That oft-cited “record since May 22” stands at 29-21. If they continue at that pace…they’ll be 72-72 on September 14. You don’t get to postseason from 72-72. BP puts their postseason probability at 2.3% for the division and 5.1% for a wild card spot. So the answer is Probably Not, but Billy has nine more games starting with tonight’s before he has to make a final decision on selling.
Burns CF, Vogt 1B, Zobrist 2B, Butler DH, Smolinski LF, Lawrie 3B, Phegley C, Reddick RF, Semien SS facing Mark Buehrle, with former Blue Jay Kendall Graveman on the hill for Oakland. Josh Donaldson bats second for the Jays in his return to the Coliseum.
don’t make me punch my work surface pro, soaker
It will be Donaldson’s 2 homers, 2 doubles and 9 RBIs that makes you do that. At least he can’t hit a 3-run homer or a grand slam his first time up.
JD welcome applause, better than I thought.
Dayum, that was crushed.
So who had “Ex-A’s 3B goes yard to give Jays a lead” in the pool? This is why you make bets very specific…
The A’s are currently ranked #7 on BPs hit list, just ahead of the Royals.
@Thunderbutt: I’d hit that.
Toronto, however, is ranked #2.
Lawrie: 1
Donaldson: 0
Graveman: -6
RF bleachers are riding Bautista hard, abs he’s responding.
What’s the matter with Jose?
They had a good “Not an All-Star” clap clap, clap clap clap thing going.
Crazy, Bautista isv regularly turning and yelling back at fans.
from before the game:
“The pitcher supplying the power” argument is really one of my least favorite.
I think games like this make me feel sorry for myself that we as fans are stuck with Glenn and Ray.
These four games with Ken have improved my attitude about watching a mediocre team immensely.
I am probably making this up, but I could have sworn I at one point saw the option with MLB.TV to have the radio broadcast play on top of the video.
That options seems to come and go, or maybe it’s only available with certain broadcasts, which do not include the A’s.
They claim you can do it as a feature of Premium.
Hey, I got it! Though the option to adjust the audio setting is certainly not conspicuous via the Roku.
Ant Man is fun!
Odd choice for a franchise, but Ima gonna see it.
I liked it much more than Age of Ultron.
Damn, bum luck.
Tomorrow’s root beer float day is at night, again. So lame.
I really want to go see Ellis, but there’s no one who can cover my shift.
Graveman isn’t giving up any cheapies tonight. They’re bombs.
Good retort.

Argh. Too late, Bob.
Well, Otero still sucks.
The A’s are still around?
They have uniforms and everything.
It’s not easy, being green.
Anyone can have a uniform.
