We're back to the time when 2 runs feels insurmountable

The A's technically have three more shots at the Dodgers 'pen...
…but if they see Broxton it’s over.

How about he come out and say,

I despise the Giants.
They think they’re just the best thing in the world. They think their shit’s ice cream because of that stadium they somehow managed to pull out of their butt. They were about a phone call away from playing 30 minutes from where I am right now in the Trop. And they act like butter couldn’t melt in their mouth. Eff them. Eff them in their pretentious, no-World Series winning asses.

That was a horrible mistake. He can’t catch up with most fastballs. But give him a lousy breaking pitch and he can still hit it out.

Actually
Karmicly (sp?) speaking, the Dodgers deserved that Crosby home run.
If they hadn’t faffed around with Furcal, and he’d ended up in Oakland, that would have never have happened.
Possibly.
Tough call here because Cust is due up 4th in the 9th,
but I’d put Denorfia in RF now. You have the lead and have 6 outs to get vs. one inning to hit. Go for best defense.

I’ve never been bothered by the goat jokes, but how are curse words more offensive than references to bestiality?

The goat stuff is ancient history.
Don’t dig it up.
"Go ahead and overachieve, you scrappy Brett-Favre-colored walk-takers." —Rev Halofan
Why not?
People complained for a long time about the jokes, but they did not stop, CGV standards or no CGV standards. It’s not hard, especially when one is frustrated and posting in the heat of the moment, to post a comment someone, somewhere, will find offensive.
Of course, we should try to be nice, civil and inoffensive, but we all slip sometimes.
What prompted my comment in the first place is this: I sometimes don’t understand why some comments get the hammer while others — equally harsh or full of sexual innuendo or whatever — get a free pass.

I didn't miss it, and it's not a non-starter as far as I'm concerned
Recently, I posted an otherwise innocuous joke in which I used the word “bulls—t.” It was the only comment I’ve ever posted which contained a profanity, and I regretted using it. But to this day, I can’t figure out why it was removed when f-bombs and the like are used left and right.
What, exactly, are the standards we’re supposed to follow?

could someone explain the stategy behind the double switch?
i know i’m missing something
Gets the pitcher'
"If Vin Mazzaro comes anywhere near me with shaving cream he’s gonna be coming away with a bloody stump" – Dallas Braden
it's the pitchers batting spot.
they essentially make the switch so the pitcher isn’t batting third or fourth next inning.

what he said
"If Vin Mazzaro comes anywhere near me with shaving cream he’s gonna be coming away with a bloody stump" – Dallas Braden
Pitching change and the opportunity to bring a position player in who will bat in the pitcher's spot next inning
The pitcher’s spot then goes to the replaced position player.
Example: someone bats 8th and makes the final out of the inning. In the double switch you take him out and bring a new pitcher in and you can have the position player bat in the 9th spot leading off the next inning while the pitcher’s spot goes to 8th, which is unlikely to come up very soon.
