Let's hit Lester. We're due.

Welp, gonna have to ban bitches from the game thread. I'll win over Lewdog yet!

Depends on how Lester pitches. It's going to be tough to scratch 4 or 5 runs off of him

Time to make Lester our bitch.

Who sits a ginger kid right behind home plate?

Got to hit Lester tonight. Let's go Royals!

****ing hell

Rather give them up in the 1st than the 9th

Going to have to mirror Rocky IV with this game. Knocked the **** down, but now we have to cut this juiced up bitch to prove we can stay in the fight.

Needs to happen now.

Yep.

Forget the last 162. This is the ONLY one that counts. Shields knows what his playoff record is. He'll calm down. Let's get up there and get them back!

ROFLROFL

If they get a run or two here in the bottom of the 1st, I say they're right back in this thing.

Got the A's right where they want 'em.

Dinny

Luckily you have balls of steel! LEt's ****ing go!

**** you saying it's game over.

We've been here before.

We waited 29 years for half an inning.

I am all of the sudden not as nervous as I was.

Does it matter?

Are you ****ing kidding me?

Wow, suddenly the low strike gets called

Keep talking dirty like that and you'll have me back by the time we have the lead again.

Lester immediately gets the low strike.

Guys we were going to have to score to win anyways. Let's go.

Yeah, we've been looking up at teams for 29 years!

I'm sure Shields will be able to calm down and pitch well the rest of the way. Unfortunately, you can't generate runs with good pitching.

Let's hope they strike back quickly.

Pray to the BABIP fairy tonight

That's a start

HAHA ESKY STARTS IT OFF

There you go. Relax

That will work!

One on!

Yes. Good start

ESKY!!

Haha!

BEEF

ROFL

Yep Lester the Royal molester won't give up a run against us.

Oh well there is always next year. LMAO

One on!

YES!!!!!

Lowrie looked like the slowest SS ever on that play.

tick tick tick tick tick

Dinny

No bunt. Please no bunt.

Someone translate quickly.

There we go. Just gotta get the ball in play!

Maybe the deficit means Ned won't bunt

Ballin'

DONT ****ING BUNT

you're down by 2..WTF are you showing bunt for??

****. Mother****er.

God damnit. Why?

Bunting? Are you ****ing kidding me?

No bunt now

.363 avg this season vs lefties... let's take the bat out of his hands.

The bunting bullshit has got to stop

At least with Shields pitching, you can be confident he has the mental makeup to recover from an early dinger.

Hopefully we will scratch out a couple of small ball runs and catch up.

balk!

If there is ever a time that Ned Yost should not be Ned Yost, now is the time.

MAKE THAT ****ER THROW TO FIRST

Didn't he take one off the balls in RF in Oakland?

In it to win it!

You are a ****ing dick

BOOOO!

he was off the base

uh challenge?

No

2 OUT RALLY TIME

Sigh

Typical

No he wasn't when he first got the ball

Send Aoki. Press the issue.

plz Hos tie the game now thx

No more bunting and putting us behind in the count already

Come on Hos!

The A's have a hipster at shortstop.

Thank you.

Alright!

Pick him up

Hell yeah!!!

Put pressure on him

Catcher's arm doesn't look that strong. RUN ON THESE ****ERS

Single and we're going to win this thing. One run here is huge.
