Derek Norris

3-run homer with two outs in the bottom of the 8th inning puts Oakland ahead 8-7.

 

Now he guns down the potential tying run in the 9th attempting to steal.

 

Norris was hitting .195 entering tonight's game.

What is sadder is us (me included) begging Cubs to help us out in early July.

Jeez. Repeat of last year I see. Annoying as hell but you gotta give them credit

Wonder how many fans showed up tonight with BART still on strike.

In other MLB action, it's hard to believe that 41-year-old Ibanez has 20 HR's (he hit another one tonight). 

[fan_since79]

I'm kinda thinking the 41-year old Pujols will probably not hit 20 HR's.

Maybe he got inspired by the Mathis story?

Even harder to believe that Raul's now 21 home run total leads the ALW . . .

Cruz 20

Trumbo 19

Carter 17

Ibanez is just engaging in A's players' favorite pastime.

The guy could always hit.

I'm kinda thinking the 41-year old Pujols will probably not hit 20 HR's.

 

He hit 30 last year.

[tdawg87]

He hit 30 last year.

 

I see what you did there.

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

The guy could always hit.

I know that. That wasn't the point. He has 21 HR's and he's on pace to easily hit over 30 HR's, In his long MLB career, he's only hit over 30 HR's twice (in 2006 in Seattle and in 2009 while hitting in a HR ballpark). At 41 he has a good chance to have a career high in HR's. He's only played in 65 of the M's 86 games and he's hit more HR's than a lot of power hitters that are 10+ years younger than him.

PEDs?

[Brent Maguire]

Wouldn't surprise me if he got caught with PED's but he looks like he's in good shape still for a guy his age.

He sucks at everything else but he still has plenty of pop.
