should hire walker, texas ranger to deliver the bad news from now on.

let's go A's!!

and buck!

My phone automatically recalls the last text message sent, so when I opened it up just now to send my sister a text message about Bradley, it said "Duke to DL", all I had to do was change the name! It was funny, until I remembered that it wasn't. :(

Bradley's 51 AB, 6RBI only accounts for 3% of A's offense so far. By the time June comes, we'll have a few more able bodies who wants to play, let him sit. If he can't figure out how to get himself on the field and keep the job, eventually it'll be only his own problem.

Can Jack Cust play the OF?  Are there some stats on this?  Is he as good, say, as Manny Ramirez?

Cuz we got to get DJ off 1B and get Swish there-so that makes DJ the DH and Cust gots to play OF?

?????????

but it seems like he could at least try to fight through it.  Maybe it really is killing him, but he is becoming a big albatross.

THE A'S ARE ALL GOING TO GET INJURED

I recall the Yankees played Berra in the OF-and he drove in more than he gave up--

So why doesn't Geren give Cust any time in the OF?

than the A's once again sitting on their hands waiting around to make a decision after this theory has failed so many times.  Get a healthy body up here in place of an injured one rather than worrying about the additional salary that is incurred.  My company uses temporary labor when we are busy even though their production levels are much lower than our experienced staff.  As Frank Sinatra says, "that's life!"

The A's are easily the "best" at screwing up in how they handle the DL.  A 5-year old could make better decisions by asking "are you hurt?"  Player replies "yes I am hurt."  5-year old queries "would you like to take a time out for 15 days unless you are sure that you'll feel better in 5 days."  Player answers "it may take more time to feel better so I better take the 15 days."  5-year old makes executive decision to place the player on the DL.  Kids can even do the darndest things.

and am considering not even watching.

Which, of course, means they're going to win in a laugher, because baseball likes to eff with your head, man!

Come on guys!  We all know Beane puts guys on the DL to keep them fresh from July 1 - Sept 30 - How else to you explain the best 2nd Half of baseball from 2000 - 2006.

SO FREAKIN' BRILLIANT!

He works through the pain, can never die, and is always the best at what he does. Problem is, he works for one horrible-no-good-very-bad day and then takes a lot of time off...

... rushes to put little crutches under Milton's shoulders before the Tuesday deadline.  

Is that Kotsay will likely be back before Bradley will. So assuming Kotsay's back is better and that he can still hit, we should be okay without Milton. This is why we picked up Stewart (who's been awesome, by the way) ... we needed outfield depth and we got it.
