2013 Oakland A's Thread...

[Cut-Throat]

Fuck Yeah!!!!! jump on Scherzer early!!!! lets keep this rolling...

 

[T-Rip]

I feel like breaking something right now. Balfour shouldnt have even been brought in. Dont need to bring the closer every time in the 9th

 

[Chuco]

Well that fuckin sucks, would've been sweet to sweep the tigers.

 

[Chuco]

Fuck, balfour blew it.

 

[DubbC415]

wow, what the fuck happened. 4 runs in the ninth? and a fucking walk off by Hunter? FUCK.


at least we took 3 outta four, and Scherzer didnt get his 20th win. also, Moss and Lowrie are on a fucking TEAR. and its only Balfours second blown save.

 

[ALL BOUT CHICKEN]

that was pretty fucking stupid...

thats why hes the "closer". and an all star closer... these things happen...

 

[T-Rip]

i know it happens. It happened a lot to us in the first half of last season but with a 3 run lead its not requirement to bring him in

 

[Cut-Throat]

thats Balfour's second blown save. should be encouraged when he comes in the game.

 

[REACHTMO]

not a big deal if he can shake it off.

take the 3-4 and try to sweep tampa bay. Need to do the same thing to tampa's starters as we did to detroit's.(get ahead early)

 

[allcalclothing]

3 of 4 from Detroit you say? I'll take it!
even tho that hr given up by Balfour was a killer..
Tampon Bay at home tonight should be a good game hope we can keep this offense going.
I'll be there, who else is goin?

 

[T-Rip]

haha, Suzuki back in full effect. I knew that shit wasn't gonna be caught by how well of contact he made

 

[Cut-Throat]

The mad Aussie back on track...

 

[Cut-Throat]

Fuck yeah!!!! Mad Aussie does again... Why the fuck do they keep bringin him in?!?!?!

 

[T-Rip]

lol how close did he come to blowing it again? Congrats on him blowing the shutout. If it wasnt for that Coco homer we would have been fucked

 

[Cut-Throat]

You think they give a fuck about shutouts in all honesty? They got a W and kept pace with Texas and that's all that matters...

 

[allcalclothing]

so I'm at the game yesterday, looked all around and told my girl there has to be about 20,000+ here. 75-80% of the luxury suites were full plus about 65% of the stadium. I get home and get on another A's fan chat room and some one says " it's a shame there was only 16,000 in attendance"
here comes a conspiracy theory lol
I can see how saying 5,000 less would look good for Lew Wolf & Co and their whole thing about fans not coming out and supporting the A's.

your thoughts?

 

[Cut-Throat]

It looked less than half full on tv last night. It only holds 35k with luxury suites, so 16k sounds about right... Looked like a pretty good crowd tonight. Fireworks nite .brings out a lot of casual fans though. I've been to 12 games this year. Pretty low for me, but my Damn kid needs to eat and have clothes and shit...

 

[allcalclothing]

good series against the Rays, Texas up next. imma try to go Wednesday. any one going to a game this series?

 

[allcalclothing]

fireworks does bring out the casual fans, nice time to take out the fam. even when the A's play extra innings they'll have the fireworks no matter what time the game ends. I remember goin to a game that didn't end til around the 14 or so inning and it was past midnight when they had the fireworks. the neighborhoods around the coliseum don't mind they are used to the loud bangs maybe not the lights in the sky tho lol
