Open Thread: Game 63 - A's at Dodgers (cont)

PrintThe 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............

Speaking of Braden, he’s leading off the fifth.

I don't feel like Braden has "that" stuff tonight,
but he’s shore making it look easy.

Does it mean our team is bad
that I think a mid-game score of zero-zero is really really good news?

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.

Is anyone else thinking,
so far Braden is just giving all those AN fans down there hope, only to have our offense crush their spirits and send them out to the bars to drink heavily?
I think they might do that regardless, Lynn.

More than just ANtics: http://www.louisgray.com/live/
they're trying to desensitize us, so that it's familiar and loses its sting?
but if it hasn’t worked for 20 years and it ain’t working now.
AN was so much better before I got here.
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.
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 may see Crosby later anyway
Odds are good Nomar will pull something after a couple innings in the field.

I'm assuming Crosby comes into play 3rd now,
so it’s a two-player move. That’s my hesitation about it.
