Open Thread: Game 86 - A's at White Sox

You 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

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.

The Padres usually do their various versions pretty well.

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.

yes

at least from his perspective. From the TV angle it was a clear hit, from his, with the defensive behind his back, it wasn’t clear. He made the right first move.

Hannahan has gotten to the point where pitchers without plus-fastballs can throw a fastball right by him. I don’t know what the heck the difference is between last year and this, but it’s striking – out, that is.

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.

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
