injury news is never good news
not for opposing teams, and certainly not for your own players and prospects..
by OaklandSi on Mar 31, 2009 11:26 AM PDT reply actions 0 recs
Does any know why "Will Call" is not an option any more when buying A's tickets online?
is it because they want to make more money? or do they just not want to open those booths on game days?
either way, it’s quite annoying.
I’m going to write to them. The campaign starts here!

Combined with the four weekday day games,
maybe Lew really is trying to give us the cold shoulder!
Is he breaking up with us?!

playing time projections for Marcel
Tom Tango is looking for fans to submit their predictions for playing time of players on their favorite team. The results are averaged to come up with wisdom of crowds estimates for all players. The estimates are used in Tango’s Marcel the Monkey forecasting system.
So click on this link, select the A’s, and enter your predictions. There are only 30 responses for Oakland so far, which is very weak compared to the 271 responses for the Mariners. Also, Cahill and Anderson were only added to his ballot yesterday, so most of the A’s responses are sort of wrong anyway.
Or maybe you don’t want to help Tango out, since he’s an advisor for the Seattle front office now.

With Devine likely out for a prolonged period of time...
and Henry Rodriguez now strictly a bullpen arm, one can only hope that he can be fast-tracked to the majors to serve as the future closer.

Blah....
I’m fighting the jetlag here at work, staring at the A’s 2009 schedule, realizing that there are only 4 weekday day games at home between June 1-August 14. Two on Wednesdays, two on Thursdays. Only 4??? Sheesh, they really don’t want me skipping out on work this summer….
There's no crying in baseball!

Four all GD summer?!
I don’t ever live there and that pisses me off.

Giants have a similar number of daygames
The baseball scheduling people clearly think work is more valuable than laying in the sunshine, drinking beer, and watching ballgames….

Seriously, do people that enjoy baseball make these schedules?

you'd think, with more people, yknow, not at work any more
that they’d have more day games so that it gives us layabouts something to do?

Where have you been?
If ever a game should have been called on account of wind, that one was it. Good thing Jerry Blevins didn't have to pitch; he's tall, skinny, and I could practically see one of the 40-mph gusts...sweeping him off the bump and pinning him to the left-field fence. --Mychael Urban

Working.
