Yesterday was a sad day for the Bay Area, A's, Warriors, Giants and the Sharks lost.

Nice to see Ross beat Haren tonight.

Donaldson's OPS is about to drop below .200. PULL THE PLUG!!!

I would much rather have Sogard play all year at 3rd than see Donaldson there. At least build up Sogard's value. Bring in Rosales as the utility.

Cespy with the clutch single and RBIs.

Meanwhile, I'm starting to see glimpses of a real bat from Barton. He's hit several balls that have either ended up off the wall, over the wall, or robbed by a great catch. This is the most pop I think I've ever seen from him.

Let's go boys, build on that great win last night.

BARTOLO

 

[bigbrandon]

Yoenis is a monster! He hits those home runs so effortlessly. And it looked like that was a breaking ball he took over then pen. Take that scouting report!

 

[urb]

Cespedes with the home run! I'm waiting for gameday to have video of it since I'm at work.

Cespedes HR

Beat me to it 

 

[GreenNGold89]

Colon threw 108 pitches. 82 of them were strikes.

 

[wearinthefourfive]

'TOLO!

I had a good feeling about this game, I should've bet on it.

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

 

[bigbrandon]

Taking two in Anaheim 

. Our own radio broadcast counted us out. Held them to only 4 hits & got 6 runs... That's the swingin A's... Bartolo 38 consecutive strikes

..... WOW 

 Fastball working K'n em...
And Yoenis with the Gold teeth in 

 

[bigbrandon]

Welcome to Oakland 

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Son really has gold teeth though

Still can't believe Colon threw 82 strikes today. That... is incredible.

 

[wearinthefourfive]

Up 4-2 off of mostly Angel mistakes, I ain't even mad.


Josh Donaldson's OPS has dropped to .192; let that sink in for a second.

 

[GreenNGold89]

We have to have the worst corner infielders in the history of baseball, and we are somehow .500.

 

[wearinthefourfive]

CELEBRATE GOOD TIMES, COME ON!!!!

3 of 4 from the Halos, color me shocked.
