More Thread: Everyone's Scoring Tonight!

A three-run jack by Jason Kubel staked the Twins to a quick lead, but the A's came back with a pair of their own, only to see Gio give them back and then some. Justin Morneau hit a grand slam, and Michael Cuddyer followed with a solo shot.
Headed to the bottom of the second, 8-2 Twinkies. Me thinks we're in for a long night.
Can we start over?

Just got here a few moments ago.
So, I’m guessing Gio can’t get the curve over for strikes therefore Twins are teeing off on the fastball. Am I right?
Gio's strikeout rate in AAA always makes him seem promising
But at this point, I wouldn’t call him up even if he had an 18 K/9 until he got his walk rate under control.
He just doesn’t have any command. Literally, any.
Outman, fighter of the Hitman, champion of the K, he's a master of scoreless innings and friendship for everyone.
As we know it's not good to fall behind
but in Gio’s case, he falls behind and he gets totally obliterated.
They know what’s coming and they never miss it
My favorite team is a fucking embarrassment to all true A's fans and they make me sick to my stomach on an almost daily fucking basis. But being a true fan, I will ride this pathetic bunch of losers out and hope that they get better in 2010
Exactly.
This is what I was saying in the last thread. And when he gave Morneau the third ball, I pretty much figured he’d serve one up. I predicted it, at least.

Morneau could really conceivably hit for the home run cycle
That’d actually be pretty cool.
Outman, fighter of the Hitman, champion of the K, he's a master of scoreless innings and friendship for everyone.
Not so sure.
For a solo homer, we’d need to retire the players immediately in front of him in the lineup.

Not bad!

Morneau 7 rbi's 2 at bats.
Holliday 7 rbi since July 3rd.
If we're gonna lose (and of course we are)
it better be entertaining.
Nico: Okay. We have twelve hours to make a really big pickle.
On a normal team
Things would have been totally shaken up with firings and DFA’s etc.
This is not a normal team.
I wonder what they have to do to really start Beane on the warpath
My favorite team is a fucking embarrassment to all true A's fans and they make me sick to my stomach on an almost daily fucking basis. But being a true fan, I will ride this pathetic bunch of losers out and hope that they get better in 2010

Huh, I didn't even notice they got the 12th
