THE CHOKELAND A's

[Blarg]

Dunn in his prime had a high obp even though he struck out a ton. It separates him from the Mark Trumbo power hitter that hits like Dunn for a low average but doesn't get on base via the walk. Neither player really fits into a Moneyball equation, Dunn creates his own high market value, Trumbo is the false market that you trade, not aquire.

At least we have this, right guys?

As bad as this series has been, it is a mere speck next to the monumental size of the A's chokeage.

TANKNAHEIM !

The series isn't over yet guys.

 

I hope the Royals fans aren't assuming a win yet, because my brother sure was around the 7th inning on Tuesday.

I bet their fans remember 85 when they lost their first two  WS games  AT HOME . lol

Don't fret, little induans.  CJ is going to deal tomorrow.

A's , I'm sorry you lost. I was cheering for your crappy team and retarded fans to beat the Royals.

 

Now we've got Cain, Okey-Dokey, and that little rat bastard Chone Figgens look-alike stealing 2nd on Ianetta.

 

I miss you.

Karma is one mean ol' lady...

I'd still rather be playing KC. This series would be too meaningful if it had been us vs. the A's. With our current lack of hitting and the A's pitching we could have expected probably a worse result than what we are currently getting. i guess you never know- maybe facing them would have pumped our guys up, but I wouldn't put money on it.

Regardless what the Angels do, I'll still always enjoy watching a division rival lose when it matters

 

I'm sure RAngers, A's and Mariners fans are enjoying this Angels performance as well. And on it goes

The only team I kind of like seeing lose is the Giants.

 

Rangers, Astros, Angels, Mariners. Makes no real difference.

 

I thought the Angels might get past the Royals since Shields wouldn't be available till game 3 and it's a lot of those guys first time in the playoffs, but I didn't think they'd win the World Series or get past the ALCS.

 

Howie would eventually come back to Earth.

Aybar batting 5th?

Hamilton. Well, there's already been 30 threads about him.

Scioscia is also really stubborn about not moving Ianetta up in the order. He has a .879 ops vs lefties and bats ninth vs Vargas?

and obviously no Richards and Skaggs.

I agree.
