Top of the 10th. I really hope the A’s score and win this game. Score!!!
Hatteberg takes a strike… Base hit and he gets a double out it. Way to go! 😀
Chavez just hit a two run homer. What a shot! 😀 I love these guys. Left center shot. Yeah baby!
Miggie’s up.
Nothing better than a quiet Yankee Stadium crowd. Oh yes…
Tejada flies out.
Durazo’s up. Ball one… Fair ball in the left corner, double for Durazo. Groovay!
Hmm, the crowd is booing. They’re so vocal. LOL
Ron Gant is pinch hitting for Ramon. I hope he’s okay! 🙁
One ball, one strike for Gant… One ball, two strikes. Swing and miss. Two outs.
Terrence Long is up. Ball one… Ball two… Ball gets away from Posada and Durazo goes to third! 😀 They meant to intentionally walk Long, which they’ve now done. 😉
Byrnse fouls out. Rats!
On to the bottom of the 10th.

Bottom of the ninth. Yes, it’s my birthday and I’m online and watching the A’s on tv. Keith Foulke is on the mound to close out the game. Let’s see how it goes…
First up is Nick Johnson. Strike one… Ball one… Foul ball, one ball, two strikes… Hey, there’s Zito… Fair ball to the left field corner. RATS!!!
Crap, Jason Giambi is up now. Once, so very long ago it seems, I really adored this man. Now he’s a damn Yankee. It still irks me… Ball one… Strike one. One ball, one strike… This Foulke guy is so low-key… Oh, they just showed Mulder!… Ball two. Two and one… Ball three. Three and one… Home run.
I hate the Yankees. Huddy is hitting the showers. What a f****** wasted effort. Damn!!!
This is Giambi’s first homer in Yankee Stadium this year.
Bernie Williams is up. No outs… One ball, one strike… One ball, two strikes… Please, no more replays of Jason’s homer… Pop up, Ellis catches it… One out.
Why do they always do this to Hudson? This is so wrong. This always happens to him!!!
Matsui is up. Strike one… One ball, one strike… Two balls, one strike… Two balls, two strikes… Swing and a miss! Two outs.
He hit Posada. Crap! And Ramon’s hand! What the hell?! For goodness’ sakes… Ramon looks a bit pained. Crap and double crap!!!
Let’s see, who’s up now. Enrique Wilson. Swing and a miss. No balls, one strike… Foul bunt. No balls, two strikes… Nothing harder on a closer than a blown save, eh? Yeah… Stop showing Giambi… Still fouling balls… Pop up to Mark Ellis.
End of the ninth. We’re tied at 3…
