Chen started out shaky, giving up a 2 run HR to A's catcher. O's have now battled back and tied it. Crush got a solo HR in the 4th.

In other news, the Johan Santana experiment is over, as he tore his Achilles.

 

[jeffro151]

Manny with a solo to take a 3-2 lead. Lots of drama in this game.

WTF O'Day???

 

[all4ripken]

Well done O'Day.....

 

[jeffro151]

The BP blows another one.

The BP blows another one.

Always seems to be one or the other. BP is great but starters get rocked, get a good start then blow a close lead...

 

[jeffro151]

Seriously Crush? The ball was hit straight to CF, surely you didn't think you could leg out a double?

 

[all4ripken]

Was about to say that would be a great time for Hardy ' first HR. But I'll take a leadoff hit.

 

[jeffro151]

This umps strike zone has been all over the place tonight.

 

[jeffro151]

Young

 

[all4ripken]

Another left in scoring position.

 

[all4ripken]

Wow, surprised they didn't put JJ in against Jones. Cmon, make em pay for it...

 

[all4ripken]

Are you fucking kidding me Buck??????? Taking the bat away from Davis????

 

[jeffro151]

Stupid ass baserunning tonight

 

[jeffro151]

This team is a fucking joke

 

[all4ripken]

Who didn't see this horseshit coming? Nice call up on Meek, lol.

 

[jeffro151]

Goodnight. This one is done.

 

[all4ripken]

Yet another loss I think you can blame on Buck. You CANNOT get thrown out at home twice in the same inning. Not to mention trying to have one of your slowest players try to steal home and take the bat out of the hands of a guy who hit 53 HRs last year, and already has one in this game.
