Open Game Thread: Game 18 - A's vs. Royals

The A's look to snap a three-game losing streak tonight as they host the Royals at 7:05 p.m. in the series opener.

It won't be an enviable matchup for a team trying to snap a losing streak.  The A's will throw Chad Gaudin, who has reminded us of his second half of '07 in his first two starts of '08 (7.20 ERA and 1.70 WHIP).

The Royals will counter with Brian Bannister, arguably the game's most dominant pitcher in the first two weeks of the season (3-0, 0.86 ERA, 10 hits in 21 innings pitched).

Bannister's a very interesting pitcher - you can read about him in my favorite interview I've ever read of a player here and here and here, a 3-part series at MLBtraderumors. That interview, and the revelation that he intends to test some sabermetric hypotheses of his own this season with his pitching, granted him cult status online and led to other interviews.  It turns out the offseason attention was a harbinger of things to come. 

Other tidbits: 

*Mike Sweeney plays his first game against his former team today after 13 years with the Royals.

*Royals slugger Billy Butler turns 22 years old today.

*The A's have made an error in 10 straight games.

It's a good night

to put on the long johns and join the other 8200 fans who will be out there tonight.

But yeah, 4 of the next 6 not on local television. What is this, 1983?

6 of the next 6 if you don't get CSN+

The technical term for this is “Whotta focking joke.”

Possibly also working. More likely knitting. Maybe GameThreading. Maybe cleaning my oven. Probably cat-juggling.

The funniest thing about that interview

is that his dad was always seen as a classic “stuff” pitcher who never lived up to his abilities consistently—he was the 1st pick in the draft, with a great fastball and slider, and everyone expected him to be the second coming of Steve Carlton, but he had a very up-and-down career.

Another Greasemonkey Script!!

I posted this in the DLD, but I’m so proud of it, I’m posting it here too.

I’ve created a script that removes a bunch of the excess junk from MLB Gameday pages. Check out and install the script (image included).

Less useless stuff at the top and bottom of the page = less (or no!) scrolling and more baseball. ;-)

Now to create an “A’s Actually Hitting HRs” script…

then He really needs to get out more. Speaking of getting out more, when do the A’s hit?

Gathright sort of squared around to bunt (not as bad as Hannahan, but not good)

Gaudin threw a high FB and, even though it was maybe going to be about 6 inches from Gathright’s hands, he tried to bunt it and popped it up.

The visual is a pond out in the wilds somewhere

the frogs are all saying “rainier, rainier, rainier.”

The thing is, you can actually say “rainier” and make it sound like a frog. Bud, weis, and er sound nothing like a frog noise, but they ripped off the ad anyway. (And added the animated critters.)

It would be as if Budweiser made a new ad where a motorcycle goes, “Buuuuuuuud – weeeeiiiiiiis – eerrrrrrr”.
