Going to the fourth inning; A's have wasted runners on third all over the place. But they hold a 1-0 lead, and Cahill has been pitching well so far!

So with DeRosa going down...are we getting closer to a deal with the Cards
With Kahil’s “anxiety” issues and their want for a big bat…Do the cards swallow their pride and attempt to make a deal with us at the break? They keep keep Ludy, just give us a haul of prospects….Holliday signs with them after the season or he walks and they get 2 high picks..
O cab going to them in the deal.
Or maybe swing Holliday to the Rockies for Carlos Gonzalez, H. Street and G. Smith…sound about right! Kills me

He has a low strikezone which means you can’t follow the Jeter approach to knuckleballers of ‘if it’s low let it go, if its high let it fly’.

McClellen is actually regarded, by players, as the best balls/strikes ump in the game
Broadcasters hate him because the visual call is so slow, but players say the audible call is prompt and that his strike zone is very consistent.

Shelled that inning by a stud, I like the start very much
Sorry to leave that impression, I agree with you totally, my good man, I should have been precise in referring to that inning.

Why the fuck is he still in Geren???
Solace: Law says he's a fourth OFer
PaulThomas: I think Keith Law is only a fourth analyst

Because Geren is clown shoes.

Clayton Tanner. I have nothing witty to add.

He allowed one hit coming into the inning; stop making excuses.

I was talking about after Ortiz homer
Well, I called it before that, too.

Not surprised at all
Cahill with a major meltdown.
When he makes mistakes they go out of park in a hurry.
WTF is he still in there

is it me
or have the A’s become the Giants of old … no offense and decent/good pitching.
Sugar ... water .... and, of course, purple.

Kinda pissed at Ortiz, too
He hung around a bit too long on that one … he needs to get buzzed next AB.
I needed a team so I wouldn’t turn into one of the eighty million pink hat-wearing Bud Light-drinking mulleted idiots at Fenway.

Cut him some slack he's washed up. He needs to enjoy them while he can.
He needs beaning because of the uniform if anything.

You just hit on the crux of the problem
A’s pitchers: 13 HBP all year (lowest in the league). No brushbacks, no ownership of the inside part of the plate — and when that’s the case, you see a lot of … that.

Eck declared that Cahill does not know how to pitch inside earlier in the game.

Imagine how good he'll be when he learns to do that.

They have taken on the persona of their manager. Oh well, we’ll have to get them tomorrow.
