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.

This game reminds me of the sort of game the Warriors often played a few years ago
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.

LOL @ Geren

IF Barton and Hannahan both get on base we will win
IF not, we will lose. I think that means we have 1% chance of winning!

So what was the point of pinch-hitting Nomar there?
Trying to make Hammels throw fewer pitches?

I think all the looming was bothering Nomar's calf.

It's so crazy that it might work!
In an alternate world or in a movie where a friendly screenwriter could write the script to make events fall our way.
