Awful article in La Verdad about Carlos Gonzalez

La verdad is one of the local newspaper in my city, it was the one with the article that was posted here about the Marabino patrolcraft.

Well the thing is that the author said, that the A's might trade Gonzalez for either pitching, because they need to catch up with the Angels, or for Holliday.

Doesn't this guy know that the A's have the best starting ERA in the major leagues. Also that Holliday is just an average hitter outside of Coors, and the Coliseum is a pitcher's park in a league that has better pitching?


Awful sportswriting is a worldwide thing.

As the joke went, for the uninitiated here...

I detect an English Major
After throwing his 100th and final pitch for a ball, walking the bases loaded with a one out in the sixth inning and his A’s nursing a one-run lead Monday night, Dana Eveland walked off the mound to polite, tepid applause from the home crowd.

"Polite, tepid applause" sounds like about the right reaction to his performance last night

Not terrible, not boo-worthy, but distinctly mediocre.

I like the missing words, myself.

And our rookie, apparently named, ‘So’.

Taguchi?

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

Its not online

I went to the webpage before writing the diary, because i wanted to translate the article.

i don’t remember who the pitcher was, so i wanted to confirm it.
