Open Thread: Game 65 - A's vs. Yankees

New York Yankees at Oakland Athletics, Jun 11, 2008 7:05 PM PDT


Well, after last night's temper-tantrum-inducing game; the one where I almost came through my TV to throttle Suzuki after his rally-ending DP, we can only hope for a better one tonight. Last night was one of those games where I would have been happy to lose 9-8 in extra innings, rather than watch the A's sorry excuse for offense try unsucessfully for eight innings to tie the game at two.

Ahem.

Justin Duchscherer, fresh off a pretty good start his last time out, will take the mound for the A's as they try to even up the series with the Yankees, and remain 5 games back of the Angels in the West. Yes, they won today; they nearly always do.

The A's will be facing RHP Darrell Rasner (3-3, 2.58 ERA), looking to score more than one run. That would be nice.

Street is questionable for tonight, with his now-disclosed groin injury, but there is good news on the horizon for Casilla, Sweeney, R, and Frank Thomas. Casilla could be back next week, Sweeney may be back any day (once the A's decide how to clear room for him), and Thomas hopes to rejoin the team after interleague play.




LET'S GO OAK-LAND!

I hope it gets bad for the Angels later on.

I hate the A's organizational hitting philosophy

“take every pitch and look for the walk”

It just leads to them taking strikes down the middle, then striking out on either balls out of the zone when down in the count, or taking a good pitch and striking out looking.

They should be taking Manny Ramirez’s approach to hitting, as much as I hate the guy. Basically, if its a good pitch to hit, hit it, regardless of count. If its a bad pitch, take it.

Could Boston win any more shit? I hate them too?

Anyone else think it was funny

That the Sportscenter people showed in game highlights, emphasized that Crosby has the most doubles in the league, said “all he does is hit doubles,” and then showed CarGon hitting his 8th double of 11 hits without mentioning it?

Also, yes, it sucks to watch the game on Gameday instead of TV. I love that ESPN is carrying 0 A’s games this year.

Anyway

There were no other games to choose from. They should have picked us instead of Cubs/Braves tonight, for example. Leave that one to TBS.

After that solo shot I was hoping we could go to extras

and somehow claim a victory. I love scoring bunches of runs.

Was Black Snake Moan a comedy or a drama?

Duke's our All-Star

I don’t care that it’s only 60IP. He’s the best pitcher on the team.

Well...

If IP doesn’t count, how about Harden?

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

If Harden goes to the ASG, they’d better not use him. Imagine if that was the time he hurt himself. Frantically knocks on wood

Duke went 2 years ago

Great story to go as a reliever and then a starter. I say Duke goes. Leads the AL in ERA!

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

It is?

I don’t see it.
