Double fuck.

Fuck Anaheim.

Well, I'm torn.

One-game playoff!

by BrianL on Aug 30, 2009 2:16 PM PDT reply actions

We're going to split with the Royals.

by MFAN on Aug 30, 2009 2:16 PM PDT reply actions

Zack Greinke, Brian Bannister and Gil Meche are all good pitchers.

by Matthew on Aug 30, 2009 2:25 PM PDT up reply actions

True and no Ichiro.

by MFAN on Aug 30, 2009 2:26 PM PDT up reply actions

Or Branyan, or Beltre

by ThundaPC on Aug 30, 2009 2:27 PM PDT up reply actions

12 more outs!

by Robert on Aug 30, 2009 2:21 PM PDT reply actions

Bill Kruger needs to be a little more quiet.

by Kirk on Aug 30, 2009 2:25 PM PDT reply actions

Mute the game and listen to Pendulum really loud

by Robert on Aug 30, 2009 2:28 PM PDT up reply actions

I don't pay enough attention to the T.V to not have the sound on.

by Kirk on Aug 30, 2009 2:30 PM PDT up reply actions

You listen to DnB?

by Schuxu on Aug 30, 2009 2:31 PM PDT up reply actions

Everyone secretly love DnB.

It’s a fact of life.

by Kirk on Aug 30, 2009 2:32 PM PDT up reply actions

At least we're getting beat by a good pitcher this time.

by Heydude on Aug 30, 2009 2:36 PM PDT reply actions

Greinke's 3rd swinging strike.

by ThundaPC on Aug 30, 2009 2:36 PM PDT reply actions

What a hilarious poll.

Fuck Anaheim.

by Eyeball Kid on Aug 30, 2009 2:38 PM PDT reply actions

That poll is one of the reasons why I am glad that I work in a store with multiple cellphones

by Robert on Aug 30, 2009 2:38 PM PDT reply actions

That poll is great!

Bloomie should run away with it.

by Schuxu on Aug 30, 2009 2:39 PM PDT up reply actions

You can never have enough Willie on your team!

Says Kroogs. I wonder if he gives Dayton keys to general managing.

Mike Scioscia is fat.

by Big Jared on Aug 30, 2009 2:41 PM PDT up reply actions

Bloomie with 60

Olivo with 0.

by Schuxu on Aug 30, 2009 2:53 PM PDT up reply actions

Man RRS

Despite that one inning, great pitching.

by Schuxu on Aug 30, 2009 2:41 PM PDT reply actions

Despite Saunders' fuck up, this would be a scoreless game.

by Wilder. on Aug 30, 2009 2:54 PM PDT up reply actions

What a weird game.

by ThundaPC on Aug 30, 2009 2:41 PM PDT reply actions

Oh my, Greinke is just at 60 pitches.

by Schuxu on Aug 30, 2009 2:45 PM PDT reply actions

ok make it 75

Only had 5 innings in the box score of mlb.tv

by Schuxu on Aug 30, 2009 2:46 PM PDT up reply actions

75+

by Kirk on Aug 30, 2009 2:46 PM PDT up reply actions

Four swinging strikes.

by ThundaPC on Aug 30, 2009 2:47 PM PDT reply actions

Sweeney is even beloved by the opposing teams.

by Schuxu on Aug 30, 2009 2:48 PM PDT reply actions

Old team...

by Kirk on Aug 30, 2009 2:50 PM PDT up reply actions

Five and Six swinging strikes.

by ThundaPC on Aug 30, 2009 2:48 PM PDT reply actions

Why did you state those numbers?

Didn’t go to well since.

by Schuxu on Aug 30, 2009 2:49 PM PDT up reply actions

He wasn't missing bats.

Which I found interesting coming off a 15 K game.

by ThundaPC on Aug 30, 2009 2:51 PM PDT up reply actions

Seven swinging strikes.

Getting better.

by ThundaPC on Aug 30, 2009 2:49 PM PDT reply actions

Does anyone know how long Kreuger is going to be the color man?

by Smegmalicious on Aug 30, 2009 2:53 PM PDT reply actions

When he stops going to the tanning salon.

by Wilder. on Aug 30, 2009 2:54 PM PDT up reply actions

Blowers is just off for the weekend I think.

Fuck Anaheim.

by Eyeball Kid on Aug 30, 2009 2:56 PM PDT up reply actions

Angels win again

Shocker.

8 innings of RRS.

And we’re losing. What a pity.

So Ackley will have some BP tomorrow.

by Schuxu on Aug 30, 2009 3:00 PM PDT reply actions

Can he play first?

by I Lick Squirrels on Aug 30, 2009 3:03 PM PDT up reply actions

(As in first base)

I probably didn’t make that clear.

by I Lick Squirrels on Aug 30, 2009 3:03 PM PDT up reply actions

I think he played a lot of 1b this season due to his recovery from Tommy John surgery

by AtomicGarden on Aug 30, 2009 3:05 PM PDT up reply actions

Gah, I knew that.

What I was attempting to say was that the M’s should start him there tomorrow.

by I Lick Squirrels on Aug 30, 2009 3:13 PM PDT up reply actions

I predict we win

by Dewey N on Aug 30, 2009 3:12 PM PDT reply actions

Yes

If they lose you get modded

What are you going to do?

by Robert on Aug 30, 2009 3:17 PM PDT up reply actions

I kind of wish we'd gotten no-hit.

by Aaron Campeau on Aug 30, 2009 3:12 PM PDT reply actions

i wish we went into extras

Don't believe the lies Bill!!!! look at the sparkly ERA!!! Sparkly, Sparkly!!! - McCovey Chronicles

Paperboy vs. Papercut to finish this out.

by Wilder. on Aug 30, 2009 3:15 PM PDT reply actions

I'm entirely surprised that Zach Greinke shut out this offense.

50!

by joof on Aug 30, 2009 3:17 PM PDT reply actions

Tomorrow should be fun.

Fuck Anaheim.

by Eyeball Kid on Aug 30, 2009 3:17 PM PDT reply actions

Hey now.

by ThundaPC on Aug 30, 2009 3:17 PM PDT reply actions

I take back every mean thing that I have ever said about Joe Saunders

HOOKIE POWER

by Robert on Aug 30, 2009 3:18 PM PDT reply actions

At least we got shut down by someone good

As opposed to the non-descript middling starters that usually do it.

Mike Scioscia is fat.

by Big Jared on Aug 30, 2009 3:19 PM PDT reply actions

True, losing to Greinke is better than losing to a 2-8 #5 starter.

by Heydude on Aug 30, 2009 3:22 PM PDT up reply actions

Did they show the guy with the Rally Fries puppet?

How does he look at himself in the mirror after that?

SHAME!!!

Best game I've seen RR-S pitch

Silly Saunders. Grb.

by appleshampoo on Aug 30, 2009 6:38 PM PDT reply actions

What's annoying is that Grienke was not on his game at all in the first few innings

Lots of hard hit balls right at guys.

by appleshampoo on Aug 30, 2009 6:39 PM PDT up reply actions

I will say a prayer regarding Robert's balls.

What I say to God, I will keep to myself.
