Open Thread: Game 86 - A's at White Sox
by Nico on Jul 4, 2008 3:49 PM PDT
Email
PrintYou have to pay $126,000,000 to find a bigger loser than Joe Blanton. Blanton, who keeps setting Oakland A's records for "fastest to x losses!" tries to earn his 5th win instead of his 12th loss. He is opposed by crafty left-hander Mark Buehrle, whose six June starts produced a 4-0 record, 1.60 ERA, and six quality starts. Blanton and Buehrle are among the fastest workers in the American League, so White Sox fans should not count on the Fireworks Show starting on time.
Keith Foulke is on the DL, Jerry Blevins is up to give the A's a second lefty in the bullpen, and Wes Bankston has a batting average as he starts tonight's game. The lineups:
Ellis - 2B
R. Sweeney - RF
Suzuki - C
E. Brown - LF
Cust - DH
Bankston - 1B
Gonzalez - CF
Murphy - SS
Hannahan - 3B
And now here's a real lineup!
Cabrera - SS
Pierzynski - C
Quentin - LF
Dye - RF
Thome - DH
Crede - 3B
Swisher - 1B
Uribe - 2B
Wise - CF

supposedly blue with red and white trim…for the 4th of July
Relax. Alright, don't try to strike everybody out. Strike outs are boring, besides that, they're facist. Throw some ground balls - it's more democratic.

and like $3 dollars from the sell of the hats goes to helping the troops
but to keep making money, mlb just uped the hat cost from 31 to 34 dollars. SO when they say a portion of money made form the sell of the hats you got to figure its the difference in the asking price.

Yeah.
Most (if not all) of the MLB teams are wearing them today. CWS isn’t because of the camo things.

What’s more, WTF is up with the whole military-fetishization thing on the Fourth? This isn’t a celebration of a military landmark, but a political one. Honestly, it’d make more sense for the players to wear three-piece suits (or breeches and powdered wigs) to celebrate and honor lawyers.

Why is a guy with no major league experience
coaching first base? A big part of the job is to judge a team’s outfielder’s abilities and determining whether to send the runner. If you haven’t seen them enough, you’re not going to be able to effectively make these judgements. In the last week this is like the 4th or 5th time he’s made the wrong decision.

I'm stuck on House
... Currently at season 2. Recommend skipping the first half of second season, aka “Whiny House”

“home run” is “jonron”... (Phonetically “hone-run”) so each time you guys type “Hoerun” I hear “jonron.” It’s disconcerting.

Hot Fuzz
I just watched it today, very funny and thrilling, though a bit gory as well.
Procrastinators unite....tomorrow
Resovoir Dogs ... how the hell do you spell that?
I needed a team so I wouldn’t turn into one of the eighty million pink hat-wearing Bud Light-drinking mulleted idiots at Fenway.
I love that movie.
Any movie with that guy in it… Run, Fatboy, Run…. Shaun of the Dead

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
Wow. Bunting in the 5th. Thank you.

How the hell does someone in Chicago
wind up with a Hannahan t-shirt when they don’t have Harden jerseys at the Coliseum.
The A's colors are green and gold.
her son's name is Bort Hannahan
He's a very personable, sweet, nice chimp. He's not going to be aggressive unless he's provoked. @('.')@
Sweeney's just been punked.
and now he returns the favor!

I'd trade that call for one on Byrnesy in 2003, but ok...

AJ missed the tag too. So I guess we’re even.

My guess...
Joe: “Did you touch home?”

LOL twice
Hannahan missing plate but the Ozzie pitching to our best hitter with RISP who you know wants to burn his old team.
Here's Dotel's chance to repay
the A’s for stealing their money.

You know
having to listen to the opposing announcers, I’ve kind of grown used to hearing the biases and have been pleasantly (and sometimes not so pleasantly-the Yankees announcers are painfully kind, unbiased and extremely complementary to the other team when they deserve it-grr), but the “Hawk” and whomever the fawk his broadcast partner is, are two of the most biased, lame, vitriolic jackasses I’ve heard. I’m watching the game muted. I don’t even do that in Anaheim.

Someone should count
the number of times people bitch about the CWS announcers… Just for something else to count.

I've been pleasantly
surprised, for anyone wading through that non sequitur.
