Engage Operation EYB

Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on October 5, 2016

I loved last night’s game. Even the strikeouts. As the game wore on it became a game to watch within the game. Good thing I wasn’t playing a drinking game. All those k’s would have sent me to the ER. And who doesn’t enjoy a walk off? There are critics of the wild card format but I’m not one of them. An instant Game 7 to kick off the post season? That is fantastic. And if the WC teams or the fans grouse about only getting one game here’s an idea: win your damn division.

My A’s fan buddy, The Boney One, texted me at 4:32am today looking for my prediction on the game tonight. I just texted back “excitement” and left it at that. It’s the bare minimum of what we all get today and into tonight.

Even if they lose, I’m pretty content just getting to this game. How did the worst team in baseball make the post season? Think about that. And it’s not even arguable, with stats or your own eyeballs, that we weren’t the worst team in all of mlb in the second half of the season.

But here we are. I’m down with a crazy 3 week run. I don’t expect it but I also didn’t expect the 2014 flag and that’s flying like a boss right now.

So whatever, no expectations. But I’m confident because of who’s taking the hill. Excitement is definitely in the air. On the east side of the Dumbarton Bridge there are salt ponds. Savy locals know when it’s time to roll up the window. I hope NY fans know what’s up but there’s only so much they can do to withstand the EYB that’s wafting towards Citi Field right now. It’s coming and it’s even and it’s bullshit and so far (engage knowing dude head nod) no one has been able to stop it……

Unreal such frustration!

snarkk said, on October 5, 2016 at 7:49 pm

This is the kind of game where a lesser light does something special…
PaulinAsia Banh Bao said, on October 5, 2016 at 7:51 pm

Sure wish I could pour a double. Fucking tense. Breakfast time in Vietnam. I just fucking bit through my napkin…..

Lurker John said, on October 5, 2016 at 7:52 pm

BooYah! Easy as pie.
willedav said, on October 5, 2016 at 7:53 pm

snagged. grab your glove ass dribble.
chipower9 said, on October 5, 2016 at 7:53 pm

Bum gets cheated on the no swing, then spears it to end it. Come on boys!

Just Win…
gianthead said, on October 5, 2016 at 7:53 pm

My heart cant handle this stress….
unca_chuck said, on October 5, 2016 at 7:53 pm

There’s some EYB right there.
PaulinAsia Banh Bao said, on October 5, 2016 at 7:54 pm

Crawford was the man in Pittsburgh 2 years ago. Encore performance in the 9th?
chipower9 said, on October 5, 2016 at 7:54 pm

I can only imagine how Loo is doing…holy shit!
Bozo said, on October 5, 2016 at 7:54 pm

Shut em up and suck em up, Giants.
snarkk said, on October 5, 2016 at 7:54 pm

Bum just needs to do the scoring himself. Whatever happens, the dude is a friggin all time Stud…
alleykat69 said, on October 5, 2016 at 7:55 pm

Fuck how much swing to you get away with anymore? Totally swung at that, fucking 1st ump needs lasik surgery !!
chipower9 said, on October 5, 2016 at 7:56 pm

Interesting that they are going Familia here…
Bozo said, on October 5, 2016 at 7:56 pm

Craw, be the straw that stirs the drink.
Bozo said, on October 5, 2016 at 7:57 pm

Yes!
chipower9 said, on October 5, 2016 at 7:57 pm

gianthead said, on October 5, 2016 at 7:57 pm

RALLY STIX RALLY!!!
wilcojoe said, on October 5, 2016 at 7:57 pm

Craw!
Bozo said, on October 5, 2016 at 7:58 pm

Lay it down Angel.
chipower9 said, on October 5, 2016 at 7:58 pm

If Pagan can get Craw to 3rd, I would squeeze Craw home…
alleykat69 said, on October 5, 2016 at 7:58 pm

Yeah baby!! Crawdaddy delivers!
Let’s make it so now goddamit!!
PaulinAsia Banh Bao said, on October 5, 2016 at 7:58 pm

Here we come indeed…..
chipower9 said, on October 5, 2016 at 7:59 pm

Fuck that shit…just get a hit and put a number on the scoreboard…
Lurker John said, on October 5, 2016 at 7:59 pm

Winter has been squeezing the bejeebers out of the Met’s pitchers the past couple of innings. Rivera isn’t helping by lunging at a lot of the pitchers.
chipower9 said, on October 5, 2016 at 7:59 pm

Straight number, crooked number…ANY fucking number other than a zero…
Lurker John said, on October 5, 2016 at 8:00 pm

The black hole is on deck.
gianthead said, on October 5, 2016 at 8:00 pm

Why the f bunting on 3-1 pitch???
Lurker John said, on October 5, 2016 at 8:01 pm

Wasted AB.
Bozo said, on October 5, 2016 at 8:01 pm

Don’t Panic Mr. Panik. Bring him home…
alleykat69 said, on October 5, 2016 at 8:01 pm

Got score now otherwise this game could go 15-16 innings and we might have to use Casilla.. Fuck I just gagged on a ice cube…
PaulinAsia Banh Bao said, on October 5, 2016 at 8:01 pm

Specs, Specs, we want Specs……
willedav said, on October 5, 2016 at 8:02 pm

sunny beach. all he had to do was hit ball to right side.
chipower9 said, on October 5, 2016 at 8:05 pm

Yes, Paul. Parker up to potentially PH…make it Specs!
wilcojoe said, on October 5, 2016 at 8:06 pm

Way to battle it out Joe!
chipower9 said, on October 5, 2016 at 8:06 pm

LMAO at myself…first play-in game and I am stressed like a MOFO! Come on boys!
alleykat69 said, on October 5, 2016 at 8:07 pm

Nice AB from Panik
