PrintOakland Athletics at Seattle Mariners, Oct 3, 2010 1:10 PM PDT
Europe - The Final Countdown (via EuropeVEVO)
We are down to the last game of the year. I think it is only appropriate that Dallas Braden is taking the hill in an effort to give the A's their first season at .500, or better, since the magical playoff season of 2006. After all, the best moment in recent franchise history was Mr. Braden's perfecto on Mother's Day.
The M's counter with Ryan Rowland-Smith, who is probably pitching in an attempt to avoid being non tendered.
Back to Braden, besides his perfecto.... Which moment, from the past season sticks out to you and why? Is it Coco Crisp's broken pinky? The first or the second? Brett Anderson's two DL stints? Trogdor burninatin' Safeco Field? Something else?
Back to today, the lineups:

I would have put Larish at 1B and Donaldson at C
but then again I can make a better lineup than Geren, as can pretty much every human on earth.
Well, yeah, I don't get Suzuki playing every damn day at this point either

Detroit up 3-2 in the 7th
By my figuring, if Detroit wins, the A’s can get no worse than the 15th pick (not counting compensation for unsigned picks this year) in the draft. This means their pick is protected.
If Detroit loses, the A’s need to lose. Sooo Go Detroit!

With the Comp picks, the 15th draft slot would become the 18th pick in the first round
If the A’s lost and the Angels, Marlins, and Dodgers all win, the A’s would get the 12th draft slot (14th pick in the first round), but I would rather the A’s get the .500 record.

I wasn't sure how many comp picks there were, but to be clear, the A's pick is protected

Oh and what stands out the most
Pennington’s plays, Barton’s splits, Ellis being Ellis, Koooooooooouz, Sweeney’s one whole home run, Coco’s over the wall catches, Dallas’ interviews and meeting something like 15 of these guys was fun.
It’s been a good season..at least I think so :)

Ryan Rowland-Smith, by the way,
was the single worst starting pitcher in all of baseball this year. Until he got demoted.
His WAR is -3.7 or something like that

The funny thing is, before this year, his career resembled Dallas Braden's.

If we sign a big free agent (ones that are classified as "A-type")
our first-round pick goes to the team that lost that free agent. But, if we finish in the bottom half of the total standings (in other words, if our draft pick is #1-#15), we get to keep it.
so no penalty for signing Carl Crawford.

"Rollins helps them with the small ball when he's not in the lineup." - Joe Morgan
Seriously.
He’s a decent hitter (which is excellent by catcher’s standards) when he’s not popping up every damn time.
his stats are pretty bad, but not as bad as I thought from watching
KURT: OBP, H, TB, SLG, OPS: .302, 118, 209, .358, .660
for reference, here’s Cliffie: .321, 127, 237, .371, .692
That’s right: Cliff has a higher SLG than Kurt, due to lots of 2B and 3B.
Move Kurt down in the order and tell him his job is to get hits, not homers, please.
what’s that, Bob, you say you can’t hear me?

Has Carter been not a complete disgrace in LF?
Not a complete disgrace,
but he muffed one pretty badly yesterday.

or was 40,000 people (including Steve Perry) singing “Don’t Stop Believing” in unison in the 7th inning of the Giants/Padres game yesterday the single douchiest moment by a crowd in professional sports history.
Actually I think it sounds rather sweet

Yeah, I'm on board with that.

he said the giants team was a team of mercenaries and not a real team...of course the pads got ludwick and tejada too

Giants are a very depersonalised team when you think about it
It seems like they don’t have any true everyday starters except Posey and I guess Sandoval, rest of the guys are just pulled out of the hat, and most of them have been acquired in last 12 or so.

Angels are leading Texas, top 9. If they win and we lose today, we’ll be tied for 2nd place in the AL west.

Too many games to pay attention to.

Your poem here.
If his facial hair is ugly.
And since he no longer has his nicely trimmed beard, I might have to call it ugly. He’s just got that little chin thing again, which I don’t like very much.
Okay, my vote is ugly. It looked much better before.
The sides just look like
excessively stubbly, which isn’t so bad, but there seems to be something weird going on in the front.
