KC has made it 5-4. Good time for Sweeney to have returned.

Are we done with the A's after this series? If so, thank god!

You have to wonder how many times an offense can miss hanging sliders.

 

Sarloss has thrown several each inning, and yet no one can do anything with these pitches.

 

I better not hear one player claim "Oakland just has our number."  These weak offensive performances against scrub pitchers need to stop.

 

The middle of our order will always struggle against sinker ball pitchers. Especially considering our lack of speed, it's just a recipe for a lot of pulled choppers to the pull side. With that in mind, one of the most surprising things to me this season is that we're 2-0 against the great sinker of Jake Westbrook (yes, one game was 1-0).

cotts doin it to them, k's chavez lookin,

NEAL COTTS IS A GOD.

 

Keith Foulke...Billy Koch...eat your hearts out. We won that deal.

okay now lets get some runs already, im sick and tired of this we cant hit oakland stuff and we cant beat them, lets score some runs

i wuldnt go that far yet.

Willie better not be batting this inning!

nice hit by uribe

 

put your rally caps on boys and girls

i wuldnt go that far yet.

 

I would have taken the 2004 season with Foulke instead of Koch. Who knows what type of season we might have had. In terms of what both teams have now, there's no question we won that deal. It would be interesting to know who the A's drafted with the pick they got for losing Foulke to FA.

Willie better not be batting this inning!

If there's a man on 2nd...we better pinch hit the Gooch. Please God. If someone gets hurt we still have Pablo as a backup.

If we have one on, one out....you use Thomas. Any situation where we can bring him up, with the tying run on base or at the plate, you have to go with.

wtf another s***ty call by the ump he was f***ing safe

 

edit: hey douche bag is pitching

Wow, that was really close. Good call by the ump though. Willie should not be batting!

Good call...Pods was beat by a pair of frames on the film.

wtf another s***ty call by the ump he was f***ing safe

He was out. He shouldn't have slid.

Willie's 4th chance today with a man on 2nd.

wtf another s***ty call by the ump he was f***ing safe

 

He was out, as was Timo. We got a call in the first inning, when Pods was called safe, but was out.

He was out. He shouldn't have slid.

now that i see the replay he was out he might have been better off still running like you said

Willie had no chance

I don't understand why Willie is batting. It's not like he can hit a homer. Awful managing by Ozzie right there.

Willie makes his 4th out today with a man on 2nd...and the crowd deservedly boos him.

 

Willie...you're making me want to keep Timo on the team.

carl 2 run shot?

I wish I had as many off days as White Sox regulars. Good job Carl.

We have two back-ups on the bench, yet we let our worst hitter bat with the tying run at the dish. Someone explain that to me. At least Everett did his job!
