Took the words right out of my mouth
DOUBLE PLAY, MOTHERFUCKERS!
KOTCHMAN! LOWE! DEFENSE!
That was just an unfair inning thrown by Lowe.

Pure dominance.

So maybe Kotchman is okay.
I hate Andrew Bailey.
Kosey Catchman!
Mooseknuckle!!
Show Kurt's home run clip now
Great D!

Once again, Kotch’s glove is impressing me!

HEY GUYS THE JOKE HERE IS THAT THE TACO GUY IS STONED?

That means he smokes marihuana! GET IT

No. Explain it to me.
You can't be the only one who hasn't figured it out.

I’ll put it in a FanShot tomorrow.

If it weren't for the past five years we probably wouldn't have even noticed the Lopez play
lowe was nasty there
That was a sweet, sweet DP
Geico Commercials are approaching repugnance.

Assuming I spelled repugnance right.

Sweet turn, and scoop by Kotchman. Lowe looks fantastic.
Skrotchman getting it done with the glove
Are we going to lead the league in double plays?
Kotchman: Great offense one night

Great defense the next. Now he needs to put them both together on the same night.

Andrew Bailey!!

Fuck him!!

Damn, Geren really uses his top relievers.
A's bullpen = awesome.
Yeah, just a bit surprised he's using the same three guys he used last night
LET'S GO GUTI! POOP ALL OVER A PITCH!
Come on, Guti, more #3 hitter magic in the 9th.
Is Michael Wuertz the closer now?
Isn't Wuertz hurt?
That's also possible.
On the 15 day DL I believe
No

He is on the DL.

the DL's closer
Its amazing that we managed to get Kotchman by dumping Bill Hall's salary!
I love this team!
I smell Milton Bradley dinger....
Combination of salty and sweet.
Apparently I'm just smelling something else.
I love Franklin Guiterrez.
post post post post post post post post post post post post post post post post post post
That's cheating
WE'RE NOT COMMENTING FAST ENOUGH
I can list every single milepost on every single state highway in Washington and tell you what sign is at said milepost in reverse numerical order in single post increments if you would like
No one wants this ever.
go go go go
What is the matter with you
He tries to much to be like 2009 Robert
I do charge for this service

$.01 per post

Adderall is a helluva drug
Get to typing Corco!
Double in the gap.
WIN IT NOW WIN IT NOW

NO EXTRAS NO EXTRAS

GUTI!

God, I love you and your sexy ways.

Errrr...

Was going to reply…then got excited. I lose.

LL commenters explode SB Nation servers

Tonight at 11

If they survived yesterday they'll be fine today.
Neeeeeeeeed a baserunner...
Guti with the speeeeeed!
Come on, Guti.

Hit one outta here

Santeria, your the greatess.
ATTA BOY GORILLA DICK
SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAFE
Our team is so fucking annoying
HE'S SAFEEEE BITCHES!!!
YES SAFE YES YES YES

Not sure if the ump blew that, but I’ll take it

Nope, he was safe.
Way to go Gutz!
And the Oakland fans boo...

Come on now, the Raiders are still months away…

Wow that was really, really close....
GUTZ!!!!!

Angels baseball!!!

PLEASSSSE MILTON. PLEASEEEEE!
ANNOY FURTHER
I love Dave Sims...but

Holy hell his attempt at proper Guti pronunciation drives me batshit crazy.

He asked Franklin how to pronounce it and that's what he told him
That's how Guti told him to pronounce it.
It's the proper pronunciation.
He asked Gutierrez and that's how he said to pronounce it.
Yes, I understand that and respect his attempt-but it still drives me nuts.

Kind of like Eyebrows and Jon Miller’s proper belTRAY thing.

That's not how Beltre pronounces it though
agreed on Miller

seems vain to me, but maybe that’s wrong

Time to answer the bell Milton
Milton Bradley needs to do something useful here.
Gutierrez is faster than I thought. How sexual. How sexual indeed.
That is damn close
HIT IT TO KOUZ
It's bullshit run time!
BRADLEY TIME!!!!!
The sound of 6 booing Californians = aural ambrosia.
GOODBYE BASEBALL!
Now would be a good time to do it Milton
The WE chart is a perfect heart-beat chart

(I don’t actually know the correct term for those heart-beat chart things)

Cardiogram?
Yes. That thing.
I wish we had a team full of all speed guys.
bunt or no bunt drama
WHY DID MLB.TV PICK NOW TO DIE
oh jesus please let milton get a hit

i cant watch this

I swear to God if he GIDP...

I will personally remove him from the lineup…

WHAT IS BRADLEY'S NICKNAME?
ANGERMAN
OK ANGERMAN POOP ALL OVER ONE
"Parker Brothers".
Milton Bradley
Bilton Mradley.
Brittle Madley
You're on fire tonight.
Angry Black Man
BLACK DYNAMITE
Damn, Milton's bat looks slow so far
Man he's gonna K again.
Bradley is about to fuck the man
Come on Milton

Give me something for practically running home from my chem lab.

Come on hit it to third
Milton look done to anybody else?
Well Braden looks like the Cy Young and I think it's safe to call that now at this point in the season
It's been two days
Carlos Silvia.
Give it time.

He’s understandably on edge starting this season. And it’s two games.

Meh,

it is the beginning of the season.

Yes, two games is a perfect sample to decide someone is done.
during his at bat

the oakland radio guys said he’s “off to a slow start” or something like that

at the time he was, what, 0-6?

seems damn early

That looked a lot better off the bat
Compared to?
Compared to how far the ball actually traveled
Bradley has an anger hangover
Double time, Loafie.

Guti will do the rest.

We should trade for Ross Gload.

He would come through in the clutch.

He would probably only cost like Ichiro or maybe Felix.
Is Edgar Martinez available to pinch hit?

No?… How about Jay Buhner?…

Damn their outfield
Other sites must type this a lot when they play us. Or something.
God Lopez.

Let the poor pitches GO!

Bradley is hitless so far... hmmm
Because two games is a significant sample size.
Holy shit you're right!
Typical Lopez swinging at a ball out of the zone
Hit a HR please
gosh damn way to waste a perfectly good infield hit guys
I would enjoy a stolen base right now
I would accept a balk as well.
DO IT AGAIN CASEY!

I mean drive in runs, not another opposite field single.

Aw poor Casey
There there big guy
We gonna have a Kanekoa sighting?

Dang Kotch. Too bad it was right at em.

boooo not scoring
Oh fishtits
Angie...

Is seriously Bret Boone with a wig on… TELL ME I’M WRONG!

Now they're asking Krueger's opinion DURING the game?

Come on

Sometimes I'm glad that I only have a radio.
Angie Mentnik's name was cooler before she got married.
I bet he owns a sex swing.
If Kreuger's hair could talk, I would totally listen.
I can't even take this game anymore

somehow a tie game against a division rival in the bottom of the 9th just isnt that exciting when in oakland

This is killing me
Write it down, Mike Sweeney will be pitching in the 16th.
He throws a nasty eephus.
IT'S TEIXEIRA TIME

No, not that Teixeira.

It's Texeira. Only one "i" for Kanekoa
I feel like we're out of relievers already
Casey is going to give me a bad name.
This new sports desk thing looks weird as hell
Zombie Krueger!
Still 1-1, that's a relief....wait, bottom 9th? Uh-ohz
Shhh...listen. Words of wisdom.
Perspective: Ian Snell SP Game tied 1-1. I'll take it.

 We need a bit of offense!

Seems like a potential waste of a result not likely to be duplicated anytime soon by Snell
Can we somehow dupe the Yankees?

And sneak-trade the Teixeiras? Even though they are spelled differently, maybe the Yanks won’t notice…

Hey, they look a lot alike…

No way

Kotchman’s doing great!

But if he goes 0-4 tomorrow

I would re consider

We have two awesome Hawaiian relief pitchers!
We have two awesome looking Hawaiian relief pitchers!
Is...is that Cha Seung Baek?
LOL
No chatspeak please
Sorry...

would “HAHAHAHHAHA” work?

Too much smiling.
The perfect cover...
Please don't let them have a walkoff win Kanekoa and ruin my image of you.
WHY IS THIS NOT BRANDON LEAGUE
Texiera can keep going multiple innings if we go to extras
Damnit Guti you're good looking
Hawai'i representing
Kanekoa Texeira practices the ukelele in the offseason.
I hate contact.
Burning through pitchers too quickly?
Guti cares not for your premature cheers
That beard is freaking awesome.

His first name being Kanekoa pretty much guarantees that I love him.

God that is two HARD HIT balls
Well. They are hitting the ball hard off him.
Man, they're hitting it hard off of Tex.
Okay, so this guy looks terrible
Actually he looks awesome

His pitching might be a little shaky though

I'm not liking how this rookie debut is going.
This isn't good

He’s getting teed off on.

dear jesus, double play please
C'mon Hawaii
Okay, this is Murderball off Teixeira.
Can o cornTexeira
Those aren't groundballs

More groundballs

Fuck fuck fuck fuck
OH SHIITTTTTTTTTTT
FUCKING TITS
Are you fucking me
Well that just blew.
Great. Game over.
Aw fishsticks.
New pitcher, please.
Nice throw noodle arm.

Impersonating Chad Pennington.

And it's the broken bat that's the double.
This game: personified
I immediately regret my declaration of love for this guy.
Why the fuck would Texeira be smiling?!
He is the spy!

From Oakland!

I want to die
STOP SMILING BUCK
Thank goodness this game is almost over
Suddenly I see why maybe a 6 man bullpen is not a good idea
without a true long guy
LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE

LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE LEAGUE

I'm not sure I understand your message.
Why put the rookie in?? Someone PLEASE TELL ME??
He's our only long reliever
Game still tied, Texeira is the other long guy.
Eh, Im still wondering why Kelley was yanked. That seemed like a waste given we are using a six

man pen

Funny, our player's break bats in a different way
3rd year in a row?
Well this is disappointing.
The good news, with that broken bat, so was the soul of the A's broken.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :((((((((((((((
I wonder what Wak is saying right now
Throw the ball in such a way that no runs score
"I see you're playing baseball there."
What a pussy ass way to win a game. At least we didn't use our best pitchers, WAK
Yeah only a clown team would win in annoying fashion
FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK
First pitch. Walk off single. Here it comes.

Prepare.

Use the bullpen better Wak.
Wait why would you pitch to him
why is the rookie pitching??
Him being a rookie has nothing to do with anything.
This question was answered the first time you asked it.
Load the base, bring League in

AND DOUBLE PLAY!!!

Come on, get a strikeout!

SHOW THOSE BULLPEN FUCKERS.

Not a fan of this bullpen management!
Texeira needs work
Swap Wak for Bochy?

I hear that guy uses his bullpen well.

I'd walk Pennington
This isn't fitting unless they score on a pussy hit
Why are we not setting up the force at home?
This seems... suboptimal
I miss League.
SOMEBODY ELSE PITCHING PLEASE
why is the rookie pitching??
Why is Chewbacca pitching??
WHY DO YOU KEEP SAYING THAT
Because he's in our bullpen and is good
Adam Moore just said "aaa'eee'ooiouiaeiou"
FIND A DRANO FILLED EXTREMIST AND EAT IT WAK
Is this one of those situations that a IBB is actually a good idea?

Seeing as the A’s only need any type of hit and there’s only one out.

I think this is an unintentional IBB and they're trying to get the A's to squeeze
why is the rookie pitching??
YOU JUST ASKED THAT
Because you touch yourself at night
We have this whole win on Opening Day, lose on a walkoff the second day thing down.
WHY ARE WE PITCHING TO PENNINGTON
Well this inning isn't working out.
I think I'm going to turn this off now.

Send this guy back to the Yankees.

OK 2-0 JUST WALK THE BASTARD
Why the fuck do you do a pitchout in that situation?
If they're running a suicide squeeze, the runner on third is gone.
The first time might have been guessing on the squeeze
Boo so late.
why is the rookie pitching??
BECOME INTIMATE WITH A SERRATED BAYONET AND THEN PULL THE TRIGGER OF THE THING SAID BAYONET IS ATTACHED TO
I think this might injure him
We showed you by not letting you steal home!
5.55600 kilometers
This might be an unintentional intentional walk

Pretty much just pitch around and see if he swings at junk…

Stop wasting time
Okay so they're just going to throw him junk to try to catch the runner at third

Makes sense

THIS PITCHING IS SO GREAT
Why not just intentionally walk the guy if you're going to unintentionally intentionally walk him?
Intentional walk on pitchouts

Interesting

why is the rookie pitching??
STOP FUCKING ASKING

IT’S BEEN ANSWERED

YOU ARE WORSE THAN MAGIC MIKE
Why is the rookie posting?
I'm seriously afraid here
What the fuck were we doing there?
Fuck Hawaii
If we don't get a DP I'm going to break things.
I'd take a force at home
Bring in League.

Please?

The ol intentional unintentional walk
That was the most random walk ever
BRING IN FUCKING LEAGUE YOU SHITFUCK ASSHOLES
Can Texeira miss bats?
Yea, let's pretend to pitch to him.
HERE WE GO

RAJ-DAWG CAN GIDP WITH THE BEST OF THEM

why is the rookie pitching??
Why is the rookie catching?
I think you need to ask this a few more times.
GO FUCKING DIE
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?!!
WALK IN THE WINNING RUN GO!
I'm supposed to be writing a paper right now.
THROW STRIKES, COCKFUCK
oh vomit on my dick
Serious K-Tex allergy, huh.
Ugh

This game is balls now. :p

Walk Walk-Off

This is so easy to predict.

That's exactly what I was thinking
Great, now he forgot how to throw strikes.
DON'T WALK HIM TOO
I'm confused by the events that transpired in that at-bat
Looks like I picked the wrong season to stop sniffing glue
Swinging strike!
Thank you Alfonzo
Thanks Alfonzo
STRIKE OUT THIS RETARD
Double play. Lets GO!!
This is not going to end well
That walk raised our WE by 1%
Incremental improvement!
1-1 HERE COMES THE SUN
Thank god he didn't catch that.
How is the rookie pitching???
Like a really bad pitcher.
Probably scores if he catches that.
Lets go lets go
Ahhh.. That would have been sweet.
OK 1-2 HERE WE GO GO GO
YESSSSSSSSS FUCK YESSS
Oooh sexy.

One more.

OMGOGMOGMGOMGOGM"OMG
SUCK ON THAT OAKLAND
Wow. What the hell just happened?
FUCKING KKKKKKK!!!! YEAH!
FEAR THE BEARD
Oh shit Niehaus liked that strike out
ALOHA AND MAHALO
Holy shit, he struck him out!
good he didnt catch that runner would have tagged
K

Now we’re really doomed.

TEX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THATS WHY THE ROOKIE IS PITCHING

FUCK

That was a good result
Sit on it, Casey
YES!!!!

S NAP!!! RAH!!!

CLUTCH

Kanekoa Texeira has proven to me that it exists.

Wow. I am in shock.

How do you swing at that?!

It's Rajai Davis.
HAWAII IS PART OF AMERICA!
Neck beard filth
If Rob Johnson is catching the game is over now
FUCK YEA lets go
okay my nervousness is up to a ridiculous level at this point
YES YES YES YES YES YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Who is the rookie pitching???
That looked like a strike
ESPN Gamecast says both of the first pitches were strikes.
NO WALK THIS GUY!
GET DARIC BARTON
NO DAMMIT NO
OK PITCH TO CONTACT DON'T TRY TO STRIKE HIM OUT
Please God don't go to 3-0...
How are these balls?
That looked like a ball.
No walk off walk, please.
Ugh. Don't walk in the loss, dude.

Don’t be that guy.

Strikeout put us to 33%
Do win expectancy percentages change by the pitch or the at-bat?
That first pitch was such a strike.
THROW IT OVER THE FUCKING MIDDLE OF THE PLATE AND LET GUTZ CATCH IT AT THE TRACK
Let's get this over with
Walking in the run is really anti-climactic, we're trying to take the joy away from the A's
First ninth inning butterflies of the season.
Barton has no intention of swinging
TRY SWINGING FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE, BARTON
Throw strikes, we have the best defense in baseball
Daric Barton looks like he should be wearing a sweater around his neck right now
Well Barton sucks with the bases loaded.

Yay 12 AB!

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR YOU WANT TO WALK HIM!?! WALK HIM!!
Gimme strike, NOW
OH THANK GOD
AHHHHHHHHHHHH
Oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck
I'm going to pass out.
This is great.
Oh God

Just lob it and let Gutz catch it.

STOP DOING THAT TEXEIRA
PLEASE GOD NO WALKOFF WALK
This is making my heart hurt.
WE'RE BONED!
BEDARD WILL BE READY TO BE ACTIVATED TOMORROW, RIGHT?
I think I have to close my eyes.
COME ON YOU PORTUGUESE JEW
Fail.
Texiera's etymology if Portuguese and most specifically Portuguese of Jewish descent.

So suck my left one sunshine.

Yeah but it's stupid and not amusing, cupcake.
For the love of God stop trying to pick fights.
You're being an asshole and should stop.
Yes it is

Nobody cares what you think. Go the fuck away.

You're going to fucking hate this website so do yourself and all of the rest of us a favor and go away
Sweet Jesus
I love this website!
Stop being a flaming douche and people will put up with you
Well I'm very happy for you.
Stop trolling and being a dick.

It’s annoying when you do it at FG, it’s annoying when you do it here.

FG has essentially become unreadable IMO
It's readable, just not fun.
It needs Jeff Sullivan to take it over.
Or abender to stop trying to be a doctor.
Jesus.

When I (of all people) tell you to shut the FUCK up, you should take note.

What did I do that was so bad?
When asked to respect the site rules you acted like a petulant twat and proceeded to try to pick fights.
I didn't break site rules. You were talking to someone else.
No unwarranted hostility is a site rule
Sorry if I take offense to "jew" but you can't call that unwarranted.
If you think that was bad (it was an atymology joke for Christ's sake)

you should really leave now.

If something is funny, it doesn't bother me.

When Jeff makes comments, it’s funny. And really, all I said was “fail.”

Sorry for being hostile.

Passive-aggressive sniping also counts as unwarranted hostility.
You are just mad because I disagreed with you on FG regarding the Whitehurst trade.

Right?

Why bring arguments over here?
We make far worse jokes than that here and if you get offended by jokes of that nature there are plenty of other Mariners blogs on the internet
Yeah but I come here, and have been for a while, for Jeff and Matthew (and Graham and Jon).. I don't even know who the fuck you are.
If you don't like the comments then stick to the front page posts.

Plenty of other people do.

If you don't know who OlSalty is you haven't been reading the comments for very long.
He posts like all the time

What the heck

OlSalty's kind of one of the king spammers on LL, dude.
Somebody that Jeff and Matthew like very much.
You don't really have to know who we are

You just have to follow the rules, and the writers can’t be here all the time moderating every single comment so oftentimes the regulars will try to remind the new people.

Remind them or tell them to leave?
We are nice to begin with.

When people don’t respond to nice we tell them to leave. This isn’t rocket science.

You know who else was nice to begin with?
The jews!
Really, please stop and take a break.

You’re not doing much right now to endear yourself to anyone here.

Dude, get over yourself.
Be less of a raving cock sore
You were reminded nicely, then proceeded to act like a dickrag over someone correcting you

That tells us you don’t really give two shits about following the rules. And if that’s the case then yeah, you can go away.

What rules did I break?

Hostility? Dude, I’m the least hostile person ever.

I would be tickled if we could just end this subthread
It looks like you'd break in two if you were tickled.

Three shirts and still look like a holocaust victim? You must be super self-conscious.

Okay, now ban me. Thanks!

I haven't read nearly enough of tonight's game thread to know what your deal is so let's all just shut up and move on
Contrary to popular belief, Jew is not always a racial slur.

Sometimes it is merely a description of a person’s background.

And also the easily offended part.

That's true, but "dirty Irishman" is always a racial slur.
Yes, when connected with the proper adjective it is.
Exactly.

And is there a more proper adjective for Irishman than “dirty”?

`
No politics, no religion, no chatspeak (e.g. lol, ur, brb, +1), no trolling and no unwarranted hostility. Please capitalize and use comprehensible grammar.
What is wrong with you
Did I miss your debut? Ugh.
I like cupcakes.
I believe the proper terminology is "Sepharidic Jew".

Anti-semite.

Just throw a 85 mph fastball down the middle
Make him beat you, Tex
Throw fucking strikes
AHH! Throw a strike.
Guarantee you Barton takes.
Don't don't don't
tick tick tick..
1-161

This worked last night.

This sucks for Texeira.
Just throw a cookie.
Subject of meeting:

Throw a strike

DO IT SAYID
Clutch Lost reference

I actually laughed out loud when I saw this. I figured you deserved to know.

Non-stop pickoff moves!
LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS MORE

WHAT DO YOU THINK? SHOULD HE THROW A STRIKE?

CAN WE PUT KELLEY BACK IN
FUCKING MLBTV TIMED OUT WAHT IS HAPPENIGN

I take back most of the things I just said about you.
We escaped somehow.

I am amazed.

That just improved our win chance to 103%.
WHY WOULD YOU EVER SWING THERE

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Oh, dear God....

FUCK YES YES YES YES YES YES

That's kinda gross.
I HOPE ALL OF OUR GAMES ARE LIKE THIS
I HOPE YOU PAY FOR MY ULCER MEDICATION
I CAN'T RESPOND TO THAT COMMENT WITHOUT BREAKING SEVERAL RULES
ARGH DON'T YOU SEE THAT YOU SAYING THIS IS THE SAME AS YOU SAYING THE THINGS THAT BREAK THE RULES
NO SINCE THERE WERE SEVERAL POSSIBLE DIRECTIONS I COULD HAVE TAKEN IT, ALL OF WHICH BROKE RULES

I DID NOT SPECIFY WHICH ONE

Holy shitballs.

I’m shaking. Win it for the dude someone.

THANK YOU FOR BEING AN IDIOT DARIC

I owe you one.

Holy shit, I can't believe we didn't just lose the game

This kid has never pitched above AA ball and he gets out of that mess

OK Hawaii you're cool again
MORE BASEBALL FOR EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HOLY SHIT! SHIT JUST FLEW OUT OF MY ASS IN TO THAT RECEPTICLE!
I just figured out that I can skip 100% of these comments
I had a few pretty sweet puns earlier that are worth a looksie.
NO! SHIT SHIT SHIT! WE SUCK! WAIT! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! WE'RE AWESOME!

(recap)

Is I-minus an appropriate nickname or is it too thief like?
God is real!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And he does love the homeless and their look alikes!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE BASEBALL!!
I WILL HAVE SEX WITH YOU
THAT'S WHY THE ROOKIE WAS PITCHING, YOU ARSE
that was exhilarating!
SOMEONE RAPE THAT BUFFALO
RAPE THE MOON TOO
Guys i think i seriously just shit my pants after that
"Hey guys we could win this!"

Best half inning of the game?

Byrnes needs to come through here.
Did somebody say sexxxtras?? ;)
I like this guy. Good find Z
Back to 50% WE

Let’s fucking roll. DEFY THE ODDS OH BASEBALL GODS

LET'S SEND IT INTO OVERTIME!
Extra innings.
Buffalo Wild Wings disagrees
Wak is a fucking master mind!
Why is this rookie pitching?
If this becomes a meme I'm going to kill myself
I say we kill it already.
I will murder the families of people who repeat this line before offing myself, however.
It's already dead
Good news for me!
I don't want it to become one either
We should refrain from making that a thing.
Okay this guy blows. Score a run!
Edwar looks like a fucking alien.
Is it Edwar?
I just peed my pants.
That made my sphincter twitch a little bit.
We need an eXXXXXXXXtras thread
Haha

“Edwar, without the ‘d’…”

First extra inning game in MLB, isn't it?
Byrnes thought that foul ball was a pop-up.
he was just playing the odds
Edwar's an Athletic now what the hell
I think he changed teams at least twice.
I thought Edwar threw nothing but 100MPH?
Wrong reliever evidently.
Hahahahaha.

He hit a groundball and looked straight up.

HAHAHAHAHA BYRNES

I like how he looked up like it was a pop up and was surprised that it went off to the side instead.

First thing Byrnes did after he swung?

Looked straight up in the air. Hahaha

There is something wrong with Byrnes.
He is a retarded gazelle
So now we play who has more pitchers.
They do
Damn, we lost that game.
Edwar "Without the D" Ramirez looks nice immediately after LP:
Anyone else think Byrnes looks like Pedro Cerrano out there?

Those low breaking balls are TORCHING him.

Except he cannot hit straightball very much.
I swear, he tried to turn that into a strike by kneeling.
Byrnes doesn't just suck, he actively tries to destroy his team.
He held off that one, I starting to think he was Michael Saunders...
My urinary and GI tracts were unaffected.
mine were greatly affected
Hey, Ningwers
Hey!

The eastern time zone sucks ass. This had better not go on too much longer.

Sadly the assholes with the bats in their hands have other plans...
I am so sorry :(
Makes ME happy to see you around though.
Likewise!

I’m just counting down the days until the semester ends and I’m free to watch baseball on a regular basis.

I hope the days fly by for you.
I hate the name Edwar
Groundout! Progress
Fricking Byrnes
Extras? Already?
You know it
EXTRAS!
Boringstras :(
I couldn't even handle innings 6-9. And I come back to this?
Would anyone like to get a hit?

Anyone?

Why does Adam Moore swing at everything. Take a pitch bud.
Annnnnnd Jack Wilson.

Who is pitching next inning?

I assume they will stick with the rookie, can't blow through the whole pen tonight
PLEASE HAVE BASERUNNERS AND DRIVE THOSE BASERUNNERS IN PLZ OKAY
HIT A DINGER YOU UGLY BASTARD
DON'T WORRY, HE WILSON
This is why Jeff cannot skip all the comments.
I like to leave him little nuggets of goodness.

Like coming home after leaving the rabbit loose in your bedroom.

We need this win before we face Duchscherer (sp?) tomorrow
I thought he was injured?
Most times of the year, you'd be right.
This game could use more Rob Johnson
That is something I never thought I'd ever see in print.
God that kid swings at everything.
There are more people in this game thread

Than there are actually AT the game.

Haha

So true, so true

That place is packed.
I don't like that Jack Wilson is allowed to own a baseball bat.
Jack Wilson has to homer at some point.
Lean into that you sissy.
Well...

At least Ichiro leads off the top of the 11th…

Just let it hit you, Jack!
Lean into it Jack
Turn into that, Jack!
I can't believe Jack Wilson used to hit 2nd for the Pirates.
I can.

Easily.

I love the Safe.
OH GOD NOT AGAIN
Did he actually get it this time?
Cool hair Byrnesy
DAMMIT RAJAI DAVIS
FUCK YOU RAJAI
I don't like Rajai Davis
I don't like Rajai Davis.
Rally hair. Oh yes.
FUCK GOOD DEFENSE WHEN IT'S AGAINST US
Wonder if he actually caught that one
Well that was annoying as hell
Oh my Byrnes your hair is ridiculous
Ah well. Almost.
Damn, nice catch
NOT a trap this time
I swear if that was another trap...
Gutz!

Oh, wait a sec…

Whatever umps you fucking owe us one
Well, that's a fish
FUCK RAJAI DAVIS

WHAT THE FUCK KIND OF NAME IS RAJAI ANYWAY?

A future pedophiles.
DON'T FUCK WITH THE JESUS
Eight-year-olds, dude.
I don't like RAJAIIIIIII either
Who the hell said other teams could have good defense?
In play, Out(s)
That would have been a nice time for a make-up call
Byrnes hair = awesome
I would hate Rajai more if he didn't K last inning.
Just means Ichiro homerun.
Aardsma in

Game extended!

Why doesn't Wak pinch hit?
Unless the pinch hitter is really good and the hitter is really bad, there's little to gain
Since players generally take a huge performance hit when they come off the bench
Jack Wilson fits the really bad part
There's not a really good to complement him though
We don't currently have a backup Shortstop.
Wasn't 2010

supposed to be the year of short M’s games?

We're in extra innings after only 2 1/2 hours.
Unlike Yankees/Sox games that last 3 1/2 hrs
Yeah, it's not exactly Yankees/Red Sox
Maybe he's settled in now....
STRIKE THE FUCK OUT YOU NON-HUGGING SWEENEY
Wish granted!
WOO I'M MAGIC!!!
Quick, wish something else!
DIE OF AIDS YOU NON-MARINER SUZUKI
I don't know about this.
Gamedays so fucking slow
I Love You Texiera
Now that Tex got all those butterflies out it'll be nothing but smooth sailing...

Oh wait.

At least he misses low.
HOLY CRAP WHO IS THAT BIG FUCKER? IS THAT TEIXEIRA?
New nickname - The Big Fucker
FUCK YEAH IT IS!
It's the ghost of Carlos Silva...

Come to haunt us!

I guess you lose a lot of weight when you die.
You missed the incredibly dramatic ninth inning I take it?
I left for the last 3 innings
Never mind, you get to see a replay now.
They should remove the foul screen in Oakland.

It would lend an air of excitement to the games.

KAMEHAMEHA BITCHES
No way is he only 190 lbs
KANEKOA K!!!!!
Yup. Alotta K's in that Hawaiian language,
Hmm not bad.
Back on the Beardwagon.
I think I'm going to like this big fucker
I'm hoping Teixera gets an easy popup.

So that it will be a KenaKoarn for Ichiro.

Thats a strike
Texeira is pleasantly good at this pitching thing
Look at that pitch. Its sick.
10,090 was that paid attendance apparently

Sad.

Angels have an out in the bottom of the 9th, none on, they need 2
I hope they get 1 and with the bases loaded fail miserably
YUNI WOULD'VE MADE THAT
Look worse I mean.

Would’ve made that look worse.

You are correct and I have awarded you a gold star
Eh, not bad.
Lots of balls are going past Wilson

Overrated I say!

Fucker Jeter'd it.
SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT
Is there anyone left in the bullpen?
Aardsma, White, League, all of whom pitched yesterday.
This is why I don't understand taking Kelley out when we did.
They were stretching him out as a potential 5th starter in ST weren't they?
Not really, they already had too many internal candidates
Ok, thought I'd read they bumped him up to 60 pitches towards the end.
Yeah, but like Brett was saying, it's more for long relief work so we can go with a six man bullpen then actual starting work
I don't think it was to be a starter, I think it was just to make the 6 man pen work more smoothly
Suzuki AB music brought to you by the year 2005
Ruh Roh Suzuki GW home run time.
Not 'til next inning.
People still say "ruh roh"?
We scored our run on a balk and a wild pitch

GET GRIFFDAWG IN THE GAME ALREADY

Wilson, you gotta get those...we didn't bring you here for your bat
Well good thing this game isn't as scary as last night's or anything
Were there masks and clowns at last night's game?
It isn't exciting till the bases are loaded for Kanekoa
I guess I have to learn to spell Texeira.
Beltre would have gotten that.
Here we go again.
FUCKING BULLOCKS
These hits are kind of shitty.
I want League.
Texeira's definitely exciting.
I've never seen someone give up 4 hits on weaker contact.
Please just take him out before my heart gives out
Dammit, Tex, no-one said encore!
BRANDON LEAGUE TIME!
Even when he fields a single to the outfield, Byrnes looks like an ass.

I HATE HIM

Fucking christ stop finding all the holes you fucking ground balls.
Tex going for the Washburn award of most LOB?
Bring in someone not named Kanekoa Texiera or Sean White please
Let's bring in Miguel Batista!
But one of these things is good.
GODAMMIT KANEKOA STOP RUINING MY BLOOD PRESSURE
Why is no one warming up?!!?!?
I hate Eric Chavez. I remember him wrecking the M's back in the day.
Same with Blalock, my how the mighty have fallen.
I wish this said Bocock
The only thing he wrecks now are his own dreams.

I’m jinxing things, aren’t I.

Not this again.
I'm continually amazed at how awkward Eric Byrnes makes everything look.
It's a little endearing. I guess.
Gameday sucks.
Yeah, pretty much
Not when you consider the alternatives.
LAMEST. PICK OFF MOVE. EVER.

Just don’t try, Kane. Just don’t

Sims: "Tough hombre here in Eric Chavez"
I want to like you, Texeira, but you need to make it easier on me.
IF WE LOSE THIS GAME I'M GOING TO BOMB PEARL HARBOR
But then you're gonna get nuked.
I'LL BLAME THE WHALES
Gotta nuke something.
I'LL NUKE PEARL HARBOR
I think someone already beat you to that
Graham was fast no one ever saw it coming.
We cannot allow Eric Chavez to beat us
Well, he's just adorable. Can he pitch?
ANGELS LOSE!
YES, now we better win, we need all of those we can get for the next week
Didn't Eric Patterson get drafted like one year ago?
Tell me someone is warming
Let's not have the bases loaded again please
SWITCH THE HAWAIIAN FOR THE OTHER HAWAIIAN
ONLY JESUS CAN SAVE US NOW!
Jesus Colome?
Moore says,

throw strikes

This just in: Tex is sponsored by Tums and is doing this to get a contract extension
Texiera in a tie game sucks
"Imagine the SIZE of those butterflies in the belly of Kanekoa Texeira."

What are you saying, Rizzs?

That was not playable
Why would Sims lie to us?
Damnit Dave!

Don’t say “playable” unless it’s fucking playable!

There was an insignificant chance of that foul ball hitting someone
I just got really excited when i saw the popup
Eric Chavez still makes me angry.
Yea...

I was explaining to my wife how he used to be a HUGE Mariner-Killer

What did Kimberly say?
It was worse when he was good. But yeah.
NO WHAMMY NO WHAMMY NO WHAMMY
Press your luck!

So weird that you said that. Just talked about that show at work today, couldn’t think of the name, had to google it when I got home.

!

I finally got it.
I don't understand this at all
It's things Aston Villa will never win.
I'm sorry shouldn't you be giving an oil millionaire a rim job?
He's moved up to oil millionaires?
He thinks he likes Man City
This is on hold until they don't buy Portscum
So you'll like Arsenal and lick Russian mobsters assholes.

Still just as hairy.

Possibly Everton
I support this.
But only if they take Donavon off my hands forever
I really can't interest you in Spurs, can I.
Don't be silly, he's an anti-semite
Oh, I didn't know that. Bummer.
Well I just naturally assumed he was an anti-Semite.

He’s Robert.

In my defense its less anti-semite and more I just like to annoy as many people as possible.
So you're a United fan?
I have a tiny bit of dignity left so no.
So you're a Liverpool fan?
The flaw in this argument is that Liverpool fans have any dignity left.
The colors always looked too similar to ManU when my EPL brain was still forming though I do loves meselves some Carlsberg.
You have no idea how much I want you to become a Liverpool fan
Never going to happen.
Glad to hear it.
Well, if you're going to root for a team based on beer...

Newcastle United is headed back to the Premiership next season.

Liverpool are no longer sponored by Carlsberg!

Starting next season, anyway.

Speaking of which...

Newcastle’s fans are called the Toon Army, which is based on how Geordies would say “town army”, and by the way the Geordie accent is the 2nd most impenetrable one in the UK to one in Scotland whose name escapes me right now.

Glaswegian?
THANK YOU.

That is correct. Even that crap that Brad Pitt was doing in “Snatch” (Irish Traveler) is easier to understand than those guys, and ITs are trying to be obscure.

The #1 reason to not get into the Spurs is...

…they’re managed by Harry Redknapp, who is like the Isiah Thomas of the EPL. Maybe not as bad of a coach, but he is hugely responsible for where Portsmouth is right now. He’s a carpet-bagging jerkwad.

Don't start with me on Spurs, son
Fuck Everton.

The correct answer is Fulham. They play in London and even wear Yankees-like colors, but they aren’t a top-table team so nobody can call you a front-runner. Also, they’re owned by the dude whose son died in the Lady Di car crash.

Fulham is a solid choice.

Although I’d leave out the bit about the Yankees.

Plus, American Dempsey.

Who is awesome.

Who cares about Yankees-like colors?

Ugh. I don’t hate Fulham, but I don’t like the “the correct answer is” attitude. He’ll like whoever he wants.

He will, of course.

But he will become a terrorist unless he roots for the Cottagers. Which, by the way, is the other reason they are awesome. Their stadium is called Craven Cottage.

Diana was an annoying frilly bitch whose death ruined the first that I had cable at my home in my life
Dodi Al-Fayed's dad is like half Donald Trump, half Osama bin Laden.

And he owns Fulham!

You've really got to work on your sales pitch.
Agreed.

Plus, what doesn’t Mohamed Al-Fayed own.

Not sure...

But it does appears that he owns Juventus.

Dude, it's English Premier League football.

You’re not going to root for a team based on location, are you? Root for the craziest guys in the land!

On a slightly more serious note, Roy Hodgson is a genius, fantastic at taking one of the smallest draws in the EPL and not only making it into a mid-table team but giving them a chance at winning the Europa Cup this year. AND they were in the final 8 in the FA Cup.

Portsmouth are in the semi-finals of the FA Cup!
Yeah, I love Fulham

Despite the fact that they play like 12 yards away from Stamford Bridge. Al-Fayed is fucking crazy though.

Blame that on Chelsea!

Who actually play in Fulham. I went to London twice last year and was one bit of poor bus etiquette away from seeing the Cottage. Stupid me.

I wish he would't.

The Arsenal thing. I don’t care whose asshole he licks.

Arsenal are as consistently disappointing as the Mariners

It’s a perfect fit

Arsenal have won lots of championships
And their manager's name is Arsene.

Which is beyond awesome.

No, Arsene Wegner is a fucking pile of shit and he's quickly becoming irrelevant.

He needs to die.

I agree that he's an ass.

But he has a cool name.

Until he shuts the fuck up I hate everything about him
It wouldn't be Arsene Wenger if he wasn't bitching about refs not showing cards.
I like Robert. I despise Arsenal. I don't want him supporting them
Isn't giving Pompey a silly nickname adding insult to injury?

I mean, they’re already about to get wound up at season’s end.

He's talking about the Timbers
Never mind then!

Timbers sux

Although at this point Pompey might be cheaper.
Better uniforms and chants
You mean you weren't a fan of the racial chants that TA used during the player introductions at the charity shield
Why no I don't believe I was
It'd be awesome to have an EPL club in Portland.
Yeah bring him in!
I want to get it
Are you saying you want the Mariners to bring in Doug "Wayne Rooney" Fister?
I get it

However the sight of anything Champions League today makes me sad

That would make me more comfortable
m's need a dp rite here
Just what I needed

another pitcher who induces heartburn.

At least LA lost...
Quick! Use the 1% off-speed

Catch him off guard!

You make me want to kill myself Byrnes.
Who would want to kill spiderman?
Well that looked scary off the bat.
Wow, what a noodle arm.
Well that was scary.
Wowwwwwwwww
YEAH SOCKS NICE CATCH DUDE
WAY TOO FUCKING CLOSE
Aaaaaahhhhhhh
That was far too scary off the bat.

Fuck me.

YES!

One more…

Mark Ellis sucks let's get him.
Sick catch and throw
That was the most nerve-wracking routine fly ball ever
Well that looked heartbreaking
Phew, damn Byrnes does have some hair
Byrnes is so fucking weird.

My God.

Patterson tags and holds... while Byrnes looks like a dick throwing the ball in once more.

Seriously, I have never wanted to punch a Mariner more since Rey Quinones left town.

I hate Mark Ellis so much
Holy fuck hurry up and get this fucker out
If we make it to the 11th, we'd better do something.

Make them suffer, not us.

Mark Ellis looks like a midget up there next to Moore
Come on Tex!!!
FUCK MY DICKHOLE
FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK
FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well fuck.
FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!
WELL FUCK ME!
Well that sucks
CAN WE SEND HIM BACK TO THE YANKEES YET?
Mark Ellis.

Shit.

Mark Ellis.

You are fucking shitting me, right?

FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Thank Wak

way to burn Kelley for an innings, fuckface

SEASON OVER

Well, it was a nice try but there’s no way the M’s can win it now.

No surprise there.

Let’s get’em tomorrow.

Well, that's a ball kicker
Texeira gives up one well-struck ball in his entire outing, and gets the loss.
I HATE YOU MARK ELLIS
I hate this team!
Seriously, throwing a meatball when you're up 0-2?
That was like 5 inches off the ground
It wasn't a good pitch in that scenario
Not disagreeing, but it was pretty far from a meatball
Mark Ellis is fucking stupid
FUCK US LAST PLACE
Motherfucking cunt.

Fuck Hawaii.

I will NOT celebrate you asshole song selector
Great Tex. Perfect season gone.
SON OF A BITCH
Hmmpph

0-2 count throw it in the dirt

Be right back.

I’m gonna go kill myself

Awesome celebration
all 300 going crazy!
Get ready for a season of this guys.
THANKS FOR THE HEADS UP
Any chance you could tell me next week's Lottery numbers?
Go suck a back of razor lined dildos dickface.
Please stop, it's the second game of the season.
Might as well just kill myself now, then.
At least the Angels lost...

Fuck it, that sucked balls.

Not making it feel any better right now.
There are more happy people on the field than in the stands.
So, we aren't very good at this 2nd game of the year thing.
I hope Ellis gets an itchy disease from fucking his dog.
Exited out of mlb.tv.

Not watching their celebration

It was lame anyway.
You're missing out on all the casual high fives
I just looked away

didn’t even have to mute.

I need to find a baby to choke.
But seriously, why burn Kelley and Lowe for an inning while throwing Tex to the wolves in a high-leverage situation?

I love you Wak, but stop doing things like this, please.

STOP THAT KING

HE IS GOING TO GIVE CHOLESTEROL TO MIDDLE AGED WOMEN

USE HIS KING POWERS TO RAPE THAT STUPID BUFFALO FROM THAT OTHER COMMERCIAL
I am just baked enough.
That could have ended in more enjoyable fashion
Tex needed to be out of there

ridiculous

Weak.

But I bet the 10 people in the stands loved it.

Time to take a hit.
Thanks for the update
And by that I mean nobody cares about your bong rips
What a fucking pathetic showing from our offense.
What offense?
Must be watching a different team.
Jack Wilson?
Dallas Braden?
Braden was pretty good, though.
I am going to need a lot of TUMS this season.
Perhaps we can get a bulk discount
The 1st two sentences of Dave's recap

Will make your head hurt

Damn, he gets those things out quickly.
He gets his edits in almost as quick
So, what's the most efficient way to acquire uranium?
Mining
Where might I locate one of these uranium mines?
Their easily noticed by their explosive nature and flying human body parts.
West Virginia has some good sturdy mines.
From the planet Pandora.
IF BRADLEY DOESN'T GET A HIT TOMORROW

I will break a baseball bat.

Those things are pretty sturdy.

Maybe you can just throw it at a pigeon.

Dave types like 8000 words per minute
Game Over

Season Over, don’t even bother

No hope......uhhhhhhhhh
Fuck the Key to the Game.
Teix didn't do that bad.

Can’t win games without hitting the damn ball. Tomorrow is a new day.

THERE'S NO I IN TEX DAMNIT
IS THIS SUPPOSED TO BE SOME MORAL ABOUT TEAMWORK
NOT INITIALLY BUT ONCE I TYPED IT I REALIZED HOW BRILLIANT IT WAS SO YES.
WELL OKAY THEN.
Even Dave's misspelling it.
Damn. I hate Baseball.
What in the flying fuck is Wak thinking
This game has thrown me into deep depression
How did you survive 2008?
Extreme denial.

In fact I’m pretty sure there wasn’t baseball in 2008.

I've only just bounced back.
NOT INITIALLY BUT ONCE I TYPED IT I REALIZED HOW BRILLIANT IT WAS SO YES.
fuck me not hitting the reply button. guhhhhh
Somebody please give me a list of offenders or offending comments so I can moderate this game thread later
Corco started it.
He's busy typing out the milepost list now

Someone sidetracked him.

I know that much
Hehe. I made friends!
Here you go Jeff.
You seem like you suck
Well there goes the man-crush!
I behaved, boss.
Kentroyals5
MagicMike23 did his best to keep the GT's in line but he couldn't do it all by himself
IT WAS TERRIBLE
Kevin Casey asked what we were all thinking.
I'm a motherfuckin team playa
You did jackshit
Would be funnier is you had said jack it
Poochie's right
I don't remember acting up but Fogel never lies so I guess its time to turn myself in
Sure don't
Its why I have campaigned for your modship for quite sometime.
But I would just snitch on you
I would probably deserve it.
There were a few newbies that acted up.

I was prickish a couple times, but for the most part tried to restrain myself. The new season always brings in a flood of newbies, some of whom don’t bother to read the LL rules, and act shocked when we ask them to follow them.

E-Lizz was cool, magistermike or whatever the one that isn't MagicMike is was cool, LL 1.0 guy screwed up at first but is fine now

All the other new guys suck, unless I’m forgetting somebody

Damn.
You were cool too
You're fine.

Keep posting!

I like E-Lizz a lot.

There’s a couple other guys I hope stick around, they followed the rules and didn’t piss anyone off. The ones that didn’t can bugger off.

I'm shocked you asked me to follow them.
I'm not actually going to moderate anything btw
With Graham gone you have no bad cop
Pick me pick me!
Matthew?
Not ethnic enough
No Chatspeak please

Here at LoL we take things pretty seriously

No chatspeak please
I approve of your use of chatspeak and request you do so more frequently int he future
Goddamn I look good in this reflection!
Bullpen usage was questionable--Kelley could've gone another, Lowe probably could've too. Don't mind Tex though, and he pitched well, just got unlucky.

Gotta wonder why Wak didn’t pinch hit for Jack Wilson in the 10th either. Yeah, Tui would have to play short, but letting Wilson hit seems like a move to not lose instead of going for the win in the 10th.

So glad a whole 10,000 people came out to see the Athletics win
you added three zeros too many to that total
*4500 people

10,000 came out to see the Athletics tie.

Damn, Dave Cameron is a fucking robot of efficiency with these recaps.

He probably types as fast as he speaks.

He pre-caps
I kinda figured as such

Most beat writers pretty much have the story written before the game actually ends.

Out of curiosity, do you have the same method with your recaps, or do you mostly write up the whole thing spontaneously?

I have never precapped
You can still get pregnant from pre-cap.
The mind boggles
This sounds like a question that we should ask Ms. Jeff before we are 100% sure.
Somehow some way, this loss is all Eric Byrnes's fault
You misspelled Rob Johnson.
Bradley hasn't helped much

But then, neither did Figgins with the bat. Just a bad night.

I'm really pulling for Bradley tomorrow

mainly because i’m afraid he’ll go ape shit if he doesn’t get a hit

Exactly.

Everyone wants that.

I kind of want to see him go apeshit
Maybe for one game...
Horray somebody to join me in my unbridled hatred for Eric Byrnes!
I can't get over how little the Griffey bobblehead looks like Griffey
Not as bad as the 08 Beltre
He's a Mex
Racist!
Comes a point when you kick so much ass at commenting that you can say blatantly racist things whenever you want and no one can do dick
I'm just calling a spade a spade.
AND DON'T YOU START
The reason I miss game threads is that I haven't been called racist in at least 3 moths
Anti-insectian.
I'm still pissed we got that chink out in right field
OVER THE LINE
I love the chinks
They're fuckin up our defense
FOR THE LAST TIME A NIP IS NOT A CHINK
This is a chink-in-the-armor joke
That's more of a pun
No offense, but puns are Portugese and Jewish in nature.
Oh and I'm the racist...
"A" racist.

Not necessarily “the” racist. Japanese people are also racist.

No Poochie is the racist
Okay, I stand corrected.

…upon my copy of “The Protocol of the Elders of Zion”.

MARK IT ZERO!
He sure looks the part
I feel like we're going to see a shit ton of losses exactly like this one minus the extra innings.
Also, was that the most awkward Wak post-game interview ever?
What did he say?

I’m out of market

Made a quick statement about Braden being good

And then sat in silence as nobody asked any questions. He also has sweet hat hair.

Better than Byrnes?!
Oh jeeze. Awkward
It's Oakland. I'm surprised zombies didn't wander across the screen.
Not so much what he said.

After he finished talking, he sat there looking back and forth while nobody talked for ~ 10 seconds.

I would have run out of the room.

I can’t handle such awkwardness.

So, in other words:

“I have no idea why I thought running Kanekoa out there was a good idea. Um….can I go now?”

This loss sucked

hows that for groundbreaking analysis?

Dave Cameron was faster.
my blood pressure cant take this all year long, well fought game though.

I was very impressed with our pitching though. But seriously, we let the a’s beat us….
