Open Letter to the Oakland A’s: This is The Tim Wakefield Show

by Red on August 26, 2011

Hey, thanks for yesterday, assholes. You had a 7-1 advantage on the goddam Yankees after three innings yet somehow managed to give up a dumbfounding twenty-one runs over the final six. After that shitshow, you’d better just lay down on the field the minute the first pitch is thrown. In fact, if David Ortiz wants to drive a tractor over your worthless balls, you just let the man do what he wants. This is The Tim Wakefield Show, muthas, and the guy’s been waiting what seems like fifteen months to get his 200th win. Now he’s finally back in Fenway. In front of the hometown crowd. On the heels of a magnificent series in Texas. And I don’t want to see anyone try to crap on this parade.

So that thing you did yesterday? Where you fell apart at the seams? Feel free to do that again. I strongly encourage it.

At this rate, DMac is going to end up with a torn rotator cuff.

Lets get some while they use their third string pitching. It's never to late to put up 10 in an inning.

Ahh. OK. I think I'm stuck on Jed Clampett and Jethro from that old show. Thanks for the hookers and booze. I'm gonna hit the store to prepare for the murderous hurricane. Beer.

So Gameday has the following messages:

Now, I'm not a cynical person, but this is not the time for a body double.

Very good Papi. Jed better not waste this opportunity. I'll take a double to the gap and that will plate two (Wheels Ortiz).

I love Pedie and his 8-12 pitch AB's. That is what every one in the lineup should be aspiring to.

@Nikki in Denver THe fact that after a 22-9 beatdown, the MFY's are having their lunch handed to them by the last place O's makes this a little easier to watch.
