Willie's 4th chance today with a man on 2nd.

Good call...Pods was beat by a pair of frames on the film.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 8, 2005 -> 07:18 PM) Willie better not be batting this inning! If there's a man on 2nd...we better pinch hit the Gooch. Please God. If someone gets hurt we still have Pablo as a backup.

NEAL COTTS IS A GOD. Keith Foulke...Billy Koch...eat your hearts out. We won that deal.

Tim-D'Oh has a 3 hit game...and he gets himself thrown out at 2nd.

Hell...even if Willie had tried to bunt on some of those 2 strike pitches I'd be happier...at least he'd have been trying.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jul 8, 2005 -> 06:59 PM) Where's that runs scored stat when ya need it. That run scored stat happens because we have guys who get PRODUCTIVE OUTS. YOU HERE THAT SECOND BASEMAN??? PRODUCTIVE OUTS. I bet you this game is at least tied if Iguchi is playing...Everett would have 2 sac flies. Nice play by the Viz-meister.

YES! No run scores on the high popout to Center

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 8, 2005 -> 06:54 PM) Vizcaino is back to throwing meatballs over the plate. Hitters look so comfortable against him at the dish. Hopefully, if this game gets out of hand, Jenks will come in. Luis has an ERA of 1.62 since the start of June

Tim-D'OH!

QUOTE(ChWRoCk2 @ Jul 8, 2005 -> 06:49 PM) hey stfu He's thrown 110 pitches already...he won't be out for this inning...hence he wont' be getting the win.

Man, another ball ripped right at another one of their infielders.

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Jul 8, 2005 -> 06:44 PM) We're asking Willie to hit a ground ball to the left side of the infield. That's it. Willie has come up with a man on 2nd and nobody out twice this game. He has failed to get the guy to 3rd both times. Everett flied out both times. Both would have been Sac flies if Willie could get a bunt down or hit the ball on the ground. Willie came up a 3rd time with 2 outs and a guy on 2nd and still couldn't do anything. That's 3 times with a guy on 2nd, and no results. That is intolerable. We should at least have gotten 1 of those 3. All it took 2 of those times was a productive out.

Ok...we have got to get some runs this inning for the big guy.

Damnation...How the Hell has he gotten them THAT CLOSE to the line 2 at bats in a row???

This will be big Jon's 100th pitch of the night

Man...I was here in the first inning...no one in the chat room. I'm back in the 4th inning...no one in the chat room. Come on in folks.

Ball 4/base hit scottie

Not a bad way to start. 8 more of those and we've got ourself a postgame show.

In case anyone wants to know the A's Lineup: Kendall C Kotsay CF Crosby SS Chavez 3B Hatteburg DH Byrnes LF Johnson 1B Swisher RF Scutaro 2b

QUOTE(ChWRoCk2 @ Jul 8, 2005 -> 04:30 PM) hes everyones fav, id love him to play but he didnt hit well against oakland from what i recall and ozz tends to look at the stats as of late If that were true Timo wouldn't be in there...he's 0 for 6 against Sarloos.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Jul 8, 2005 -> 04:29 PM) I understand that he shouldn't play EVERY game, but we did have a day off yesterday, and Frank's been on a HR tear, + he always hits well at home. Not to mention he's my favorite hitter dammit!!!! He'll be in the lineup both Saturday and Sunday. He's my favorite hitter too. But the guy just returned from an injury that cost him the whole season, and his legs have been supposedly bothering him some since he came back. A pair of days off will certainly do well for the big guy. Remember 1 thing always...it's July. We need his bat far more in August than in July...perhaps more in September than in August...and CERTAINLY more in October than in any month before that. The very last thing we want to do is use him heavily now and then have something else break.

QUOTE(CubKilla @ Jul 8, 2005 -> 03:19 PM) Either stolen from or sold to by a country(s) having economic, security, and/or inventory problems, i.e., Russia, North Korea, African warlords, etc. I think I was sort of hoping there was at least 1 possible answer implied in my question. I really don't expect Afghan warlords to have access to that sort of stuff...I'd expect to only really start seeing it with a much more organized and well funded military.

Bayh would not win Indiana. Not a chance in Hell. Not only is the Presidential race always won by a Republican in Indiana...it's never even close. Usually you can tell if the Republican candidate will win in the nation based on whether he wins Indiana by 15 or 20 %.

Has Reifert ever gotten a lineup wrong before? This one seems just completely off the wall...
