Open Thread: Game 75 - A's vs. Tigers

Detroit Tigers at Oakland Athletics, Jun 29, 2009 7:05 PM PDT
After a terrible miserable awful little league forgetable week at home, where the A's won exactly one game, the homestand will close with a three-game series against the Detroit Tigers (who swept the last time they faced the A's) starting tonight. Brett Anderson, fresh off an extended break, will be matched up against a great rookie pitcher in Rick Porcello, who has already collected a win against the A's so far this season. Porcello has an 8-4 record with a 3.55 ERA in 2009, and he's only twenty.
Interleague play is over, so the A's are now back on the all-AL, all-the-time schedule, and if they have any hope left on the 2009 season, things had better start to turn around for the green and gold. Tonight's match-up seems like an unlikely way to start a winning streak, but that's what we're hoping for.
This is probably the best lineup we have, so let's see if it can produce a win for the boys.
LET'S GO OAK-LAND!

He'll punish Buck by putting him in the starting lineup
and then benching him for not being ready for his first at bat.

(I’ve found my taste in ass is generally out of sync with that of the mainstream commenters anyway. I inclined more toward the Sir Mix-a-Lot view….)

I'm surprised at this, you must be familiar with how the A's medical staff
operates at this point. He’ll throw hard in the first few innings as he’s been told to just ‘fight through’ the pain, then he won’t come out for the 4th. We then find out the next day he’s scheduled to visit Dr Death (Andrews is it?) for an MRI, and three days later he’s DL’ed scheduled for some sort of invasive, season ending surgery.
