Coco Crisp is taking quite a risk having a name that sounds like food and playing in the same park as Prince Fielder and Miguel Cabrera.

 

Would have been much worse for him if his name was Cap'n Crunch and the A's were playing the Yankees. It's the small victories that count.

It was dumb for Drew to try to get to third with no outs, but he would have been safe if not for the stupid rule that you can block the base before you even catch the baseball.

 

That is a silly rule. Do you have to just run them over and hope they drop it? Drew would've been killed trying to truck over Miggy.

Even if the Tigers win game 5, that loss really hurts their chances to get to the WS. They had Verlander set to pitch game 1 of the ALCS and would be sure to use him 2 or maybe 3 times. Now he won't be available until game 3 and he might only get to pitch once before their season ends.

Let's hope it won't go that far! Go As!

aaaaaw Papa Grande no dancy last night. so sad

 

Easily my most hated player in baseball right now. I enjoyed this tweet about the 9th inning rally and Papa Grande's pitches

This is not magic, by the way. It's a bunch of straight-as-a-strong 92-mph fastballs, which are infinitely better than magic.

Valverde in 12 career post-season games: 0-3, ERA of near 7 in 13.2 IP. Pressure is a b****.

 

3 of those post-season games were against the Cubs in 2007 when he pitched 3 scoreless innings. Apparently beating the Cubs in the playoffs is that easy.

Go in feet first and if Miggy doesn't get out of the way, bury the spikes in him.

 

GO A's :headbang
