Seattle takes the lead on a single by ichiro.

Whoops I'm in the wrong thread.

 

Oh wait yea CHW@Oak i'm in the right one.

6-5 Seattle ...YES!

Whoops I'm in the wrong thread.

 

Oh wait yea CHW@Oak i'm in the right one.

 

Common Danks, stop walking guys.

Third blown lead by the Twins against the M's in two weeks, including a rare (3rd) blown Joe Nathan save, when he had to come in to try to get out of the 8th inning. I think one of those leads (the first loss) was 6-0. Twins' fans must be going crazy, just like we are. Seemingly had the game in hand with Baker cruising.

 

Competition now will come down to who has the worst bullpen in front of two of the best closers in the game.

 

 

Common Danks, stop walking guys.

 

I missed the first few innings, but he seems to have no command of his fastball tonight.

Rack em up.

DP turned very nicely

dodge another bullet

That might be it for Danks.

Danks has made the big pitch when he's had to. Smith will be out of the game, as we'll face a very good A's bullpen from here on out (besides Embree and Street).

That might be it for Danks.

 

The bright spot is that a start like this is reminiscent of the way a top tier ace "struggles"

Did anyone hear that Seattle is up 6-5 over the Twinkies and the Sox lead 2-1?

Ah I forgot about Kevin Brown

Our hitters foul off the hit-and-run pitch more than any team I've ever seen.

I think the problem is that the White Sox game is moving along so slowly...and the M's comebacks against the Twins the past two weeks have been so improbable and exciting.

 

C'mon Juan, for once, Alexei had a base stolen!

Why didn't they have Uribe bunting? Where is this small ball we heard about?

Toby gets hit in the meatiness

Toby

The A's have joined the head hunters club versus the Sox. Hall HBP

You know your offense is struggling when in game summary the only highlight is Toby Hall 2 for 2, RBI HBP.

Good time here for a hit&run. OC can handle the bat
