vs. ATHLETICS 7/27

[Goober Noodles]

If the O's were to come back here with two outs, this game would need to be voted the most bizarre ever.

Bizzare? Epic.

[CA-ORIOLE]

Intersting end to the game there.

[Goober Noodles]

He dropped it!!

[CA-ORIOLE]

Probably just got the wind knocked out of him. Tough break for us there. Really tough game.

[LA2]

that wd have made it 14-11. Nice play by Reddick--I hope he's OK.

I hope he broke a rib.

Not really. Kinda.

[Don Quixote]

So glad I cut out early to watch the Olympic ceremony. I would have broken things. How 'bout that pitching. I wonder how many have posted bemoaning the demolition of Johnson's trade value, heh.

Some "interesting" managing and coaching decisions during this game. But Socolovich and Johnson: ugh.

I will take a moment to appreciate the great game Hardy had, both offensively and defensively.

[Uli2001]

The A's are making another one of their runs. They are the team of destiny right now. Too bad they never seem to get to the WS. Yes, sour grapes.

[erb8472]

As much as tonight's game sucked, and as much as it hurt I hope we can bounce back tomorrow against Colon.

Need to put this one behind us and hope we can get back to five games above .500 tomorrow.

Why do I actually have confidence on Chris Davis in left? I know I probably should be scared every time the ball gets hot there but he;s looked quite comfortable out there. Honestly, he looks better than Reimold.

Preface this... I'm still reading the game thread, the only way I can follow the games during the week. I don't even know who won yet. And thank you all SOOOO much for the 100 page thread!

Just wanted to respond to Tony. I like Davis pretty much anywhere he plays on the field. LOL! Even pitching! But Davis is just a ballplayer! He's athletic and has a sense for the game. He might not be the best player on the field but he knows the situation on the field as well as a Ripken.

No. Not much. We'll get 'em tonight.

Meeting RavNMadMan tonight at the "5". We have seats 19 rows behind the O's dugout!

How in the hell can a major league pitching staff give up 14 runs to this team....seriously?

Because we don't have a major league staff??

We have a minor league staff pitching in the majors, and not even a particularly good minor league staff at that.
