Open Thread: Game 85 - A's at White Sox

PrintOakland Athletics at Chicago White Sox, Jul 3, 2008 5:11 PM PDT
Coming off two unpleasant losses to the Angels, both games largely the result of a shaky bullpen, the best solution for a rebound would be for the A's to trot out their best pitcher this season, a one-time reliever himself, who is now sporting a sub 2.00 ERA, and is a near shoo-in to represent the A's in the All-Star game a second time, Justin Duchscherer. Opposing Duchscherererererer and the A's is the White Sox' Javier Vázquez, who enters the game with a middling 7-6 record and 4.49 ERA, but has the ability to make batters swing and miss, racking up 104 K's so far on the campaign, good enough for fifth in the league.
Looking to swing and make contact is an intriguing A's lineup that features Ellis and a returned Ryan Sweeney at the top of the order, Suzuki in the 3 spot, and an entertaining Cust, CarGon and Bankston following in the 4-5-6 positions. With Chavez on the DL, his left side of the infield partner, Bobby Crosby will also be sitting, in favor of Donnie Murphy. Will the A's lineup have enough to beat out the Sox's strong offense against the Duke? We'll see.
Game time is at 7:11 Central time. Get me a Slurpee. It's hot out.

MLB blows! (blackout rant)
Live in Iowa… White Sox territory (as if)... A’s feed is blacked out… Sox feed is on local Chicago channel… I live 5 hours away, too far to get local channel… end result: I cannot watch the game.
Have MLB EI, btw.
You can't sit on a lead and run a few plays into the line and just kill the clock. You've got to throw the ball over the goddamn plate and give the other man his chance. That's why baseball is the greatest game of them all. ~Earl Weaver
EI has problems like that.
It can be really really frustrating, actually. I’m forced to watch the Cardinal’s broadcast all the time, and I hate their broadcast.
by VORP is too nerdy on Jul 3, 2008 5:43 PM PDT up reply actions
Nope.
Sunday is on WGN and Fri & Sat are on their regional network and I can get all those, but tonight is on some other local channel. It’s not on my DirecTV package and it’s way too far away to get over-the-air.
I’m sorry, but I really don’t think it’s too much to ask to have access one way or another since I’m paying for access. If I can get the local channel, then fine, blackout. But if I cannot get the local channel, I should still have access if the other team is doing their broadcast.
