why would they take collins out? He needs the work.

Made sense to call in a guy who just gave up two runs the day before.

/Farmer Ned

GREAT OAKLAND ATHLETICS HIGHLIGHT THERE.

Ah **** yea, that is what I am talking about!

Wait, we are the A's right?

Trade Gutierrez to Baltimore for Machado.

Baltimore needs a real guy to close their games.

Hats off the A's. We owe them, or something.

when was the last time the Royals win game 1 of a series at home? Seems teams just come in and kick our shit in

Please God let Gordon be able to play tomorrow.

The Royals and Chiefs have forced me into a deep-seeded need for sports video games. Damn you, teams!

I bet the A's franchise wishes it was in KC now. I mean, at least they get real facilities in KC and the clubhouse doesn't get flooded with shit.

I'll be happy when KC is done with oakland.

AND THE RALLY BEGINS

Only if Jim Johnson was pitching.

NO SHITOUT

Esky needed that in the worst way.

ROFL

Giveitup Gutierrez's 3 runs killed us

Hos is destroying the MLB's world right now. He has squared up every AB tonight.

I can't sleep on my stomach at night thinking about how good his swing is looking!

FYP

Damn that top of the 9th inning.

omg if we score 3 runs im going to be pissed

Prepare to be pissed.

LMAO Here we go....

OH GAWD

OH LAWD!

What is this I don't even

Time to redeem yourself, LoCain.

This kind of sucks... LMAO I really don't want to get close and then lose.

Epic letdown to ensue!

LoCain can make it all better right here.

Come on Cain, you ****. You costed us 2 runs with your bonehead error.

Man the **** up.

If Cain gets on base...do you let Gordon pinch hit?

Unfortunately, I think he is actually not cleared by MLB, which I heard.

Swung at ball 3

It's all up to Moose now....

Come on Moose

Instead of taking a walk, Cain hits into a FC. Nice job dumb****.

Oh ****....it's Moose.

:facepalm:

Ya .... Idiot Cain only jacked a GSlam on the 4th .... lets hammer him

MOOSE IS DUE

Show the haters Moose

I'm not watching the game, just following it in Game Cast...why didn't they pinch run for Billy?

Simmer down there champ.

Was wondering the same thing.

Swung at ball 1.

Lol nice first swing Mike!

Whats the point? You need three more runs.

Had to laugh, that guy in a gray shirt looked so wasted....

That sucked

Goddammit.

Welp... Atleast we didn't lose 6-5

More speed I guess?

Bah

At least we made it interesting

bullpen costs us again

I would say the defense cost us today, on several counts.

And the inconsistent Royals offense decides to wait until the 9th inning to get off their asses. LMAO

Well, "Salute the A's" weekend is off to a flying start. Tonight we roll over and play dead for eight innings, because its not polite to salute your opponent then, you know, beat him. Tomorrow you get a T-Shirt with a Jackass on the front and you can stick your fist up a mule's ass before the game if you want to. Sunday they should dig up Charles Finley's corpse so every fan can kiss his dead, wrinkled ass. I'm assuming they're going to permit themselves to be swept, because it wouldn't be nice to salute your opponent then actually beat them. Just not good sportsmanship.

Oh and here's a fun tidbit. When the Royals have drawn 25,000 or more at home this year, they're 0-8. The bigger the crowd, the worse they play.

Outside of Opening Day, right?

Opening day they lost 1-0 to the Chisox. So it includes opening day.

That was an away game. They won their first home game 3-1 against the Twins.

EDIT: I can not find any other games where this occurred, however.

Frustrating team. no consistency at all. I'll bet this team finishes with 79 or 80 wins in 3rd place. Progress....

The horse has long been dead, but we absolutely have to add a right handed bat if we have any hopes for contention.
