This!!!!! ^
Same goes for Ramirez.
And Gonzales.
Two months ago, we would have given you Ethier, but I think he's better off where he is for the time being.
You guys are blessed to have him. You know a guy can really hit when he goes deep when the ball hits the handle like he did in the tenth last night.

The kid is the man.
I didn't even want James Loney to go. Of course after he leaves he bats .316 & 46 rbi's.
Now to get Billingsley, Beckett, & Kemp back on the field.

Hmmph... Fenway, Angel Stadium, Rangers Ballpark, Dodger Stadium, Great American Ballpark
NOOOO. All Dodgers stay can't disrupt the chemistry.
Of course the media 2 months ago were like,"what do we do about don baseball is his job on the line?" Yeah right. Obviously they were just trying to stir up a story/drama. Psh.
Look at those salaries. Ridiculous. http://espn.go.com/mlb/team/roster/_/name/lad/los-angeles-dodgers
I'll try to go in order:
Stadiums I've been to for games:
60's Busch (Stadium of my childhood)
Wrigley (Urinal troughs. Enough said.)
Miller (Sausages!)
Coors
New Busch
New Comiskey / The Cell (Does Gordon Beckham still use "I don't want to loose your love, toniiiight" as his at-bat song?)
Nationals Park (GIANT concourses. GO TEDDY!)
The Coliseum (Right Field Bleachers are AWESOME. Love the fans there.)
AT&T (Also a couple games in a kayak in McCovey Cove)
The Big A (Carl's Jr. AND Panda Express?!)
Camden Yards (just this month -- Natty Boh and waffle fries with crab dip, please! Also, "O's" is the best nickname. Every song ever is fair game. "Oh oh oh...")
Stadiums been outside of (no games when I was in town):
Kauffman
The Jake (No longer a mistake?)
Citizens Bank (Watch out for laser pointers, tasers and getting vomited on.)
Tropicana
Safeco (Very cool retractable roof)
Petco Park
Dodgers Stadium (Got chased off by security while trying to peek through the chain link fence around the parking lot!)
Rangers Ballpark (Even the ballparks are bigger in Texas)
And The Cell is the best stadium for metal, IME. Although Oakland is right there with them. Balfour and his Metallica intro's a good sight.
Thanks!
Was this before or after Mount Davis?
After. :/ My first game there was August 2009.
It's a great run they're on this seasons. Hope they can keep it up.
Oh i am loving it...
That stadium is a mix for me... i love the fans, i love the feel of it during A's games. I absolutely hate Mount Davis and atmosphere Raiders bring to that place. Just wish Giants would stop being douches and allow A's to get a new stadium.
Well, back to watching the game/working
Go A's!!!
Augh!! Rain delay middle of the ninth!? inning!
Hoping the delay isn't a full two hours like the Root Sports crew was saying it might be and that the rain stops SOON so my Rox can come back and rally for only 3 runs to win it!!
*crossing fingers*

Cool move by the Brewers owner: http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/9518562/milwaukee-brewers-distribute-10-vouchers-august-games
It feels awkward to say, but at 5-5 in the last 10 games, the Pirates are floundering a little bit.
Five game home series with the Cardinals starts tonight. The pennant race is heating up already.

Yeah, I'm hoping for the best, but expecting the worst with this series. They always seem to have trouble with the Cards & Reds. It would be huge if they could take the series. If not, it could be the beginning of yet another late-season collapse.
Walk-off HR in the bottom of the 11th is a nice way to close things out. With the exception of that one mistake, however, the Reds pitching was dominating - 20 Ks.
Braves lose starting pitcher Hudson to season-ending injury.
Braves trade for a 37 year old LH relief pitcher (Downs - LAA).
What?!
All I got to say is that Beachy better get back up to speed in a hurry. His start last night was not exactly stellar. Wanna see an 8 game lead evaporate?

One down, four to go Pirates. Impressive showing in game one, 9-2 win. On another Pirates note, Grilli says he will be back for the stretch run.
Tough loss for Boston last night in that tight race. Did anyone else see the bad call in the play at the plate?
-Mike

Yeah. Horrible call. That's the same umpire who blew the call in the Pirates game a couple years ago. In that game, McHenry CLEARLY made the tag at home plate and yet the (same) ump called him safe. Bucs went into a 12 game swoon and played themselves right out of a winning season.
