With the way he's swung the bat tonight, you absolutely have to bring in Thornton. I can't believe we didn't have him warming up.

Wow, why would you throw a fastball there? And Ozzie, how in the hell is no one up in the pen? Gavin looks terrible this inning.

That's really bad communication, if true, about Gavin's last game. Is anyone even up in the pen?

How about a pitch out here?

Might be time to get the pen up. Two very hard hit balls this inning. Don't let this pansy go yard.

That was just pathetic by AJ. Giambi up in the 7th...he kills us in these situations.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 01:42 AM) Stupid OC. If he does a simple dive and flips it, it's a DP

Damn, A's catch a break. I thought OC should have made that play.

Rocket by Thome...too bad he didn't get elevation. PK will have a tough time avoiding the DP here.

3 premature stretches for Hawk tonight.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 02:32 AM) It's just a stupid, mediocre approach. You'd think a .561 average from Beckham might push him a bit. C'mon Fields, pick it up man! Just be grateful some teams are dumb enough to throw him offspeed pitches.

White men can't jump, so Anderson wouldn't have caught that.

Nice catch by Wise. It wasn't as close as he made it look, but he almost dragged it over.

How is Jorge Julio still in the majors. He just had a meltdown that likely caused the Brewers the game tonight. Not only that, but Volquez got hurt again. The Cubs will likely face Owings, Bailey, and Arroyo this weekend...ugh

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 02:27 AM) How does a 91 MPH fastball get by Fields when he has 2 strikes? Shouldn't he be short and protecting? HE CAN'T HIT A MEDIOCRE FASTBALL!

So yeah...what in the hell was KC thinking throwing Fields so many offspeed pitches? Also, Wise is giving us terrible at bats.

Nice call fathom

AJP or Wise is going to tie this game.

PK desperately needs a day off. Some pretty feeble swings tonight. Cahill's looking like Joe Mays or Chad Gaudin from 5 years ago.

And hear comes Hawk saying how much we struggle against a pitcher we've never seen before.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 02:07 AM) Can we call up Beckham for 1 game? I really hope we don't have to hear everyone complain this series about "we can't hit pitchers the first time we see them".

Good pitching by Gavin to keep him at 2nd. Get it going offense!

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 01:59 AM) this team is baffling sometimes, that's 9 in a row retired by Cyhill... er Cahill He's good, and has a chance to be great. Closest thing that can be compared to Brandon Webb to come into the league in a while.

Yeah, let's throw him a 3-2 get me over fastball. He's just going to go nuts this series, as he's on fire.

That 3-0 Dye low strike really changed the momentum of this game. Keep us close Gavin.
