PrintOakland Athletics at Texas Rangers, Sep 22, 2008 5:05 PM PDT
The battle for second place in the AL West rages on. If you had told me before the season started that the A's starting pitcher who would make the most starts would be Greg Smith, I would tell you that the A's would be in line for last place in the AL West. It's not that Greg Smith isn't a good pitcher, it's just that I would honestly have believed that the team was destined for mediocrity at best.
Smith starts tonight in Arlington against Kevin Millwood. Can you believe that there are only five games left after tonight? Any way, here is what the starters' stats look like this year:
Smith's issues this year have obviously been the free pass. Millwood's issues this year have related to the fact that he's been very, very hittable.
The A's have been really damn good lately. They've won three in a row and seven out of the last 10. Course they're doing it when it doesn't matter at all any more and I'd almost prefer that they get a better draft position. I think Smoak was taken one pick ahead of them last year. Imagine if the Rangers wind up right there again this year and steal someone the A's could've used. Any way, I'm not going to complain about the team playing good baseball, I guess I just wish that it happened a lot sooner than this.
Here are the lineups for tonight:
This September has been fun seeing Buck come back up and not look completely lost at the plate. Hopefully it was just an aberration with him. It's also been fun to watch Cunningham up with the big club. 2008 is almost in the books already. Wow, seems like it was just yesterday I was talking about a Tigers/D'Backs World Series and the Mariners finishing above the A's in the AL West. D'oh!
LET'S GO A'S!!!!!!!

I picked the A's to win the AL West.
Of course I do that almost every year. Probably not next year though.

I like that Baisley, Pennington, Cunningham and Buck are getting at bats.
Good experience for them and gives the front office an extended window to evaluate them.
i really like seeing that too. It’s the only exciting thing at the end of this season anyhow. It is great to see them getting some at bats under their belts. Love it. Oh, that and greeeeg smith pitching tonight

Seems you thought we were already headed for mediocrity. ;)

Who needs a life when you have the A’s?

I almost hopped in the car and headed to BART for the game today.
Then I remembered that BART doesn’t go all the way to Texas. Dang.

I'm really glad we aren't the rangers
I can’t imagine how horrible it would be to be stuck with Michael Young’s contract.
Does anyone know why when I 'z' the thread to read new comments the

I leave that comment to you girls. I never know when to go D or R.
So, has anyone seen Nico?
I'm here to talk about the past.
Rich Harden continues to torture me
I bought tickets to see him at Shea tomorrow, and of course he gets pushed back at the last minute.
Why did I even fall for it?!
I waited til 48 hours before game time before believing that he would really stick, thinking that was cutting it close enough. NOPE.
There are few things you can count on
Not being able to count on Rich is one of them.

Nice job, Pennington -
I think Cust made the right call, too – it looked like Young would have had a great chance to throw him out, and against this pitching staff you do NOT want to run into outs.

I think he'll have trouble finding a lot of hits
against a defense that can play him so shallow, and once he’s established as a strict singles hitter there’s not much reason to pitch him overly carefully.

I don't think he disagreed with the call
I certainly didn’t.

The replay on the Rangers station showed it about 6" inside

6" is a lot (that's what she said)
Maybe I mis-saw it, but it looked like it came back to me.

Or maybe the machine was wrong.
In any case I really dislike the human element…or humans for that matter.

I'm with you on part of that -
I too hate humans.

Yup, it's pretty terrible

I'm back
Cool trade. I gave my son twelve tamales in exchange for three words.
I'm here to talk about the past.
I broke down and went to the bathroom

I should have saved them for you
Got more than three words and I don’t even know you.
I'm here to talk about the past.

That was big league.
Cliff looks great at 2B.

Yes, he's no Eric Patterson

Meh, neither is Patterson.

Ellis may be making than he thought if he's still around next season.
I don’t think he will be.

Cliff could replace Crosby

I'm sure he could.
Just don’t think he will. We’re stuck with Bobby for one more season. Not to worry, Crosby will have a career year next season. Effing bastard that he is.

What exactly is a career year for Crosby?

A year in which I don't hate him, but merely dislike him?
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
I didn't hate him as long as he was a defensive asset.
Now I do.

He'll hit 290
with 25 HR’s next year…..or the year after he leaves the A’s.

Oh come on - no he won't.
Not next year, or any other year. Never.

He might in AA. Doesn't he have options left?

I believe you're referring to
Bobby Crosby. Former A’s SS after 2009.
Kinda makes you wish it was already this time next year.

Smith really set Hamilton up nicely for the hanging slider

Once again
I don’t even need to watch the game, so long as you’re calling it.
I'm here to talk about the past.
Yes it comes in handy
