Dodgers lose the series to the NL Central champion Pittsburgh Pirates? Typical.

 

[CygnusXS]

And now to ruin the rest of my evening by watching ESPN.

 

[Alex Anderson]

Ugh, Schilling in the booth.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Damn Frenchy got a HR and a BB. Now they'll send Lough back down despite hitting 60 points better.

Yeah, that's exactly was I was thinking when he hit it, ha ha. "Awesome, he hit an HR... Oh shit, now he's gonna start the rest of the year"

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Indians were a shitty Nick Swisher error away from sweeping the Nats.

Oh well, easier schedule is coming up.

easier than the nationals? impossible.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Didn't look at their schedule, but was referring to the Tigers.

Also, I like your avatar.

 

[CygnusXS]

Couldn't pitch like this last time Julio?

 

[Windu]

Couldn't pitch like this last time Julio?

how do you expect him to pitch well with you at the game?

 

[CygnusXS]

That's a fair question.

The Marlins won a series against a team other than the Mets?!

 

[jakncoke]

6 of our final 9 games are against the reds and we if things went on to be what they are now we play in the opening round. Damn that could be epic

 

[CygnusXS]

ESPN's camera angles are such shit.

 

[Talon]

That's a fair question.

What have you done!?

 

[Talon]

JUSTIN FUCKING UPTON

 

[Windu]

Nice catch by Upton.

ESPN's camera angles are such shit.

way to go.

 

[Runus]

Fantastic catch by Justin. May have saved the game.

In what equipment manager Steve Vucinich, a 46-year employee of the A’s, described as a first, the A’s and Mariners had to shower together in the Raiders’ second-floor locker room after today’s 10-2 Oakland win. Players from both teams trudged up and down one stairway in towels and shower shoes as both teams tried to get their flights out of town.

“It’s an unfortunate situation,” A’s third baseman Josh Donaldson said.

“Kind of a weird thing,” Oakland catcher John Jaso said. “The ups and downs of the Coliseum. Did you hear how loud it got in the stadium when Josh Reddick hit his triple? It was booming. Then you come in here and you’ve got to find another place to shower.”

Raw sewage backed up into both clubhouse shower areas, the umpires’ room and all bathrooms on the clubhouse level, as well as both managers’ offices and the Mariners’ training room. The umpires left without showering, as did much of the Mariners’ coaching staff and manager Eric Wedge.

“There is a blockage somewhere on the clubhouse level,” A’s vice president of stadium operations David Rinetti said. According to Rinetti, the team deals with this issue on a regular basis because of the age of the building, “but never to this extent.”

No other part of the building was affected on Sunday; the A’s drew 36,067, a sellout, which might have put additional strain on the aging plumbing, but leaking pipes and backed up drains are common even on days off because the facility was built in 1966. In addition, the field is 22 feet below sea level and the clubhouse level is 3 feet below sea level.

Asked about his team’s need for a new stadium, team president Michael Crowley said, “It’s clear, right? This isn’t the first time this has happened.”

The Angels filed a complaint about unsanitary conditions several years ago over the same problem, voicing concerns about E. coli in the training room.

The Coliseum is owned jointly by the city of Oakland and Alameda County, and it is run by the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Joint Powers Authority. The A’s have a lease, which expires after this season.

“We will deal with the facility to evaluate it,” Rinetti said. “We will replace all carpeting in affected areas to make sure it’s safe for players and staff of all teams and for our own employees to work down there. That is a very high priority.”

Reliever Sean Doolittle just tweeted: “After I checked out the new swimming pool in our locker room I got to see the Raiders clubhouse! Pretty cool! #CommitmentToExcellence.”

They seriously need a new stadium pronto.

 

[Windu]

Fan just tried to kill Johnson on that popup by opening a door to the stands. Surprised he missed it.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Cisco Field in San Jose sounds good right about now.

 

[Enron]

Is this what being a Mariners fan feels like?

Kind of.

 

[Windu]

[Enron]

Should be fun. Can't wait to see Wheeler.

On a tangent, I'm going to Citi Field to see the game against the Nationals on the 28th. Crossing my fingers that one of those guys pitches. Will make going to the game a hell of a lot more worth it.

Hush you.

That's not from a Harvey start!

 

[Blearth]

I'm just waiting for the All-Star Break now.

 

[Corran Horn]

At least posey is still better :/

 

[Blearth]

At least posey is still better :/

That and somehow we're still only 1.5 games back.

Thank God the NL West sucks.

 

[RBH]

 

[MiKeD]

Nats should let Desmond hit at the clean up spot or something, but definitely not 6th. That's just preposterous.

Corey Kluber. Remember that name.

What the hell is wrong with BJ Upton? Whatever he's got, Justin caught it too. Now he's hitting with the wrong end of the bat as well.

 

[BFIB]

The Cards 2 out of 3 to the Marlins.......
