Coco stranded in the top of the first, Astros threatening in the bottom.
Crisp, Semien, Reddick, Butler, Vogt, Muncy, Lawrie, Fuld, Sogard + Gray.

Let’s go just little bit, please, huh, Oakland?
clap clap clapclapclap
<Gags>
Only the ’94 team had won fewer of its first 40 games than these Oakland A’s, and they’re tied with the historically bad ’79 team (54-108).
Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaags
WTFK … Sonny must be seething, especially after last Wednesday’s fiasco.
Did we really just have two guys out at home in the same FKing inning?
#Gagsmustbegagged
what is wash up to? still fighting sexual harassment rumors?
Yeah, that was an odd story which seemed to just stop without conclusion.
YOU JUST HAVE TO LAUGH
(He kind of looks safe though.)
No runs on a walk, a double and a single. Gah!
Now THAT is certainly creative!
Looks like I picked a good evening to spend on the phone with an angry customer.
I was planning on being an angry customer on the phone with an incompetent company I am totally pissed at tonight, but then it turned out the A’s ticket offices were closed.
hey-o
Um, Glen, 120-some odd overturned calls amounts to about 1 call in approximately 20% of the games played or roughly a bad call in 2.5% of the innings played. All things considered, I’d say they’re doing a pretty good job (balls & strikes notwithstanding).
A’s not making a compelling case for local fan viewer eyeballs tonight.
American pale, English bitter or Irish stout … choices, choices, choices.
Sweet Fausto, leave that execrable art.
Any news on Coco?
What happened? Gameday says injured neck?
vince or roxy said stiff neck. presumable on the carter HR
I already saw either SuSlu or Jane say what a horrible thing it would be to lose him.
I love Coco and want him to retire as an A. But losing the guy hitting .044 will not end this wreck of a year.
he is good on defense
I’m starting to worry that his injury last year ended his career and he just doesn’t know it yet.
Yep.
I don’t much care for the Warriors return to their habit of slow starts.
I love D. Lee, but he might be unplayable defensively against these guys.
Ball 3 looked a lot like strike 3 to Gameday.
Storming back just like they always do, on the back of Shaun Livingston.
Also, Mark Jackson as announcer makes an unassailable case for no one ever hiring him again as a coach.
also max muncy
God, he is so dumb. Him praising Kevin McHale for not calling a TO to stop that run because it “builds character” was classic. He used to sit on his hands while the Warriors lost leads all the time.
Exactly this.
I mean, its hard to blam gags seeing how badly the team plays with runners on third, but….sigh

Altuve is out. By a lot.
So I somehow fell into a time trap or something and came out in a different year. I just saw a 7th inning with good bullpen work and no runs allowed.
Random thoughts:
I miss Trogdor and always will.
We just need to get it to Gregerson at 1 run and we have a chance. I am very confident that he can give us a shot at a comeback.
yup yup
That was a good call on the latter.
wait, rodriguez?
I mean, other Fernando doesn’t give confidence…
Report out of Midland is that Doolittle was only at 88 or so. Not good
that is the only way he can generate 1.21 gigawatts
can someone post the realtime brooks baseball strike zone thing?
I understand it’s.. questionable for Sonny
Thanks, and go As.
Abad is not a major league pitcher at the moment.
That has seemed obvious for like a month, but they keep using him in close games. Granted many of the other options aren’t great either, but Abad is just awful.
I hope that will soon be true.
It’s too bad because they finally changed his walkup music at the Coliseum. His original song was quite unsuitable for a family entertainment, according to the Spanish speakers in my vicinity, leading us to suspect that Abad and the scoreboard guy had a bet about how long it would take for anyone to notice.
this is going to be an epic comeback.
But the worry now is they dont go to Gregerson..
This obsession Capt Abad has with being on the A’s roster must end. #freevenditte
It’s at the point where I laugh, laugh, fall apart with every home run.
Can’t imagine that a team that went through its first 41 games with a single 2-game “winning streak” has ever finished above .500. Quite possibly not even 8-10 games under .500.
Apparently Venditte has been great as a lefty, and pretty bad as a righty. Which is weird, given that he is a natural right-hander and throws harder from that side, but it fits nicely with our needs.
Well and that “pretty bad” Im sure is fine relatively speaking.
Well they had a nice 7-8 consecutive scoreless innings.
I dont like doing this here. But fuck this shit. He needs to go NOW!
I have a feeling he’s gone after this one.
But Venditte walks too many…smdh.
he’ll figure it out in the bigs!
A left handed reliever that can’t get lefties out is pretty much useless.
On the other hand, the ensuing DFA should almost certainly clear the way for Venditte.
I think the Astros stadium operations people are reading us. After every home run, I hear them setting off dynamite.
Oakland vs. Houston is tied on combined score right now.
Oakland wins by two points on aggregate.
so, gags CAN hold runners. huh.
IT LEARNS!!!
ptbnl signal: does sogard end more games than any other A? it seem that way
No Kool and the Gang tonight, so, this one’s for you, Fernando:

half of the actors there I have seen live in person, stuffed.
That sentence confuses the heck out of me.
I was live
But apparently not hungry.
am?
While I already did a FB for it, my opinion on the man at this moment is pretty simple:

should have flown him to Detroit in 2013, billy
“Why this is hell, nor am I out of it.
Think’st thou that I, who saw the face of God,
And tasted the eternal joys of heaven,
Am not tormented with ten thousand hells
In being deprived of everlasting bliss?”
Ay, we must die an everlasting death.
What doctrine call you this? Che sera, sera
I guess asking for two in a row was asking too much.
They already did it once this year, what more could you possibly want?
We can’t get greedy. Besides, I was watching the Warriors game anyway.
Blackhawks-Ducks heading for overtime, for those who still have a jones to feed.
And now double OT.
Hilarious deliberate header goal waved off. Wild.
Wow. Textbook form on that.
Seriously. I was guessing it wouldn’t count, but having never seen it done before I wasn’t sure.
What’s the rule there? It counts if he didn’t mean to do it?
If by deliberate action, it has to be off a stick. Inadvertent deflections are OK (most commonly off a skate blade).
The thing that annoys me about the Ducks as the name for a hockey team is that if the pond is frozen, there aren’t going to be any ducks around.
I guess there won’t be any sharks in there either, but whatever.
On to the third OT! It is crazy this has gone on so long, many great scoring chances in first two OTs, especially for Anaheim.
Cool
Toilets need cleaning?
slegnA got by without a lefty reliever for years.
A strange game. The only winning move is not to pitch. How about a nice game of chess?
Didnt someone just talk about Wash?
yay
Yay yay!
It’s gone from “might” to “will join the team in Tampa”!
woohoo
I called it!
