I don't know if Ken K. noticed, because he didn't mention it,
but there was no cut-off man for Rajai, which might have confused him. Crosby wasn’t there.

Orlando Cabrera’s double clutch allowed Russell Martin to reach and he scored on Juan Pierre’s single after Martin got to second on a sacrifice bunt.

Here's a tough call coming up: Mazzaro bats 3rd in the 7th inning
I’d say if it’s two out, nobody on, let him hit. If it’s 1st/2nd nobody out, let him bunt. Anything else, I think you have to pinch hit.

It looked close
The A’s have time to see a replay and, if they’re worried, send Garciaparra to 2nd as soon as the new pitcher gets the ball. If he so much as fakes at Garciaparra, they can’t appeal to 3rd.

Giambi, Cabrera, Sweeney, Barton?

I heard Broxton was out for this game
Did our TV guys not get the memo? Or have they been too busy talking about parking lot gas stations to notice?

I find it very insightful
Next time I’m in LA I can get gas after the game. Thanks, Ray.

Take BART! *toot, toot!*

BART seems so nice until you're sitting on a smelly seat
and go past your stop after finally falling to sleep in the morning.

Actually, that "O" was a HBP,
a bloop single, and a throw to the wrong base.

Buck, yes, Ellis not so much
He’s incapable because of his injured shoulder.

Barton's incapable of playing 3B due to his injured suck.

Good point, Hannahan's suck is way better
Oh wait, no it’s not.
Time to fucking try SOMETHING. Is this team going to be any worse with the guy who was their #1 prospect at age 20 trying out third base? Nope.
"I’m Joey Devine, I’m what Joba Chamberlain would be if he was good and nobody had ever heard of him."
Unless he hits like Hannahan and fields like crap

Yes, but he would have batted against Belasario
Torre didn’t make the move until Sweeney was announced.

Dang. You'd think that just because a team hit into 4 DPs
and got picked off once, it wouldn’t stop them from winning the game.

Ryan Sweeney won't even be in the majors in two years
He doesn’t do much of anything well.
Carlos Gonzalez HRed tonight.
Just thought I’d pick this random time to mention it.

He is easily the worst pitcher among people who have written on AN's front page.

Guys I'd love to get rid of
Cabrera, Sweeney, Cust, Giambi, Springer, Casilla.
I can’t watch those guys anymore. I know exactly what they are and I’m sick of rooting for them.
Basically, players with vowels?
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
I'll keep Cust, thank you very much, and dump the rest.

dude, you totally mis-spelled "crosby". It's c-r-o-s-b-y, not c-u-s-t !!
Your 2009 Oakland Athetics: This time, it's personal.
Nico
You’ve always been down on Sweeney, I know.
But for me, Cust’s act is so old. So much of what I’m sick of about the A’s: guys who can’t hit for average and who can’t field. And I love Jack Cust as a story and wish him all the luck in the world. I’d just rather be rooting for him on another team because I’m dead tired of rooting for guys who hit .230 and walk.
You'd rather be rooting for guys who hit .220 and DON'T walk?
"I’m Joey Devine, I’m what Joba Chamberlain would be if he was good and nobody had ever heard of him."
I like Cust. As a DH. Surrounded by guys who can hit .290.

I like what you have to say. Perhaps you have a brochure or newsletter I may subscribe to?
