Print10-2 Twins going to the 6th. Despite hitting only 88-91 MPH on his fastball all night and giving up 10 runs, the A's let Gallagher keep pitching.

He needs to concentrate on his soccer club
wait a minute…………………………
He is already
I hate unproductive outs and the A's are producing them at record production
I still think trading Harden was the right thing to do.

With his injury history, I'm not convinced they could've got much more

We may never know, since the A's seem determined
not to learn from the Meyer fiasco. “Just keep running him out there, Bob!”

Me too.
I just wish we would’ve gotten someone good in return.

Is it a sign of the Apocalypse that, with Duchscherer likely heading to the DL...
Dallas Braden might be the team’s best starting pitcher right now? I mean, you’ve got to be eff-ing kidding me!
I'm never gonna do it without the fez on!
True (and even more depressing).
At least Braden, arguably, has “upside” to fall back on…

10 strikeouts by Slowey
Lol. Thats Sloweys career best. Just got to laugh.

Screw Harden, I miss Gaudin!!!
They're called RUNS for a reason.
agreed
I absolutely love gelato — usually I get a fruity one and a chocolaty one. My latest combination was pineapple and Nutella… perfect.

Sometimes I feel like buying myself a whole cake cause their red velvet cakes are to die for.
forgive my ignorance...
what’s in red velvet cake?

Wait,
there are people that don’t do that? Huh.

Haha, I haven't had Teddy Grahams for years.
Those things are pretty good.

My friend used to eat frosting out of a can to console herself every time she "did something" with a guy that she didn't want to do
The day we went to the grocery store to pick up TWO cans of icing for her… yeah, that was a memorable day
Two guys or two things?

I really only like mint in gum and toothpaste… I don’t like mint chocolate chip ice cream, or thin mints, or those peppermint patty things… just give me the chocolate.

Where are you?
I haven’t been, but Bi-Rite in the mission is supposed to be a-m-a-z-i-n-g.

Just got done watching Rich's innings.
Fucking dominant :( 7 IP, 94 pitches, 10K, 0BB, 2H, 0R. Hit 95, 95, 94 with his last 3 pitches. Got his first career RBI. Bittersweet, but I’m happy for him.
is it wrong that I hope he does awful, just so I will feel somewhat good about this horrendous
trade?
doubtful

It could be argued that they stopped trying right after the GM traded away their best player for nothing
That being said a professional needs to try no matter what the GM says or does
maybe the Twins will use up all of their hits tonight
and we can sneak one by tomorrow
The pitching is so bad
i hope Minn is stealing signs or something. I guess im hoping these guys dont suck this bad.

Casilla is probably my least favorite A's pitcher.
His stuff (and his concentration) seem to come and go as he pleases. Remember when Geren had to come out to the mound just to yell at him and get his mind back in the game? That’s the worst…at least Embree tries to get every hitter out, even if it doesn’t look like it sometimes…

Ok
cant watch anymore. Have a great night all. Peace out

Casilla should have been shutdown for the season when he injured himself
I hate unproductive outs and the A's are producing them at record production
Actually
half the others should never have made it to the majors
There are about 8 or 10 I would keep and the rest need to be dropped off on a deserted island and left there to fend for themselves.

Even poor Cargon is having a tough time at the plate

Hanley Ramirez has 27 HRs
Barton, Ellis, Crosby, Hannahan= together, 29 HRs.

Hannahan needs to remain in Minny
with his 150 friends and family.
His picture is in the dictionary under the word awful

Korach: The A's are going to need to work on making more contact in September & next season.
Brilliant observation…I’m pretty sure a turn-of-the-century NYC newsboy with a broken broom for a bat could make more consistent contact that the 2008 Oakland Athletics.

Have to agree with most of y'all tonight
The Harden trade is really starting to look like Billy Beane completely fucked himself and the A’s……
what a total disaster since Gallagher’s first start against the Angels. Goddammit, WTF is going on with Billy and that trade? I was a fan of SG when he came over but Harden is really making Beane look like a horses’ arse!
I didn't want Harden to go
He was worth the risk as far as I was concerned.
Billy might be good in certain areas but he is horrible in other areas.
Not drafting 3B and SS for starters.
Bringing in players who cannot make contact.
Esteban Loaiza contract (LOL) amongst other bad contracts
Hiring puppets as managers to do what he says. Playing the OBP game with players who know how to walk but not a clue how to drive those in who walk.
Yeah, he’s done great with the teams in early 2000’s but it’s sickening watching the Angels do all the fundamentals and get more out of average players than other teams.

Trainman
Props my man, props. Right now, I’m waiting for the next brilliant bit of baseball GM 101 to hit the ground running……LOL!
Gallagher's first start looked good on paper
but the Angels hit 4 shots that would have gone out if it was a day game. i for one was not surprised that he has not looked good. oh, but he is 22 and might get better :-) and under club control for 5 more years…that’s what is really important.
Remember everyone, every trade can always be judged based on what happens in the first couple months afterward!

You know it's not going well...
when the broadcasters are lost in ancient play by play memories
Enjoy the game
Well maybe the A's will keep them under 20.
Im out, going looking for something more fun or at least better than one team scoring on the football scale and the other team scoring less than a club footed, one eyed hunchback, with horrible BO at a Hawaiian Topics contest
Harden will get hurt soon
and be unavailable for the playoffs. Out next season due to injury. Gallagher will have a breakout 2009. Let’s all be patient. At least they didn’t get shut out! Tomorrow we will emerge victorious! Go A’s!
