Open Thread: Game 131 - Oakland Athletics at New York Yankees (2)

The Yankees scored 1 in the first and 3 in the second, helped by a whole bunch of Little League bumbling around by the A's. Nothing new in New York. We go to the third.


Dan, it's your move.

I think the team should be wearing that uniform

Only Rickey deserves to wear the A’s uni this series.

Wouldn't have mattered if the board looked like that

Circle would always have the next move. 3 Xs on the board and only 2 Os.

This game should be 1-0 right now. Not 4-0.

If the umps have even a fucking shred of consistence.

 I saw a similar batter interference play in a DC-STL game last week called an out, and the guys who would’ve scored had to go back to their bases.

Apparantly, the rules of outs don’t apply to the Yankees.

do the A’s insist on making this team look like the Murderer’s Row line-up all over again?

wha?

Peter Gammons ran over his puppy. But that wasn’t the worst part. He then proceeded to back over it too. Then rolled forward again (#3), rolled down the window and said, "What are you going to do about it, kid? I’m Peter F**king Gammons, b**ch." Then drove away. -d to the moas

It's not like the A's haven't been able to score runs

They’ve just haven’t been able to quell the Yankees bats as much as they have the rest of the MLB.

Nonsense. All you’re saying is that you like a guy who can just bang it there, Bush or not.

by danmerqury on Sep 1, 2010 5:42 PM PDT up reply actions  

But yeah, I get what you're saying.

I think McFadden can be a great speedy pass-catching RB, but he’s not big enough to pound it up the middle like Bush can. 2 RB formations would be great to see, especially considering our lack of WR talent.

by danmerqury on Sep 1, 2010 5:43 PM PDT up reply actions  

He seems like more of a 3rd down type back

or even line him up at wideout…..he has talent but you have to find out how to use that talent.

But seriously,folks....

by sirbed on Sep 1, 2010 5:45 PM PDT up reply actions  

Now that's an idea.

Lining up McFadden at wideout? Could be interesting.
