Open Thread: Game 8 - A's vs. Red Sox
Boston Red Sox at Oakland Athletics, Apr 14, 2009 7:05 PM PDT
A very satisfying win over the Red Sox (who are now more like the "Dark Blue Or Maybe Black Because It's Tough To Tell For Sure Sox" if their uniforms are an indication) broke a three-game losing streak for the A's and it was great to see them hang a nice big crooked number on them early in the game. Matt Holliday showed flashes of what the A's expect him to do with the bat for however long he's in the green and gold and Jack Cust continued a very strong start to the 2009 season with another homer.
Reports of Jason Giambi leaving the ballpark hooked up to an oxygen machine are unconfirmed but probable, given that it looks like he's training for a marathon. The A's moved to within 2 games of first place Seattle with, fortunately, 155 games left in the regular season.
In the second game of the only visit Boston will make to the Coliseum this season (THANK YOU), Dana Eveland (0-0, 4.50 ERA, 1.67 WHIP) faces Daisuke Matsuzaka (0-1, 6.75 ERA, 2.25 WHIP).
Eveland's first start against the Angels was pretty average all around but he kept them off the board in five of his six innings. Then the A's staged their exciting comeback in the last two innings prior to the tragic news we all heard about Nick Adenhart the next morning. Meanwhile, Dice-K had a forgettable start against the Devil Rays, coughing up a trio of homers along with 9 hits and 3 walks in 5 1/3 innings. More of that tonight please, thank you.
I'll be taking pictures at Raley Field tomorrow for the late-morning game between the Sacramento River Cats and Portland Beavers, with Ryan Webb scheduled to pitch for the Cats, sandwiched, of course, between Vince Mazzaro and James Simmons. I'd have liked to see one of them pitch but that's the way it goes. Since I had some home-related business to take care of in the area I decided to make a night of it locally instead of driving home only to go right back up tomorrow. It doesn't look like the motel gets CSNCA so I guess I'll be following Gameday or something like that. D'oh!
Next week I'll be over in Reno for a couple games at the new ballpark being finished downtown. Tucson, Arizona's Triple-A affiliate, moved there in the offseason. I really enjoy getting to check out new places and this one looks like it's going to be very nice. If you're curious, you can see a photo gallery here. Maybe some of you will find it worth going to see a game there if you're ever in the area (like, say, at the casinos).
Anyway, go A's!
First Pitch: 7:05 PM
TV: CSNCA

He won’t be in until the weekend at the earliest.

Seems like the wind has been hurting us all spring, as short as its been.
Bobby Crosby = ground-out triple play...
Good to see slegnA Lose
Scot Shields allows a leadoff double then a bunt which he fields and throws down the first base line for a big fat L
He's pretty good at those game-ending throwing errors, isn't he?

Yeah, but I think Shields did it in the Coliseum the year before

The A's pregame show on CSNCA
is almost unbearable to watch. Watching Mindi Bach and FP Santangelo is hard enough but instead of seeing Jaymee Sire, they use some Kate Longworth to report the news and notes. She obviously didn’t know Bob Geren’s name, referring to him only as “Skip” and in the lineup they showed it had Ryan Sweeney listed as Mark Sweeney. She then had to say Travis Buck’s name multiple times to get it right. Good lord.

How does FP Santangelo get this job…he seems clueless and so does Mindi Bach…could they hire someone who actually knows how to discuss baseball and not try to say stuff that doesnt really make sense
I'd be happy with people who actually care about the A's
Those two don’t seem like the biggest fans IMO

I look forward to visiting that Reno ballpark too
because I live not far at all from there. But I can tell you that at the moment the snow is pounding down up here. We’ve picked up about an inch over the last few innings of that Angels-Mariners game. :-)
I like
The A’s vs. Matsuzaka cuz he traditionally throws a lot of pitches and usually the A’s are good at working counts…so hopefully these two traditions hold up and Matsuzaka gets knocked out early
