Stressful game to watch. I was watching hoping Parker didn't blow the lead. Good thing Resop was able to get those two outs. Game got me over here biting my nails.

And we are getting lucky as hell getting out of these jams. Hopefully the offense can put together a couple more runs and get Wilson back in the stretch.

Truth. I'm glad it's April.

I realized we're still in April and wondered why I'm all jittery. haha.

It's because we care.

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

I can't believe we're giving away this game. What the ****.

 

[GreenNGold89]

I gotta be in the office by 5 am tomorrow and we're still in the top of the 7th?!

This has definitely been one of the toughest games to watch recently. We are trying to hand this game to the Angels.

Young is terrible in right. Sucks about Sizemore, but at least Weeks wil finally get his fair shot; I thought he earned it in spring training. Parker looked so bad out there, it looked like one of my starts back in high school

And my stream went out, so now I'm listening to gameday audio. That $3/month for the At Bat app is a great investment.

 

[captain charisma]

Jaso with the 3 run shot! To think, I was getting all depressed and what not.

 

[wearinthefourfive]

JOHN JASO JINGLEHEIMER SCHMIDT!

 

[eagle 0n]

Jaso! Yeah *****, yah *****!

I had to turn off the TV broadcast earlier, and soon as I switch on the radio broadcast..BOOM!

 

[GreenNGold89]

I can't take this man. It can't be April.

 

[captain charisma]

Thank you sweet baby (Insert religious figure here)! MOSS GOES DEEP!

Crazy game, but this is now 6 wins in a row.

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

beautiful.

Parker come on bro

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

I'm guessing that Parker will be looked over very closely by Melvin and Beane to decide whether he stays up or not.

 

[wearinthefourfive]

Times like these I wish we still had the likes of Brad Peacock and AJ Cole...Hell, even Blackley.

Peacock and Cole were part of the Jaso trade right? Given what Jaso has done for us up to this point, I love the trade and wouldn't change a thing.

 

[wearinthefourfive]

Cole was part of the Jaso trade, Peacock is with the Astros from the Lowrie trade. I know both of them have been nothing but great for us, and I wouldn't want to take those trades back, but I miss that never-ending supply of 5th starters to bring up at any time. Basically, I want to have my cake and eat it too.

 

[albooboo]

Send down Parker and call up Straily.

I had same reaction when Jaso hit the bomb, I knew it was gone.

Parker wanted to pull his best CJ Wilson impression last night, both guys were all over the place. Pretty ugly, but relief pitching late really helped.
