10-2 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.

We may never know, since the A's seem determined

not to learn from the Meyer fiasco. “Just keep running him out there, Bob!”

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

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…

Screw Harden, I miss Gaudin!!!

They're called RUNS for a reason.

favorite kind of ice cream/favorite place to get ice cream? (I have a sweet tooth.)

nom nom

I like fruity ice cream. Pineapple or strawberry or cherry or peach.

by schmifty on Aug 19, 2008 7:07 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

agreed

I absolutely love gelato — usually I get a fruity one and a chocolaty one. My latest combination was pineapple and Nutella… perfect.

meh

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.

I'm in the Bay Area

but haven’t heard of that place. Next time I’m in the city, I’ll hafta check it out.

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.

Jesus man.

Are these guys even trying anymore…

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

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…

Someone ALWAYS has to get him out of a jam.

And he is ALWAYS good for at least 1-2 runs!

Ok

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

Casilla should have been shutdown for the season when he injured himself

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.

Hanley Ramirez has 27 HRs

Barton, Ellis, Crosby, Hannahan= together, 29 HRs.

But he'll be fine

I’m not worried about C-Gon, he is gonna be a stud.

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!

by mrod on Aug 19, 2008 7:32 PM PDT   0 recs

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.

Props my man, props. Right now, I’m waiting for the next brilliant bit of baseball GM 101 to hit the ground running……LOL!

by mrod on Aug 19, 2008 7:46 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

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.
