New Thread: Tears for Nomar
by baseballgirl on Jul 6, 2009 4:58 PM PDT
Email
PrintAfter an emotional standing ovation from the crowd at Fenway (who brought Nomar--and a lot of spectators--to tears), we head into the fourth inning. Despite their baserunners, the A's haven't scored, and Anderson has kept Boston of the board, as well.

Question for you folks
Gameday regularly lists Anderson’s FB at 95+ MPH. I seem to recall the scouting report saying he worked in the upper 80s and lower 90s. Is he really throwing that hard?

looking at some scouting reports
95 is tops, more consistently in the low 90s

Cust finally did something positive.

Outman, fighter of the Hitman, champion of the K, he's a master of scoreless innings and friendship for everyone.

NESN or ESPN? They’re the same thing, except one is for a national audience.

that joe dillon looks alot like scott hairston.
lolol stupid nesn.
What you fail to understand in your joyless myopia is that baseball is the key to life-- the Rosetta Stone, if you will. If you just understood baseball better all your other questions your, your... the, uh... the aliens, the conspiracies they would all, in their way be answered by the baseball gods.
Tying Bob Geren up in a closet before games is appreciated though.

I do not get this
why pinch run for Cust?

Ya I agree.
I mean I’m excited to see Hairston, but, uh, why?

Get him out of the field with a big lead.
Defensive substitution.

Oh wow I completely forgot we let that guy play defense still.

he will get an at bat as well later, so that will be cool.

I assume the general plan was to play Hairston anyway
but he arrived late at the stadium so they didn’t want to rush him.
Halfway into the game he’s ready, so this is a good time to put him in.

Glad someone told Scott
that we’re supposed to stop at 3rd.

Just relax and try to enjoy it.

That ad is only redeemed by the final announcer.
The hyper guy really annoys me, and the other guy is so-so.
But the guy who delivers the final line reminds me of Bleacher Dave. I always imagine it’s really BD and he’s saying “hang ’em high”

At least he’s not joining the walking wounded. I don’t think I could take another one of these kids blowing out an elbow.

Dear Diary,
these past twenty four hours are the probably the most memorable in my A’s following this year – I was up late last night reading the posts on the recent trade – and now we are whipping the hated red sox. What will I do tomorrow?
