A's are waiting to celebrate the win, the bastards.

Off we go to the tenth because De Fratus gets out of jam.

Sogard K's! To the 10th.

Looks like you brought the team some luck, retro. Are we still out of the playoffs?

 

[jvett77]

With 2 outs Franco almost gets all of it with a deep fly to left.

 

[Retroram52]

I thought tha Franco ball was gone. I think we are not going to any post season affair jvett.

That's right. We're 20 games out. Geez, it's seems like a few weeks ago we were within 11 games of first. lol.

 

[Retroram52]

M. Gonzalez is in. A new guy. One of the extras like on a movie set.

 

[Retroram52]

And the new guy serves up the homer. Couldn't have been a more fitting ending.

 

[Retroram52]

Off we go to Miami and the eastern time zone 71-85. What a miserable west coast swing that was.

 

[jvett77]

Hmmm, I missed it. God, Phils stink.

Two run shot. Gaonzalez threw right down the pike and bank it was out of here. Freakin' dumpster reclamation project apparently by you know who!!!

lol. I remember when early reports made MAG sound like the reincarnation of Livan Hearnandez and that we were signing him for six years at $60 million. Then they discovered his arm/shoulder problem and he ended up with a 3-year, $12 million contract. The Phillies must have the worst, dumbest scouts in baseball. He should be in single A for 2 years.

 

[Retroram52]

At least, jvett.

 

[jvett77]

I'll tell you what impressed me today despite the loss. It was the wack that Franco gave the ball that appeared at first to be gone. Wait till he gets locked in. He's gonna be real good I think.
