Open Thread: Game 126 - A's at Minnesota

Baseball_tiny by baseballgirl on Comment 277 comments

Oakland Athletics @ Minnesota Twins


Good morning and welcome to another exciting day of A's baseball! The A's will try to win their first series since 2006 who knows as they send Dallas Braden to the hill as the sacrificial lamb starting pitcher. The game starts bright and early this morning, so grab your coffee and radio and let's watch the A's win try to win not lose lose by only a little play baseball!

Braden will face Francisco Liriano and the Twins, who are just a game out of first in the Central, so they have everything to play for right now. On the other hand, the A's are just trying to win a series. But they have to start somewhere.

Some of us lived through the mid-to-late 1990's; we can live through this stretch too. Plus, all the cool people are in the game thread today (hint hint).

Why the hell is Cust playing right field?

Apparently Geren doesn’t care anymore, either?

That was my guess.

Unearned runs keep ERAs down, making pitchers feel better about themselves?

Sweeney is out, Patterson cant hit, CarGon could use a day off and Brown was horrible in RF earlier this year

So through a process of elimination that leaves Cust. But moving him to RF left LF open so Geren went through the process again and decided that hey Brown was horrible in RF and thats not LF lets see what happens

I think the season started with the A’s on KALX (?) – the Berkeley student station, which had coverage from El Cerrito to Emeryville.

I forget the station call letters, but I remember that.

Also, IIRC, they didn’t even get that set up until sometime in late May, so the first part of the season had no radio coverage at all.

Isn't the Denard Span

the official name of the temporary causeway they put up to help build the new Bay Bridge?

Arte didn't get much Home Run Derby. He was dug in too deep or moving too fast. His idea of great R&R was cold rice and a little rat meat.
