Open Thread: Game 157 - A's at Mariners

PrintOakland Athletics at Seattle Mariners, Sep 29, 2009 7:10 PM PDT
As I sit here enjoying my first homemade smoothie (okay, at least I was when I wrote this around 4:30) after buying a blender in an effort to eat a little healthier, the A’s begin their final road series of the season in Seattle with a chance to finish at .500. With a record of 75-81 they’ll have to win their last six and it starts off with a tough one: Trevor Cahill vs. Felix Hernandez.
Unless the A’s use him on Sunday this will be Cahill’s final outing of the season and to his credit he’s had a strong finish. As rough a season as he did have while gaining valuable MLB experience, his last few starts are a positive to build from and take into 2010. Against Seattle Cahill is 0-2 in three starts but he’s only allowed four earned runs in 19 innings.
King Felix is arguably in the Cy Young hunt in the most dominant season of his young career so far. The only time he faced the A’s back in his second start of the season, he allowed five runs in five innings. He stands a good chance of finishing with 18 or 19 wins but his numbers have been great across the board and he passed 200 strikeouts for the first time in a season in his last start. In the month of September he’s 4-0 with a 1.15 ERA, as well.
That’s ending on a strong note, but my favorite for the Cy remains Zack Greinke. He’s been amazing all season but is having an even better September than Hernandez. Justin Verlander and C.C. Sabathia will get some votes and even though Sabathia’s the least deserving of those four, you never know how it’ll go when he plays for the Yankees.
Tonight is also the night when dead animals are being grilled up over at Chez Nico. If you’re not already there it’s probably too late.

eeek! I hate crickets.
No, seriously. I hate crickets. This was my evening: first I had to get a dead cricket out of one washing machine, only to discover that said washer was broken (after it stole a dollar [in all-important quarters] from me). So then I had to get a live cricket out of the other washer. You’d think, since crickets can jump and all, that it would just want to jump out of the washer. But instead it ran around in circles. I tried to get it out using some newspaper, but it kept jumping off the newspaper when I tried to lift it out. Stupid cricket, I’m trying to save you!
… I ended up having to kill it. It was really pathetic. Its wings fluttered in one last futile attempt to escape the washing machine. And then it died. It was actually a pretty sad experience.
Anyway… baseball? What? Let’s win!

So, the afternoon game (for those of us who don't have real jobs)
was Cubs – Pirates.
Talk about an exercise in futility…
I'm now really starting to wonder
why patterson is getting these starts instead of Buck. The whole thing is a tad bit suspicious if you ask me.

Hello all
Not at Chez Nico….woke up from nap at 6:30 and decided I might as well stay on this side of the bay. Sorry to miss all the fun. Hi Poochini!
Twins-Tigers just finished game #2 of a doubleheader. Joe Mauer caught both games. Twins won the first and lost the second (with the tying run on base in the ninth inning) so they are still two games out of the AL Central. Go Twins!

Young led of the top of the 9th
with a 2 hopper (hit hard) about a step-and-a-half to Polanco’s left. He moved over, reached down for it…and it clanked off the heel of his glove and dropped at the ground as he glided past.
Hit.

Interesting note -
the hoi in hoi polloi is greek for “The”. Polloi means “many”, incidentally.
The way we use the phrase nowadays is different, of course, but it still raises a smile round Nothing Towers whenever I see it written
It's the Ancient Greek equivalent of saying "the ATM machine"
"And Julio Franco is batting right-handed!" -- Wayne Hagin, A's radio play-by-play, mid-80s
sort of
I mean, clearly, who knows what Greek words mean apart from people who have too much time on their hands?
ATM, on the otherhand, is a way of taking time of my hands. Uh, maybe.
And MAC (a Delaware Valley regionalism for AMT) stands for "Money Access Center"

is also the Mid-American Conference, which houses my first college, Ball State.

To elaborate
I really like the pavilions and the park-like areas around them. It’d be overplayed if it was commonplace but when it’s unique like that it really stands out well and gives it a bit of a Churchill Downs sort of feel without being too distracting when you’re focused on the game.
The only real criticisms I’ve heard have to do with the location of the bullpens (which I liked – again, unique) and the crowd isn’t really into the games all that much.
It was also nice to have the Embassy Suites right behind center field.

I am not
It’s great – you have to put the lettuce in right at the end, though, so parts of it are soft and parts are crispy
Braised lettuce is also very nice
I’m looking at the recipe in Mastering the Art of French Cooking right now……it calls for a nice long simmering and involves bacon, bacon rind, onions, carrots, beef stock, vermouth, herbs, and butter. Of course you could substitute newspaper for the lettuce and it would still be pretty tasty.

Snead
He plays in a tough conference, so his numbers won’t be as good as Bradford’s or McCoy’s.
Snead completed 18 of 29 passes for 292 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception in his first Bowl start.
He played against Texas Tech, a pretty dang good Big 12 school. If he played in the Big 12, he’d routinely put up those kinds of numbers. Like I said, those rankings of mine were before the season started. Snead has struggled in a few games, so I don’t know yet.
As for Tim Tebow, we still don’t even know if he’ll be drafted as a quarterback. He’s the toughest one to project.

Passer Rating
His passer rating for the last eight or so games in 2008 was just a shade over 91. For a guy with only a handful of career starts under his belt, that’s pretty good. He was 3-3 down the stretch and all six games were against teams that were at least .500 except the game against Kansas City that I didn’t include.
