Open Thread: Game 2 - A's vs. Red Sox
by baseballgirl on Mar 26, 2008 2:59 AM PDT
Email
PrintAre we really doing this again?
After last night's heart-wrenching loss, the A's take the field again, looking to salvage a game against the Red Sox in Japan. Returning to the U.S. with a split would be more than probably most of us hoped for, and would open our season on the right note. At the very least, it would somewhat let Street and Brown off the hook for yesterday's game, and would give us something to look forward to until the A's regular season resumes play.
Boston sents out this crew:
Dustin Pedroia, 2B
Kevin Youkilis, 1B
David Ortiz, DH
Manny Ramirez, LF
Mike Lowell, 3B
Brandon Moss, RF
Jason Varitek, C
Coco Crisp, CF
Julio Lugo, SS
Taking the mound for the Red Sox is Jon Lester:
Your 2008 Oakland Athletics will send the following lineup to counter:
Travis Buck, RF
Mark Ellis, 2B
Daric Barton, 1B
Mike Sweeney, DH
Brown, Emil, LF
Bobby Crosby, SS
Jack Hannahan, 3B
Kurt Suzuki, C
Chris Denorfia, CF
And taking the mound for the A's, who will now be known as James Richard Harden (in hopes of a better year):
LET'S GO OAKLAND!!!!

No Cust?
So are Cust and Sweeney goingn to platoon all year with Brown playing everyday? That wouldn't make much sense. I don't like the first two lineups of the year.

Why are we all excited by Harden?
It's not like we're surprised he's good. It's just that he's about due for his arm to fall off again. I can't watch him pitch without being all kinds of nervous.

but yes, the game is blacked out on MLB.TV for us locals.

I was there at Opening Day last year
and it was Buck who broke up Felix Hernandez' no-hitter in the 5th with a double off the CF wall (Buck's first ML hit). He'll be all right.

Wow, Coco with the start?
I guess he's the veteran and Ellsbury only had the hot final month of 2007

Any word
On if Ellsbury might have hurt himself a little bit on that great catch?

Thorne says he iced the back, but that isn't why he's not playing.

Ellsbury was hot during the season too...
they need to showcase Coco a bit after spring injury for possible trade

I have issues with AN3
when there are new comments, I have to click outside the new comment pop up in the bottom right to actually start tabbing through comment with the Z function. super annoying.

eh?
Write that up more clearly and AN would love to hear from you. These guys are fanatics, this is a code base for a very big future political platform. They DO listen to readers.
Z function
Is new to me, is all. I think I know what you mean, but the Ruby guys will precisely want to know what you try to do.
Know it like Ramirez is an asshole, they will listen carefully and look hard if you just invest a little effort in the mail.
Pine available, carne!
Another K for Harden!

hahaha so apparently
if theres a bias on ESPNs side...don't blame ESPN...its "the world feed"
You can't fire me...I don't work in this van!
But his take on it was
"Sorry we're not talking about him when the camera goes there."
The A's colors are green and gold.
yes
not only am i a a's fan for life but harden is on my fantasy team!

Yeah, I saw World Feed at a A's/Sox game last year
totally decked out in Boston gear.

Boy that place was a dump.
I saw a game there in 1988. Even then, it was so clear that Montreal was not going to keep that team.

Let's hope the A's can get through 2008
with fewer than 15 centerfielders starting.

How many was it again?
I know it was a record number of CFs used by Oakland in '08.

This announcer thinks Canseco is Giambi
So, bring on Bonds! Or, not... then, bring back Langerhans!! -One won lost one
To be fair...
They both abused steroids.
They both played for the A's.
And they both had brothers who played for the A's and sucked.

Ahhhh
Come on Rich. Too many pitches. Will walking Youk with Ortiz on deck come back to haunt?

Let's get Ortiz right here
and make Manny lead off next inning.
HUGE swing and a miss by Ortiz.

Hannahan
saw that Chavy play on the 40th Ann. commercial so he jogged out there to try to duplicate it.
The A's colors are green and gold.
Fabulous tumbling catch by Hannahan
Ends the inning and the threat

So picking up 2 Royals.....
has already bitten the A's in the rear. Hopefully Sweeney will be what we need, but we should have known better than to expect 2 good players from the worst franchise in baseball.
