Open Game Thread: Game 61 - A's vs. Angels
by notsellingjeans on Jun 6, 2008 5:52 PM PDT
Email
PrintThe 33-27 A's take on the first place Angels tonight in the series opener of a three-game set at the Coliseum tonight at 7:05.
Perhaps this is a sign of youth, but the A's have been extremely streaky in the last month. In May they had two four-game winning streaks...and two four game losing streaks. And now, they're in the midst of another four game winning streak to start off the month of June.
Tonight Cupcakes takes on Slingblade (Joe Blanton vs. John Lackey, for the uninitiated), as the A's go for their fifth straight win.
Bob Geren has downplayed the importance of this series in the media, but that's what managers always do. It'll be nice to see how the A's stack up against the AL's best and if they can gain some ground against the division leader.

Lackey
Slingblade? Is he a scuffer? I’ve always called him Gomer Pyle.
Root for the Giants? Not even if they're playing al-Qaeda!

Just posted the lineups -
No Emil! {does happy dance} Just a random thought: When I see Cust in LF and Hannahan DHing, I wonder whether the defense would be better if they were switched – even though Hannahan is “not an OFer”.
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
At least Hannahan is in the lineup...
And still in the leadoff spot, which is great.
Cust really isn't an OFer.

But he plays one on TV!

good point
I’ve wondered if Hannahan will be able to play some LF/RF for us down the road, too. If we DFA Emil Brown at some point, and Chavvy gets back to full health, it might happen.

Random question
Have 2 teams ever started lineups with batting orders that matched exactly, position for position (e.g., LF, SS, 1B, 3B, CF, 2B, etc.)? Where could you look to answer this question?

Wouldn't it have been funny if that had happened

Interesting question
If it were just by chance, it should happen about once every 150 years. But it’s better than chance, so it seems reasonably likely that it happens occasionally.
The databases that are out there have the necessary data, but you’d need to be able to write a specific query to it, and I don’t think anything online will let you do that.

Not sure about that

A bad night to travel
God I wish I could make it to the game tonight. The weather’s perfect, Suzuki’s bobblehead is being handed out, and that lineup looks solid 1-9. Plus, spending a night ripping Lackey is always enjoyable.
In other words, I picked the wrong night to fly to Seattle. Gah. Enjoy yourselves, AN, I’ll see you in about a week. (Although you very well might see me on the news, talking down my Mariner-loving friends from the top of the Space Needle. Sweet mother are they miserable up there this season.)

You sat silent, scared, stunned. This was Dodger Stadium, in 1976, and Steve Yeager had collapsed on the field, blood spurting from his neck, the victim of a freak and life-threatening accident.Yeager had been minding his own business in the on-deck circle. Bill Russell, the Dodgers’ batter, took a swing. His bat shattered, and a fragment flew wildly into the air, slamming into Yeager’s neck and piercing his esophagus. Surgeons removed nine pieces of wood from his neck.
Cheer up, people!
This game ain’t over yet. Lackey is not Superman. We still have a good team. We can do it!
Cheer up, people!
You’re one day older, one day closer to death, and thus one day closer to the day when you no longer have to watch the A’s lose…
meh...
bad fielding only cost Blanton 16 extra pitches and 1 run. Minimal damage for sucking by the infield.

Let's be Positive
This game was over after the 3rd pitch.
Or was it over when they named the starters?
Well, I would like us to win more than ever
I detest the Angels
But I am also being realistic.
Nothing I have seen in the first 5 innings makes me feel any diferent. Hopefully we string together a bunch of HBP, Walks and errors so we can get some runs
Yeah Blanton is pitching
total mis-match.
I was hoping he would pitch lights out and while he has done very well after the first batter, there is a reason he as 7 losses.
Exhibit A: His last start.
Exhibit B: poor run support
Blanton is not the problem tonight, but it sounds like it’s too much for some of you to admit that.
