It's like I've been saying all spring
This is an unstoppable offensive juggernaut that should easily carry the A's to 100 wins!
There is an A in Whimsy.

With this pitching too
How about 120 wins????
I wish.

I hate to nitpick because I love all the rallies
and 2 out rbi's but the A's have like zero power in the lineup. Maybe when the weather starts warming up more balls will get out. It also wouldn't hurt (power wise) to have a healthy Chavez in there.

A "suspended game"
occurs when the road team has either tied the game or gone ahead in the top half of the inning in which the rain delay occurs. The old rule, alluded to above, was that the score reverted to the last previous completed inning, the road team's run(s) in the top of the inning were nullified and the home team was declared the winner. That rule ripped off a number of teams over the years (I specifically remember one instance where the A's had runs wiped out and lost a game in Chicago).
In this situation, there has not been a tie or a lead change in the inning in which the rain delay occurred. Therefore, if the game cannot be resumed tonight, the game is complete and the A's win by a score of 9-6. All action that happened before the delay is reflected in the official statistics; there is no longer any wiping out of action and reversion to a previous inning.
by Soaker on Apr 11, 2008 7:08 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
ah
the old "lead change" rule... good thing
a) Garko did not get the GS and
b) Casilla did not throw that last pitch.
Proof that the gawds hate Cleveland (or racist mascots, or both).

Actually another recent rule change
is that an official game can no longer end in a tie. If Casilla had delivered one more pitch, and it had gone out of the park to make the score 9-9, the game would be suspended at this point and resumed tomorrow. Just a few years ago, it would have been declared a "tie game" (assuming it could not be resumed tonight). All individual statistics would count, but the A's and Indians would have had to add another game to their schedule.

is start a Class Action suit against MLB & MLBtv over the blackouts. You're paying for a 162 games season and you aren't getting it. The ONLY way MLB will ever stop is if they're forced to. There's a large population to pick up a suit like this, you just need a lawyer willing to put in the time and effort to track them down a throw it in MLB's face.

I just hope they help Extra Innings...
...but I'm not expecting any improvement. The simple rule of thumb for EI should be: "If you can't get the game any other way, don't black it out."

Lets just say:
I'm at work/school/somewhere without cable 24/7.
No more blackouts please!

Moved it to Milwaukee. That was crazy.

You know, I had forgotten they were playing this weekend.
With the Masters, ESPN hasn't had the chance to pimp that series.

He's wonderful
Full of energy, and babbling up a storm (with a few words mixed in). He loves to play outside, so he's very glad spring's here. Thanks for asking!
Do you still have your "complaints" e-mail address? He has a new web site with recent photos...
