For me though, It's not really so much what Harden does now. The A's could have

by Erin6 on Sep 26, 2008 9:13 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
How?
We could never keep him on the field long enough to build up his value. The minute he played long enough to have value Beane wisely dumped him on the most desperate organization available. In other words, we got the best thing that was available at the same time Rich was able to pitch.

I just don't buy that teams were so scared of Harden's health that Beane
couldn’t have gotten more for him. Teams make ridiculous trades all the time. I don’t believe for one second that Harden’s value had dropped so low that gallagher was the best he could do
by Erin6 on Sep 26, 2008 9:19 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
How many innings do you think Rich pitched
in the last few years? Everyone knows he’s a great pitcher…..when he can pitch. Which isn’t very often. Beane got what he could get. Is Rich a better pitcher than Gallagher? Of course he is……when he can take the field. Which ain’t often and not likely to change anytime soon.
Beane has been playing this game a long time. Do you seriously believe that he let Harden go for less than maximum value possible? Why would he do such a stupid thing? Neither you or anyone else on this site is as qualified as Beane to do his job. To think that Beane didn’t maximize his position with Harden is more than slightly ridiculous.

Gio and Carlos Gonzalez, and Sean Gallagher,
are all 22 years old and their play looks every bit the part. It doesn’t mean they won’t be good. Gallagher’s stuff was downright electric tonight – and if Crosby, you know, catches a soft line drive, the results might look very different. True Gallagher fell apart after two misplays, but again, that’s youth. He has a great arm and a lot to learn. Let’s see how things look in two years.

To me,
Beane dumped Harden the very second he managed to aquire value. Comparable to controlling an under performing stock and holding it till its value started to rise. The second it did Beane cut his losses and made the best trade available on the market.
That’s not to say that I don’t believe Gallagher will improve. I think he most certainly will. He’s young and enjoying his longest sustained period in the majors. Give him another year and see how he does.

Eventually, someone is going to crash into someone else. There will be tears and stitches, and stickers from the nurse.

The M's are determined to retain their hold on fourth.
So there’s that.

I don't know where to find that, do you?
I found something that had the AL leaders. For the A’s, Smith 15, Braden 7, Eveland and Ziggy 2 each. So it’s at least the 27th.

33 HR's for Cust...
and only 76 RBI. That tells you how terrible the rest of this A’s offense has been all season.

I've actually seen a surprising number of orange cars.
My friend wanted one but thought it would hurt the resale value. She went with silver instead.

We could take my car.
It’s tan and half the paint is chipping off the hood. And it’s almost 10 years old. Pretty nondescript. But I just washed it today, so it’s clean!

But I have dark tinted windows. And my car is dirty.
