Around SBN: Hugh Douglas Admits To Stealing From Jaguars

Open Thread: Game 8 - A's at Blue Jays

Chad Gaudin has two things going for him: A healthy lat and a passport. So unlike 2/5 of the A's rotation, he's actually good to go. Rich Harden, who gets scratched more often than a vinyl record (young fans should look up what a vinyl record is), has been pushed back to Saturday, and so Gaudin will make his season debut tonight against hard-throwing righty A.J. Burnett. The A's will start the nine players who are healthy and have been allowed into Canada, specifically:

Buck - RF

Ellis - 2B

Barton - 1B

M. Sweeney - DH

Cust - LF

Crosby - SS

Hannahan - 3B

Suzuki - C

R. Sweeney - CF

For the Blue Jays:

Eckstein - SS

Stairs - LF

Rios - RF

V. Wells - CF

Big Hurt - DH

Overbay - 1B

Hill - 2B

Marco...SCUTARO!!! - 3B

Zaun - C

I think this is the best lineup we have right now

It should be the basic format upon which all game to game variations are made

the A's scoring is too much for my firefox to handle, because it definitely crashed right before the run...

Wow...a REAL RBI!

Not a passed ball scoring a run, not an error, not a walk, but someone on the A's HIT THE BALL with 2 out and drove in a run.

I'm stunned.

Um...c'mon pitching!

So, bring on Bonds! Or, not... then, bring back Langerhans!! -One won lost one

What did we expect?

Gaudin clearly wasn't going to be ready to start, so if he makes it 3 innings I'll be surprised. I was afraid that this would happen. Hopefully he can settle it down and get out with only these 3 runs, because burning the bullpen and hoping Greg Smith can go 7 is not a good strategy.
