Tomko Teams with Three to Blank Yanks

I guess that's why they play the game.
With Brett Tomko the apparent sacrificial lamb sent out to face the big, bad Yankees, this was one of those games that you marked with an "L" on your magnetic schedule long before the first pitch.
But a funny thing happened on the way to a Big Apple beat-down. Tomko tossed five shutout innings, Rajai Davis and Mark Ellis continued their torrid ways, and the A's walked off the diamond with a 3-0 victory.
Oh and it seems there were some signings tonight, too.
Seems Tomko's arm was not a bomb threat after all. Although he retired the side just once, he was never in any real danger, except for the third when he faced Alex Rodriguez with the bags loaded, and only one out. But Tomko got A-Rod to hit one back to the mound where he started an inning-ending, 1-2-3 double play.
All the game's runs were scored in the fourth, and good news for you dear reader, they all came on the A's side of the board. Davis doubled with one out, and stole third without a throw before Kurt Suzuki singled him home. Scott Hairston's base hit was followed by a Ryan Sweeney groundout that moved the runners up ninety feet. Suzuki scored on a balk by starter A.J. Burnett, who appeared to stop himself as if time was called. With Hairston on third, Ellis drove him in on a double that eluded Nick Swisher. Make that 20 RBI's in August for the second baseman.
And that was pretty much it, with one more scare in the eighth.
Craig Breslow allowed just a hit, while striking out a pair in two innings of work, and was followed by Brad Ziegler. With two on and two out in the eighth, Ziggy K'd Jorge Posada to douse the fire, and Andrew Bailey pitched a perfect ninth to close out a most improbable win.

they might make a movie of the same name, but they'll never remake that movie
only roeg can make the MWFTE as we know it. it’s a very personal movie, an allegory on his own life: trapped in hollywood, he can’t get back to his home planet (england), and his vision is being changed by the new atmosphere.

Carney was one of my favorite players when he was with the A’s — I’d cite his everyman appearance when contrasting why I was such a baseball fan, and no longer such a football fan.
And now he wears a gnat uniform…. Kill it before it grows (Anyone know how his son is doing?)

Great Game, and really really fast too
The crowd wasn’t as large as I expected, but we parked all the way out and were very quickly on the freeway. Weird thing about the Yankee fans surrounding us: they were very meek and mild, and most of the women spent their time drinking beer and texting. Lots of texting from Yankee fans. Guess the game didn’t interest them.
It was really a fun game. I mean, when you’re cheering every time Tomko gets someone out, because that’s more than you’d ever expect him to do, nearly all his pitches were little victories. Low expectations will do that. And then the bullpen was mostly solid. Fun times at the ball park.

Sitting next to me were a couple of guys, brothers likely
They weren’t speaking English, and I couldn’t figure out the language. They were really into the game, laughing and cheering – chanting “Let’s go Oak-land!”
In the 9th with two outs, one guy turned to me and asked “With this out, game over?” I said yes as we all stood to clap and cheer as Bailey worked against Cabrera.
I then asked him where they were from. He replied “We’re from Holland! This is our first baseball game!”

Tomko stays
Looks like he’ll get another start, or more than another start. Guess what, guys who want a six-man rotation and the shut-down of Cahill and Anderson? Brett Tomko looks to be the answer to your prayers.

Works for me.
Hell, call up Eveland and toss him into the rotation as well. Egon, too.
Give Anderson, Cahill, Mazzaro the rest of the season off.
