Around SBN: Leandro Damiao Is Still Really Good

Open Thread II - Beantown @ Oaktown

Ignignot_fuck_boston_medium

Scoreless after 2 1/2 quick innings.  Sheets throwing in slo-mo but it seems like it is working... maybe he's saving the Major League fastball for the 2nd time through.  Dice-K doing his "rock back and forth 6 times at the top of my windup" thing.  Eric Byrnes is still a moronic twit. Thank you.

This date in A's history

1992 – Carny Lansford went 4-4 with 3 doubles in a 6-2 win over the Tigers
1999 – Buddy Groom pitched his 6th consecutive game, retires one batter in a 10-5 win over Colorado
2002 – Cory Lidle throws a one hitter against the Rangers, wins 10-0.
