Open Thread: Game 112 - A's at Blue Jays

PrintGio Gonzalez is reportedly on his way, presumably having tossed a tourniquet in his suitcase to help stop the bleeding that has become the 2008 Oakland A's. Having lost 16 of 18, Oakland turns to Greg Smith hoping Smith can get deep into the game after the last three starting pitchers have gone 2, 3.1, and 3 innings respectively.
"It is always darkest before the dawn" - I'm ready for dawn. The starting lineups:
R. Sweeney - RF
Suzuki - C
Cust - LF
Thomas - DH
Gonzalez - CF
Ellis - 2B
Hannahan - 3B
Crosby - SS
Barton - 1B
Scutaro - 2B
Eckstein - DH {stop laughing}
Rios - CF
Overbay - 1B
Barajas - C
Lind - LF
Rolen - 3B
Mench - RF
McDonald - SS

Bad commentary really bugs me
Thomas clearly struck out swinging. The home plate umpire pointed to Thomas, then made the strike call. Of course the Blue Jays color commentator was not entirely sure, then said it must’ve been a called strike. Come on, people, at least try to be professionals.

Can someone link me to an article or fanpost that explains the base coach switch?
Or explain it briefly? I missed out on that one. Thanks.
"I'm going to take a camera crew and march into Billy Beane's office and demand to know why instituting his newfangled cost-saving measures means that the run manufacturing plant had to get shut down." FJM
I'm not sure if the A's explained why
But I think it’s pretty obvious that TonyD was not capable of doing the job. Gonzalez (I think, I’m trying to forget most of these recent games) being thrown out by about 712 feet a few games ago might have been the final straw.

The throw was a little high, but it hit the glove.
It’s not like it was a catcher airmailing a ball into CF on a steal or anything.
Korach is wrong
They just showed a replay. Crosby dropped the ball. It was a little high, but it just bounced out of his glove.

From Yahoo Sports
TORONTO (AP)—Left-hander Gio Gonzalez will make his major league debut when the Oakland Athletics face the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday.
"I’m excited to see it," manager Bob Geren said. "This is another one of the guys who is a big piece of what we’re building here. It’s going to be great to see him get the experience and get it started right here."
The 22-year-old Gonzalez was 8-7 with a 4.24 ERA with Triple-A Sacramento, where he struck out 128 batters and walked 61 in 123 innings. He pitched eight shutout innings Friday in a victory over Nashville.
Gonzalez will be added to the roster before Wednesday’s game. So far, no corresponding move has been announced.
Gonzalez learned of his promotion following Tuesday’s game in Sacramento, but couldn’t join the Athletics immediately because his passport was at his offseason home in Miami.
Gonzalez asked a friend to fly the passport from Miami to Chicago and meet him at O’Hare airport, where he picked up the document and boarded a flight to Toronto.
Selected by the Chicago White Sox in the first round of the 2004 draft, Gonzalez was traded to Oakland last January in the deal that sent outfielder Nick Swisher to Chicago.
A spot in Oakland’s rotation opened up when left-hander Dana Eveland was optioned to Triple-A on Sunday
Right-hander Justin Duchscherer, who is 0-2 with a 5.21 ERA in his past three starts, will get an extra day of rest and start Thursday’s series finale against the Blue Jays.
Geren also said he is considering giving right-hander Sean Gallagher an extra day of rest before his next scheduled start. Gallagher, who
How nice...
that Gio is organized enough that he could tell his friend where in his home the passport was.

But I think I can see it on one of his White Sox cards...
I guess the Japan one was an additional one.
(I don’t like the quarter-sleeve on him, yuck)
I lied.
Just read the article. No Ry Bear.
Mark Ellis: sent down from Heaven to rob Evil of hits and hand out rainbows
Yeah I just saw his quarter-sleeve in a bit that was filmed in Japan (for the 'net Impact' TV show)
No plastic taped over it or anything, so it looks preexisting…
Guess I’ve never seen him in short sleeves other than in that bit. He always wears longish sleeves, wonder if it has anything to do with that meh tattoo.
If you're going to voluntarily cover a tattoo,
it probably wasn’t a good idea.
There's no textbook for how to treat a geriatric tapir.
Wasnt there a pitcher that had to cover his a couple years back?
and i think he pitched for the Jays?
Oh yeah I just read about that... shoot I forget his name
I think if you google “baseball” and “tattoos”, he comes right up, no joke
I'm talking about CHOOSING to cover your tattoos, though.
Lots of people (including my son) have to cover tattoos for employment reasons.
There's no textbook for how to treat a geriatric tapir.
It's a TV show that I have tivo'ed :( from back in April
I think I got it from the Mets channel, strangely enough. It follows Buck, Barton and Swoonz around in Japan, and they eat sushi with Zook, and they go on a ferris wheel and Staplehead gets scared.
It's sooo cute
They make Staplehead eat all the weird crustaceans and he freaks out. They also told him wasabi is not hot, and then watched his eyes pop out of his head.
Also they follow a lot of other guys around the Japanese stadium and there are hysterical bits between Croz/Ellis and Croz/Street.
:( I still haz it on my Tivo, if I figure out how to put that stuff on Youtube, Jennifer will be the first to know
cuz I have other online friends asking for it, so I might as well learn
I have that, too...
It was an “A’s in Japan” edition of the “A’s Magazine” show, wasn’t it?

I have to say, while it's frustrating to see Frank hit like Swooney ...
... I think it’s an admirable sign of his professionalism that he always has a routine and a progression that he goes through when hitting after coming back from injury. He doesn’t start out trying to do too much—or even trying to do very much at all but poke the ball with a level swing wherever it’s pitched.
This is the highest-known density of gorillas that's ever been found. @('.')@
Heck, why don't the A's hire big Frank as a hitting coach?
Would be much better to have someone who actually knows how to hit to be a hitting coach
