Open Thread: Game 44 - A's vs. Giants

PrintUNICORN!!!!!! Mark Ellis is back, Eric Chavez is on the DL with a bulging something-or-other, Coco Crisp is still healthy, and Gio Gonzalez tries to keep the momentum going against hard-luck hard-throwing Matt Cain.
Kevin Koooooooooooooooooooomanoff has the day off and Adam Rosales makes his first attempt to handle 3B more gracefully than his predecessors, Marco Scutaro and Adam Kennedy, could do.

http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2010/05/eric-chavez-considering-retirement.html
Though their statementt about him on the 60-day is incorrect.
http://athleticsforlife.net/
here are the tweets
from Joe Stiglich that come out of his conversation with Chavvy.
Chavvy said in the winter that another serious injury would make him decide to retire. But it’s not clear that this is considered “serious”.
A few weeks ago Chavvy commented (I think to Slusser) that he might do what Mulder did, if he felt he could not perform at a high enough level. But he added that he was still “warming up.”
"Warming up"?
So if he’s like Duchscherer he just got injured again.
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
Ellis is the perfect "6" spot lineup hitter!!!
Hopefully Cust can walk and Mark will get his RBI’s…
Maybe if Chavy’s neck wasn’t so bad, he could have played at 3B to give Kooz a day off?
Every man for himself...
Minus Rosales for Kouz....I bet we see this starting 9 a lot
I really hope so.
Cust & Davis for the win!!!
I miss Chad God
I would really love to see Rosales over Kooz.

I want Kooz to get a longer look, but at the same time I don’t mind Rosales playing everyday just in different spots; SS, 2B, 3B, OF
Every man for himself...
I'd rather not see Rosales playing everyday
I think he’s going to come down to earth (if he isn’t already). I really like him as the backup, but nothing more.

Rosales. Love the guy, but
Kouz is far, far better defensively at 3B and provides some power — of which the A’s have a dearth.

I know it sounds dumb
but I’m a little bummed about Chavy. Was hoping he’d be OK this year.
Hopefully a nice little win today will be in order!

that I can see is that if you are a good pitcher, you have less chance of getting run support only because, by your place in the rotation, you are slightly more likely to be facing another good pitcher.

Wait, hang about
the Giants have put a strong fielding, weak hitting back up infielder as their DH. But are happy having Huff (and to a lesser extent, Sandoval) playing in the field?

Yeah, I mean, what are they thinking
Didn’t they learn from us and the Mariners? You’re supposed to put Bad fielding, Bad hitting guys as the DH!
I mean, respect to the Giants for fielding a team dominated by fat guys
but it doesn’t take a genius to work out who you put at DH, no?
Though, Bochy does make Geren look like a charismatic genius

Hey everybody
Had a rather good day so far – first sunny day in Stuttgart this year, with temperature creeping toward 70, two out three ballet pieces I just saw were good to great – on the other hand Bayern is loosing in CL finals.
So A’s winning will definitely tip the day towards being a great one.
