vs. Athletics 7-28

I hate playing Oakland, hate them. Their no name lineup always seems to beat us. And by the way as if we didn't already know Tommy Hunter is not an AL East quality starting pitcher.

[Il BuonO]

You would rather he be saved for a game in which the O's have a lead?

Well, don't talk like it can't happen. Remember last night?

[scOtt]

Soch in! I'm so glad...

[nate22]

Not a terribly great start for Soco. Still an out though.

[OldNewGuy]

Soco warming. I'll ask now - why him?

Tonight it won't be tight, crucial situation. tomorrow he will be on the train to Norfolk, not New York. Nice routine out to his first batter. Buck scratches head. What did he show at 3A for me to watch this?

[Il BuonO]

...but yes, I'd rather see him for mop up duty....ONLY.

[Fired-Up]

I'm of the mindset if your starting pitcher doesn't give you a chance, it's irrelevant what the offense does.

Pretty much this, Soco is probably heading out to make room for Lew so Buck wants to get an inning or two out of his arm before he goes.

Then what is Gregg going to do?

This game is mop up duty.

[OldNewGuy]

Audition for a trade deadline deal?

[nevadaO]

Again something going with 2 outs. Can we actually come through this time?

[OldNewGuy]

Perfect time for a Q dinger!:rofl:

Asking Omar to get his third hit of the night is a tall order plus being an Orioles player you must stink with RISP.

Lets call on the RH pinch hitter in the dugout. What's that, oh there isn't one...sweet.
