Open Thread: Game 90 - A's vs. Royals (3)

The A's staked Gio to a 5-1 lead, and despite massive trouble, he hasn't cracked. Bases loaded, no one out, and he got a popup, a strikeout, and a nifty play by Kouz and Barton (who looked injured on the play, but I hope I imagined that) to get him out of the inning unscathed. It's 5-1 A's, going to the fifth.

Costas has become this weird cult figure in sports broadcasting. He bothers me a little.

But man, he was on his game for the Olympics in Vancouver, which made it awesome that the rest of the NBC crew clearly wasn’t on their game. Every time they screwed up and he knew it, he would literally talk shit on international television.

At one point, Costas signed off into one camera, but then the broadcast abruptly cut to a different camera, showing a different angle. Costas finished his signoff, calmly turned to the other camera, and said, “Oh. I guess we’re signing off from this angle tonight.” And signed off again.

But he is a fielder.

That’s kind of all that matters right now for the BoSox.

he plays "everywhere" according to the red sox.

hes the only one that probably can play CF, everyone they have is on the DL

Yeah, I have a problem with that use of the word "salad"

Nah, this is one of those games I'm happy to see used as a learn-how-to-pitch-again spot for the bullpen.

I mean, I don’t want Gio to leave before he should, but I’m not bugged if he leaves before seven IP.
