She's cool.

She’s mostly famous though because she’s female and glams up well for TV.

I deliberately picked one of the non-glam pictures.

The A's might as well find out now about whether Marshall is a realistic option for 2010

by hisgoodluckcharm on Aug 30, 2009 2:45 PM PDT reply actions

I think that for the good of the team next year

The last two pitchers will not be on the roster.

Marshall has his problems and Casilla has never been the same since he hurt his arm in Cleveland whenever that was.

They have given them every chance. Marshall did not need much of a chance as his AAA #‘s against RHB’s are not good either.

A 2-2 split is certainly better than losing the series, especially against the slegnA.

We actually should have won the first 3.

Would be nice if Texas could close the gap on the slegnA in the last 30 or so and that we can beat the slegnA the last 2 series that we play them.

That might be wishful thinking but it certainly would make us happy if this indeed happens.

Fitting their only run scored on a pickoff error

I will be very happy if the Angels keep Kazmir and Lackey goes somewhere else, preferably the NL.

I think that the Angels infielders will be secretly ecstatic when Lackey leaves

they won’t have to watch him showing them up when they make an error.
