PrintAgainst all odds, the A's have managed to scrape together two runs, and Anderson has danced out of trouble all night, most recently getting the much-needed shut-down inning. We go to the bottom of the fifth; 2-0 A's!

about the Tigers getting to Anderson this inning? You had it backwards
The A's have sunk so low
That they have now resorted to beating up on 20-year-olds. For shame, guys.
I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to, too.
Why must the A's decide to hit against my fantasy team?
I should be happy the A’s are playing better I understand….but its one game. They will have time to suck tomorrow.

I Have been watching MLB highlights on 276
My friend is over here using my computer to type some letters.
I see we are winning
I see that waste of roster space has been jettisoned to AAA where he belongs. And add that he should never see our ML roster again. Good to see Buck here.
I see Brett Anderson did well considering he threw 83,000 pitches but got himself out of all trouble
As long as we somehow pound the slegnA when we play them and our good players continue to progress and that Geren is fired then that is all I ask. Asking to get to .500 is too much to ask at the moment
Will we bat in the 9th inning, Trainman?
