Series Thread: Traveling to Kauffman Stadium to play the Royals

[Bmurph]

I know it was tough to lose this one today, but we've got zilch to complain about. We just won our sixth series in a row with the last one being on the road against the reigning AL champions. Let's keep it going in Oakland.

F THE OAKLAND A's

EG is apparently getting into it with some fans on Twitter who are ripping Kela's performance today and overall.

Sometimes guys like Perez just beat you. People jumping on him on twitter are the type to bitch about anything.

Exactly.

That is ridiculous. He has been pitching very well. That breaking pitch was looking nasty. Too bad that last fastball was not further in but I have no complaints with Kela.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

But let me remind myself here, he did get a nice hit and 2 RBI in the 7th.

He actually has had some good ABs in the last week. And this is coming from someone who has been all over him for being a mental midget at the plate.

Yikes...the misogyny tweets aimed at the woman who had the bad opinion as equally as bad.

Twitter is awful and should go away.

I guess I missed that Ohlendorf went back on the DL. No wonder Scheppers came in the 8th yesterday.

Yea, problems with his groin again.

It's only good for delivering sports news. That's all.

I never signed up for twitter. I don't need morons telling me I am wrong 24/7.

7-3 in Fenway park, Yankee stadium, and Kaufman. That's amazing.... Any team would take that. Those are 3 really tough places to play ( and win).

I use Bleacher Report, which is how I saw all this nonsense unfold to begin with.

Oakland has been a pain in the ass for years. I'm hoping for one and praying for 2. Even tho the A's suck so far.

They've been playing better recently, and that shithole is always tough to play in. Winning two would suit me just fine.

Everyone in the AL West lost.

Sherrington: Even though Rangers are playing like Daniels envisioned, he still needs to acquire an ace | Dallas Morning News

To be fair, he qualifies the idea as being dependent on the Rangers playing at the same winning % during the next month as they have in the past month, and he mentions that it doesn't have to necessarily be Hamels they go after. And I do like this statement as well: "Daniels won’t make a deal hoping to put the Rangers over the top. He made that mistake with Matt Garza. The smart move is making a trade just as you’re pulling away."

But there's a LOT of nonsense scattered throughout, such as: "Imagine a rotation of Darvish, Hamels, Holland, Perez and Gonzalez with Harrison and Nick Martinez in reserve."

Oh shut the fuck up Sherrington. No they do not need to acquire an ace. They need to play the season out without giving up anything significant for a win now proposition.
