I think Nix stays on if Crosby doesnt nudge him. But thats a crafty play by Crosby when the guy is already safe.

 

And the steal was the right call.

 

Pods v Bailey you are praying for a bloop single or something that Nix can score on. Its highly unlikely Pods gets an extra base hit there.

had nix been called out on that, ozzie probably would have bodyslammed an ump

 

I don't know where he gets that rep, because Ozzie argues less than anyone in baseball it seems.

 

 

I missed the 8th inning "bad" call though. Anyone want to tell me what happened?

Is Dotel or Thornton coming out for the 9th?

 

ESPN.com says Andrew Bailey? I think they are wrong unless he was traded in the last 15 seconds

Jenks? Uh-Oh.

 

Come on Bobby, if their closer can do it so can you.

Please, no more Pods next year.

 

I'm all for giving Figgins his money now.

 

Are you kidding?!?! He's the reason we aren't being f***ing shutout right now.

On Rios- No real errors, just the play that was his where Q interfered. Offensively, some numbers in his past that indcate potential. Not tearing it up at all, but not our worst performer or even remotely close since he's been here. Some hard hit balls. Maybe not a favorite, but certainly an improvement for which the Sox gave up nothing but money. Why the hatred? It's JR's money and it doesn't seem like there's anyone better on whom to spend it. Again, why the hatred?

Use this pause to our advantrage. Pitcher distracted and angry with the fact the A's tried to cheat and got caught and their manager gets the boot.. we get a hit let's go!

 

 

Well it was a good thought right?

OK, one pitch one out.

Broadcasters on the Oakland side are b****ing like crazy about that call.

 

Crosby probably pushed him off.

 

You don't have sideways momentum sliding straight towards the bag.

Jenks is in? Does Ozzie know the score?

Bobby in in a non-save situation... always makes me nervous.

100% pushed him off.

Are you kidding?!?! He's the reason we aren't being f***ing shutout right now.

He's also the reason we're tied. Yay?

3 pitches, 2 outs. Looking good so far *crosses fingers*

I don't like Bobby in non save situations...it usually pucker time.

Two hard hit flyballs so far.

Jenks? Uh-Oh.

 

Come on Bobby, if their closer can do it so can you.

 

 

If he can do this without giving the A's two base runners minimum I will be so happy

f*** me

f***!

And it's over. f***ing christ, Bobby. So predictable.

3 pitches, 2 outs. Looking good so far *crosses fingers*

 

Bobby could go 5-6 innings at this rate (if needed)

Game over

Two hard hit flyballs so far.

 

Make it 3 hard hit.

We lose... nice job guys....

waste of a golden f***ing opportunity.....
