QUOTE(Ozzie Montana @ Jul 3, 2005 -> 04:13 PM) This game went the A's way when we had Ozuna on with a bunt hit and a steal, then we got him over to 3rd with Widgers bunt but we did not score. Then Buerhle had a mental lapse and threw the ball away on a traditional double play where the A's scored 4 times. I noticed that yesterday when Garland had the bases loaded he forgot about it and got the guys out. Buerhle kept on giving up hits to all four runs to score. Atleast we get out of Oakland tonight and we got the Devil Rays at home. Since when did Widger become Japanese???

QUOTE(JimH @ Jul 3, 2005 -> 04:08 PM) Well that's just it, you're right. Oakland executed today with 15 hits so far but the White Sox handed it to them in the first game and now this. It will happen in a long season. Frustrating to be sure, but these things happen every year to just about every team. Right, over 162 games these type of games are going to happen and they just always happen when we're at Oakland. We're just going to have to shake this off and go beat up on the Drays. Everytime this team has a tough series they bounce back, no worries here at all.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Jul 3, 2005 -> 04:07 PM) Well however you wanna call it, these trade ideas always come up after we play a bad game. I'll look at it my way, it'll help me sleep at night

QUOTE(JimH @ Jul 3, 2005 -> 04:06 PM) The other thing as DA alluded to is, Zito was on his game today and the offense couldn't do anything, or should I say they didn't get anything done. Not a good offensive performance but I will give credit to Zito. And Buehrle was scuffling, I am glad to get the hell out of there. One thing I am hellaciously pissed about is the positioning of Iguchi on Kendall's basehit. That square faced Kendall has made a living out of rolling base hits between 1st and 2nd. DJ was dead on correct, there is no reason for Iguchi playing over by 2nd base. As milkman said, what the hell kind of scouting was that? May I suggest bad advance scouting. Buehrle wasn't working Kendall inside either. That was terrible positioning, absolutely horrendous, I don't think you'd get an argument from anyone here.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Jul 3, 2005 -> 04:05 PM) We don't need another pitcher. We lose a few games to the hottest team over the past month and you're calling for a guy with chronic arm problems and a huge option for next season. We will use 3 starters in the playoffs, possibly 4 in a long series. We don't need Schmidt. No offense but we didn't lose to the A's we lost to ourselves.

Guys, everything is going to be ok, Kevin Walker is warming up.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 3, 2005 -> 03:58 PM) And Vizcaino still sucks. I hate these games where there's absolutely no silver lining. Viz has to go soon, we can't have such a terrible pitcher on our team when we're still not sure how Shingo will be. Perhaps if we get Schmidt, we can get Eyre with him. Oh there is a silver lining, you what it is it?? We don't have to play in Oakland anymore this year.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Jul 3, 2005 -> 03:58 PM) I wasn't going to say it until that at-bat was over. Now the game is officially over. Go back to your regularly scheduled activities. This is my only scheduled activity for today, now what do I do??

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Jul 3, 2005 -> 03:54 PM) Rooney makes a great point. We've played 6 times in Oakland in each of the past two seasons, yet they've only played us at home 3 times each of those years. Someone f***ed up the schedule making process. That's just pure bulls***. That's really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, not fair.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Jul 3, 2005 -> 03:52 PM) After next weekend, we are done with Oakland for the season. After the way they've played us the past few seasons, 2-4 to this point is better than anything we've seen in a while. We need to beat them at home 2 out of 3 next weekend. All I know is this f***in place needs to be blown up.

QUOTE(jerseysox @ Jul 3, 2005 -> 03:46 PM) sorry. let me counter that witty remark. i don't have a walnut-sized brain. i'll be sure to only post rah-rah stuff. oh, your father, too. Just a question: How many games a year do you watch?

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Jul 3, 2005 -> 03:41 PM) I'm almost glad I can't see this game. Being dominated by the has been T-Ball stand makes me want to vomit in my throat while Buherle once again chokes and misses the Ace level... :puke Zito has been real good his last few starts and real good today.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 3, 2005 -> 03:39 PM) I'm just saying it because it's true. Jeez, take it easy. I'm sorry the ASG has been talked about way to much around here, I feel like some of you care about how many allstars we have more then winning games.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 3, 2005 -> 03:35 PM) I turned it off. There's now no way Buehrle starts the ASG. After the way Halladay pitched in front of Francona and how Buehrle performed today, there's no chance he gets the nod. That's not a shot at Buehrle, either. Who the f*** gives a s***.

Wow. Good pitch there as well.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jul 3, 2005 -> 03:32 PM) Jesus H look at that f***ing hole on the right side... QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 3, 2005 -> 03:33 PM) We have a shift on Kendall, ???? That was retarded.

We have a shift on Kendall, ????

2 down. Cmon Buehrle, HUGE, HUGE OUT here.

Lets see if Mark can roll one up and get out of this.

QUOTE(chi-guy2 @ Jul 3, 2005 -> 03:28 PM) buehrle you piece of s***, way to blow it Buehrle and piece of s*** don't belong in the same sentence. EVER.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 3, 2005 -> 03:27 PM) f***ING UMPIRE! This is bulls***, pure f***ing bulls***. This isn't even fair. ?? That would have been a hit either way.

This is unreal.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 3, 2005 -> 03:21 PM) I told my brother that Thomas would K as soon as he went 2-1. It seems all he can do is hit solo shots. Time for Konerko to be huge. The 2-1 pitch was way low and the strikeout pitch was just nasty there wasn't much Frank could do.

That was nasty.
