Open Thread: Game 152 - A's vs. Rangers
Texas Rangers at Oakland Athletics, Sep 23, 2009 7:05 PM PDT
It's a sad day when I no longer have to look at the previous game threads to figure out what number game we are on; I can just count backwards on my player calendar to arrive at the correct number. After tonight, there will be ten games left in the 2009 season--a disappointment to many of us, but the A's are showing some life in September. If you'd like to know if that matters for 2010, see the thread below.
Tonight's game will feature Clay Mortensen, who will be looking for his third win in a row. He will be opposed by RHP Tommy Hunter.
You have to wonder about today's A's MLB article, in which Urban takes great pains to highlight how Patterson is the lead candidate for replacing Hairston for the remainder of the season. This quote:
Eric Patterson spent most of the season proving that he's more than ready for the challenge of regular playing time in the big leagues.
With the most recent injury to A's outfielder Scott Hairston, Patterson figures to get it.
just BEGS the question: WHY does Patterson figure to get it? Isn't Buck better than Patterson? Why isn't anyone talking about this? Why isn't Buck even mentioned?
I am entirely too curious for my own good, 'cause it's driving me crazy.
Tonight's lineups:
LET'S GO OAKLAND!

Buck?
Did the A’s trade for John Buck? I thought he was a catcher. That’s probably why he isn’t mentioned as an outfielder.

Neither Buck or Patterson are worthy of a roster spot IMO
I guess you can say that one is less worse than the other. Buck is better but his mini-legend has grown beyond his actual worth.

According to baseball-reference.com’s Adam Kennedy stats page, the league average 3B fielding % is .959. So he’s pretty average there, though his range factor is a little low.

by bobnothing on Sep 23, 2009 7:19 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
I think Kennedy's problem (along with all the other ones)
is that he doesn’t charge those balls — he’d be better off to get an in-between hop with forward momentum followed by a shorter throw than to lay back, let the ball play him, and get a later hop for a longer throw.
Or he could just become Eric Chavez in his prime.

The orange tannins of the blue moon bring out the spammy-ness...


Do oranges have tannins?
"Get heavy!" - Kotsay
by OaklandInvader on Sep 23, 2009 8:27 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
And to answer my own question (from wiki) . . .
Beer
In addition to the alpha acids extracted from hops to provide bitterness in beer, tannins are also present as well. In most cases, the presence of tannins is considered a flaw. However, in some styles the presence of this astringency is acceptable or even desired, as, for example, in a Flanders red ale.
Citrus, fruit juices
Although citrus fruits do not themselves contain tannins, orange-colored juices often contain food dyes with tannins. Apple juice, grape juices and berry juices are all high in tannins. Sometimes tannins are even added to juices and ciders to create a more astringent feel to the taste.
