Open Thread: Game 28 - A's at Angels

Following last night's game the season is exactly 1/6 gone, which is how we know that:
* The A's will finish the season 102-60.
* Joe Blanton will be the tough-luck loser of 24 of those games.
* Emil Brown will drive in 150 runs.
Meanwhile, tonight it's...
GERG!!! The battle of young lefties features Greg Smith against Joe Saunders, and for the third time this season the starting lineup has not a left-handed hitter to be found, as Bob Geren apparently took this morning's post very seriously and decided that not only must Denorfia or Davis start at all times...they should both start:
Suzuki - C
Ellis - 2B
G. Sweeney - 1B
B. Hurt - DH
E. Brown - RF
Crosby - SS
Murphy - 3B
Denorfia - LF
Davis - CF
Figgins - 2B
Matthews Jr. - LF
Guerrero - RF
Hunter - CF
Aybar - SS
Quinlan - 1B
Anderson - DH
Mathis - C
Wood - 3B

Something clever
track record
From the link: “very aware of the A’s track record of collapsing mid-way through the season”
Uh, how many years does it take to make a track record? How many times did we collapse midway through the season? Once? Twice?
For several years it was just the opposite. Lousy in April and/or May, about 500 at the All-Star Break, and then shazam in July and August. To me, that is the true A’s track record, last year notwithstanding.

That's a pretty funny blog...
The previous post was “Giants post Zito on Craigslist.”
I like this lineup
I like the idea of having Jack available against a reliever late in the game…from whom he is more likely to see a fb…and we don’t have to suffer his defense…
You don't win friends with salad.
in the abstract, I agree
Given that we need to see if G/MSweeney has anything left in his tank, either for roster value or trade value, I’m not so opposed to platooning Barton in the short term.
Of course, with Barton looking like his batting stroke and power are coming into form …
And what did we do once we discovered a rift in the fourth dimension? We launched a monkey into it. @('.')@
It's possible his hand injury is still a minor issue

The kings remain missing, so they're playing with Eric Chavez Bobbleheads. "Chavvy does have six Gold Gloves," Brown explained. "That's good enough to be king."

He went on first movement, my guess is hit and run,
but Saunders has a quality move….....Hes no G-Smith though!!
If hit-and-run why would you go on first move?

simply to get a good jump.........
and because Sweeney always makes contact, and because Mark is not that fast, and because…...

Wow!
you really want to argue about this or you want to watch some baseball…it was a guess….lay off smart guy
On a hit-and-run you assume the batter will make contact, so you wait until you're absolutely sure the pitcher is going to the plate
If you get thrown out at 2nd, that’s on the hitter, not you.

Guerrero still looks like a goofball when he runs
There, I said it…
He has a powerful arm
but it’s not accurate. And, as far as getting the ball in his glove in the first place…he’s not very good at all.
I've said as much before ...
His physical gifts are so preposterous, if he had been coached while young and had better discipline/control over his mechanics, he could have been one of the 3 or 4 greatest players ever.

Hi Pam! I was really out of it in last night's game and missed all the good stuff.
My former next door neighbors lived in the area of Suffolk, VA that got slammed by a tornado yesteray. I only found out this afternoon that their house was literally untouched. But the houses on the next block are completely gone. It was so eerie to see that. I lived there for 7 years and we rarely even got hurricane damage.
F! O U L!
