Around SBN: Hugh Douglas Admits To Stealing From Jaguars

Open Game Thread - Game 87: A's @ White Sox (cont.)

A's trail 1-0 going to the 5th on Swisher's solo HR. Smith and Floyd have both struggled with their control, driving their pitch counts up. Expect to see the bullpens in play sooner rather than later.

with the c-c-combo meal HR/SB… when was the last time Nick Swisher did that?

Fair enough but

the A’s only started stealing bases this year.

Because the opposing weak catchers

have matched up their weak abilities with pitchers who give runners huge jumps.

And, the A’s have people who can steal for a change.

At least Lackey's being human tonight

Jays 5-2 in the 5th.

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
