This is an AIM conversation I just had
me (4:46:24 PM): on a side note, its depressing when you’re down 3-0, the inning leads off with back to back walks
me (4:46:36 PM): and then you’re looking at an upcoming order of daric barton, rajai davis, and jack hannahan.
chris (4:47:01 PM): hahaha
This game kind of beautifully illustrates
how bad this team is. Maybe “beautifully” isn’t the right word.

As you can see
getting excited about a 7 game winning streak is undone just as quick by multiple game losses in a row
If Beane cant put together an offense that can hit in the enxt 3 years he should be gone.

The worst thing about the current A's
Is that there’s nobody even interesting to pay attention to in the lineup. It’s just a massive, paralyzing black hole of suck and trade bait.

I think that as A's fans we are to passive with this team.
I know there really isnt much a fan can do but, I like it when fans such as cubbie or yankee fans let the players know how bad they are from the stands. Instead of this panzy approach “We will get him next time” O-Cab is horible

This Blackburn pitches well but they let him off the hook a few times. I venture to say most other teams would have delivered a knockout punch to him
How many times has Korach said "well hit ball" today?
Not a lot of luck for the A’s today.
So many line-outs today. Line drives, but right at the OFers

Lost count but I think it’s like 10 in a row they have won over last 3 or 4 years
I am going on Thursday if Mazzaro is pitching. I think Randy Wolfe lines up and Wolf is a gascan.

I was gonna say that Holliday was going to start the rally
but he just couldn’t wait to get out before I finished writing it
I wish they hadn't gone on that 7-game winning streak
it makes the losing more painful!
"To me, boxing is like a ballet, except there's no music, no choreography, and the dancers hit each other." - Jack Handey
I like that they're 7-3 in the past 10 games
and I have a feeling that 7-game streak may have been the high point for this team this year…
it just game me false hope. If they wanted to go 7-3, I would’ve preferred them to win 2, lose 1, win 1, lose 1, win 2, lose 1… something more like that. That way, it’s less noticable that they played a great stretch, and I wouldn’t have rejuvinated my hopes for this season.

Eh. I think he'll be an OK hitting, shoddy fielding 2B.
I just don’t see a whole lot of value in that.
If he happens to, say, switch to CF and continue to be an OK hitter, I’d be a little happier.

Not strikeouts, per se

The A’s have not had a walk-off win all season. Can someone confirm? Pretty please?
Um this is just for future reference, by the way. I don’t need it like right now.

Chance of scoring 1+ runs with a leadoff walk: 41%. Is this number for all baseball or for the A's in general?
I’m guessing it’s for teams in general.

and he failed miserably, to the point of injuring himself.

Who woulda thought he’d turn into a servicable CF with regular ABs?
Not I! But damn am I happy about it!
He's still not. I mean, that's an awesome game winner, but...
"I’m Joey Devine, I’m what Joba Chamberlain would be if he was good and nobody had ever heard of him."
At this point, he's almost at Swooney-replacement level
which is the best thing we’ve got. So I’d say: yes, he’s servicable
That says less about Davis than it does about Sweeney.

Games like this make me think the team is still in the race.
They got just enough pitching, a few clutch hits, played some fundamental 9th inning ball, and got contributions from the little guys. I love wins like this.

and with the FAIL-spiral of Lackey and Santana
and a (hopefully) inevitable summer wilt by the Rangers, we might have a chance if we can win 85-88 games.
Tall order, I know, but it’s there for the taking
I left.
They won. Woo-hoo!
