Westburg keeps driving that ball to the warning track

Warning Track Westburg with the sac fly!

That’s gone at Yankee Stadium.

Groovy.

[Gurgi]

I guess the cure for slumping bats is to face Oakland pitching?

Someone stop Kevin Brown. 

What did he say this time?

Apparently all the O's needed to wake up their bats is face a AAA team.

[Just Regular]

DL Hall strikes out the side - 11/15 strikes, no baserunners.

Seattle is shutting Houston out. Good pitching, man.

We've been the little league team for a lot of years, I want to win this game but I'm not enjoying watching Oakland stink it up, just like I didn't enjoy watching our guys stink it up.

Yeah, on that note... I was thinking about how sad it is to see such a storied franchise who once had a dynasty with the likes of the Bash Brothers, Tony LaRussa, Ricky Henderson, Dennis Eckersly, etc, struggle so much for so many years in modern times. There's alot of nostalgia from how good that franchise used to be in the 80s and 90s. Even in the early 2000-2003 era.

When the Oakland Coliseum used to be packed, it was a fun atmosphere for baseball.

I kind of wish something would happen to rejuvinate the fan base in Oakland to keep them there and revive the market for the A's.

Is Gunnar late on every fastball?

Or that little league park down the street.

This Henderson mini slump appears to be over.  Thank god....just in time.

[SteveA]

Man surprised Adley ran there, probably shouldn't have.  But it got him AND Gunnar an extra base.

[O's84]

Keep it coming, we got to make this Gibson-proof.
