PrintCahiil was excellent through 5, but things fell apart quickly in the sixth. Thanks to 2 homeruns, Boston has taken the lead after the A's failed to add to their lone run. 4-1 Boston; going to the seventh.

"If Vin Mazzaro comes anywhere near me with shaving cream he’s gonna be coming away with a bloody stump" – Dallas Braden
The only bit of good news for me today
My broken rib from the accident 5 days ago has virtually no pain whatsoever in it
My shoulder still clicks and kinda wants to go out of joint but I have twice to movement in it without pain which isn’t saying much because I can only hold my arm (elbow) away from the shoulder at like a 45 degree angle.
The bad news is I have a bill for $2053 and another couple coming and in hindsight, I should have not gone to the emergency room and just sucked it up and hoped like hell nothing was too bad.
The moral of this story is do not ride a bicycle at less than like 2 miles an hour when your cell phone is ringing unless you come to a stop before answering it.
OK, U Pricks, U better score.
Good start
That’s a lot of money.

Cahill excellent through five

Missing Travis Buck
Well since this game is nothing to look at anymore I just wanted to interject how watching the A’s isn’t nearly as enjoyable without Buck – he is dead sexy! C’mon girls, you’re with me on this right? He’s HOT and sometimes you need a reason to watch the game….Buck me Travis, I miss you!

What happened to "never assume the DP"?
"And Julio Franco is batting right-handed!" -- Wayne Hagin, A's radio play-by-play, mid-80s
That's when the error is on the first out of a would-be DP
You can rule an error on a 6-4-3 if the 1B drops the throw.
I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal
But you also can't assume it on the throw
That is, if the 2B throws it 5 feet wide of 1B and the 1B comes off to get the throw, they never give an error.
But that makes sense about the 1B dropping it, and Green missing the bag in this case.

alaska A residing in northern Idaho.
Not criticizing this particular move, but just interesting
that with 2nd/3rd nobody out, and 2nd/3rd one out, down 4-3 in the 7th, Geren played the infield back, while in New York, 2nd/3rd nobody out, 0-0 in the 2nd inning, he brought the infield in (which I thought was unbelievably stupid).
I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal
I was noticing that the infield was back
Kind of an odd choice there. Maybe he was worried about the 2nd run scoring on an easy single.

don't see
how the manager keeps his job, there is NO WAY Cabrera doesn’t steal second because Papelbon, as good as he is, is slower to the plate than my grandma is when we play 2-on-2 basketball.
At some point there has to be some sort of realism setting in, that this team is bad and worse for the manager’s inefficacy, and something has to change or else it just isn’t serious, and we should all be embarrassed by that fact.

But we didn't get Cabrera to be our big power guy.
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.
Matt Holliday against good AL pitching
makes him and Scott Boras very unhappy. He has been exposed as being a very average player to date.
I'm with y'all --
if you have to weigh the odds of Cabrera successfully stealing second and Suzuki singling against Suzuki getting an XBH against a no-doubles defense or both Suzuki and Cust getting hits, you go for the SB.
And I cannot believe Hairston’s ball was caught. Looked gone off the bat and like it would at least be off the wall — even the weather hates the A’s.
I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal

You guys are fun, does this group meet up at A’s games? I usually like to sit in right field (for reasons you all know). My favorite area is somewhere between 1st and right.
Only to be sent down or benched. Meh.
We DO meet up. In fact, there will be an AN day coming up, 8/22. Or so I’ve heard.
Geren
is a terrible manager. Does nothing to help this team have a chance. Wrong pitcher wrong time, overmatched by every manager in the league
Well, at least FP just asked about it ... wondered why Davis wasn't p'running
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.
Cust
I love him, love his story, think he is probably a nice and humble human being and is definitely a likable player whom I want to succeed, but he probably shouldn’t have tried such a radical shift in his 2-strike approach over last winter without at least consulting the team, or someone other than his dad at ballcamp there.
What has happened is he failed to anticipate the adjustments that have clearly been made to his grand adjustment, and it doesn’t look so good… if hitting’s a puzzle I’d say that he looks kind of solved, as it were.
Hey, I just bought the team from Lew Wolff... who wants to play third?
I think people fall in love with the home run power
and don’t take everything else into account.
Or fall out of love with the strikeout
and don’t take everything else into account.
Give me my .375 OBP guy back and I’m a happy camper. Incidentally, were it not for Cust our HR leader would have 11 while hitting around the Mendoza line, while our next best HR hitter would have 8 — none since June 5th.
I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal
the thing with Cust seems to be
That you get excellent pitch recognition out of the pitcher’s hand, but that because of the tenuousness of the swing and how violent it often is mechanically, the results just don’t bear out the potential somehow.
The winter work he did to shorten up w/ two strikes was great for a while, until the league adjusted as the coaching staffs around are paid to do. It looks to me like he is in a downward spiral because now guys have his ass with 2 strikes because they know he isn’t gonna swing for the BART station anymore, so they can load up like Paps did there deep in a count and not worry about getting taken out like before (pre-2009 Cust).
