Sweeney didn’t know where the ball went was charging to second base. By the time he figured it out and raced back to first, he was thrown out easily. Double play.
And then Kennedy followed with a double that would have scored Sweeney if he hadn’t been doubled up.

There was a great bit on the A's game.
They had a good lengthy summary, separate from the top 10 highlights. Totally respectable.
As for those top ten, Punto’s play earned its place. That was a great play. Matsui walk-off was stupid for #1 though.

Two things stood out to me on that last play:
1. Wuertz had forever to position himself, and still stayed to the 1B side (which is why Cuddyer was safe).
2. Suzuki was unbelievably calm making the throw — if anything, didn’t throw it hard enough.
Oh and the fact that the call sucked kind of stood out too.

I feel awful for ever doubting.
What a game. What. A. Game.

You shouldn't feel awful for doubting
At one point they only had a 2% chance of winning. I’m sure there were very few fans (if any) that thought THIS team would register the greatest comeback in Oakland A’s history

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

Guys were getting back in it before the slam….they had hope….Holliday, biggest homerun they’ve had for the team. Good to do it for the fans…. didn’t see the call. Gio didn’t pitch where he wanted to, they didn’t miss.
Hey, so did I miss anything?

And hopefully Gio does not get another start this year
for the big club
He has a lot of work to do. AAA is his lot for now until he gets it together which I don;t like his chances of doing so.

My opponent has Justin Morneau on his team. It is a weekly matchup though so I won’ know how much it hurts until Monday. On the plus side he/she does hate Nick Blackburn on his squad too.

On the replay, and slow mo on tivo
maybe it’s me trying to reconcile this, but it kind of looks like cuddyer’s right leg went over the plate before his left leg touched, and wuertz tagged his right leg a hair before

One I was hoping to forget
"If Vin Mazzaro comes anywhere near me with shaving cream he’s gonna be coming away with a bloody stump" – Dallas Braden
14 earned runs
Against the Yanks in ’98. Howe left him out to slaughter while the announcers did everything but call the dugout to give him the hook. Tied the record I believe.

Beane says Barton will hold 1st base if he produces
“Given that (Barton) is in there and given that he’s a guy who we think could or should be part of our future, he’ll get every chance to play first,” Beane said. “He’ll hold on to the job if he’s able to produce.”

"If Vin Mazzaro comes anywhere near me with shaving cream he’s gonna be coming away with a bloody stump" – Dallas Braden
I liked the comment
somewhere around when the score was 12-2 the guys says, “…. aaaand, this game’s not gonna make the show.”
"Go ahead and overachieve, you scrappy Brett-Favre-colored walk-takers." —Rev Halofan
I saw the ESPN bit on SportsCenter
Not bad. Pretty good coverage of the game. Fair, and reasonably thorough.
Also Nick Punto’s put-out on Cust made the top ten highlights. Deserved it, too. That was a sweet play.
"Go ahead and overachieve, you scrappy Brett-Favre-colored walk-takers." —Rev Halofan
I only saw the top 10 plays and was mad
