Not going to get a bigger meatball than that

A's also have been sensational in extra inning games of late, I believe

Thornton throwing just a ton of offspeed pitches these days...I like it

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 11, 2012 -> 03:35 AM) No, I'm glad he didn't because I don't want him suspended either. But since he already knows he's not going to rush the mound, don't even look at him and take first base. Who knows, maybe they aren't fans of each other dating back to '05-'06?

QUOTE (Mr. Showtime @ Aug 11, 2012 -> 03:34 AM) I think Youk can use a few days off personally. Even with how he is going it's tough to lose him in the lineup. At the very least he will walk. I don't think he's close to being healthy due to all the nagging injuries of late.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 11, 2012 -> 03:33 AM) Is this Doolittle guy any good? He pisses me off. He's not bad, big time K numbers so far

QUOTE (Mr. Showtime @ Aug 11, 2012 -> 03:31 AM) De Aza steals 2nd base. Now is the time to knock him in, Youk. Not with how he's going. Swinging at all sorts of pitches out of the zone.

Good AB for Beckham. 1st and 3rd them ADA

How the hell did Austin Jackson hit an inside the park homer?

Saw this guy pitch a few weeks ago, and every pitch was a fastball

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 11, 2012 -> 03:23 AM) And my new whipping boy too, to boot. Good time for 2-week stretch of Tank carrying the team. Dunn's actually hit the ball hard 3 of his last 4 ABs

You have to wonder about Melvin leaving McCarthy in to start the inning. He looked really bad last inning, but we'll take it.

That's the exact pitch he's been missing so much of late. Awesome to see him finally time one.

HA! Way to go Tank

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 11, 2012 -> 03:18 AM) This game just feels like a loss. Hope I'm wrong. Just have to tie this game up. Crain looks really good of late

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Aug 11, 2012 -> 03:16 AM) from what ive seen in the past, aj does seems like a fake tough guy. like with the cubs incident , padilla drilling him,etc or he's smart and knows that getting a fight and getting suspended for 5 games would hurt the team way more than winning any fight would help the team?

Balta, that was from Wednesday's game

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 11, 2012 -> 02:10 AM) Merkin says Hawk left due to a family Issue Again?

Impressive by Septimo there

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 11, 2012 -> 02:01 AM) Tigers lead 4-2. Fielder just hit a three run homer. f***. WTF is Ron Washington doing? NOW he brings in the lefty, after Prince homers? Looking at the numbers, not letting Ross face Prince makes absolutely no sense.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 11, 2012 -> 02:01 AM) Tigers lead 4-2. Fielder just hit a three run homer. f***. Rally started by Dirks, of course. There's just no comparing the Tigers and White Sox lineup right now.

Way to make him pay for it...yuck. Bottom of the order needs to get the Sox going next inning, and the crappy thing is there's no one to PH tonight really (nice 24 man roster)

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 11, 2012 -> 01:58 AM) I wouldn't expect him to be. He hasn't pitched in two months. I agree, the only person who he's made really good pitches to has been Youk.

Maybe it's me, but McCarthy hasn't been very sharp tonight.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 11, 2012 -> 01:54 AM) I thought that ball went behind the pole. Nah, about 15 feet foul unfortunately
