Terrible AB by Pods.

Pods never lays off those high heaters.

I'm happy they brought in the lefty here.  Helps scotty stay on the ball, good thing when you're struggling.

 

You would have thought that would be the case.

I kind of like Iguchi vs. Nelson with the way Gooch goes to right.

If Iguchi can come through against Nelson here, he deserves to be our MVP (which is something that it would be nice to go a game without hearing Hawk say how 10 different players on our team deserve it on August 5th).

Nelson is just nasty on righty. Poor Ozzie, the one time where he can't go lefty/righty in the lineup, we face one of the better righty relievers against righty hitters.

Tad's gonna have to be the one to come through. Arow vs Nelson is not a good matchup unless of course Jeff were to hang a slider.

I was thinking the same. I'd rather see Timo than Rowand against Nelson.

Wow, that really hurts. That would have likely scored two runs.

Blah, bad f***in luck, good positioning by Seattle.

That was a hang wiff em.

Gooch was thinking the right thing, but so was Sexson....Ouch.

Where are Baltimore's relievers when we need a rally? Someone needs to tell Pods to act like the badass he was for 100 games this season, and get his swagger back.

Bad break there, but we still should have scored a lot more off of Piniero. This team's play at home is becoming VERY frustrating lately!!

2 runs from a pitcher coming in with a 6 something ERA, they should've scored earlier. This offense f***ing sucks.

I cant wait until their next away trip. I know its against the Yanks and BoSox but it gets them away from the Corpseball Field.

Someone might want to tell Hawk that they were just playing no doubles. I guarantee you that they wouldn't have been on the line that much if they weren't up in that situation.

And as John Calipari said "Larry Bird isn't walking throw those f***ing doors!" We're playing with the players that will be on the roster the rest of the way, and someone needs to provide a spark.

bad news Jphat...Oakland is winning!

jenksypoo is good

Question: Does anyone feel like this team has lost their swagger? It used to seem like we just expected to come from behind and win the game. Lately, it just doesn't seem to be there (not counting Baltimore).

Not a terribly bad thing. Hopefully they can move past LAA. I'd much rather play them in the first round.

Good job by Jenks. Great to see him throwing strikes. Hopefully, Ozzie won't have him pitch another inning.

i've been saying that for the past 3 weeks or so.

You just don't feel like you KNOW they're going to come back now.

That kid is a BEAAAAASSSSSTTTT!!!!!

 

 

Nice 1-2-3 inning. Good scare on the hanger though.

 

 

 

Lets get some runs.
