Open Thread: Game 121 - Tampa Bay Rays at Oakland Athletics (2)

Vin Mazzaro (with some help from horrific first inning defense) put the A's in a 3-0 hole early, but thanks to Daric Barton's battle at the plate, the A's put two on the board themselves. It's 3-2 Rays, going to the bottom of the fourth.

yeah. went a few times when they were new. i had kind of unpleasant experiences, not always with the food, but every time there was something weird.

to be explicit. once the jerk chicken was underdone. that we the food one. the rest were all about the staff. once this nice older couple sitting next to us put in an order and then got ignored while we got served at twice the speed and i just felt awkward the whole time because they were right there looking at us and the server very questioningly. i don’t know if i was reading too much into it, but it didn’t feel right.

it’s been a while now. maybe now that they’ve been around they’ve found their groove and i should go back. should i?

7. [a veteran that I have heard of but never guessed that he’d end up playing for the A’s]

May I just say that Jack Cust is awesome?

What a wonderful thing to see upon returning from my smoke break.

And let me say once again: that guy MUST be a part of next year’s team. He came back from what had to be one of the toughest lumps a ballplayer can take, and has done nothing but bust his ass for this team. I have gone, over the course of this season, from being basically a Cust-hater to an unequivocal Cust booster. He is one of the few A’s that can come to the plate and make me think, “You know what? We have a chance at this thing.”

I would have liked to see Mazzaro finish the inning
