July 23, 201114 yr Five guys get our eight hits. Thank you, CQ. Dunn wakes up with two safeties. Didn't see it, but AP says Juan made a nice running catch in the eighth. If it was nice, thank you Juan. Victory is better than defeat my mamma always says. Edited July 23, 201114 yr by greg775
July 23, 201114 yr I think I'm starting to miss the steroid era. Give Gavin his props. He got the job done. But other than Cabrera and Hafner, wow, awful f***ing lineup Cleveland put out there. The offense (save for CQ) sucked again. That's why it's futile to get excited by this team, even when they win. Until this offense starts to consistently produce 4.5-5 runs a game, we will not go on any kinda run. Edited July 23, 201114 yr by Jordan4life

We need Dayan. Still.
July 23, 201114 yr This is what makes this team so infuriating, they lose 2 of 3 to f***ing KC and they just might take 2 of 3 against the first place Indians... Free Viciedo!!!

I was pissed we had 2 on and none out and TONIGHT I wasn't in the mood to watch that s***. And indeed, we only had one offensive highlight. Some nights I can take it; tonight no way I wanted to watch that s***. But I'm glad we won. And I can hope.

We had a short run with Maggs, Lee and Frank, but as a whole we were boring to watch. We're the A's with more upside. We probably always have been.
July 23, 201114 yr BTW... Gavin looked really good tonite. He had control of his curve ball. It was had a nice, hard break. He was spotting his FB well. Nice acquisition KW. Who'd we give up for him?

July 23, 201114 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 23, 2011 -> 08:34 AM) He came along with Gio in the Freddy Garcia to the Phils trade. Yeah that was a great trade. That was the same summer he traded BMac for Danks. One thing KW is really good at, is identifying starting pitching. Oh and you have to give crabby Coop some credit too.

Things sometimes look different with time.
