So is that CSN Insiders commercial supposed to make me WANT to watch the show?
Because it really just makes me want to throw heavy things at the TV and never watch CSN again.
It's also one of those ads
Which the producers should have realized was going to be seen by the same audience three or four times a night, five or six times a week. It takes a very entertaining ad to stand up to that kind of viewing. Mini Sirloin Burgers, yes. Ray Ratto with or without pants, I think not.

And that just inspired me to write this
Because I’m kind of bored.
To the tune of…well, you know.
On a cable show (cable show)
Way out west (way out west)
There’s a former newsman (former newsman)
In a sweater vest (sweater vest)
And a smirky dude (smirky dude)
With a single earring
In a crummy fisheye lens we see them peering
Go away please, Comcast Sports Insiders!

Has no idea he’s been fired. He left in the old economy. Doesn’t realize how hard it will be to get a job now. Especially with his poor job record.

Don't get me wrong - Hamilton is an amazing hitter/player.
But I doubt you could pitch him any worse than Vin Mazzaro has. And those who dislike Suzuki’s pitch calling should really observe Powell closely. Very bad.

You've have to remove Cust for Gross/Watson.
But what better time to use him?

What bugs me is that the difference in the game is
a run the A’s didn’t have to concede. That being said, it could have opened up a big inning had Pennington taken the one out at the plate.

Maybe if that makes it 5-1 you do it
To me, the DP was the right play. Get the two sure outs.

That's what he is right now, definitely. A 3-4 type at best.
No more than that. But he has the potential for more.
He needs a swing and miss pitch.

I'm sure he was a sinker ball pitcher before he injured his shoulder.
I might be imagining it, but I thought he’d basically reinvented himself as a pitcher. If so there’s hope yet.

I really, really, really hate how bad the A's commentators are at judging how far a fly ball has gone.

Every ball is deep, at the track, at the waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall........caught (easily). Irritates me.

A’s gave you three whole runs (THREE!) and you can’t even hold the Rangers scoreless? WHATS WRONG WITH YOU!

Wait.
Is there any reason why Barton or Cust didn’t pinch hit for Rajai right there?

To me it didn't matter
When your starting pitcher pitches THAT badly (I think he pitched worse than his line, and his line is gruesome), you will lose. Period. And only more so on a night when your bullpen is totally fried.

If you've tracked Ziggy's use, and non-use, lately
it appears Geren has more confidence in Bowers these days.

Geren also has more confidence in Rosales than Barton against a guy who's leading the league in giving up walks.
He needs to leave.

Geren is killing what chance we have to win

Yeah, wasn't there some big shot GM with a book about him that felt the same way about managers?
I thought there was
Friendship was the chapter missing from the book
If BB was taking a lie detector test there is no way that he could honestly say that his friendship wasn’t the reason for keeping him around. He loves to go against the fans and realists to (hopefully, eventually) prove he is right.

Cust and Barton aren't your average lefties.
Besides, I’d take Cust vs. Wilson over Carson vs. anybody.
Me too
It’s the only defense they had.

He's leading the league in giving up walks. Barton and Cust are good at getting walks.
