Game 120 Thread: August 19 @ Athletics, 12:30p

This is how we all feel today

Alex Wood (8-7, 3.74) vs. Jesse Chavez (6-12, 3.84)

Sax is feeling too salty to speak publicly. Stubbs is still wandering around a hot parking lot looking for free beer. And Nomo is figuring out which urban city in decline he'll insult next on Twitter. We're all feeling salty after last night's bullpen debacle.

I think loyal SoSG reader Karen summed up last night's shittacular the best:

"FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK THE WORLD"

Indeed. Let's get out there and take one back this afternoon. It won't cure what ails us but it'll be a start.

Bonus game note: Dodgers are now 0-1 with Ron Roenicke coaching third.

Am I wrong, or does our Ron bear some resemblance to the Dodgers' newest Ron? We should do a switcheroo and get into some shenanigans.

FB still angry

Dusty Baker said...

For a team with a lot of depth, and allegedly some power hitting, having SVS in DH slot is kinda meh. No cut to SVS, but...

Hideo Nomo said...

I guess that "worst first place team" stuff we were discussing is holding true. No way they go anywhere in October without some sort of miraculous hot streak.

(Though, I'm convinced that's how ALL teams win in the postseason. Goddamn crapshoot.)

Hideo Nomo said...

Simultaneous hamstring Twitter jokes?

Dusty Baker said...

Did someone say streak?

Hideo Nomo said...

I've caught the shitty Photoshop bug lately.

Is that what you do in a van down by the river?

Hideo Nomo said...

Chase Buttley? Whatever, Farhan.

I'm too sober for baseball

Dusty Baker said...

I am getting drunk, Jason. What's your problem man?!? #Staycation2015

karen said...

Oakland's favorite son comes home!!! JRoll 2 run homer puts Good Guys up 2-1....

Orel said...

Wonder who we traded for Utley

QuadSevens said...

I hope we traded Baez.

Dusty Baker said...

Feeble reasons to lime Utely:

Grew up a Dodgers fan
From Pasadena

That's all I got.

...and the unraveling has begun...

Hatcher up in the arson pen...somewhere, FB just got a cold chill up his spine...

3-2 A's

QuadSevens said...

I think Victorino was the last Phillie guy we got midseason. So as long as Utley plays better then he did, I'll like him.

Steve Sax said...

Rick just called him Adrian Ethier.

spank said...

we got the bullpen doing it's best Hiroshima impressions and the GM goes out and gets Muttley. i'm done.

Pride of Dong said...

wow, I know it's hot in Fresno, but 2 meltdowns and no offense?

Fred's Brim said...

It's taken me 120 games to realize we are dogshit in the road and I should just be happy we win at all away from Chavez Ravine

Steve Sax said...

Giants lose!
