heyward taking the dong thing a bit too literally

[Ding Dong Johnson]

haha, I saw that and wondered if I was seeing things that weren't actually there

[Sammy Sofa]

I love how that keeps happening at this stupid stadium. JUST SHOW US THE DONGS ALREADY.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

if A's fans existed you would think it would sting a touch to watch Semien ground out to Russell

[Sammy Sofa]

Jake Smolinski sounds like something the Rock almost went with before he settled on "jabroni."

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Georgie is broken again

[UMFan83]

This is more of the Soler I remember

[Sammy Sofa]

Why does the A's pitcher have a last name that sounds like some mook Patriots fan's nickname?

[philosophizer75]

Well the cubs game is on csn in eastern Pennsylvania. Just stating that for whoever was looking for it on tv before

[Ding Dong Johnson]

here's the box score from the last time Overton faced Cubs:

[UMFan83]

Come on Lester let's not make this a game

[Ding Dong Johnson]

and I was considering going to bed...

[UMFan83]

and I was considering going to bed...

 

I know. I was going to wait for one more Cubs AB to see if we could score some more. I guess if they did collapse and blow this one I wouldn't have wanted to watch it anyways

[UMFan83]

Geez come on. These aren't cheap hits either, he's getting hit pretty hard right now

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

God mode bullpen is about to be activated.

[bcl412]

That was the chillest ejection call ive ever seen from an ump.

[17 Seconds]

nice recovery

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

That will do Lester.

It's amazing how Atlanta is getting a new stadium but a team that actually needs one has to play in this dump.
