Good thing Timmy was batting 2nd

You know that idiot can never deviate from the script.  

I had hoped, with the writer's strike going on, he might be more flexible.

Pefro should be fined a days pay.

Sit down Tim. Luis Robert Jr is the man.

Well, one team can play defense tonight.

why doesn't luis robert bat second?

Sooooo damn slowwwww

Wait, they’re paying him?  He’s not someone’s dad volunteering?

Jesus christ, Konerko running with his pants down and a piano on his back would have been faster.

Andrus lack of hustle, Grifol saving the bullpen to lose.....Rick Hahn is ass Executive 

Nice approach there Yaz, microcosm of the entire game.

Absolutely cannot wait for him to be gone. He looks like he’s 50 years old

I root for them to win every game, but losing may be best. It could end Hahn's denial and get some players in here for next year/beyond.

And Anderson changed the game.

It's very deceptive, those 13 hop throws actually get over there pretty quickly.

He should be. But I feel like you lengthen your lineup a bit getting another hot bat in there in front of him.

I do feel for Tim Anderson.  You can tell his hurting inside with the struggles as he sits there after the last out.  But the genius skipper has no pulse, hit him 9th to get the pressure off him .  Not rocket science.

He wouldn't be the 1st Cuban to lie about his age.

He showed emotion after that last strikeout....the other day he was smiling in the dugout and looked like the old TA. I think you are so right...leaving him in the 2 hole is not helping him or the team. 

Jackie sucks.  Trade yaz for a bag of balls

Embarrassing.

Just embarrassing. 

Vaughn...nice game at the plate but damn he's slow

Andrus...lack of hustle in the 8th was bad

Anderson...if you're gonna play him you gotta drop him in the lineup

Grandal...sure would be nice if he was able to go on a hot streak but those days seem to be behind him

Sheets provides nothing

Banks is what he is

Pedro is just awful at handling the pitching staff, bullpen management and just general feeling for the game

The A's pitcher had an ERA of 6.5 and was 1-7. He holds the Sox to one run in five innings.

All you can do is laugh at the ineptness. ?
