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

PrintPowered by a 6 run third inning that featured 6 consecutive hits, the A's have broken out the bats tonight in a BIG way and lead the Yankees 8-1 through 5 1/2 innings. Duke has settled in nicely after getting out of a tough jam early with strikeouts of Abreu and A Rod. Go A's!

The only thing more sad than the picture of Corey Hart is that I PAID to see him in concert along with Rick Springfield. There were tons of hot women at that show.

For having been born in 1984, I really know way too much 80’s music.

Damn this thread.
I’ve totally stopped paying attention to the game in favor of looking up ‘80s rock songs on Youtube.

You're right.
Actually, I still have a very soft spot in my heart for Zito. Still, whatever the explanation is, he’s been downright horrible lately. It’s sad.

I just moved back to the Bay from Boston. I used to watch games on MLB.com, now I am getting blacked out. Any way to get around this? I seem to recall a post about using a mirror site or something? This must be something AN deals with frequently, please just point me in the right direction.

Awesome performance
Its great that Ellis, Chavez and Crosby are Hitting so well. They are the heart and soul of the team. No matter who is playing DH and OF these infielders will be in the line-up.
Its great to see Ellis’ average rise up from about a week ago.
Still can’t wait for Frank and the Sweeney’s to get back.
WE ARE IN THE PLAYOFF RACE. Only 2.5 GB behind TB for Wild Card. LETS GO A’s!!

He’s always been good, but most guys add a little under a run going from reliever to starter, not take one off.

Duchscherer has been one of the best surprises of season
He and the fact that Harden has more than 6 starts have been great surprises.
They and the bull-pen have been the number 1 reason we are in this race.
If some of the hitters keep it up and we get the injured back – WATCH OUT AL
We're gonna kick Al's ass
I’d be scared if I was an Al

geren must of been sweating, tough call putting in calero over street

Absolutely...
against the Yankees, you never know.
More than just ANtics: http://www.louisgray.com/live/
Great Post.
I wonder if the Yanks get a few more hits here if he will be brought in???
Not as bad as the twit who posted the Gibson image the other night, but...

Who would you send down when Frank and Swooney come back?
Buck and Calero get my vote
What has Buck done to justify staying over Brown
Brown has better numbers and is right handed.
Buck is much more popular with the fans, and is younger.
HOWEVER, the manager must be fair. In part because of team chemistry and morale. Brown has been more productive than Buck thus I think Brown should stay for a few more weeks.
HE should stay over Buck
Buck is better defensivly
Buck is younger, and he’s also a (former) top prospect who is part of the future of the franchise.
Brown is a stopgap of who can’t hit at all, and plays horrible defense as well, not to mention having absolutely no clue on the base paths.
Yet in terms of usefulness to the A's, Buck outdoes Brown in pretty much all ways.
So that kind of trumps your argument.

Totally agree. Sweeney can take over for Buck
I still say Petitt is in line as well. I think Davis can play some middle infield in a pinch.
We do not need to see Donnie Murphy back
Petit is way better than him. The only problem is Petit need plahying time to develop.
He should be in tomorrow spelling Crosby and Bowen in replacing Suzuki but then you have to get that past Geren to work
I think Petit would be better getting more playing time in minors
I know I am in the minority but I think we can go with 5 infielders (not counting F. Thomas and Davis whom both played infield in past)
You want to go to bed with Kiko?
Don't blame me, I voted for Ice Cream

Good for Ziggy to have Calero suck
Good for Calero to do his sucking in an 8-1 game.
I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal
All Calero's fault
Why not let Duchscherer get the complete game???
I don't understand Brown got them out in the 8th
I think they should have left him in
It wasn't his arm...
His leg buckled underneath him. Looked bad.

IN NO CIRCUMSTANCE SHOULD STREET BE CONSIDERED
If the other relievers can’t hold a 7 run lead we don’t deserve to win
Street does not need to be involved with his bad groin
Should have left Andrew Brown in there
EXACTLY!!
What was a rule passed that says a reliever can’t pitch more than 1 inning??
OH WELL
WE WIN!!!!!
Heh at Barton mispronouncing "Wang"
Or at least in the pitcher’s case he did.

What happened with Calero?
I turned off the TV mid 8th, thinking it’ll be an easy 8-1 win with the good bullpen we have. Logged on AN and Gameday, saw Calero loaded the bases with two walks. Walking people with a 7-run lead?!
