Open Thread: Game 98 - A's vs. White Sox

Chicago White Sox at Oakland Athletics, Jul 25, 2010 1:05 PM PDT
How many days has it been since Dallas Braden's last win? Try one for every trombone in the big parade. Braden takes the mound today not striving for perfection, just hoping to get a win -- which would be a big one for the A's in their quest to win back-to-back series against winning teams and get 2 games over .500, instead of going .500 against the various-colored Sox and slipping back to .500 overall. Right-hander Daniel Hudson, one of the few well-regarded prospects in the White Sox' farm system, makes his first ever start against Oakland.

I will settle for a win
It’s been forever since he has one.
July 25
1930 – A’s have two triple steals in the same game, Al Simmons, Bing Miller, and Dib Williams all steal in the first inning, Mickey Cochrane, Simmons, and Jimmie Foxx steal in the 4th.
1936 – Frankie Hayes ties major league record with four doubles against Cleveland
1996 – Mark McGwire blasts a 488 ft HR into 5th deck at the SkyDome.

Hey Nico:
I banged the drum X-TRA hard for you before Jack’s “Custian” first shot.
It was a weird feeling that comes over me every now and then. After Zook’s HR was ruled such, I just went into “Let’s Go Oakland” and the crowd followed. I usually start out Jack’s ABs with the Jack Cust beat, but, for some reason I just started banging and yelling.
The sun shone directly off of my drum head and into my face, then CRACK!!! One of the most majestic Home Runs that I have seen in the post Horse Testosterone steroid days.
That one was for you Nico!!! Cheers Bro!!!

Today is the last day that I lounge around, not going to work, drinking beer, watching the A’s, jumping in the pool during the half innings, drinking more beer, firing up a big as stogie, drinking more beer…..and all the while watching a good A’s team for a change.

Wow that's kind of a cool stat
2nd in the AL in fouling off pitches with 2 strikes. Combine that with being 1st in the league in walks and it seems like Barton isn’t just taking walks, he’s working for them.
He swings at the fewest pitches out of the zone.
