So I will. Our Keystone Kops will hopefully catch the ball tonight and Soto may throw the ball to a MI.

I meant to say this last night but with all the awfulness I dudnt want to pile on. Got my first real taste of VC slurping the Rangers. All you who try to shove him onto my TV can get bent if I have to listen to that 19 times a year.
Meh, we have to put up with that every game on TV as they always suck the other team’s dick.
So much win. I’ve spent the last 15 minutes trying to think of something appropriately snarky. But you out did me in every possible way.
TYVM
Hey, did BFN say he was leaving, or is it just his move keeping him away? I saw. and missed his insane gatred for a second.
You would think with being out of action almost all year Holland would have found some way to make his facial hair look a little more….lets go for masculine.
After every k they should play the sound bite from Finding Nemo that says “shark bait”.
More baseball. Yay.
I enjoy baseball
Soto should probably catch the rest of the season. Give Norris some time off from there. And he seems to be a better pitch caller.
yes.
No doubt, assuming Soto’s healthy.
Yes. My hope was Vogts foot would have improved with the time off, but since it hasnt I would prefer defense back there.
Norris can’t catch at the moment. Let him DH. Soto is almost as good offensively at the moment, and he’s miles better on defense.
Gritty!
That unnecessary headfirst dive by Punto will be seen as the moment that turned around the season.
define “unnecessary”
He could have ran in and been safe. Collapso may have been safe if it was him.
did you ever hear the story about the scorpion and the frog?
someone started telling it to me but i interrupted him to correct some trivial grammar issue, got in an argument, then went full wrath and walked away.
hey, it’s my nature.
Kaz was looking at Pomeranz just now and said ” I think you stole my drink there bud. I had a great drink and you went and stole it. Give it back and go get your own.”
“Half a dozen [strikeouts] through six for Jeff Samardzija. We head to the bottom of the fourth…”

I was so excited. I am hlaf paying attention doing jury instructions.
I heard that too.
Life!
Where?
i prefer chutes and ladders.
just kidding. i prefer honeynut cheerios.
Possibility of parole?
that is false hope
Jed is not having a good series.
he is preventing Sogard from playing short.
that is successful
You mean King Slayer?
This was not supposed to be a prediction.
Nothing gives me more confidence than having a critical situation and Jed coming up. I can always be sure to get a look of disgust as he hits into a DP or strikes out.
But not swinging worked for the previous two guys. It’s not fair.
Hey, it’s Englishmajor’s feet.
My friend and I were trying to get our feet on TV so we dangled them a bit over the edge into diamond (mind you we’re both 5’3″ so it wasn’t much of a dangle.). One of the diamond security guards immediately came and yelled at us to stop.
it’s not the angle of the dangle. it’s the heat of the feet.
I saw you.
Woo!!
I can’t even think of anything rude to say.
I’m sorry I must be off my game tonight
Thanks, and go As.
Try working off the words 5’3″ and dangle.
Stop talking about my junk, dude.
I didnt think it was possible to hate SA more than I did at times when he was with us.
I was wrong.
I like Samardzija. Everyone else looks like they’re sleepwalking but this guy’s always fired up. I’ll be sad when Beane trades him for not Russell in the offseason.
Aside from the fact that he’s pitching really well, he just seems alive, on the mound or in the dugout.
Newish guy!
take kerwin out!
. POWER!!!!!
Ok Soto is a little too chummy with the rangers
DAMMIT!
Now fuld? what the fuck.
this is terrible
Sad shell of Coco is sad.
I suppose its better than a DP so he has to throw at least 3 more pitches
Man those 2013 A’s looked like a happy bunch of guys.
I MEAN SAM FULD WILL DELIVER US FROM OUR SHUTOUT!!!
TLoSF!
KNOW WHEN TO FULD EM!
Soto, ., Fuld providing the offense, just like we expect.
the A’s have more point(s) that their opponent?
the old new strike zone switcharoo trick.
did KK/VC remember the game when they switched umps?
the TV guys did a lot of ummm/errr… it was on the road, maybe angels, errr/ummm.
You wonder why Samardzija wants to stay out there and throw 40 warmup pitches. Go back in the dugout and put your jacket on, come back out in 10 minutes.
Especially when we know he loves that pullover.
When they said Kittenface was having a sinus problem I felt bad. Then they said a head cold and im like “get the fk outta here”.
“A little wall is not going to affect Sam Fuld”
I don’t know exactly what that means, Ray, but it sounds pretty badass.
Is that new Jeep commercial supposed to soubd like “Higher Ground” or “Leave Me Alone”?
I bitched about a specific aspect of it tonight on our hot springs forum.
LOL. And yes, really the only thing I had ever noticed was the actress facing the camera, why do you ask?
@lenscrafter I like Samardzija too, I’m ready for him to go 120+ pitches tonight to get the win
Samardzija sure is filthy.
Hopefully backing into the playoffs like a dilapidated VW Bus held together by duct tape instead of appearing competent is the secret to Billy Beane’s shit working in the playoffs.
moneyball 2?
LOL
Perfect colors.
High performance indeed.
the original hot box.
Is the technical term for whatever Shark threw to Arencibia there a “filthball?” That was like a 96 mph screwball.
I swear Holland went back in time and stole my mustache from my Soph year of HS.
Not an issue so long as you don’t combine it with Sloth’s face from the Goonies.
No one in the bullpen? I’m a little surprised.
Runs would be nice.
Uh, vince, I am betting going to “bearskin dot com” is not a place to find a bear costume.
Im scared to even try to go there on my phone.
http://www.bearskin.com
you’re gonna be pissed how safe this is.
and this i didn’t know.
bareskin.com is available
its Minnesota nice.
There’s a picture of a naked Moose.
slegnA back to their usual selves. It’s good for the A’s, if a bit depressing. (I know. It doesn’t matter.)
Don’t grimace, Samardzija. You’re making me nervous.
The way Kuiper pronounces the U in “Punto” like the U in “put” gets on my nerves.
That was some nasty shit.
Filthy.
In the old days, when men were allowed to be men, Samardzija would pitch the 9th.
Funny thing is, I don’t even know that would be the worst move. It won’t happen, and shouldn’t happen. But I still worry about Doolittle at this point.
I’d pitch Shark in the 9th for sure. There’s no reason I can see to pull him.
What’s wrong with Donaldson (other than the entire second half of this season)?
Donaldson is about the only part of this offense that’s not wrong in the second half.
I meant the injury, primarily.
I guess I should have stuck with my first instinct.
What exactly is wrong with Donaldson’s legs?
For all our talk about curses and whatnot, whats our record since Brian. Only went offline? Do we need to putch in to get him Uverse for a month?
i think so.
take donaldson out please.
put travis buck in.
You had me at Travis.
It’s too bad we don’t have someone really really really fast on the bench. Like a guy who could score from second on a sac fly fast.
You know what to do with that big fat butt. Wiggle wiggle wiggle.
I want the A’s to score in this inning. I don’t want two of our few guys who have been hitting to get hurt while doing so.
Let’s be careful out there.
Running to first should not be that perilous.
when you do it that often, you should know how many steps you take and where each one lands.
Vogt sighting!
IBISV!
I thought we were bombing them.
It begins in 5 minutes.
I may be slower but I came with graphics.
Vogt! Well, don’t get hurt running to first.
The wild pitch felt almost like a bad thing because Donaldson had to run some more.
C’mon, guys. Bases loaded and nobody out. Can’t the A’s score?
No worries, Jeds got this. (urf)
can the A’s retire number 8 without necessarily assigning it to a player?
24, henderson
43, eckersley
9, jackson
8, popup
8,PTBNL
Oh good Callaspo is pinch hitting.
Thanks, and go As.
I haven’t done the math but I’m pretty sure Lowrie has been worth -7 WAR the last two days.
Callaspo? Does Melvin want a double play?
something something jed lowrie
correction. nothing nothing jed lowrie.
Dont worry, Collaps…
Nevermind, I couldnt even finish it without laughing.
Lowrie…
When they re-sign him via the QO and then have to option him midway through the season, he’ll be Tennessee Jed.
Bases Loaded nobody out.
Thanks, and go A’s.
Thanks, and go As.
Don’t worry, Soto will hit a grand slam right here.
Callaspo is so awful.
seriously, I don’t know why you don’t throw moss up there. He is the best hitter available.
Lefty on Lefty.
I know Melvin is trying to avoid putting him in against lefties. But when he was hitting, he hit lefties just fine. And don’t the A’s want him to start regaining his confidence? Sitting him in that situation doesn’t really help.
And he couldn’t have done any worse than the guys who did hit.
hahahahaha, this offense.
Utterly fucking hopeless.
Now I know why staying up until 1am to watch this is such a bad idea.
Beltre hitting fourth.
DP please.
Odorous.
Samardzija has my permission to punch someone.
Not with his right hand.
The finger-pointing on September 29 is going to be spectacular.
The gallows part of my soul wants/needs to hear it. I didnt think these guys could do this.
And you know, for being so good at working with his players, how much of this falls on Melvin?
There’s something seriously wrong here that isn’t explained by statistical analysis.
This is the fifth start this year Samardzija has given up no runs. His team has lost all five games.
That’s unbelievable.
Bullfuckingshit.
fuck these umps.
FKing BS.
Fucking useless.
Thanks, and go As.
That was really close. I wouldn’t have overturned it.
There was a shot that showed him tagged and off the bag pretty clearly.
I agree, that looked like plenty sufficient evidence for an overturn to me.
they need to synch the TVs back at the base. in one shot you can see when the foot is off the air but not the glove touching the shin. in the other you can see the shin touch, but not whether the foot is in the air. synch ’em to see both angles at the same time, and he’s out.
I know Im being an Eyeore. But if we lose tonight I could see us losing the rest of the way.
No way was there enough evidence to overturn that.
LOL
Seriously. This team is killing me.
Well…my first spring training game is tentatively scheduled for March 5.
hahahahahahahahaahaha
Thanks, and go As.
walk beltre they said. it could turn into a double play they said.
And I have to go to the game tomorrow? Fuck
Oh, won’t that be a fun drive to Oakland.
Im going with a Giants fan and a friends who has no favorite team. Im not driving so I might just start drinking at 9.
I can’t remember hating a fucking A’s team as much as this band of chokers.
let’s go choakland!
cough cough. cough cough cough.
Wow
Doolittle needs to come out.
Blame of the Game: Lowrie.
and now we’re turning into angels fans.
No, they’re pretty happy right now.
No. I’m more likely to join the Tea Party.
Boo.
When it looked like the A’s might win in spite of their incompetence, I didn’t really feel that great about it. The win would have been Samardzija’s doing, plus a bit of good luck to get a solitary run.
That would have given the team a cushion to make the play-in game, but it otherwise didn’t prove anything but that Samardzija was really, really good tonight.
This is kind of a fitting way for this team to get eliminated in the AL West.
I wish we didn’t have to wait another 8 or 9 days for them to be eliminated from the wild card. I can’t see any way I can believe in this team in October even if they somehow back their way into a wild card spot and then win that game.
Rosales is a better hitter than anyone on the A’s.
At least we won’t have to worry about watching this team play another elimination game.
That was a gift at least. Pitch was six inches low.
Cool inning, bros.
Abad Odor indeed.
If I was there tonight I’d be booing this chokejob SO fucking hard
Jim Johnson is so glad he got released
Thanks, and go As.
Cant wait for the JJ story about he couldnt get right in Oakland because something something and thats why they collapsed.
If Doolittle is not fully healthy, he should not be closing.
Sometimes Doolittle just is very hittable. But my fear is that the desperate A’s rushed him back.
I
I Believe
I Believe We
I Believe We Will
I Believe We Will Choke.
I’m OK with a total collapse. If the team somehow manages to turn it around and limp into the play-in game, then do anything in the playoffs, that’s a bonus.
But a total collapse is what we’re witnessing.
I’m just glad tomorrow’s game is during the day. I am tired of having my evenings ruined.
I’ll be able to completely miss tomorrow’s laugher.
A smattering of boos during the last out.
good. they don’t deserve to be cheered after that bullshit.
Thanks, and go As.
Thanks, and go As.
Kazmir is a flawed messenger, because he comes across as a bit of a head case who’s always blaming others when things go awry. But he made some damning points about the team’s performance down the stretch.
This.
If anyone is going to the
funeralgame tomorrow I will be up in 217. Hoping to be in the WSC downing several craft brews before the game. Wearing my Islanders green and yellow T to go with some A’s cap. Come say hi so I dont kill someone.my fk crashed when the triple was in review. I went to bed. I wanted to say this. I am happy the A’s lost. mariners and detroit lost. no ground lost on them. But the most important thing is, the ANgels had to wait a few hours after their game to know if they clinched. and they did not get to celebrate after a win.
I like that.
I also enjoy the fact that thunderbutt could not bring himself to award a golden eeyore tonight.
I was following this game while I was out last night. Checked in at three separate times: A’s up 1-0 in the 8th, game tied 1-1 in the 9th, A’s lose 6-1. So that was fun
Oh Doo, the wheels fell off this bus looooooong ago. Time to shave your beard.
We rocked it ’til the wheels fell off.
Funny, I had the thought last night, watching Doolittle on the bench after being pulled in the 9th, that the team should shave their facial hair en masse for mojo purposes.
Agreed. I was kind of thinking they should shave all their hair a few weeks ago. A team of uniform, clean shaven, bald men with itchy junk.
Unfortunately, due to human hair growth cycles and times, the junk won’t get too itchy until after the season’s over.
and that’s… ONE TO GROW ON!
Nah, it only takes a day or two for the itching to begin.
:-|
Love Samardzija. Love him.
And not just because he looks like Zlatan.
well, they are legion.
I agree–he needs to stay.
Good news everyone. Derek Norris is back behind the plate today and Alberto Callaspo is your starting first baseman!
You have to be shitting me on the second one.
That’s how you shake things up! (By being actively detrimental)
So Melvin’s giving up too, then
Thanks, and go As.
The wheels are back on!!
He’s faking. Someone drop a briefcase behind him and see if he turns his neck.
