Started with Kendrys? Dude it started way before that. 

 

Can you think of a point between Kendrys and the World Series? That's the era I'm kinda referring to, after 2002 cause that was a year where the curse would be broke IMO.

But yeah if you think Mo Vaughn, didn't he fall into the dugout like the first game of the season? In that instance it does go a bit further back.

The A's have done a great job working counts

They always do that against us, they freaking grind our pitchers. I'm not sure if they're always like that against other teams, but they play us like we're the frickin' Yanks every time.

Yea, A's very obviously have the make this guy throw strikes approach going.  I guess that's as always though.

First pitch grounded to third.

Pujols in a slump already

[tdawg87]

Albert "1 pitch 1 quick out" Pujols

[eligrba4ever]

Cron possibly starts something.

[CaliAngel]

Richards throws 24 freaking pitches and Pujols swings at the first freaking pitch and grounds it to third, jesus christ, ever heard of fundamental baseball?

But it was a "sharp" ground ball, according to Terry Smith.

And he comes around to score! Good start.

 

[CaliAngel]

SIMMONS! Way to go! I love little piddly hits that make a big difference!

[UndertheHalo]

Well this is good. 

[eligrba4ever]

NIce hitting, Simba. Timely.

[tdawg87]

Simmons seems to be picking up right where he left off last year. Good sign.

[CaliAngel]

F*** YES! Man I love hearing this type of action. Not such a yawner like in years past.

[fan_since79]

Bottom of the order coming through again!

[CaliAngel]

Giving Richards that early lead is awesome.

[Jason]

Espinosa picking up Angel base running quickly

[CaliAngel]

Why would you do that to kill momentum.
