Open Game Thread - Game 87: A's @ White Sox

PrintOakland Athletics at Chicago White Sox, Jul 5, 2008 4:05 PM PDT
The A's send Greg "Still Needs a Nickname" Smith out against the White Sox for a shot at a win of the 4-game weekend series today. For Chicago, Gavin Floyd takes the mound against yet another threadbare, ragtag A's lineup. The starting left side of the infield has already been DL'ed in the last couple days, and now it looks as if Patrol Craft's hamstring injury is keeping him out of the starting lineup.
The A's managed a comprehensive and balanced attack last night, though, so we can only hope that tonight we get further addition-by-subtraction, with Rajai Davis starting in center in place of Gonzalez.
It's a sign of the A's annual DL woes that they're starting a handful of right-handed batters against Floyd -- and a sign of the depth that Beane assembled this year that they're actually able to field a full team.
Let's hope Cust, Bankston, and Murphy stay hot -- and that Smith harnesses his control.

I was joking.
For me, it was his tirade about swinging on 3-0. I can’t rememebr the exact situation, but the pitcher had walked the previous batter and got behind the guy at bat 3-0, then finally throws a strike. Joe starts asking “Why isn’t he swinging 3-0?”
The guy walks on the next pitch.

Hey all, i just signed up
So riddle me this, the White Sox lead the AL Central, the A’s are 2nd in the West, and yet WGN still doesn’t show their game to me.
PS – I live in Michigan, thus my complaint. I get the priviledge of watching the games on MLB TV sometimes or just on gamecast :(
Not just athletes, Athletics.
isn't WGN Cubs only?
It always seems like they show just the cubbies….
There's no crying in baseball!
No, for some odd reason
Last year they showed a ton of White Sox games, thus I assumed they’d have at least a couple this year. Or maybe my schedule just sync’d up with the Sox more
Not just athletes, Athletics.
It used to be that way

I’m still learning the optimism game. But it’s just kind of lame, in my view, to be making victory or death predictions when only 1/2 a season has been played. Maybe I’m MORE optimistic… and every year the A’s field a team, it’s our year.

I don't like "small ball" at all
1st and 2nd with no outs is about the only time bunting makes sense. Esp. with a guy with good bat control at the plate, and good hitter coming up next. Didn’t work out for the Sox, but it was the right percentage move.

White Sox have 7 GS, not Thome

Yes! Way to get out of it!

Glad it worked out, but I think
you pitch to Dye on your terms rather than put Smith in a position where a walk to Thome scores a run and where there’s nowhere to put him if you fall behind.

At least Guillen let Dye hit. I'm still pissed about '03

Oh, for crying out loud
I’m still angry about that too.

Got 2nd anyway ... but still.

I believe Sweeny got second
because Dye caught the ball and then left the field of play with it.

Yup, but he should've been on 2nd anyway.

Which, I believe, is technically an error according to the rulebook.
Saw it happen once last year in a Padres game where I believe Bard caught a foul ball and slid over a line on the steps of the dugout that marked going out of play. Anyone on base was sent up 90 feet and an error was charged.

I thought it would advance the Sweeney at 2B.

She IS that kind of gf. I actually get tired of fixing up my house/yard
but she keeps me going past the point of being exhausted.

Jack Cust should always always always use two hands.

He can use one hand, as long as it's Rajai Davis'
