Game threads are loaded with sarcasm I realize

But doesn’t anyone else thing Braden is throwing pretty well. He’s getting squeezed a bit by the ump, still he’s making a lot of good pitchers.

Oh, and we just homered, so I’m guessing things will get more positive.

by RLangford on Jul 22, 2008 5:19 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

He's throwing many, many balls and getting lucky.

But Barry Zito did that his whole career in Oakland, so maybe he can ride it out for a while.

It's a thing we do here

to make fun of ESPN’s mispronunciations during the opening series vs. the Red Sox in Japan.

Hannahan, to whom they referred as Hanrahan, hit a HR during that series, which caused MikeA to comment that you can’t spell Hanrahan without an HR.

The moment’s gone now. Thanks.
