Around SBN: Four TCU Football Players Among 17 Arrested In Drug Ring

A'S LEAVE .500 MARK IN THE DUST!!!!

Final Score: A's 4, Angels 2

Granted, today's runs were scored on sacrifice flies and throwing errors, and sure it's, like, March 6th, but a win's a win and it's always nice to be on the sunny side of .500, ain't it? The A's beat the Angels and rose to 2-1 on the season, and I can't help but remember that this occurred 11 months ago only to be followed by tragedy. Yes, I'm available for parties.

Anyhoozleberries, leading Oakland's fierce 8-hit barrage was Coco "one hit for each Co" Crisp. Dallas Braden pitched 2 innings, one for each foot he can feel, and Eric Patterson took a ground ball to the face. See you tomorrow for a game that's supposed to be aired on KTRB. But that's what they told me today, so....

great performance...

…but what is with that delivery? i was at the game today, and was surprised to see how effective he was without using his legs. his stride towards the plate was so short it looked like he was standing straight up. it looks like arm trouble waiting to happen

Tyson Ross delivery

seems to be his biggest knock. It seems to limit his pitch count which may translate to a career as a reliever at some point.

too bad

I was wondering if he would alter it in the minors, but it sounds like he hasn’t.

I suppose a "no spoiler" thread....

isn’t going to work on AN for this event?

In the past

I have dodged the site, well the internet entirely until I watch DVR. That may be the only sure fire way to go about it.

I'm going to listen to the game live

I can’t imagine ignoring the game until Comcast deigns to show it. The right time is more convenient for me today, anyway.

Nice Nico

I’m liking the “one hit for each Co” reference.

Gracias

Perhaps he’ll change his name to Cococo and lead the league in hitting.

What time is today's game?

I know it’s supposed to be televised, and I don’t want to miss it.

The actual game starts at noon

I think. The MLB network is airing the game at four.

I'll take that bet

Leopold Bloom on why he loves Mr. Peter Gammons, his best buddy:
"Peter Gammons systematically ignored and/or ran down the A’s in the pages of Sports Illustrated and The Sporting News for a good ten year stretch in the late seventies and early to mid-eighties. Trust me, the c**ksucker hates our team."

So the game is cancelled.

And to make matters worse, Bobby Crosby is 2-for-2 with a homer, 4 RBI, and 2 runs scored today.

I hope his dad has heartburn and “not so fresh” feeling, though.
