Just a general observation in reference to the thread title; How are elephants athletic? I never understood the idea of an elephant being a part of the A's logo.

Gotta have this game, can't count on Minnesota to keep losing.

Thome vs Zitos curveball.

 

Lets see if the corpseball offense can give a little thrill today, or are they going to get mowed down crazy like. Zito has a 9+ era in his last couple of starts and has been terrible at home. Which means we will have a hit or 2 by the 5th inning and he will have half a dozen Ks on our team.

 

Just f***ing hit the ball.

I love the called 3rd strike.

Sweet AB Jimmy.

 

C'mon PK, give me some RBI's that are worth a s***.

 

BTW, FOX-HD is garbage.

Vazquez is going to freak out about this strike zone.

Great job PK!

Good thing PK tried to pull that low changeup.

 

Against a patient team (and this ump), does Vazquez have a chance of throwing less than 100 pitches prior to the 6th inning?

Nice inning Javy

Let's hope Crede gets us going, because our 7-8-9 is pathetic today.

Ok, so wait, Ozzie was praising Anderson to the Fox announcing crew before the game? WTF?

Anderson continues to look like a Little Leaguer at the plate. Yuck...he didn't even give himself a chance to get a hit that AB.

 

Good job 7-8-9. Our offense with no hits thru 2 innings....what a shocker.

Man on 2nd - 1 out.

 

We don't score, I'm stunned...

So lets figure out how many hits are we going to have before the 5th inning. I am going with 2.

Why don't we give Cintron a chance to provide a spark to our offense?

Why don't we give Cintron a chance to provide a spark to our offense?

 

 

Because Uribes .230ish BA is so much better than Andersons .230ish BA.

Another nice inning from Javy.

A guy has a ton of walks in the first 2 innings and we get him out of it by impatience and poor ABs.

How people want to keep Freddy over Vaz is beyond me.

 

Yep...couldn't agree more.

How people want to keep Freddy over Vaz is beyond me.

It's all a matter of who gets us the best price in the offseason. If we can get top-15 talent for one of our other pitchers, the equivalent of say a Chris Young...and keep Garcia...we are better off with that talent and Garcia in the rotation than we are with less talent and Garcia gone.

 

PABLOWNED!
