Open Thread: A's/2 vs. Cubs

So I've seen Ben Sheets pitch; I just haven't seen him get anyone out. Today, Sheets makes his next attempt at going 0.1 IP or more, trying to avoid a repeat of last Monday's "Ben Sheets pitched to 10 batters in the 1st." Half the A's squad, including Ryan Sweeney, Eric Chavez, and Kevin Kouzmanoff, is in Goodyear taking on the Indians, while Sheets and the other half host the Cubs in Phoenix with this lineup (courtesy of Susan Slusser, who probably stole them from RotoWorld and corrected the spelling):
Patterson CF
Pennington SS
Ellis 2B
Suzuki C
Barton 1B
Cust DH
Gross LF
Buck RF
Petit 3B
Sheets P
One practical note. With Sheets on track to start Opening Night, if you look at Justin Duchscherer's schedule it looks like he is poised to start the A's-Giants game on Saturday, April 3rd (which gets him 3 exhibition starts) and then to slot in as Oakland's #4 starter in the rotation. So if you like order, as far as I can tell the initial rotation is shaping up to look like this:
Sheets
Anderson
Braden
Duchscherer
Cahill or Gio ... ?
EDIT: Actually, if Duke stays strictly on an every 5th day regimen beginning Monday, he would go in the #2 slot on April 6th, so that's also a possibility.
Finally, with the Mariners' Cliff Lee and the Rangers' Tommy Hunter already hurting, remember ... it's not just the A's!

Mmmm, I'm not sure but I think I heard something about

It's possible -- we'll see who goes tomorrow

appears to be:
Sheets
Braden
Duchscherer
Anderson
Cahill/Gio

SEAWOLF! REPRESENT! SSU:
ARCATA, Calif- Despite a fierce comeback attempt in the final minutes, including 13 points by sophomore Steven Pratt in the final 5:46, Sonoma State couldn’t quite make up for a double-digit deficit late in the second half as the Seawolves fell to host Humboldt State, 72-68, in the opening round of the California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) Championship Tournament at Arcata on Tuesday night. Sonoma State, seeded seventh in the conference tournament, ends its season with a 11-17 record, after finishing in a three-way tie for sixth place in the CCAA standings at 10-12 last weekend.

As was my friend last night
Cardenas will feel better about his robbing.
My friend was walking back to his place in Anaheim when 4 gangbangers asked him for his money. They then beat the shit out of him, stomping on him. He has two black eyes, a broken nose, a broken arm and many sore ribs. A lady called the cops and he said about 10 cop cars came and they rounded up the sacks of shit that beat him and he was able to identify the ringleader. He was taken to hospital by ambulance and got out this morning at 6:30 a.m. He only lost about 80 bucks but did lose his wallet and all his ID.
They took DNA from him and said they were going to nail these bastards to the wall.
Shit
Does your friend have insurance? Glad he’s not still in the hospital (though esp if he’s not insured that doesn’t mean he shouldn’t be in the hospital).
"And Julio Franco is batting right-handed!" -- Wayne Hagin, A's radio play-by-play, mid-80s
Holy crap.
Terrible news about the mugging, but at least they arrested the assholes and identified them.
Taken down with hearts alive, our hearts alive.
He's a Vet and wanted them to take him to the VA
but the paramedics suggested he go to Anaheim as they thought he could have internal injuries.
The assholes had their white T shirts on and shaved heads etc etc. They were latino’s
Hey Tm,
how old was your friend? I don’t think I ever pictured Anaheim being tough at all….are there bad parts, I take it?

Anaheim's really not that nice of a place.
The area around Disneyland and I-5 is, of course, great, but go west just five or six blocks and it’s pretty terrible.

If you go five or six blocks west of Disney World
and you run into the Omni. I just stayed there.
Five or six blocks east and it’s the Convention Center, where i’ll be in about three weeks for the ISA.

Eh
My reach was Marquette in the final four. I knew they could get bounced in the first round since Washington matched up well with them. They blew a 13-point lead in the second half and Washington won. I need some favorites to fall so I can make up ground in my league. Villanova losing was good because some people in my league had them going deep. I’d like for Butler to fall right here to Murray State. Duke losing would be awesome for a few reasons. Kansas losing would be awesome because most people in my league picked them to win and I opted for Syracuse. The deeper Tennessee goes, the better for me. I had them beating both Georgetown and Ohio State while nobody else in my league thought they’d win two games.
In my league of 10 people, I’m third with 24 correct picks. The other two in front of me made 25 correct picks. In terms of points possible, I’m further down because of Marquette’s early loss. I can make up ground if teams like Kansas, Duke and Butler lose.

NCAA Tournament
It’s very tough to predict. It’s all about matchups and guessing right, I think. I thought Marquette, a sixth-seeded team, could go all the way to the finals based on who they were matched up against and who was in their region.
I’ll be happy with a finish in the top three. Only one other person in my group watches as much college basketball as I do and he’s one of the two people in front of me. The other is someone that basically just picked all the favorites in just about everything. That’s why I need Butler, Duke, Kentucky and Kansas to fall in the second round.

hot peppers are much more extreme
than mushy centrist kraut.

Don't you make enough money to get a Brazilian mail order bride?
You can get one with an innie, or one with an outie.

Bloomie's doppelganger recently had a 4 walk game in my MLB 2005 game...
he’s hitting .314 with 4 dingers and a lot of walks platooning at C with Suzuki…

Next year, you'll DH or play first against lefties
Your career potential is 5 stars, so you’ll get a huge stat boost in the offseason.
Of course, for certain considerations, I could go give your numbers against lefties some PED’s right now.

I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal
