vs. ATHLETICS 9-15

Scott, someone had mentioned he was hurt.

He's probably more sore than hurt, hence the "as well as any other" comment he made

How many at bats in a row can Andino hit it directly to the shortstop? 10? 20? 50?

Anyone wanna take a guess.

It's gotta be close to 10 already at this point.

We've GOT to try someone else there. We simply have too, Andino is not a major league baseball player.

Gotta recognize a great play!

A seven pitch inning....wow.

[tennOsfan]

I hate this damned ballpark.

You know, I really do like pumpkin ales, and was all excited when the guy at the liquor store said Southern Tier Pumpking had just come in, but this might be the second beer ever that I just can't drink. The pumpkin flavor is there, but it's just too much for my preference. I like my beers to taste like beer, and the pumpkin spice flavor is just overwhelming in this one.

(The first beer I couldn't abide was when I accidentally got Stone's Belgo Anise IRS instead of their regular IRS. Similar issue; the anise flavor was too overwhelming for me.)

If I spend the $$$, I like Bass Ale. So smooth. so creamy, so dark, so bitter.

OAK playing perfect, they are tough to beat. C'mon Stevie.

The sooner this team can move to San Jose, the better it is for all of us.

29 k's in 22 innings, for S. Johnson, amazing. I know its SSS but with his high 80 velocity that's impressive.

[Spoonless]

I'm jealous of that Dogfish Head picture. They stopped distribution to RI, and now I'd have to drive all 15 whole minutes to MA if I wanted to buy some.

This. Everyone is banged-up this time of year. Suck it up.

Oakland is playing better than us and everyone else. With that being said Britton's lack of command and poor baserunning is our own undoing. At this point I wouldn't be too upset with a 2-4 trip thru Oakland and Seattle.

Have you tried the dogfish punkin? Its very subtle as compared to other pumpkin ales ive had. It literally tastes like autumn in a bottle!

I like my whiskey with a pilsner or some other relatively nonbitter beer.

Except when I'm watching Brian Matusz and then I do heroin.

Have to agree. They are one of the best looking teams we've faced.
