Bet big and lost with the Angels yesterday and of course, today I bet the Athletics and they make Lackey look golden up there on the mound.

Hopefully Blanton can keep up the solid pitching so that these Athletics can make a comeback.

I hope so too. I bought some interactive A's at 21 at WSEX.

Athletics with 2 men on base and 1 out courtesy of a HBP and a walk...

Bases loaded with a little help from Lackey deflecting that ground ball....

this looks like the opportunity the As will have to make the comeback.

Lackey's pitch count over 90 now, and his control looks off right now.

He's throwing it in the dirt every other throw. We need a score to keep this going.

Kielty blows the opportunity to cut into the lead. :finger:
Hopefully the As can get some more opportunities with 3 innings left.

He should have taken that pitch with the way Lackey was throwing...but no. major leaguers hardley ever take the pitch when they should. They always have to get the hit, be the hero.

I hope the 7th, 8th and 9th are good.

The As are really blowing a great outing by Blanton.....

No runs scored last inning and now in the 7th, Lackey strikes out the first 2 he sees.

Pathetic.

Chen, I'm hoping for the classic manager mistake. Leaving a guy in too long. Lackey at 106 pitches already, and around this point even offenses that were being shut down will usually start to get a hit or two. They may leave him in one batter too long.

I've seen that time and time again Omni. No one seems to want to get an RBI with a walk no matter how poorly the pitcher is pitching.

Blanton is lights out again for the 7th.....


Can Oakland get some damn runs on the board with 2 more innings left? Shields has been good, so our only hope may be K-rod in the 9th doing his usual thing of blowing games...

I know what you mean. What's been K-rod's problem lately? He is part of the reason I took the bet on the A's.

Hatteberg weakly swings and misses at the first 2 pitches and then weakly hits one through for an RBI

C'mon Kielty...you screwed up that last bases loaded situation...please don't do it again
