Fair arguments to be made

on both sides regarding Smith in the 9th. I let him pitch it. But that’s just me. I like complete games.

by bear88 on Jun 30, 2008 9:28 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

If they want to spare his arm with a low pitch-count outing,

that’s fine – let Ziggy close it out. Or let Smith finish.

Coors Light is the only beer company that relies on gimmicks on their cans to sell the contents inside. My brother actually drinks Coors Light all the time. Then again, he’s a big Red Sox fan too so we know he has no taste.

A’s bullpen has 7th best ERA in MLB.

A’s bullpen has the 5th best ERA (3.28) in the American League. Angels are 11th with 4.12 ERA. Those stats probably aren’t updated for tonight’s game.
