Open Thread: Game 10 - A's vs. Toronto

Baseball_tiny by baseballgirl on Comment 327 comments

Oakland Athletics at Toronto Blue Jays, Apr 10, 2008 4:07 PM PDT


Well, despite the other shoe dropping rather predictably, as both Duchscherer and Harden fail to make it much past the first week of the season before they both land on the DL (note to A's PR: We may have bought your 'day-to-day' line a few years ago, but no one believes nor trusts your injury reports anymore), the A’s have rebounded from their shaky start, have now taken 4 of the last 5 games, and will try again for a series sweep this afternoon.

We’re all holding our breath right now, as we head into the second start for most of our pitchers. The A’s 2008 starting pitching debuts have been phenomenal so far (with the exception of a still-rehabbing Gaudin), but how are they going to look during start 2; start 10, start 15? And can the offense play with the rest of the league, after its mixed reviews so far? Has Bobby Crosby turned a corner? Will he make me write a huge apology?

We're about to find out. Dana Eveland makes his second start tonight, and if he's even half as good as he was during his last outing, it will be a success. He will be facing Shaun Marcum.

Lineups

Toronto:

Eckstein, SS
Stewart, LF
Rios, RF

Oh crap.

The Sharks are on again tonight, at 7.

And once again, the A's and Sharks will both be on CSN.

In the other diary it said

A's game is switching to + at 7. Warriors aren't on CSN tonight.

The A's colors are green and gold.

Can you get +

if you don't have a cable box? FSN+ used to be channel 30 or something, but I think CSN+ is up in the 100s, where I can't get to it.

The whole game is on Plus

...and the first three hours also on Regular. HD is being wasted on the ice-skating team.

If you can't get plus, better hope the game doesn't go long. Too bad Country Joe isn't pitching, his games are guaranteed to end in 2:30 max.

I know. I was joking.

However, I kinda like Sweeney 9th so there's a chance Buck and Ellis get some ABs with a guy on base.

Honestly who here did not think Harden would go to the DL?

I am very much done with Harden now there is no way that he can be depended upon to stay healthy for even 3 starts in a row PATHETIC.

I felt this year would be different. That's probably why I'm so pissed about it. In the past I just accepted that it would happen, but didn't do that this year. Silly me.

Same here

I still think we'll get another 10 starts from him this year, which is about what I thought at the start of the year, this does seem a little ridiculous given Rich's injury history but whatever...I guess I'm extremely optimistic (aka an idiot)

Comcast comes through

Kuiper just gave the closest thing to an apology we've heard. I think they were blindsided as much as we were -- the "toss to San Jose" last night made it sound like they were expecting to return to the A's game momentarily.

CSN must've gotten quite an earful. Good for them for changing things. Congrats to everyone who took the time to complain.

Is it just me? Every time I see "CSN" I think of Crosby, Stills and Nash.

Thoughts on Mike Sweeney

It sounds like I'm overreacting to one flyout, but...

I'm a little bit concerned that his power will prove to be Piazza-esque. Older, slow-bat syndrome.

When I was in high school

My buddy built a half pipe in his back yard right next to his dad's zuccini plants. One time I fell and shot my board off the ramp and almost hit the plant. I guess his dad was watching because he yelled WATCH OUT FOR MY ZUCCS!!!!! from somewhere inside the house.

That was the day the ZUCC air was invented. Any time somebody lost their board it was a zucc air.

There's a radio CSN commercial with the sound of an electric saw going in the background. Then the (slightly stoned sounding, I think) voice comes on and says:
