Open Thread: Game 3 - Seattle Mariners at Oakland Athletics (4)

The A's added a run on a rare Ichiro error in the fourth, but the Mariners added two of their own against Duke in the fifth. We go to the bottom of the fifth; A's playing from behind again. 4-3 M's.

I don’t want him holding it in. Healthier to let it out.

That was Geren's first blunder of the season, IMO

I thought it was pretty clear Duke should have been pulled after the Lopez single.

I think they probably didn't want Ross to have to debut

facing Bradley and Griffey, which is fine. After that, should have been Ross.

Definitely.

Should have been pulled. Nice DP, though. (If that;s any consolation.)

yeah, on the first batter he's faced in a real game.

the fact that it’s rob johnson is ultimately extraneous.

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."

Was that for Bucks fly ball, Cliff coming up, or something else?
