Open Thread: Spring Training - A's vs. Giants!
by baseballgirl on Mar 17, 2010 12:19 PM PDT
Email
PrintWelcome to the Anderson vs. Zito game thread; the one where your 2010 Oakland Athletics take on the San Francisco Giants! I saw the Giants play the Rangers on Monday night; Harden pitched. I didn't have a chance to see Anderson; though I saw Mazzaro, Cahill, Gonzalez and sort of Sheets. I'm guessing Sheets is better than he was on Monday. For what it's worth, I saw Posey play both games that I watched in person, and I was impressed.
Today's lineups:
Giants
Torres, CF
Renteria, SS
Sandoval, 3B
Huff, 1B
DeRosa, LF
Molina, C
Uribe, 2B
Posey, DH
Schierholtz, RF
Your 2010 Oakland Athletics:
Davis, CF
Ellis, 2B
Suzuki, C
Kouzmanoff, 3B
Chavez, 1B
Cust, DH
Sweeney, RF
Buck, LF
Pennington, SS
This could be shades of Opening Day, although I believe that Barton is missing and I think Gross and Patterson will make the team ahead of Buck (and I don't agree), but I like Davis' return to CF. I think they're letting us know that Coco isn't yet ready to play.
Let's go Oak-land!

I saw quite a bit of the College World Series in 2008
mainly to see Jemile Weeks, who the A’s had just drafted (or was it 2007?) Anyway, many first round choices were playing in that series. But the player who most impressed me was Buster Posey.

I’m workign at home so I made a steak with spinach, onions, pecans, and kalamata olives in a basil and red wine sauce
I think I had a taco with those two ingredients once in Mexico

You used to be able to get cesos burritos in some of the taquerias in the Mission
I don’t know if mad-cow disease has made them take that item off the menu, though.

My ankle went *pop* during my 7:00 soccer game Friday night.
I finished the game, taped it up, took 4 motrin and drank a beer, and then played my 9:00 game.
Coached Little League on Saturday morning, then my kid’s 7th birthday party Saturday afternoon.
Then I played again Sunday morning, but just goalie so I didn’t really have to run. I skipped my 9pm game though.

Then I figure after a few more days, if it's still hurt and I miss more games
Then the team can just DL me retroactively, while having to have played short a person for about a week or so.

Kilby is playing himself

He does not impress one bit IMO. And that goes back to last season after his opposition must have looked at video and figured him out.
He doesn't have great "stuff"
He’s mostly deception, so if his delivery gets figured out he’s probably not long for the majors.

Somebody should platoon with Cust
He really has no business starting against LHP at this point.
hey y'all
what’d i miss? Did Zito play some guitar on the mound? Did Pablo Sandoval eat the stadium? I just woke up, fill me in and fill me up =)
Hey, I just bought the team from Lew Wolff... who wants to play third?

bad enough that KTRB breaks into the post-game show and Townsend
– their employee – with commercials and announcements, but to do that to an A’s game is really bad….will this continue for the next decade of the contract between KTRB and the A’s?

k...scared me there for a minute ;)
What is both surprising and delightful is that spectators are allowed, and even expected, to join in the vocal part of the game....

And show up halfway through the year. That annoys me. Retire, stay playing, who cares but pick one.

So the Sharks crap the bed 8-2 last night in Dallas (most goals surrendered since getting stomped by Phoenix in ‘07). Today, the A’s author a late collapse vs the Giants to drop a 6-1 losing decision. UGH.
Must find a happy place…

"Bobby Crosby at third is a bit of an adventure. And not like, here’s some hidden treasure, what fun. More like, gah! poison ants!" --alea iacta est
more than likely buck will be at AAA
this is my idea for the line up
cf-crisp
lf-davis
3b-kouzmanoff
dh-cust
1b-fox
c-suzuki
2b-ellis
rf-sweeney
ss-pennington
bench-chavez,powell,rosales and gross
buck and barton will prob start the year at AAA,and more than likely one will be traded with hopefully patterson aswell.fox i thinks is the better solution for 1st base while carter gets ready,he hits for more power than barton,foxs’ avg aint nothin special but he can play both 1st&3rd corner outfield and catcher
