Open Thread: Game 29 - A's vs. Rangers (2)

PrintCahill's been dancing with danger as he keeps leaving pitches up while walking other batters at will, but he had completed three innings without allowing a run. The A's meanwhile, got a leadoff single and ground rule double, and actually made two outs that scored two runs.
2-0 A's; going to the bottom of the third!

I know! Gus was an awesome character.
The whole serial killer thing was a little far-fetched. But Gus did rock. And so did that older newspaper editor. I forget his name, but he just had hilarious line after hilarious line.

Barton
Is just a damn good baseball player
Jack "The Must, Just has no Rust, ain't no Bust, after him the ladies Lust, turns pitchers into Dust, likes his pizza with no Crust" Cust
He's a damn good hitter
his defense is still awful, I dont care what mikev says.
I love him as a hitter though. His minor league long term scouting report of “future DH” still stands true though.

I think we should have Chavez bunt,
strictly to underscore how silly it is to have him at DH.

He should go up there right handed

He needs to retire.

Please DFA Chavez!

Wow what a great play by Young
But Smoak couldn’t pick it, and it rolled to the stands, Rosales to third
Hey, like, E-pat hit a homer?

Replace Chavez as DH???
Certainly, Chavez is not justifying his existence as DH. There are at least 2 alternatives in the current A’s system. Cust could be given another chance to prove his worth in the remainder of the 1st half of the season. If he fails that test, then Carter could be given the opportunity to demonstrate his hitting prowess at the major league level in the 2nd half of the season. Any other suggestions???
