Open Game Thread: Game 80 - A's at New York
I think someone put Tim Goodman's Cranky Pants in my closet last night. Man, these things itch.
Let's see: a junk-tossing rookie lefty starting against the A's? Yeah, that bodes well.
Dept. of WTF?!?: day game after a night game, no one as thenthitive as Joe Blanton pitching, so of course ... Kendall's starting.
Geren goes with the same loaf of bread, but sliced ... sideways! Yeah, I know: injuries have basically dictated that we have no one to sub in as a starter.
Swisher, despite some murmurings that he might have been too banged-up to play, is still in the lineup. You know, given how he's been hitting of late, plus the banged-up-ed-ness, plus hardly having had any days off at all this season ... oh, never mind. It doesn't matter. We're all going to ... do something. I don't care what.
Lineups:
A's
Stewart LF
Ellis 2B
Swisher RF
Cust DH
Chavez 3B
Johnson 1B
Crosby SS
Kotsay CF
Kendall C
New York
Damon DH
Jeter SS
Abreu RF
Rodriguez 3B
Posada C
Matsui LF
Cabrera CF
Cano 2B
Phillips 1B
Pitching for the A's: Chad Gaudin, who tries to stop the stepwise upward progression of his ERA; for the Yankees: Kei Igawa, who tries to ... uh, not be Kei Igawa so much.

Everyday geren
Sorry Geren but when do you change things up? Crosby over Scutaro? Put in Marco. Swisher needs a long talk on not trying to homer every AB. For once go opposite feild swish. Also Geren Igawa doesn't hold runners very well so steal and hit and run. Enough ranting on with the game

kendal paycutt
Kendal says he is willing to comeback next year with a paycut. How about a 10 million paycut. I would take him back next year but no more than 3 million and share duties with suzuki. He says he wants to play everyday. I guess ron washington is ready to bring him to texas.

Nice KICU highlight
of Geren going yard in Toronto as a Yankee catcher. He looks exactly the same as he does today.

Better late than wrong, they always say
about umpires' calls. But what if it's both?

Angel Hernandez is a punk.
Not only is he bad umpire...he holds grudges when he is called on it.

angel hernandez is a disgrace
he has always been an ego maniac, and calls a shitty game. MLB should be ashamed.

close pitch...it's amazing
how chavy can take a pitch like that, yet swing at the low outside ones.

If one of our hits is hugging the foul line but stays fair (JK's HR) that would be another sign. I need other signs tonight with the Angels before getting too excited.
