that last ball to jeter (right before strike 3)
did it make an S shape as it traveled to the plate??? like that late break went in a TOTALLY different direction than the pitch was falling…?
don't care if i ever get back.
I'm not saying Mark McGwire didn't do a lot of good as a hitter
But good God, would I never ever let him within a mile of my swing.

I'm not criticizing Jeter
The guy is a good player. His national reputation is greatly enhanced by playing in New York. If he played just about anywhere else, he wouldn’t be lauded the way he is.
I'd argue his defensive shortcomings wouldn't be as much of an issue.
People love to hate him and his defence is the only place they can question his game. If he was out of the spotlight, say in KC people would be saying “hey, who’s this incredible hitter that plays SS for the Royals?”

There's the OC we know and loathe
"If Vin Mazzaro comes anywhere near me with shaving cream he’s gonna be coming away with a bloody stump" – Dallas Braden
Wow, they should have been able to get Raj there.
Nico: Okay. We have twelve hours to make a really big pickle.
Sabthia has been clubbed by the worst offensive team in the league, so...
…Mazzaro giving up four to the best offensive team ain’t so bad…unless the Yankees score 27 more runs.
My question is, why can’t the A’s swing at 3-0 pitches? Hell, they’re out-stealing the Angels lately, why can’t they alter their batting habits on 3-0? If the idea of batting patience is to get the best pitch to drive, what pitch is most likely to be the most “drivable,” if that is a word? Mark Texieria, a superb hitter, swings 3-0, so why wouldn’t lesser hitters swing at the most “drivable” pitch they’re likely to get? This has been discussed before, but I have never heard a reasonable answer.
"In the first 30 minutes at the table, if you can't spot the sucker, then you are the sucker."
I was just thinking the same thing
3-0 and 3-1 they just watch the pitch go by.
My favorite team is a fucking embarrassment to all true A's fans and they make me sick to my stomach on an almost daily fucking basis. But being a true fan, I will ride this pathetic bunch of losers out and hope that they get better in 2010
I hesitate to say we've been
“clubbing” CC, we’ve gotten some timely hits, but that doesn’t rate very highly as a clubbing.

Can't say I agree. Part of developing young pitching
is letting them work out of 4th/5th inning jams. I think until he hit 100 pitches, it made sense to leave Mazzaro out there.
