Batista warming up?
Might be time to find something else to do…..
You can't hide from the omnipresent eye.
Daaamn almost had another one
Russ is a sexy beast
If Branyan equaly Sexson's 2005 I will laugh the laugh of the ages.

Of course.
My point is that we paid Sexson a truckload of money and gave him four years while Branyan was cheap and required no commitment.

*into*... now he is back to Johjima
The missed catch is a much talked topic…
If it gets scored an E it at least takes two ER off of Felix.
A's stadium announcer
Sounds like he could croak any second
there was nothing close
at least not at second base
I dont believe this.
I SIMPLY CANNOT FUCKING BELIEVE HOW WOUND UP THIS GAME IS MAKING ME FEEL.

Clement is blocking Clement

Clement isn't blocking Clement
The front office is blocking Clement
Yeah, the FO sent him down to AAA and that wasn't the best move.
But Clement didn’t do a whole lot to earn a spot on the roster. It was between him and Rob Johnson and Johnson beat him out

It should never have been a competition
and spring training stats don’t matter. He needs to face major league pitching, period.
I don't think it was his hitting that they were that concerned about
From all accounts I’ve heard his defense was terrible. I agree he needs extended look at ML pitching but the DH slot was kinda full and his defense was to the point they didn’t want him catching in the big leagues.

Just 94 pitches for Felix. Couldn't he go one more?
Also not one groundout. 7 FO’s 8 K’s
He pitched poorly, no need to prolong the torture.

We need to have an uplifting comeback first
Then we can get our hearts ripped out of our collective chests!
I have no hope for this game
The ump decisions + Kenji being an idiot make me feel this is destiny to be a loss.
I've been impressed how that kind of thinking has turned out to be wrong this season.
Not that I can blame you…
Cmon M's please have a five run rally right here ... please?

But luckily it was timed in a very inconvenient fashion for the A's.

Just a note that someone up there said they wanted to
rip Kenji’s head off and shit down his neck.
Not that his clutch hit just now changes anything. I’m just wondering how you came up with that thought

what an awesome name. I don’t know how it’s spelt but that sounds amazing.

Why does Cedeno care about the catcher there?
Strange though that it happened now twice to our guys to hit the C with a broken bat

stupid laptop overheats like a bitch
when watching video
For real this team is special
just when we were about to give up on them that happens
The only thing that would have that inning better would've been if the back-to-back 2-RBI hits were by Endy and Gutz

What if you live in Vancouver?
I would’ve guessed that was an M’s blackout area.

We have one groundball out so far today.
This would be a fabulous time to triple that number.
Is there some righthander in this linup?
This is prob. where having no lefty hurts you.

Hey, does anyone else remember Morrow blowing a save in Oakland last year?
DON’T DO THAT AGAIN.

It took Sean Gallagher six pitches to
- give up two hits
- give up one run
- record three outs

Morrow's getting absolutely robbed on Gamecast
In the first at bat at least. All five pitches caught all of the white fuzzy strikezone.
I'd prefer if it was not freed from him.

Notice
Oakland has swung at ONE pitch so far
So people have figured out how to beat Brandon Morrow
just don’t swing
What are the chances of Bobby Crosby obliging us by hitting into a double play here?

Nomar was a better hitter really. Look up some of his early Boston years, it will surprise you how good he was.

It was all planned
Lopez wanted him to get the strikeout for confidence boosting reasons
Jeez that was overly stressful
Really nice win though!
Amazing battle between Kendrick and Papelbon going on right now.
Patriotism, Pepper, Professionalism
Right now
the M’s are on pace to allow 594 runs while scoring 837 over the course of the season
Goddamn kids these days gettin' all spoiled with concession stands! Why, I remember standing in line for a beer!
And we liked it!
Awesome, how did I ever miss this?
Funny thing is I wasn’t old enough to buy beer in the Kingdome, the adults would disappear for a loooong time.

Mariners victory and a Sounders game at 7:30.
Today is fantastic.
I want to see what the batspeed was for his HR, because I am positive it will be top 10 on hittracker.

I cannot believe that we won that.
The A’s must feel awful. Felix was poor, our non-poet relievers walked the world, our lineup sucked and we had two big errors but still won the ballgame.
And I am very happy. VERY happy. BIG happy.
Yet I get a sad feeling that this team is in for some heavy regression against the better ballclubs…
Either way, yay we are fun to watch again! [apart from our heart-attack bullpen].

Felix did K 8
And the ump was squeezing both Morrow and Lowe a bit
I disagree about the strikezone I thought it was consistent most of the game if pretty small.
Gameday didn’t seem to match up with the pictures.
And Felix sucked. Lot’s of strike 3 called and no GB’s.

I think a consistently small strike zone is an enormous fault.
This an isn’t original thought, but every aspect of the game suffers from a consistently small strike zone as compared to a consistently big strike zone. They take longer, they mess with pitchers’ heads and arms, they’re agonizing to watch, etc. It distorts the game much less to have a consistently big strike zone because the hitters will adjust pretty quickly (much easier than the pitchers adjust to the small ones). I’d even rather have an average strike zone that’s inconsistently called than a consistently small one.
I hate small strike zones.

Amazing moment in the KC/NYY game.
Swisher hits a FB to RF off HoRam. Bloomquist, racing towards the line, dives about 10 feet away from where the ball landed. It goes into the corner for a triple.
I hope you die. I hope we BOTH die.
Yep saw that.
Miscellaneous Dreikaiserbund member catches that.
