Kansas City Royals at Oakland A's-April 11

[SuperChief]

****ing lame. Had to watch the ESPN Gamecast as I'm at work; it showed up with 2 straight HBP, and I thought it was a mistake for sure on ESPN's end.

He's actually acquired some decent talent on a budget. Some bad misses too, but what gm hasnt? It's a marathon not a sprint. We gotta believe in the process, after all GMDM > Baird > Herk > hand warts > anal warts > penile warts > herpes > HIV > Aids. Accurate?

This one hurts more because of the implications, coming to play your home opener after an uplifting 4-2 start brimming with confidence is different than flying east after blowing a W in extra innings at 3-3.

Oh well, long season.

3 years from now we'll be going like "remember when Broxton hit two guys in extra innings to lose the game?"

I didn't see the last inning on my gamecast. How bad was the last inning? Ken Harvey bad?...watch out for the tarp! And don't stand between the cutoff man and the catcher on the relay throw!

Broxton threw pretty much every pitch in the exact same spot. 2 feet outside to the lefties. The rightys came up & he threw it in the same spot and hit both of them in 2 pitches. It was pretty bad.

I think I sum it up very simply:

The A's did not get a hit, and scored two unearned runs.

Now a little perspective: in NFL terms, we're about a minute and a half into the 3rd quarter of the 1st game against an average team, and we're tied 10-10.

Broxton was Cassel and Jonny Gomes was the crossbar.

Who are we playing? Needs to be a team great on one side of the ball led by a superstar, but horrid on the other side.

WTF does this mean. Stupid post. We all now it's a marathon and not a sprint. A 3-3 road trip out of the shoot is probably what we all expected. Our starting pitching has been nails and we have some young gamers. Give em a chance. I didn't think we would win a game in Anaheim and we took 2/3. We were outgunned in every game. Me thinks this team is gonna surprise. Get on board of GTFU.

Talk about a stupid post.

Go back and read it again, fool. I've been one of the more optimistic people on the board, how the hell could you read negativity into that? I'm pretty much agreeing with your premise.
