honestly, i hope the lack of fans this year will hurt mccourt right where his heart lays, in his wallet.

Dammit

and it cost Ely his first ML win. Gah.

So we win it with a 9th inning walk off

worse things have happened. I mean, the entire Twilight series for one

Look at that, he hit the f*cking bull! Guy gets a free steak!

by Josie Becker on May 6, 2010 10:23 PM PDT reply actions  

2nd inning of Broxton if Carroll didn’t get on. But now you have to PH him. But I’d say Monk for two innings now.

by Tripon on May 6, 2010 10:26 PM PDT up reply actions  

unsharp broxton is better than whatever Sherrill is right now.

by Tripon on May 6, 2010 10:28 PM PDT up reply actions  

you may be right, Tripon

let’s hope we don’t have to find out

Ill drive down to the stadium and throw the 10th if you want, Joe

Ned can now sleep peacefully after sending Ely back down… “See, the kid doesn’t even have a win to his name.”

has GA ever bunted in his 400 yr long career

by hee came hee seop'd he choi'd on May 6, 2010 10:26 PM PDT up reply actions  

14 bunts in his career. 12 sacrifice bunts and 2 reached on errors.

by Alex41592 on May 6, 2010 10:30 PM PDT up reply actions  

Loney should start pitching an inning or two

by hee came hee seop'd he choi'd on May 6, 2010 10:25 PM PDT reply actions  

Torre is the unquestioned master of leaving a pitcher in to bat in a crucial spot then yanking him the following inning. It never/always fails.

by kinbote on May 6, 2010 10:26 PM PDT reply actions  

Could have sent Nick Green up to bunt. But goes with GA.

I wish the ushers at Dodger Stadium were cooler about moving

down in the late innings. Should have to suffer in the uppers for no reason

Yeah, but if the win doesn’t go to one Isotope, I wouldn’t mind seeing it going to the other.

practically a sell out at Big Phone, double the attendance at any A’s game. But nah you’re right:

Don't they base attendance on the gate?

I figured that’s why it takes so long to announce

Back in the day it was the turnstile count
Now tickets sold – lots of season ticket holders not attending
But hey, it’s early in the season right?

by 68elcamino427 on May 6, 2010 10:35 PM PDT up reply actions  

right

come August there’ll be 50k in the stands, and a great deal of them baseball knowledgeable. LA’s got some great crowds, we just conserve our energy. I mean these Philly guys getting banned from the park in April, what’s up with that?

Look at that, he hit the f*cking bull! Guy gets a free steak!

Well, its also a midweek game against the Brewers

Even in last place, the Ravine would have been rocking with the Pods, G-Men, Rockies or some team like the Cubs or St. Louis
