony” is difficult for me to translate at times.
