Open Thread: Game 2 - A's at Angels (cont.)

After an insurance run and two strong innings by Casilla, we go to the ninth with the A's up 6-3.

Do we get Ziggy or do we get more runs?  Maybe both?  Time to finish the job and make us and the AN contingent down the right field line happy.

I think you can breathe easy

their hitting will look good against Jeff Suppan, but i suspect their offense wont be much better than last year. Too many ifs. If Sandoval can stay consistent If Rowand can rediscover some power. If Ishikawa can take a hold of the 1B job for good. If Fred Lewis develops the way he should. They have a lot of good average hitters but not much speed or power.

do they have jack in the box down there?

when I lived in Boston that used to kill me. But now, unfortunately, when I see a Dunkin Donuts commercial I kind of want to move back.
