Rauuoooool.
Settle down, Hughesie. Man, this could be one of those nights, huh?
Angels get Greinke. Damn.
[2] Heard that on the LA ESPN affiliate as I was pulling into the driveway. The AL West ought to be a hell of a race.
[2] ESPN has the trade as Greinke for "shortstop Jean Segura and two Double-A pitchers, according to FoxSports.com"
JETAH!
Well, that was an interesting choice by Gonzalez.
Well done Tesh, see what happens when you don't try and pull everything?
Ugh.
That's just ... not awesome, Phil.
Bodie go BOOM!
Wow, so it turns out to be a decent start for Phil!
I mean, 3 HR is not a good start, but, 3R in 7IP, and he finished strong.
Yeah, it certainly didn't feel like it was going to be a good game for him, but he battled early and then settled down.
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuughes!
Hey all! First time I get to talk to you all since my est coast trip.
[10] Catfish had a very good career giving up solo homers.
[12] West, not East, right?
[13] Hm, true, but.
[14] Yeah, West. Saw the Yankees in Oakland and a Giants/Padres game on the bay
[12] Howdy, MP, where out est did your trip take you?
=)
[16] Random Telecomm Park is a great place to catch a game if the weather is nice.
The Oakland Coliseum ... not so much.
Hammered.
[18] AT&T is just gorgeous, especially at night.
From the outside, the Oakland Coliseum is every bad thing you've ever heard. A big, ugly, dirty, concrete bowl.
From the inside, it has some charm. Its not great or anything, but its nicer than it appears on TV.
I would not object to an Ichiro bunt here.
I would be okay with an Ichiro steal here.
Grrrr.
Well, what's a night without some #RiSPFail?
OTOH, I root for Dancin' Melancin. I thought he got a raw deal from the Yankees, so I hope he does well ...
OT*O*OH ... I like Curtis more, so ... GRANDYMAN!!!
GranderSLAM.
Wow, that was really satisfying.
Double digits, so our work here is done.
Nice, grand slam. Costas is driving me crazy as usual so I decided to check in on the game.
Hm, was it wise to use our Secret Weapon with a 7 run lead?
Good enough, CE.
Well, I guess he was out at 2nd ...
