Still a pretty good outing for Brett though, no?

Far be it for me to agree with Bob Geren,

but I like that he left Anderson in. I think Anderson deserved a chance to try to get out of the inning and hope the A’s could rally in the 8th and he was barely at 100 pitches. He just should have pitched Byrd a little more carefully with 1B open, a righty on deck and Wuertz ready. But that’s not Geren’s doing.

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 think it was just Anderson's execution

He left a slider out over the plate — could have been fatigue, but could also have just been “one of those things,” like his mistake to Michael Young on a fat first pitch changeup earlier in the game.

Sorry, big-boned changeup.

You agree with Geren!

When geren finally comes to the mound, he should say

“Mr. Anderson! Surprised to see me?”

Do you know the way to San Jose?

by eastcoasta'sfan on Aug 3, 2009 9:06 PM PDT reply actions  

And Anderson should say...

“Yeah, you’re usually asleep until the 9th at least”

Rivercats update

Sixth inning. Cunningham 3-3. Wallace 1-3. Cardenas 0-3 (that dude really hits a wall every time they promote him, huh?)

by walk off bunt on Aug 3, 2009 9:08 PM PDT reply actions  

Also

I know Swingles is just great and all, but can we really not give Cunningham a real chance? They’ve already decided Buck isn’t long for this league, fine, but Cunningham’s only freaking 23. He could, you know, be a fine regular corner outfielder.

Cunningham is 4 months older than Wallace

He deserves a chance.

Watching the a's offense has been as exciting

as watching paint dry……un-bearable. Anderson does not deserve a loss, or even a ND with his performance tonight.
