QUOTE (Andrew @ May 14, 2011 -> 12:20 AM) Shut up. Wtf? Call this an official warning. Seriously though wtf?

QUOTE (Andrew @ May 14, 2011 -> 12:19 AM) This team is so f***ing pathetic. And yet three outs from the win

QUOTE (fathom @ May 14, 2011 -> 12:17 AM) Probably something they picked up against him last series. I dunno I think they'd have picked up more on the whole " he's easy to hit" problem

QUOTE (dielac @ May 14, 2011 -> 12:15 AM) WTF called that play? Crisp or Manager? Had to be the dugout, walking lead, nonswing

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 14, 2011 -> 12:14 AM) Does that count as a caught stealing for AJ's percentage, LOL??? Don't think so. That has to be the dumbest baserunning since the Carlos Lee days. Win an arm like Thor it's risky but man was that close

QUOTE (fathom @ May 14, 2011 -> 12:14 AM) Only a perfect pitch/tag got him. Game of inches indeed

Holy f***

Matt just cannot put guys away with two strikes any more

QUOTE (fathom @ May 14, 2011 -> 12:09 AM) Was Crain's pitch count high? Not huge but he did do 1.1 innings with some serious pressure last inning

And here goes the Thornton collapse

QUOTE (fathom @ May 13, 2011 -> 11:58 PM) Wish Sox would listen to the scouting report I had of Wuertz for the last 5 years. He'll throw a 3-2 slider about 95% of the time. Yeah, you hit those sliders. It's easy. It's not like the guy has a era of 0 on the year

Rock on JC

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 13, 2011 -> 11:50 PM) He wasn't exactly getting hammered...just a bunch of bulls*** hits...Crain could have easily given up the same hits...that one to Suzuki was ridiculous. It's always weird to see things like that happen... Consecutive hits where they're all soft rollers

Good start jc

Gotta think oz waited one batter too long there.

Phil making quick work of this game

2 draf picks when he walks after 2012.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 13, 2011 -> 11:26 PM) Apparently the way to make a 6 man rotation work is for Humber to just throw a shutout tonight. How many great innings does he have to throw before we stick him in the pen?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 13, 2011 -> 11:18 PM) For box tickets, bleacher seats.....fine, we can argue. But I still think they need to lower the upper deck seat prices, do more promotions specifically for those sections and have value/discount food pricing. That makes a HUGE difference to fathers planning a family outing. In the end, all the franchises know that the new broadcast rights deal will go from something like $430 million per season to $1 billion per season after 2012. Attendance/stadium construction is becoming less and less of a driver of franchise values. I have the A's feed from DirecTV Latin America....not pink here on the computer. This is one case where their business acumen makes thing worse for some fans. Want the teams to perfectly serve the public interest? Nationalize baseball then let taxpayers vote on the rates. Think thatll work?

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ May 13, 2011 -> 11:09 PM) So again, I ask, does anyone else see a pinkish tint to the jerseys in this game? Is that from the dirt? I think it's the dirt

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 13, 2011 -> 11:06 PM) 20th isn't much to brag about when we have a Top 5 payroll. What's most astounding is Cleveland at 30th with 14,640 per game with the best and most exciting team in baseball....and the Rays at 29th with 16,311. We also have the 2nd most expensive average tix in the league IIRC. there's a reason the sox don't try to sell the stadium out, they've made a different and valid business decision for their franchise

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 13, 2011 -> 10:48 PM) Didn't realize AJ had only 6 K's in 120 AB's. About the same number of walks, and very little hard contact. Horrible AB by Dunn there. Textbook display on driving a curveball into RF by Paulie. He's just become a "professional" hitter and is now so much more relaxed when dealing with adversity. I think a lot of it has to do with gaining perspective by getting married and having a family. Just a theory. Aside from the occasional hr, Aj has always been best when he just makes weak contact, flipping the ball over the SS.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ May 13, 2011 -> 08:41 PM) Sure he is, it's the only reason he posts them. Yeah, no chance I'm actually interested in how it goes. Nope, gloating. I want to cuss you out for this one. Its legitimately angering me a lot. I'm not allowed to take an interest in the process. I'm a democrat so nothing I post can possibly be ingood faith, my motives always are evil and deserve to be questioned.

Ok phil
