Loved this game.
Also, for some reason, Wak is sounding a lot like a young Johnny Cash on the post-game show…

Games won legitimately thanks to Yuniesky Betancourt: -1
Games won thanks to the opposing defense unable to handle his degree of suck: 2

The bunt he put down against LAA was actually a good one,
as opposed to the crappy one today.
by appleshampoo on May 3, 2009 6:48 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
He's an interesting vortex of terrible.
Another example is when he and Brandon Inge (a fairly decent third baseman) traded errors in one of the Detroit games.
He’s the team’s black cat.

Interesting stance.
We should play him every game because his suck is only contagious to our opponents. Like selective Monkey flu. This is something that must be studied! The H3I1 strain.

I don't know what I'm more amazed by:
1)Sweeney hitting a rocket out of Safeco
2)Johjima tying the game in the ninth with a homerun
3)Geren refusing to use his two best relievers to lock the game down thus allowing Gonzalez to throw 108 pitches in relief.
Just a crazy game

I'd be more excited if Batista didn't lull me into a coma during the 13th inning.
Seriously, though, what an improbable win. This was a fitting payback for Oakland winning yesterday.

What do the red lines between 13 and 14 mean?
I’m assuming they mean something along the lines of “Go ahead and change the channel. This one’s over.” but I thought I’d ask.

Actually, the opposite
Those are high leverage situations, when the A’s took the lead, and then when the Mariners crawled back.

My god, I just got back from this game.
Me and my brother basically stayed the whole 15 innings. The ending was a little anti-climatic, my god fucking damn, the bottom of the 13th was so fucking intense. We were wearing our rally caps from basically the bottom of the 8th, and it seemed to have worked.

I thought both Beltre and Johjima's errors should have been charged to
Muscles and Lopez, respectively. Both throws short-hopped, but they were pretty much on target and were fairly routine picks that the receivers just missed.

I was working and paid attention to the beginning. Didn’t turn it on again til extras, when Oakland went ahead 6-4. Turned it off, thinking it was over. Received text messages that it was tied and called my dad to find out what happened. As I was on the phone, Vargas walked someone. I hung up. And we won!
