Hah.

Losing this team would be a huge failure for this city and an affront to Oakland’s great sports legacy.

When he said "I'd take his life" ...

… I really misconstrued what he meant.

Mort's a starter too

he will prolly go all wonky out of the pen like Mazzaro did.

You need Wuertz to be Wuertz and things can work out… the Tomko-as-long-dude works for me too, until he coughs it up.

Tomko can be effective for a minute

he’s a fantastic golfer too.

Against Philly 2 years in a row

That was digusting against Yankees when Torre made him throw 8,000 pitches.

He’s soft. His numbers don’t tell the story. I would take Bailey over him any day of the week because Bailey has the mental makeup.

Johan Santana might be unluckiest pitcher of 2010. He’s now allowed 1 run or 0 in 12 of 20 starts – but hasn’t gotten a W in 6 of the 12.
