Manuel's "strategy" is interesting
Using his relievers who can’t pitch many innings earlier in the game, so he has SP guys who can pitch multiples later in the game if the game goes into extras, while Maddon is using SPs the whole way. And maximizing the number of pitchers who pitch in the game.

The whole thing is pretty stupid.
Especially now that there’s interleague play, the team with the better record should get home field.
(And mlb’s excuse that this would make it harder to plan ahead is really lame. Now, the world series could start in either of two cities once the LCS’s begin. Under the other scenario it would be any of three. Not a big difference.)

Verlander really should be on the team, but Buehrle prevents that.
I think Papelbon deserves it. ERA under 2. How Brian Fuentes got on the team is beyond me. An all-star closer should not have an ERA over 3. I think that should be written into the rulebook.
The Wakefield pick is incredibly horrifically bad. Guys with career ERAs over 4 do not deserve lifetime achievement awards. That is another thing that should be written into the rulebook.

To be honest, I felt Giambi showed some important leadership
I give it to him.

Give him some credit....
He didn’t ground out to the right side of the infield at all in this game.

I correctly predicted that a Ray would win MVP in an American League victory.

LOL @ticketservices twitter:
American League puts another W on the board. But no Andrew Bailey. Oh well, we can see Bailey pitch 4 times a week in Oakland.

The All-Star MVP gets to be the leadoff hitter in Game 1 of the World Series, no?

Chad Pennington to A's!!
Keith Lieppman, the A’s longtime director of player development, thinks Daric Barton should get another shot. "He’s regained his stroke at Sacramento and looks like the hitter we thought he’d be," said Lieppman in a telephone conversation, "and he’s developed power, which he didn’t have before. He’s hit five home runs in just a few games since he came back to Sacramento."
By next year, Chris Carter, one of two A’s farm hands who played in the Sunday Futures game (Jemile Weeks was the other), should be ready for his shot.
"He struck out too many times last year [156 in 137 games]," said Lieppman. "He’s working on getting his strikeouts down and making more contact."
Lieppman likes outfielders Travis Buck and Aaron Cunningham, both of whom have been up with the A’s but are in Sacramento now. He thinks Josh Donaldson, now at Midlands, has a shot in the near future. "We signed him as a third baseman and converted him to catcher, but with Kurt Suzuki playing so well, we’ll probably shift him back to third."
The A’s likely will need a shortstop next year because Orlando Cabrera probably won’t return. Chad Pennington is the most likely candidate, though he probably won’t be up until September. Adrian Cardenas, who was promoted to Sacramento after hitting .350 at Midland, can play anywhere on the infield but is probably not good enough to play shortstop every day. Eric Patterson is another versatile player. "We see him as a Chone Figgins type," Lieppman said.

As players who don't exist go, Chad Pennington is one of my faves!
Cliff Pennington.

Chad Pennington does exist. He's the quarterback of the Miami Dolphins
Yes, he can play third. But no, we cannot afford him.

I don't know I've seen
that guy’s arm I don’t know if Chad can make the throw from third to first without a couple of bounces.
