PrintAN's Fantasy Baseball: Enter now for a chance to compete!
Oh boy, oh boy oh BOY! I haven't had a game thread in way too long! Today, Ben Sheets and the A's take on the Brewers, as the A's try to best their hit total from yesterday (hint: that shouldn't be too hard). Sheets should know the Brewers; he spent his whole career up to this point with them.
Here's the Gameday Link
And here are your lineups:
Brewers
Weeks, 2B
Gomez, C, CF
Braun, LF
Edmonds, RF
Zaun, DH
Kottaras, G, C
Escobar, A, SS
Heether, 3B
Wilson, S, 1B
Your 2010 Oakland Athletics!
Davis, LF
Ellis, 2B
Suzuki, C
Kouzmanoff, 3B
Chavez, 1B !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cust, DH
Buck, RF
Rosales, SS
Patterson, CF
Stay tuned after the game for an AN Exclusive Interview with Ken Pries, the VP of broadcasting and communications.
Let's go Oak-land!

Also, someone was asking about the ST radio schedule yesterday. Here it is for the season (incl. ST).
It'll be nice to see Buck and Chavez

not exactly a confidence builder...
this is straight from the KTRB auto-response email i received after complaining to them about ditching lurie:
We have the Radio Shack model in our studio, which is located in the interior of a buildiing in the city where our signal is not optimum. We have found a “sweet spot” where the reception is clear. If we move the radio up or down, or left or right, even slightly, we lose the station, but it is clear in that one spot. You might also find this kind of solution.

Of course it is Radio Shack
They even hired me back in high school. That being said they must have pretty low standards.

Also, Patterson is C Fielder and Davis is in left?
I’m not sure which worries me more – that Patterson is being considered as a CF, or that they’re trying to give Rajai playing time at LF because Crisp is the presumptive CF

I thought his back problems were career threating
not his shoulder? I guess your right, but a ball hit deep in the whole to his right would be just as hard on his shoulder as a play at 3rd.

I think every part of his body
is career threatening. But the majority of throws from SS should be shorter. From what I’ve heard Chavy say in interviews, he’s just trying to make as few throws as possible. We’ll see what happens. I’m just happy to see him get a hit and not get hurt. Baby steps.

Rajai now officially owns LF
diving catch, two assists. He’s awesome in the field.

Just F everyone's I,
apparently Sheets always has a lousy spring training, even in seasons where he’s gone on to be a healthy ace.
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
I feel like the best pitchers always seem to have lousy springs
Almost like they purposefully don’t show their best stuff, or they use ST to try out the stuff they don’t want to try during the regular season.

Once the season starts I’m behind the team, but in spring I wan’t my guys to make the team :)
hey hey, not so hasty here...
I TOTALLY want him to make the Rivercats, as a 4th starter or long man.

I love Chavy but me neither.
That’s why we only get one of Chavez/Fox. Rosales may not have the bat, but he’ll be the only guy on the roster besides Pennington that can cover at shortstop.
Let's see
He was a natural SS coming up in the minors. Plus it would be really cool. Therefore, I see no reason why he can’t do it.

I was thinking that,
but I guess it’s still spring training. Where “plus it would be really cool” actually is a pretty good reason from where I see it.

Almost all the restaurants in my neighborhood are Korean-owned
British fish&chips, boolgogi burgers, chinese, mexican, japanese
all Korean owned & operated, most with good service, most with good food.
My favorite is the fish & chips place. Molly’s always got some sort of Californian/Korean hybrid special, and she’s an A’s fan.

this pitcher has my last name!
and let me tell you, it’s grand to hear KK p-b-p my pitches.
don't care if i ever get back.
If you had to choose between Chavy and Fox to make the roster, and both are healthy, who would you pick?
I say Chavy no doubt
