Yep. I thought we were done at 7-3.

Man, after tonight Prozac sales will be waaaay up in KC.

Starting with a walk would be about the worst possible thing short of a home run.

AND of course a storm moves in and is getting ready to knock out my satellite dish. ****

Ditto. Been a crazy game.

Ibanez doesn't play 3rd.

Very ****ing true

Yikes

shit

Not much of an improvement I guess, but a small improvement.

Uh oh

uh oh

Cmon Fin you got one more inning in ya

Well, the magic may have run out for the kid.

****

Lead-off walks always score. SOB.

that sucks...but we've had chance after chance after chance....Salvy ****ed us out of 2 of them by himself

Assuming they're going to bunt here.

You gotta pull him after a leadoff walk.

IT GONE

Exactly how many innings is a rookie reliever supposed to pitch without giving up a run? The amount of fail strategically in this game is shocking. The fact we are still in it is amazing

Nate Bukaty ‏@nate_bukaty 5m5 minutes ago
Nobody up in the KC pen.

We have nobody else to play 3rd base then!

Not good a lead off walk!

Yeah because questioning a call is blaming the officials

We have no more infielders left to play 3rd if we don't score.

Doing it all despite Yost.

They're about to beat us with what we failed to execute the last two innings.

Not always, and I thought the A's don't bunt

Nope

The f. Why was Nix so far back?

That was a terrible bunt. Bad break you didn't gank it.

And somewhere, Billy Beane just took a bat to a water cooler for giving up an out.

What are you saving him for?

STOP BUNTING

Here we go!!

Good job Finnegan. Balls man.

Finnegan was great. Just ****ing great. Walk sucks, but damn if he didn't pitch out of his mind tonight. Doesn't deserve a loss, so we need to close this out.

he pitched really well.... unfortunately I don't see oakland messing this up like we did :(

Ned didn't have them playing bunt?

Yeah, as much as I'm hanging on every pitch, I'd be over a loss as soon as I could finally fall asleep..... they overcame Yost's idiocy, which is saying a lot.

Walk next guy to set up DP?

Kid did as much as anybody to win this game.

Who's pitching?

God damnt it. Finnegan should not have pitched to Reddick. He doesn't have power, a rested reliever should have started that inning. Now a final **** you from Ned az watch an A's hitter get the run home

Well hopefully their strategy backfires like it has for us

And now we're into our middle relievers....this could end 13-7.

Please don't say Crow.

Going to whom?

Crow isn't on the roster for this game

He's not on the playoff roster. So we're okay there.

Unfortunately it usually goes the other way.

Every team in the NL would.

They also have their scrubs up.

Frasor is in. God help us all.

This

This is the one time where it is excusable.

pessimist much?

Callaspo in for the revenge

There's one pitch.

This

****, Frasor, don't feel good about this

Oh my God. You just know Royals throw away douche Alberto Callaspo is gonna get it

Crow will lose this game eventually


/because we are The Royals

We need to send in a pinch pitcher now to counter their pinch hitter

Dude. It's the playoffs. You don't know the call?

Royals have only Guthrie & Duffy left in pen, Kratz & Ibanez on bench

Shit Frasor.

Welp.

Amazing

Lol

Game.

Welp, there it is

Wow

****

Shit. Welp.

Where's Duffy?

Un ****ing believable

**** my soul with a ****ing Mack truck.

****!

Oh good. Wild pitch at the worst time.

Ouch.
