One of my 5 Top Homers Ever was a tomahawk
Ben Grieve, hit the base of the light tower in right at the old Detroit stadium.
I got a really really good moment out of Grieve ca.2001-2002?
I was in Seattle for an “Athletics versus Mariners” weekend for the whole family. The big event was Saturday or Sunday, but the day before, my brother (an intense Mariners fan) said, let’s go see the game going on today, just you and me."
We bought some “streetside” tickets for very cheap (game had started) and watched the first few innings from our seats. Then my brother proposed a walk around to take in all the new stadium nooks and crannies. We got out to the bullpen area, just in time to see the arrival of a Ben Grieve home run ball. It was like watching a $100-bill float to your face, out of the breezy trees. Ah! That HR was so sweet!! And my brother was suitably disgust, irritated, angry…it was great!!
Thanks, Ben Grieve!

Seriously, STOP SAYING HE WASN’T GOOD.

That was a BAD decision to hold Hairston
with Sweeney on deck and Swisher’s arm very suspect.
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
Oh it's Everidge. Well..

and now its sweeney.
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.
Sort of..LOL

Well, they're walking him to face Sweeney with the bases loaded

I think you have to challenge Swisher there

I do? Can I email him?

If these two ABs tonight don't convince the A's
that Sweeney is a platoon player, I don’t know what will.

If Cros had gotten hurt one day earlier, I wonder if the A's would have DL'ed him and kept Cunningham
And I wonder if they would have bothered telling either of them.

Steverson might have said something vaguely
in the direction of the bathroom in case one of them was in there.

it was pretty shallow, probably the right call to hold him but I'm never against a play at the plate
I think when in doubt, make them make the play
The ONLY thing that I’d say would get Gallego “off the hook” is that Hairston can’t run 100% right now. All things being equal, though, knowing you’re at the bottom of the order, you have to send him against a weak arm like Swisher’s.

Probably
He was bragging on Silver and Black “Pride” that he has an alter-ego, since (I guess) OakFoSho got himself bANned here.
