Dark Helmet: Before you die there is something you should know about us, Lone Star.
Lone Starr: What?
Dark Helmet: I am your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate.
Lone Starr: What's that make us?
Dark Helmet: Absolutely nothing! Which is what you are about to become.

or we used 'em up
in games #1 and #2 in this series.
"It's too bad there are no Hallmark cards saying, 'Sorry your loved one was killed by a foul ball.'" -- The Iowa Baseball Confederacy, W.P. Kinsella
vintage Crosby right there
Swing at a pitch on the outside corner, massive hack at an inside pitch, swing at a slider off the plate.
And what did we do once we discovered a rift in the fourth dimension? We launched a monkey into it. @('.')@
Cliff Lee = Cy Lee Young
At least from these two Sunday games against the A's.

To give the guy some credit...
...he looks very good out there.
It's not just the A's bats taking the day off.
Putting the "N" in "NRAF" from Leipzig, Germany!

Exactly - he's dealing
Which explains why in 7 of the 8 innings we haven't even had a baserunner! Gak.
I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal
and great pitch calling
they definitely adjusted and are playing on the A's weaknesses today.

In contrast, Suzuki calling for the HBP
and all those fastballs a foot out of the strike zone - well, rookie mistakes.

weren't people saying yesterday what a great job Zook was doing on calling pitches? hmmmm... how quickly we turn.
"It's too bad there are no Hallmark cards saying, 'Sorry your loved one was killed by a foul ball.'" -- The Iowa Baseball Confederacy, W.P. Kinsella
he's an ambi-turner.
And all he had to do was make me turn left
Looks Like Lee with go a complete game
Maybe we can get to him in the 9th
The ammount of 0-2 counts today
Impossible to hit in those counts all day

oh, I'm not throwing it in either

Lets hope Bedard is on his game
and Saunders gets hammered
White Sox have 2 Grand Slams today
against Detroit.
Leyland needs to go off on those losers
I will not miss Lee or Garko

Does Brown ever hit the cutoff man by accident?
It's not that difficult: Always throw it right to that guy who's standing there waving his arms.

low standards much?

Part of it, unfortunately, is that Cust
hasn't muffed a lot of balls because he hasn't gotten close enough to them.
I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal
worse last year
definitely worse. Credit to Cust for improving. One web gem won't raise him to major league defensive ball player.
"It's too bad there are no Hallmark cards saying, 'Sorry your loved one was killed by a foul ball.'" -- The Iowa Baseball Confederacy, W.P. Kinsella
I'm guessing his range metrics would be
very low - Staturday Gurus, what's the truth?

OH MY F!
"It's too bad there are no Hallmark cards saying, 'Sorry your loved one was killed by a foul ball.'" -- The Iowa Baseball Confederacy, W.P. Kinsella
I don't think the A's can afford to
keep a Rule 5 guy (who doesn't look like he has great stuff at all) - maybe best to return him and call up a guy like Braden who can contribute more in meaningful games.
I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal
I agree, just stupid to keep a guy like Marshall all year

I've been disappointed with the Rule 5 scouting -
Marshall, Goleski, Hernandez. Bleah, bleah, and bleah.

I dont know the stats
but I wonder the ammount returned, kept , successfull ones?
by asfaninpismobeach on Apr 13, 2008 1:09 PM PDT up reply actions
It's definitely a crapshoot -
but it's also how guys like Johan Santana and Josh Hamilton can get "stolen". But yes, low odds in general.

do it again, with fewer pitches.

I wish I hated Grady.

but like Grady. Mad talent.

These are the easiest losses for me
Other starter great, ours not, lucky to have been this close.

I think he's going back to chicago
when the plane lands but I imagine he will stay there.
Agreed - a luxury we can't afford
and not a luxury because I think he sucks. Not enough fastball command, hangs too many breaking pitches.

Personally, I find "game over" to be the single
stupidest comment to make on a game thread. Fans know when a game has suddenly become less winable - if you feel the game is over then stop watching, or enjoy what you can and hope for a miracle.

Lee threw a 2 hitter, not going to win almost any game with 2 hits and no walks.

Well, we ran into a buzzsaw in that one
Nothing you can do against a guy that's pitching as well as Lee is right now. We were lucky to get 1 run in.
