Huge crash with the TV. It pulled the cable out of the wall. Broke the TV but it still works. And by some miracle. I have it working again.

I have a DVR and I could not get it to work so by elimination, I unplugged the DVR and plugged the cable directly into the TV which was all fuzz on the screen. I plug in cable and I get ESPN etc so I know the cable is OK and the TV is OK. I plug the DVR back in and all I get is fuzz. I find a spare coax cable and replace the one that goes from the DVR to the TV. Bingo!!!! I now have fully working cable and TV and I get to watch the Lowlights of these POS. How lucky can I be?

Gio was brutal

overall

Errors didn’t help but the kid is not ready for ML’s IMO

Too much of a headcase. He loses his composure and he has not gotten any better in that department since last year. He does not have the makeup like the other rookies. His fastball is very hittable.

I would trade him with Holliday if the right deal came along

by Trainman on Jun 24, 2009 9:56 PM PDT up reply actions  

True - it's hard to judge when the defense

keeps forcing a pitcher to get 4-5 outs. Two balls to Cust could have been caught and 1-2 to Cabrera, and the impact of making Gio face extra hitters and get extra outs is substantial. But the composure issue is on Gio.

by ohtobe21likehuston on Jun 24, 2009 9:58 PM PDT up reply actions  

It seems to me like his fastball often comes in to righties

right into their swing. If he had command of a more traditional tailing fastball it would help a lot. Well let’s face it – command of anything would be a nice start. He’s as wild in the strike zone as he is outside of it.

I know he's young

but I have never been impressed with his stuff. He has no control. Has that issue of composure we talked about above.

When he was up here last time he would have hitters foul off half a dozen or more pitches. I really don’t think he will ever be any good. At least not the ceiling the other 4 have.

I think he will end up being trade bait.

Can attest to that

Look Outman admitted he pitched hurt even before this incident. This is the problem with “young pitchers”, they don’t want to lose their spot!! Its the coaching staffs fault on this cause as soon as outman was complaining they should’ve had the MRI done. I can bet you that the MRI hasn’t been done yet and they have talked him into rehabbing it. Not good but like I said earlier these are young pitchers and will do whatever they have to save their spot.

Gio might have been confused by Cabrera being late to cover

on the comebacker, but his job is to throw it over the bag and the middle infielder’s job is to be there. It’s pretty inexcusable for a pitcher to throw the ball away there when all he needs to do is throw the ball over the second base bag.

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

No - it was mostly offline (towards 1B).

Actually watching the replay it could have been caught

However I wouldn’t “expect” it to be caught.

I remedy that by not watching.

Even more, I honestly haven’t felt a pang of wanting to “see” the moment since Marco’s base-clearing double. It’ll come back I’m sure, just don’t know when.

Jose Canseco

Jose is a clown- plain and simple.

I’m happy for what he gave Oakland but he is not good at being a human being.

True.

But he wasn’t real good at it at the time, either.

It is not [Hawk Harrelson's] fault that his genius goes unappreciated by uncultured louts like you. -Nick

sad's the right word.

poor Jose. It’s almost like he has no life skills at all.

But Jose is RIGHT

Biggest jackass ever, but what is Carney talking about? Jose didn’t ruin anyone’s life! THE PLAYERS WHO TOOK STEROIDS MADE THAT CHOICE! Jose didn’t force anyone to do it; he simply ratted them out. It makes him a bad guy, sure, but doesn’t make them an innocent victim.
