i don't care if the A's don't come back
HELMET: Sandurz, what's going on?
SANDURZ: It's Mega Maid. She's gone from suck to

we out scored them 1-0 in the last thread
now if we can out score them 5-0 in this one we win!

So I need an update…have things been bad, unlucky or both? And I just mean tonight that is.
Not just athletes, Athletics.
Both
Cheap bunt got the runs started, but Anderson wasn’t really on in one inning

My 2nd favorite part about something great happening for the A’s is the instant influx of posts here. Of course my favorite part is something great happened for the A’s.

Influx! Incoming influx!
I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal
We are in Brian Fuentes territory
Of course we may score more and be in who the hell is going to close for us territory
At this pace, we’ll get one in the eighth and one in the ninth.

If Holliday doesn't get on base
on the next at bat, I feel he’s gonna receive some Crosby 08 love for the rest of the season
Clear its radiance shine...
Maybe he should take some swinging lessons from Crosby?
Crosby’s been a lot hotter than him as of late! (on a relative scale, of course…)

Gallagher's been doing exactly what I've been pleading for -
Mostly fastballs and sliders, with an occasional changeup, and none of that big “please park me deep” curveball. Me likey.

Do we get Scot Sheilds
and can we have the one who sucks in Oakland
Walk, walk, walk, single, walk, double, single
alright.
someone who saw the balk – how did he balk? the mlb.com replay shows buck pointing, the run scoring, and scoscia sitting there… not helpful.
"The hard... is what makes it great."
Didn't see it, but on the radio
it sounded like he didn’t bring his hand together properly before the pitch. Can anybody watching confirm that?
I was going to buy a copy of The Power of Positive Thinking, and then I thought: "What the hell good would that do?"
No, he flinched - hunched his shoulders for an instant
Don’t knock it: It’s the biggest clutch hit with RSIP we’ve had all game.

So let's say we win today somehow (knocks on wood)
We move Gallagher into the rotation?

Strange to see the Yankees playing so late
Rain delay of course. Teixeira has 2 home runs. They won’t be booing him tonight even though they are still losing.
in case I forget, props to Sean Gallagher

0-3 tonight, about to be 0-4

I think having Gallagher and Gio up on the mound together
would really mess with the oppositions heads
Green and Gold Lantern Corps
and Gio's wouldn't?
the offence can’t score anyways, so we’d be worrying anyhow.
"The hard... is what makes it great."
Gio looked great
until that one inning…Bad innings happen…Every inning for Eveland is a bad inning…Constant baserunners
no, i agree.
Gio was excellent considering that it was 5 high leverage innings. 5ip, 3er is not bad, and wouldn’t be a bad start.
It’s not a start though when it’s that high leverage.
I’m just saying the offence sucks, and if its 5ip 3 er starting, we still have four innings of pen and there’s a decent chance we’re behind.
"The hard... is what makes it great."
Offense isnt great
but the pitching staff has wasted some of the good offensive games ie two games this weekend 7 runs scored two losses…NICE
also, Outman was pretty good last night

Eveland is just bad
My idea is to have the rotation look like Braden/Cahill/Anderson/Outman/Gallagher now Duke comes back and put Outman in pen…I dont think it would be a bad thing at all
That's hot Matt.

I'd rather lose 100 games to the Yankees,
and another 100 to the Red Sox, than lose a single game to these tools. It’s called burning hatred.

needed to get his TTO percentage up
and you can really only control k’s
"The hard... is what makes it great."
He should be in the rotation along with Gio,
Braden, Anderson, Cahill – Outman while Anderson DLs to solve his blister problem, then choose between Outman and Cahill in two weeks depending on how Cahill’s doing.

I think Gio pitched pretty well under the circumstances
He was thrown into a tie game in extra innings and gave them three shutout.

high leverage.
completely different game and mindset.
one pitch and you lose.
"The hard... is what makes it great."
ya had to pitch more careful
and he was challenging hitters until that one inning and he started being too cute is what id call it…So i disagree with inbillywetrust cuz outside of one inning gio was challenging hitters
Gonzalez should not have been left in as long as he was
He pitched a few solid innings before being left in for faaaar too long and giving up runs.
Somebody control ZigFan
Gio yesterday, Jerry today.

The guy who sits near the crowd mics with the really annoying chear needs to die
You know, the guy with the “Daaaaaaa, Da-Da-Da!” or whatever chear you can hear in high leverage situations. It’s the most annoying chear in the world. It reminds me of the hyper-annoying “Can Can Can!” song from Moulin Rouge, skipping so the intro repeats endlessly until murder fills your thoughts.
(heard at the end of the last inning.)

What I meant to post was a compliment of sorts to the Slegna (gah!)
for finding a pitcher who does not find it necessary to point at the sky, beat his chest, and scream like a wolverine.
A tip of the cap
to the folks who braved the bad weather to watch…
whatever that was
I'm a happy seal
I'd like to shake all six of their hands.
"I’m Joey Devine, I’m what Joba Chamberlain would be if he was good and nobody had ever heard of him."
It's fucking A's postgame
Why are they interviewing Chone Figgins?
fail
Green and Gold Lantern Corps
personally
Big Jaymee Sire fan…dont care who she is interviewing really…A’s lost doubt they are too eager to talk to anyone and dont wanna put her in harms way
So when does Anderson get DLd?
"I’m Joey Devine, I’m what Joba Chamberlain would be if he was good and nobody had ever heard of him."
What would be on the to-do list
1) Get an out pitch
2) Cut your walks in half to 6 an inning
3) Throw harder than 34 mph
4) Limit hits to 4 an inning
5) Work on your throws to second
6) Call Bob Geren when you get an out in AAA and tell him you are ready to come back.
7) Miss the bus when they call you back up
pretty solid list
I might add miss the bus on the next road trip and just head to stockton to play for them…Just throw strikes to the single A guys..maybe Batting Practice anything to teach him to throw strikes
