"And Julio Franco is batting right-handed!" -- Wayne Hagin, A's radio play-by-play, mid-80s
Let's crack this thing open before 8:30, okay boys?
I got things to do.
Nico: Okay. We have twelve hours to make a really big pickle.
has he been pre-approved per the board?

quick game so far
but I’d like to score some more runs before the game ends, k?

How can U give up a home run to a .170 hitter
I guess by throwing it right down Broadway

A's will face Dan Haren tomorrow
guess today is their best chance to win
In the battle of the strong, victory goes to the brave.
At least he's not lefthanded
"And Julio Franco is batting right-handed!" -- Wayne Hagin, A's radio play-by-play, mid-80s
I would say it's possible to get to Haren
but then I look and see Edgar Gonzalez pitching and come to the realization that we better win tonight
I looked at Chris Young's picture on Gameday
and thought, “Uh oh, due for a home run..”
Weird premonition….

Granted, a bad mistake by Kennedy,
but at least he was decisive. I’ll take that any day over Rajai’s “to third no back to second no third wait I’ll just hang out here halfway!!!” If the ball drops, Kennedy’s at third easy. The mistake was thinking the ball had a good chance to drop when in fact it wasn’t all that close.

Did Cahill come more over the top on that last pitch?
If so, he ought to do it more often.
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
It looked different
Of course, one of the problems mentioned with Cahill is a lack of consistency in terms of his release point. So there’s that…
There's a quote from Zooks somewhere saying
Cahill has a few different arm slots. No wonder he doesn’t know where the pitch is going.
Isn't that the sentence that Chomsky used to demonstrate that linguistic structure exists independent ot meaning?

Giambi, at least so far, has been relegated to designated walker. Which is fine if someone else can bring him in.

When the weather is warm, you add 2-3 million POTENTIAL goers

The “one-half of one percent” is why you need a large metro area to support baseball.

Chavez is out
Ellis is out
Duchscherer is out, no one is hitting worth snot, so he’s “had it”. But really, he had little trading power. No one is a rose among the milkweed, no one looks particularly covetable. It’s a yard of dandelions, so no one is too interested. I think by saying, “he’s had it”, that he simply holds no hope of success in 2009, so you won’t see any work done. As in, no trades.

How early do we get to say game over?
After the 9th inning.

A little consistency would be go a long way for this team….

Not fair.
Nats fans have a highly productive offense, a currently lousy pitching staff widely projected to be very good in a couple of years, and a really great new stadium.

Resounding rebuttal! Well done!
And above all, keep ignoring the point you’re supposedly responding to. You’ll feel good — but I guess you already know that.

Gotta laugh at Aybar
2 pop up bunts and this time with Figgins at 3rd and no outs, he attempts to get the ball into the infield but flails and the bat goes to the infield and Scioscia walks away from railing in disgust. LOL
Pity they have two more chances to score though
thank you trainman
