Gaudin intimidates!

radio says Castillo might be peeking
at the signs from Suzuki, or Suzuki’s set up outside.
So Gaudin buzzed him.
If you’re peeking, duck.

I think more pitchers should do that more
dont you? No way in a million years would some of these hitters be hitting they way they have the last 10 yrs if guys Like Nolan Ryan, Bob Gibson amongst others were still pitching.

Geren's official reason for using Street yesterday:
He was going to go to Brown if the A’s got it up to a five-run lead. Which I think is sufficiently lame to warrant criticism. You can’t trust Brown or Ziggy with a four-run lead against a weak offense? C’mon.
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
Geren's bullpen usage leaves a lot to be desired.
But at least it’s not Macha bringing in Rincon every damn day to give up runs.

hi folks ...
missed the game, caught the summary (woot!) ... and now CSN is televizing the KNBR “post game wrap” (or whatever it’s called). anybody else watching this? it’s sad … yet strangely compelling … basicall it’s four dudes killing their buzzes by whining about their team.
I heart Papa and BIP saying good things about the A's. Of course they are bellied
up to the bar while reporting. Jaymee Sire was also interviewing Chavy at one point so I thought it was “fair and balanced” when I watched.
