Around SBN: Ryder Hesjedal Wins Giro d'Italia

Open Thread: Game 115 - A's at Texas

I don’t mind the tribute Hank Aaron has taped in anticipation, and I’m ok with the presence of 300-400 additional reporters who have flocked to Arlington this evening, though I’m rather annoyed that Bud Selig is not in attendance. That’s right, folks: Tonight, Lenny DiNardo goes for career win #7. It could get crazy.

Kevin Millwood opposes DiNardo in the rubber game of this 3-game series, and…wow, the pitchers might want to go for strikeouts because the two teams are NOT putting their best defensive team out on the field. Cust and Botts in LF? Wilkerson and Melhuse at the corners? All righty then!

Said lineups:

Buck – RF
Swisher – CF
Cust – LF
Piazza – DH
Ellis – 2B
Johnson – 1B
Scutaro – 3B
Murphy – SS
Bowen – C

Kinsler – 2B
Wilkerson – 1B
Young – SS
Sosa – DH
Byrd – CF
Cruz – RF
Botts – LF
Saltalamacchialamasccherer – C
Melhuse – 3B

If he was claimed by the Cubs, the A's have 3

options

  1. Pull Shannon off Waivers
  1. Negotiate a trade
  1. Let Shannon be claimed

With Shannon, only making 1Mil, the A's won't just let him go for free.

by theblackpearl on Aug 8, 2007 7:02 PM PDT up reply actions  

Actually, Pie wouldn't have to clear waivers

He'd just have to make it far enough for Oakland to claim him, then we could trade.

That means he'd have to get past Tampa Bay, Texas, Kansas City, White Sox, and Baltimore.

Yeah, still not gonna happen.

4000 sq. ft. is UNREAL to me.

My house is 1600 sqft and it seems small.

I realize that if I moved to California than I would be downsizing quite a bit.  Oh well... I probably wouldn't have a lawn and trees to take care of so that would be nice.

My last girlfriend had a 6000 sqft house but she

was a total b**** and I don't really miss her much.

Come on over to KC.
You can stay at a hotel right across the street and drink as many beers as you like!

right across the street. :)

Nope but the hotel has a bar that is open late.

Hell our tailgate wrapped up around 1:00 a.m. if I remember correctly.  It's like security doesn't give a shit.  In Oakland they kill the lights while Celebration is still playing.
