PrintOakland Athletics at Minnesota Twins, Aug 20, 2008 10:10 AM PDT
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).
LET'S GO OAK-LAND!

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
Some of us lived through the late 70's, too
why I am admitting that, I have no idea.
I'm here to talk about the past.

As did I, but...

Uh oh… deja vu?

I think the season started with the A’s on KALX (?) – the Berkeley student station, which had coverage from El Cerrito to Emeryville.
"However, at Elias, I think they keep track of the amount of sunflower seeds spit in a dugout each night." - Brad Ziegler, 8/7/08
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.

OMG!
Totally forgot we had a day game.
Although, given the past month of Baseball, it would probably be better for my mental health to have continued to forget.

The wild thing about Ramirez
is that he looks like he is about 170 pounds, but just mashes.
Bring back Hammer.

His build is kind of similar to Patterson's...
…with different results.

Give him time........not that he'll be as good as Ramirez, but I'd like to see
him given an extended shot before we crucify him.
I'd love to see him make it, because the A's NEED
a good hitter who can get out and fly – which Patterson is, according to scouts.

Along these same lines-what's for lunch?
I decided to go into the office today (so now I can’t listen to the game-stupid friggin bank security), so I have to figure out where/what to eat.

Homemade are the best
Made just the way you like, cheese gets melted enough, and not too many toppings to make all the chips soggy.

wow, that sounds fancy.
Did you make it? I think I am making some chicken salad from scratch.
39 remarkable innings.
Same as always
Ramen and a Turkey Sandwich.
But I still have to eat breakfast.

We get to play the Mariners next!
Maybe then the A’s will score more then 3 runs? Maybe?

If the A's get shutout by Washburn, then they should just stop the season RIGHT THEN.

Wash was pretty darn good in June and July...
Rough August so far, but he has been very solid most of the summer

The Pepsi people are getting free advertising without having to give free two liters away
The A’s are offensively-challenged, so it’s difficult to imagine the team scoring 7 or more runs.

If we lose by less than 10 runs I'm happy.

Did everybody see Duke and Gallagher shut down
at least one start. Gallagher arm fatigue, with Geren talking about his change in velocity. Evelend back up, no?

My latte took kind of a long time.

Thanks
although it’s bad news….
I also stopped at the front desk and got my mail, which consisted of three free books and two free CDs. There are things I like about my job, after all….

they're always books aimed at the teacher who gets them,
which makes life more interesting. But it’s also bribery. Low-level, of course, but…
