Loved seeing Danny introduced. We are so lucky to have him on OUR team. I'm confessing my age, but I was all boohooey about the Say Hey kid. He's one of my earliest memories of baseball and to have him throw from CF (albeit a short throw) was soooo cool. I don't think I've ever seen Bonds smile that much in an entire season.

The game is underway now and the AL just hit into a DP. Looks like the A's are represented by more than just Dan Haren. :-)

K-Rod = losing pitcher?

Please?

Leyland ruins Putz's confidence thereby

giving Detroit a better chance at the WC. Brilliant!

Now I can't lose--

either the AL wins or K-Rod blows it. Either way, it's coo'.

I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal

Yeah. Now I'm divided.

This is awesome.

by danmerqury on Jul 10, 2007 8:53 PM PDT up reply actions

It was planned. Leyland wanted to make

sure he got enough pitchers a chance to make an appearance.

by kapers on Jul 10, 2007 8:52 PM PDT reply actions

Well, as much fun as that would be

to let K-Rud give up the winning run I mean -- we'd be sorry in October when we realized we weren't going to have home-field advantage when we play the Cubs.

Remember how many baseball fans root for their teams their whole lives without having the slightest hope of the success that we've enjoyed.

I'll take the chance.

Can someone explain to me why

AN is looking different all of a sudden? Does it have something to do with 400 comments?

by kapers on Jul 10, 2007 8:53 PM PDT reply actions

It really doesn't handle "stress" very well.

For a normal game

new-thread mojo would be needed.

If K-Rod ruins our chance at home field

for the WS...

I'm waiting...

for someone to hit it back to the mound one of these days, because he's always facing backwards after he pitches.

waiting.

What are those little Southwest

Anyway, dor-K looks like that when he's pitching from the stretch.

Gimme Pujols!

You have one of the best hitters on the planet and you don't use him in the bottom of the ninth with the bases loaded??? Tactical nuclear strike!
