Open Thread: Spring Training Game 14 - A's  vs. Diamondbacks

Baseball_tiny by baseballgirl on Comment 231 comments

The A's shortened Spring rolls merrily along, as A's leftie Dana Eveland (acquired by Oakland in the Dan Haren trade) takes the mound, facing his former team. Doug Davis will make the start for the D-backs.

It will be interesting for me (who normally has limited interest in the National League) this year; there are a few Diamondbacks players who I still keep an eye on.

Lineups

A's

Ellis, 2b
Barton, 1B
Sweeney, M DH
Cust, LF
Brown, E RF
Crosby, SS
Gonzalez, C CF
Suzuki, C
Murphy, 3B

D-Backs

Young, CF
Hudson, DH
Byrnes, LF
Jackson, 1B
Reynolds, 3B
Upton, RF
Drew, SS
Hammock, C
Bonifacio, 2B

I Want Eveland and Blanton to Pitch back To Back:

My guess

There's a couple games on mlb.tv today. They're probably trying to push that so they hope people go "oh, my team isn't on...I'll just watch this one."

They're talking about the Crosby that actually matters, the one whose absence will hurt his team.

PRobably

Tomorrow he's going to have leg replacement surgery. His new leg will be made out of an old baseball bat (probably Bobby Crosby's, since he doesn't really need to have it anyway).

by thejd44 on Mar 12, 2008 1:50 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

No, Crosby still needs the bat.

They'll still use it for the replacement. Crosby's bat has never been used (except for flailing).

I was browsing quickly through what I missed

and for a second thought somebody was talking about me. Then I realized it was just booze. How disappointing.

zactly

Drinking decent whiskey cold -- especially using ice -- is no less criminal than dropping a couple ice cubes in a good red wine.

Last image from me today. Swear.

by HigherPie on Mar 12, 2008 3:02 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

posting images

1) you need to know the URL to an image. they usually end with a .jpg or .gif or .png. find that and copy it.

2) and then you can just click the image button (looks like a picture of a tree)

3) that will ask you for the URL of your image. paste in the URL and click OK

4) it will insert the HTML image tag into the comment for you

I'd listen, except ...

1. I have a meeting at 4:00
2. Ralph (jerk) and Tolbert (Angels fan) make me want to roll my truck over whenever I hear them for more than, say, five seconds.
