Open Thread: Game 9 - A's at Blue Jays (Cont.)
by louismg on Apr 9, 2008 5:46 PM PDT
Email
PrintAfter a messy first inning that saw the A's give up 3 runs, Greg Smith has settled down in his major league debut, holding the Blue Jays without a run over the last 3 innings, and not allowing a hit since the first frame. Meanwhile, the A's posted 2 runs in the 4th to cut the margin to a single run, but left us all aghast (again) by managing not to score in the 5th inning, despite having the bases loaded and nobody out.
We head to the bottom of the 5th with Smith throwing a 1 hitter, but trailing 3-2.

Cust is worthless.
I have learned to not expect anything from the A's when they have a man on third with less than 2 outs. At some point, a squeeze has to be called. This shit is old and predictable. It's either a K or an infield pop out every time. Or a DP. Figure it out!!!!
Not really
He isn't a four hitter though, we might be able to find a better DH but I can't think of one

Apparently, according to KKorach, Kendall resisted, used his own ideas, area by his locker littered with contact lenses, eyedrops, etc. Finally got Lasik and says his vision...well, "results may vary"

our starters combined have as many home runs as mark reynolds...it's a bit unsettling.
yeah, or chris shelton in the first two weeks of 2005
obviously shelton is better than the entire a's roster.
of course the tigers offense has been so deadly (4 hr, one less than the a's), they could send him down to AAA and then trade him...

Sweeney is defendable
He's actually hitting right now, unlike most of our team (and Denorfia), and the ball he hit should have been a hit.

Baseball is not necessarily an obsessive-compulsive disorder, like washing your hands 100 times a day, but it's beginning to seem that way. We're reaching the point where you can be a truly dedicated, state-of-the-art fan or you can have a life. Take your pick. ~Thomas Boswell, Washington Post, 13 April 1990

A's television director's phone number
I left a phone message at 510-563-2269 expressing my disgust with Comcast. I couldn't find a phone number on the CSN Bay Area website.
Shut up Joe Morgan!
Honestly, though, you can't really blame them.
Then again, I do follow hockey.
Playoff hockey game vs April baseball game which not (or should not have become) in doubt...
If I were programming, I'd have switched too.
"The hard... is what makes it great."
In a perfect world, NBC 11 would take the emergency Giants feed
and appropriately take the place of "The Biggest Loser."
Green Hulk Fists
They had options
They could have sent it to CSN+ and displaced the beginning of the Giant's game. They could have added it to Extra Innings as a freebe. They could have at least had the game during the Shark's breaks. They could have kept us up to date on the game during the Shark's game. Flat out nothing is complete BS.
In search of a new signature. Say something funny and you may see your comment here!
I honestly wasn't sure if the A's were going to be there at all this year
but it feels good. Especially doing it with both Duke and Harden out.

Yanks made a smart move
Thought it was going to go to a rain delay at some point, so they started Bruney. Then went to their bullpen, and THEN brought Kennedy in to pitch the 6th. Too bad that rain delay never happened, and they look stupid because of it.

Why do we have to log in every single time we come back to Gameday Audio or MLB.tv? There are these things called cookies, see....many people on the Internets use them to great effect.

I'm sorry to mention it, but has the Cust experiment expired. I am not too hot on his production right now.
Cust-turd
He's hot... then he's cold. Just like a turd.

I hate to say it, but should Beane call up Baroid for a little production in the middle of our lineup?
I'll take Custurd over Bonds
every day. But I believe signing Bonds condemns us all to hell... So feel free to ignore me on this one. I don't hate Bonds as a player, but I think he's related to evil.
