i see a pattern to our run scoring

5 (odd nbr.)..7 (odd nbr.)..0…0…3 (odd nbr)…0

so i predict we score 0 in the 7th and either 1 or 9 in the 8th

we’ll score 11. or maybe 2.

Honestly, the best thing the A's can do tomorrow against CC

is look at as many pitches as they can. Get CC out of the game and get into the Yankees bullpen, which isn’t good.

I'm more concerned about how Big Vin handles going back "home".

Starting in the Bronx for the first time.
Probably lots of friends and family in town.
Not to mention a televised game against a Cy Young winner.
Obviously, I hope he’s too young and “stupid” to care about any of that and pitches a perfect game.

Anyone think K-Hill starts the 8th?

Personally, I would give him another 10 pitches, then throw Casilla or someone out there in the 9th.
But knowing Bob, he’ll probably go to Bailey for a two inning “save”.

you could make an error if you were on fire,

I love winning like anyone else but I just have this weird feeling of what the heck (Not Complaining)!

and how exactly do we barely draw 10,000 on a weeknight and we have almost 23,000 out there on a weekday in the middle of the work day? maybe all of our games should be weekday day games, we would be on track to draw almost 2 million fans….

There is no A in OFFENSE!!

I just stopped in to see the fireworks.

I like how the Twins put up a little mini-tease at the end.

P.S. ESPN’s play-by-play says Crosby replaced Cabrera in the middle of an at-bat. What happened to O-Cab?

So I guess you can have AN After Dark even if it’s not dark?

Damn straight.

Nico: Okay. We have twelve hours to make a really big pickle.

YAY!

Victory by a wide margin, doesn’t happen very often round these parts.

Also, is that 40 wins? Alright!
