Where is everyone?
Stranded on the bases
They really have made an art of not getting runners in.
“The Corroder” would be an excellent b&w NYC-based comic book idea.
Did CK not give up a run in the first? IS SUCH A THING EVEN POSSIBLE?
Two whole innings without a run.
Bombers be back, WOE be gone. Kuroda shutting out the worst hitting team in the game.
Who is this new Teixeira guy? Is he related to that Mark Teixeira who really started to suck after 2009?
Is Arod’s slugging really above .400?
edit: add 20 points of on base and subtract 20 points of slugging from Arod and we’re looking at the production I’d like to see from Gardner.
[9] If you’re seeing Gardners you should contact a physician immediately.
Kenny Singleton quoting Young MC.
Yay Rays, Yay Aceves
Bombers gone, WOE be back, Kuroda shutting out worst hitting team in the game still
dred - our MC?
These guys are PATHETIC.
You’d think the A’s would have learned to slide by now. Still, really nice play by Teix.
Sometimes you just have to tip your cap to… to… wait, do you really?
Teixeira! Less terrible than before!
Where, oh where would this team be without Constanmarko Marteira?
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves, the A’s big hitters are coming up…hahahaha.
Apparently Crisp refused a rehab assignment and is like 1-25 since coming back. I didn’t know players could do that.
EDIT: 1-22, Singleton says.
Stupid Crisp.
Kuroda for the 8th? Strange.
[23]
Thinking the same thing. What happens when the pitcher goes over 100 pitches? Hmmm…
123. Ok, guess it’s Kuroda for the 9th.
I guess so!
The umpire is just asking to get hit by a meteorite for showboating on that strikeout dance.

Robot/Android umpires simply emit a few beeps and whirrs after a called third strike. Hardly noticeable.
Aceves with the blown save and loss to TB.
Another 1-2-2-3 inning for Soriano.
Yay win. Saw the last two outs. I guess corroder was ok?

So, they would sound like a Zip drive emitting the death click where it eats all the data on the disk ?
At least we cut our deficit to 2.5 before we get swept by the Angels.
[33] The issue is not the defitifit* with the Angels. It is the lead over the Townies. Which is Scothisia-proof, thanks to today’s win.
* I can’t find my reading glasses. I know this is wrong, bnoout I can’t see well enough to correct it. And I’m too laxy to try.
** Also, I’m drubl.

I like Hughes against that RHH heavy lineup. Maybe even Nova can keep the momentum going. Come at me, bro.
