Open Thread: Last Game of the Season (cont.)

PrintA's will be looking to extend a slim lead going into the 4th inning. The guys jumped all over Dickey in the 1st inning by putting up a 3-spot. But since that time, the offense has quieted down. Outman, looking as hittable as he did in Texas, has given 2 runs back to the Mariners. A's still up 3-2.

We love ya, Ken, but, please, face the facts…
Vince: "September has not been kind to Crosby"
actually, for all who wondered what Crosby could do in a healthy season — now we know.

Something like that
Ozzie actually said that he thinks Garcia can make it back to the bigs, but they needed a guy who would be ready and 100% this season and he didn’t think Garcia would be at that point until next season. He might be right. Detroit just has nothing to lose by having him get some work now.

Andy Bernard does not lose contests. He wins them. Or he quits them. Because they're unfair.

Ryan Sweeney is strangely slow in the OF and gets incredibly poor jumps; Gonzalez is the opposite. Gonzalez catches that – it wasn’t nearly as hard a play as it appeared to be.

We're in a team-wide funk. ~Mark Ellis
I really like Outman's stuff
His issue doesn’t seem to me to be so much control as it is pitch selection. The 0-2 “backfoot slider” he threw Lopez this inning is precisely the pitch he needed to throw Balentien (when he doubled). He needs to learn when and how to go “up the ladder” with his fastball, how to bury his slider, etc. He has a chance to be good.
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
He's going to have to work on his curve.
Or throw it very rarely. He’s got a plus fast ball and the slider is very good.
"You may glory in a team triumphant, but you fall in love with a team in defeat."--The Boys of Summer
The curve should be more of a "get me over" pitch to steal a strike
He’s a power pitcher – if he wants to go soft, use the changeup.
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
Yeah, problem for Outman is that his
curve fools no one. The couple he’s thrown have ended up a very long way from home plate.

Suzuki has a cannon for an arm...
the league knows it. He was in shallow right when he made that throw…..he usually doesn’t miss. Ask T. Long about Suzuki’s arm…..his ass got thrown out at third on a ball that never got higher than six feet off the ground when Ichiro threw it. It also came in at about the speed of sound.

Right - not only is an Ichiro throw rarely off line,
but even with that throw it’s possible Johjima would have had time to catch it and STILL get back to block off / tag Denorfia. Waller did the right thing holding the runner.

You don't think Street will be traded?
I don’t see much chance of Beane bringing him back next year, especially at the risk of arbitration.
I think he'll be shopped....
and i’m guessing the Mets will by buying…..lol.

crosby isnt the sharpest tool in the shed
give him a ticket to vancocuver, instead of oakland and ban him from entering the US forever. maybe best friend JP will give him a job
With any luck, Crosby chasing ball 4 in the dirt
to kill a rally will be his final AB for the A’s. Please?

I wonder where RyRy and his dad are going to stop on the way back to Iowa.
They’re going a bit farther east than I did when I drove there, but Rock Springs, Wyoming, is about halfway…

Little America is sort of interesting

I think we stopped there once

Okay... the Giants won...
now can we switch to the A’s? I’m just afraid they’re gonna show the Giants postgame show instead…
unlikely

I'm not going to miss the radio ads
(especially because we usually get half of them recycled for next year). I finally looked up the lyrics to the song in the Valero commercial, which I kept hearing as “The brave are free and love and sore” — and I’m thinking, okay, so they may be but what does that have to do with gasoline?

You know what stinks?
The A’s are going to juuuuust finish with better records than about 4 teams (win or lose today). 73 wins would have gotten the A’s a much better pick than 75.

And can he play third, hit for power and hit from the right side?
Oooooh and can he be ready the day after he’s drafted?
Well, I meant for Seattle to draft
The guy you’re talking about is also somehow overlooked for 12 picks.

Someone better make a game thread for this
and pretend that instead of posting the line-ups for the White sox, post it as if they are the A’s, and then we’ll have a game thread.
There's some former A's in a game tomorrow...

Kotsay, DJ, Carlos Peña, Blanton, Harden,
Gaudin (if he makes the postseason roster), Ethier, Kendall…
lol finish strong
5 loses in a row
12th worst record, 13th pick in draft

This is what it feels like to have your heart cut out.

Who? The 2008 A's?
That is SO living in the past. The 2009 A’s, however, are an RISP-hitting, productive out executing, collective RBI masheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen.
