QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 11:00 AM) I love reading obvious plot holes and absurd scenes in movies. That Prometheus video was just as entertaining. Yeah ok, the cops not shooting Bane or the rebels not shooting Batman is forgiveable, because movies need to have dumb people who don't do things the easy way, or can't shoot a gun straight, that's not really a big deal, but the way Bane died!!?!?! Seriously! That was just awful. I actually forgot he even died. Later in the movie I was thinking "I wonder if Bane will be in the next one....wait....did he die? Did Catwoman really kill him that easily?".

AJ!!!!! POWER MONSTER!!!!!

A's have 5 hits......3 of them s***ty ones. And because of those s***ty hits, Sale will get 1 less inning out there on the mound....

MLB Gameday shows all 4 of those pitches having part of the zone....

.....And now Sale getting squeezed.....

Gomes is a f***.

For those who haven't seen the Rajai Davis catch yet...... http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_...3999512486-1046

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 02:29 PM) Christ, that's 10 K's through 5. It's actually spelled "Chris".

Too bad Sale is at 82 pitches already. He MAY go in to the 7th inning.

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 02:26 PM) Kind of a "typical" Oakland kinda hit. Yep. And watch it end up scoring.

Sale is one of the most awkward fielding pitchers I've ever seen.

Brooks Raley is perfect through 4.....

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 02:11 PM) Anyone just see that catch by R. Davis in the Yanks/Blue Jays game? Wow That was pretty awesome, robbing a HR on a 10 ft wall. Good thing he had the speed to get there soon enough to scale the wall.

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 02:13 PM) Yeah but you gotta take chances and be aggressive and given Pennington's arm so far today it was a good chance. Just didn't work. I could have thrown out Beckham on that play. Pennington could have thrown the ball 10 feet wide, and it would have still been an out.

Come one Sale, you've got to be able to strike out Reddick! Weeeeeeeeeak sauce.

Hawk trying to do some damage control and calm the angry fans who are pissed at McEwing right now....

Ok, I would hardly say Beckham looked "slow as hell". They just asked him to score from 1st on a ball that didn't even get past the OFers. It was a terrible send by McEwing.

LOL, why send Gordon when you had 2nd and 3rd????? Terrible Super Joe, Terrible.

QUOTE (YASNY @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 02:02 PM) Watching Beckham bat, it dawned on me that the last player I saw wearing the uni with that number was Dick Allen. Wasn't Iguchi #15?

Yes! Pennington!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 01:58 PM) Last A's player to drive in > 100 in a season. Hmmmm.....Frank Thomas sounds right, since they like to give you those type of related questions, but I am going to go ahead and guess Eric Chavez, but yeah, the idea of it being Frank sounds like the perfect question for them to ask.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 01:56 PM) I'm going with "Frank Thomas" as the trivia answer. What was the question?

6 Ks through 3 IP. I think I've made a terrible trade.
