Shockingly Boone who has had control problems and has walked some in his last couple of starts walks in another run.
Thanks Ozzie, you can quit anyday now.

Ive never been an ozzie fan boy I dont like him as a manger. But im not an idiot who blames every little problem on the manager rather than blame the players on the team.
Also wtf was Sandy doing calling a slider
I will then blame Brian Anderson for not inking himself into the starting lineup everyday.
I will then blame Thornton for taking himself out when he walked someone on some very very close questionable pitches.

Thornton gave up 2 baserunners... some of you need to shutup and stop blaming everything on our manager.
Some of the Ozzie fanboys need to take off their Guillen 13 shirts, and their fond memories of last year and realize that he is a bad manager.

Ozzie took out our only good reliever for someone who's been out 4 days due to an injury. He sure has the magic tough this season.
The minute he is gone we are a better team.
Nice Job Ozzie. Keep worrying about the entire apendage aware thing. Why the f*** you take Thornton out.
Retarded managing.
You know if that was Neal Cotts he would of been able to face the righty.
Oh Christ, the appendage aware manager is taking out Thornton who is around home plate to bring in Mac who is a bit how should I say it wild around the strikezone.

Why is nothing ever easy in Oakland?
Seemingly can't retire their team 1-2-3 in order past the 6th inning.
Now if Thorton was facing us in that same situation. You would of seen 7 pitches and the inning would end.
When i see a game at Oakland I feel like I am watching the bobsled runs or a US soccer game with all of the goofy horns, cow bells, kazoos, waving of flags, and dressing up like its Halloween.
Oakland and San Fran is a very odd part of the country.
I guess if the catcher moves at all, its not a strike. Wierd rule, and here I thought it has something to do with with the white plate and something about knees to nipples.
I missed the part of baseball instruction where instead of striding towards the pitchers plate, you turn your front foot point it towards third base and step in that direction.
Someone needs to drive a 7 inch spike through the front foot of Uribe, so he can keep it from spinning out and doing his tazmanian devil routine.
GIDP to the pull side. What a f***ing shock. How is this possible.

Seriously, did you even look at the replays of Frank's swing there? He barely got that pitch, and he just muscled it out.
Seriously who calls a breaking pitch away on Frank with a man on.

Cotts is warming up? What in the hell is going on in our dugout?
The Mensa candidate running our club is still making decisions on the bullpen.
The book on Frank Thomas at this point in his career. You pound him in, and in, and in. He is an exceptional breaking ball hitter. He is an exceptional mistake hitter.
Yet for whatever reason we go against the grain and try and get him out with one of Javys breaking pitches.
