Braden could be on his way to getting one of these himself, if only the A's could score.

Braden could be on his way to getting one of these himself, if only the A's could score.

Browse more photos »

The score is cero-null as we head to the fifth. Participants in tonight's thread have learned how to count from one to three in various languages. Where else can you talk about a baseball game and become multilingual as well? Perhaps we should change to Athletics Nations.

Dallas Braden looks like he enjoys pitching in Dodger Stadium so far............

The way I see it, Braden's going to do it or not regardless of what any of us says

How many times have people tried to jinx it only for the pitcher to finish it off anyway? The odds if him not doing it are just too high.

That you signed up for AN for the first time today just to mention this as your first ever comment suggests to me that you are being deliberately rude.

I like this move of batting Nomar, mostly because

the Dodgers don’t have a LHP reliever for later anyway. If they did, I actually would have (am I saying this?) pinch hit Crosby here and saved Nomar for later.

Literally, cazzo is dick

But they do use it in the same way we use fuck … ie, in every conceivable grammatical form no matter how nonsensical.

Dude.

Fucking A’s getting drilled and Lasorda talking about the ‘88 series. I’ve gone to fucking hell and no one’s bothered to tell me.

It's the same thing.

seriously.

I don’t care if you are doing a good cause. You’re part of the opposition’s machine. Do that stuff with Ray before the game and/or whomever else, but for a half inning on the home team’s radio?!

Or at least do it during Cotroneo's inning.

Yeah, Rajai Davis is a fucking pile of shit.

There are 4 or 5 others on display

I don't freaking get it

When is the A’s brass going to realize that RAJAI DAVIS IS NOT A MAJOR LEAGUE PLAYER????!?!?!?11!? It’s fucking insanity! I’d honestly, no joke, rather have a SINGLE A PLAYER from the A’s farm system.

Jesus.

Oh, and please score a goddamn run for Dallas Braden, the only bulldog on this entire team.

You're probably right

But in some ways, that’s not the point. I’d like to have a major leaguer in the outfield is really all I want.

you know what

I demand a 10 run inning now.

Considering that we haven’t scored in the last 14 innings, that sounds reasonable.

yeah, it sucks having the enemy in your house

but what are the A’s gonna do, say no? Lasorda is trying to raise awareness about a serious health issue. But, yes. like i said, it sucks.
