Around SBN: Jeremy Lin's Game-Winner Was Incredible, Worth Remembering

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

We head to the top of the 5th, where Dana Eveland is pitching yet another gem after 4, but he has zero run support so far.

New thread mojo for the A's bats, who have been silenced with men on base.

And yes, for those of you out there, Let's Go Warriors!

I can't stand that radio commercial for the newspaper group.

I never want to hear that lady say "Bay Area" again.

Ellis

Watching via MLB.tv. I was starting to get to thinking the Jay's announcers were OK, but then they had to go and say that Ellis "won't hurt you with his glove" speaking in the context of how he's not great at any one thing. Well, it was pleasant while it lasted.

it says his weight is only 170, and all I've heard from you ANers about him is how he's "portly". Is Yahoo wrong or is he not that big?

Crosby Caught a little bleeder right in front of him that was about to hit the turf. Had he let it drop he could have tagged Scutaro, touched second, and possibly gotten Stewart at first for the triple play.

Three things I want to see counted

Team error
An error on a centerfielder who turns a bloop hit into a hr
Mental errors.

Now, whether runs counts against the ERA of pitcher for these is arguable (especially on the mental error), but they should be kept track of.

Maybe he starts a triple play by letting that ball drop, or maybe the ball takes a funny bounce on that crap that should be grass and we end up with the bases loaded and no outs.

Then take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind, Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves, The haunted, frightened trees, out to the windy beach, Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow. Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free, Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands, With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves, Let me forget about today until tomorrow.

it just goes to show you that preseason predictions can look bad within one week of play. Btu remember, the season is a marathon, not a sprint, There's a lot of baseball left ot be player, and you have to believe in the track record of established players. See you next week!
