Open Game Thread: Spring Game 2 - A's vs. Brewers

Happy Leap Day, AN!
As a kid I thought a February 29th birthday was the ultimate short-term pain, long-term gain.
Sure, you'd only get a birthday cake and presents every four years. But one day you would be the most feared "6-year-old" in the history of T-Ball. And at age "10" - with back hair and a grey goatee, in the twilight of your career - you could put the ole' Little League team on your back one last time, terrifying prepubescent hitters on the mound and carrying the squad all the way to Williamsport.
What can we learn from this story?
- I was wierd, baseball-obsessed, and overly analytical as a little kid, too.
- You should tell your children early on that Leap babies age just like normal people do, so that your kids don't harbor the same irrational fantasies I did.
- Orlando "El Duque" Hernandez, who is secretly 152 years old, somehow found a way to do this, and I hate him for it.
After a 7-1 loss in yesterday's opener, The A's conclude the month of February and their two-game series with the Brewers this afternoon at 12:05. Dallas Braden gets the start for the A's, while righthander Dave Bush and lefty Manny Parra (one of the Brewers' best prospects) are each scheduled to throw two innings for the Brew Crew. Eric Gagne is scheduled to appear as well.
Looking ahead to the rest of the weekend: Saturday vs. Giants @ 12:05 p.m., Sunday vs. Rockies at 12:05 p.m.

Kotsay still grounding out to 2nd...
So far he hasn't pulled a Kendall.

But Chavy did pull a Kotsay...
out 4-5 days with lower back stiffness.
Getting an epidural? So he's experiencing preemptive sympathy labor pains?

he was put through a workout yesterday
and were to be judged on his progress based on how he felt after the workout.
Evidently, not good.

Do the announcers know that the Braves
have a new GM? They act like Schuerholz is still the GM! They also just said that Bobby Cox was the GM in charge of the draft just now.

Can you have a grand slam
and a triple play on the same play?
Runner from third scores, runner from second never touches home plate and is passed on the basepaths by the batter and the runner from first?
Would that work, or would there only be two outs?

New AN 3.0 Bug (or Feature)
I had actually composed a comment about Suzuki's single, but as I hit Preview, the text of my first comment in this thread reappeared in the box. I had already decided to post the Suzuki comment so I clicked on Post before I realized that the text in the box had changed. Then when I tried to post a new comment, the text of other comments I made in this thread kept reappearing -- I had to close the window and come back to AN in order to post this. Very strange.

You can sign in
On the MLB.com homepage (top right in tiny letters).
Once you do that, when the audio box pops up, you shouldn't have to log in again.

I thought the name of the evening drive time show was Erasure & Mr.T. I thought it was some kind of sick 80's tribute. I still don't know the real name of the show, Eraser & Mystery?

Sometimes life will strike you out on a curve ball and the only choice you have is to flip off the umpire and walk to first base anyway.

Noone is even going to be looking at the A's with all of the giveaways over the winter. I just have a feeling on the 40th year in Oakland, this is the year the A's win it all with the help of a whole year healthy Rich Harden. Go A's! BTW purchase the MLB package. Totally worth it listening to the Audio!

Is it me...
OR are there more games being aired this year then last year?
That being said, when the hell are the A's going to get off their asses and move into the 21st century. It is rediculus that the only way to get 100% of the games is through a format that entertained our Grandparents when they were kids. Television has been around for over 60 years, it is time for the team that would be from Silicon Valley to board the train!
