We had some really bad errors on our part. We had base runners but couldn't bring them in. Blackley strained his neck on a play he didn't need to dive for. We should of taken him out. Plus Chen was dealing today. Like T-Rip said you can't win them all. We went 4-2 on the road and won both series. <<<<< That's good shit.

Our whole fucken pitching staff was money tonight. Theres a reason the A's win all these extra inning games and capable of getting these walkoffs. Sure every now and then a reliever will blow the lead but damn ever since we changed to Cook as the closer shit has been so much better.

21 k's. the top 3 of the order batted 1 for 20 with 8 k's. Reddick had a supremely rough game. Inge also k'ed four times. Price was on tonight, except for Hicks dinger (who also put a great swing on it). Dope as fuck walk off, I couldnt believe when I got off work at midnight that the game was still going.



Here are the walkoffs:

Gomes against the Royals 4/11 (hit by pitch)
Kila against the White Sox 4/25 (bloop single)
Inge against the Blue Jays 5/8 (grandslam)
Yoenis against the Dodgers 6/21 (3 run blast)
Norris against the Giants 6/24 (3 run blast)
Crisp against the Red Sox 7/4 (sacrifice fly)
Carter against the Mariners 7/6 (3 run blast)
Reddick against the Mariners 7/8 (double)
Hicks against the Rangers 7/18 (solo blast)
Moss against the Yankees 7/20 (single to right)
Crisp(2nd) against the Yankees 7/22 (single to right)
Weeks against the Rays 7/30 (sacrifice fly)
...to be continued



the media is unbelievable...the headline on mlb.com is "rays fall in 15th"....not "A's collect another walk off win", etc. let alone win their franchise best (for the month of July) 19th win.


and im going to the game on Weds, first day game I've been to (which is way too long of a drought) of the year. Gonna perk it in the parking lot per usual

so glad we started this series with a win. there's not a single person, a's or giants fan, who would have predicted the A's would have a better record than the Giants come Aug. 2nd.

Reddick turned on that pitch nicely, solid, even, balanced two hand stroke (no homo) that parked it in deep right field. That's pure power. Not too many players can do that in the Coliseum.

Cespedes also had a great game, 0 for 1 with 3 walks, I'll fuckin take that
