Open Thread: Game 72 - A's vs. Rockies (cont)

Sloppy defense? Check.

Bad offense? Check.

Breaks not going our way? Check.

Typical A's game so far? Check.

Dallas Braden fails to avoid the big inning this time. Halfway through and the A's are in big danger of losing their first home game to the Rockies in over a decade, down 4-0.

Uninspired, sloppy, bad.

Someone I know was at one of those games and there just happened to be a very quiet moment when he got up and yelled, “You guys suck! I’m going home!” and pretty much everyone there heard it.

I’d like to hear something like that at this game.

we've actually done that

when we play softball. Right center pretends to throw the ball to 3rd but spikes the grass, man on first runs to second, thinking ball is going to 3rd, but the shortstop picks up the ball and throws out the runner on second….

…..but we’re mostly drunk

As for Oakland, now over 70 games

and not so much as a brushback pitch. Ladies and gentlemen, your polite and indifferent 2009 Oakland A’s.

years ago I had a supervisor who

looked just like the father in the Family Circus. His management approach to any even mild conflict, basically disagreements that alarmed him “now just be nice”

starts with the manager in the dugout

grooming guys for the call to the Big Show…“keep a positive mental attitude…accent the positive..”

This is the pinnacle of the sport. Let’s get some swagger (oh, he plays for NYY now).

Sorry to everyone that watched the entire game

Two innings was painful enough for me.

since he changed his position on the rubber

and his arm slot thusly got fixed, he’s been lights out.

Why couldn't he have figured

that out last season?

because he was hurt?

rhetorical??

He didn’t do it on his own. It was in concert with the coaching staff.

Slightly rhetorical.

Now, why haven’t the A’s fired the coaching staff yet? (This is rhetorical.)

I think the A's have been putting out so many fires over the past few years-

due to injuries, I don’t even know how they would have had time. It felt like 08 most of the pen was on the DL every couple months.

Dont blow Bailey.

Hmmmm...

I wonder if the guys will talk to Huston and ask him “how did you guys get rid of your manager?”

It doesn't sound

like “Citizen Kane” is exactly what cuppingmaster is going there for in the first place.

thank you

atrocious but entertaining is what I expect.

i think entertaining may be stretching it

i thought the filming was terrible – the camera moves too quickly for the robot action sequences, so its hard as hell to even know what’s going on in those scenes.

God, I love Dallas Braden.

He rated his performance tonight

“poor to very poor” (which it wasn’t), said that his lack of run support doesn’t bother him because he sees it as a personal challenge to go out there and dominate for 9 innings every time he’s handed the ball, and he never let’s an opposing pitcher’s performance dictate what he does or thinks.

whoa, errant apostrophe.

he's a competitor

reminds me a bit of hudson in his persona. but a lot weirder.
