PrintTrevor Cahill has been fantastic today; a homerun and a manufactured run all he has given up. But since the A's can't have BOTH sides working; their offense has been stifled by Josh Beckett. It's 2-0 Boston, going to the sixth.

If the A's get swept in Boston, will that bring about any change?
I want to say yes, but chances are that Beane is too busy rehabbing his shoulder so he will be fit and ready for the “Moneyball” red carpet event.

That's twice Beckett has hit an A's player (well if Willingham didn't duck out of the way).
How about a warning, ump?

I'd rather see them get guys out and win the damn game.

But seriously, folks....
I totally disagree...I think it's stupid unless the other team did it on purpose.
But seriously, folks....
Who hits a home run first?
Barton, Sweeney or a random 7 year old in the stands?
But seriously, folks....
What if that random 7 year old grows up to be the next Barry Bonds, huh?

I’m at the point where I’d DFA the entire offense other than Crisp, DeJesus, Willingham though. I’ convinced the rivercats offense would score more runs in MLB than the A’s.

Leading stolen base guy on first no outs. Pitch out. Geren doesn’t easy stolen base. Leads to another run. Geren is stupid once again.

This is a team in free fall
Masked by the Orioles sweep.
Partly Geren’s fault for being a lousy manager (both on and off the field). Partly the front office for not understanding that Matsui was toast, or that they were buying high on DeJesus, or that McCarthy was a doctor’s appointment waiting to happen, or that Jackson was mediocre at best. I could go on…
The good thing is that a few more games like this one and we’ll see the last of Matsui and LaRoche, and maybe the last of Ellis and DeJesus. Maybe even the last of Landon Powell.
DeJesus is playing ok
Also, he is currently a type A free agent. If he continues to play fairly well this year, the A’s offer arbitration, and he signs with another team then the A’s receive 2 choices. Might or might not happen.

I have gave Geren a lot of slack, but if you were going to bring Laroche in, why not have thq
rightie versus the leftie.
no he isn't the biggest, but if you are going to remove the leftie after his at bat against a LOOGY, you q
should have let the right hander hit.

If the A's are 7 or more games out by June 15th, they should jettison everyone with a contract ending this year.
They don’t have the talent to pull off the long winning streaks required to make up such a deficit. It’d be pointless to continue to carry around dead weight like Ellis, Kouzmanoff, Matsui, etc in the hopes they’d rebound to some kind of averageness. Those who can be traded (DeJesus, Willingham, Crisp etc) for value, should. Who knows, they might get a higher return for those players now then at the deadline since no one else is looking to sell right now.
Give Weeks, Cardenas, Taylor, Carter when he’s ready, etc MLB at bats in the hopes that one or more of them establish themselves as a viable piece of a contender for the future. You can’t do that if you only give them at bats in September. But you’d get a better sense of what they can do if you give them at bats from now until the end of the season. Heck, even bring up Jai Miller to prove he’s more Nelson Cruz than Jake Fox.
And if all or most of them fail, then it’s pretty much the end of hope for quality baseball in Oakland.

NEW THREAD OPEN
I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal
What in the world.
I would dance and be merry, life would be a ding-a-derry, if Bob Geren had a brain.
Are you fucking kidding me?

Jenks waddled after that ball. He should have been at 2B.

This game reminds me of an old Angels game
The jawing of strikes, I mean, one time an Angels reliever was pissed at a ball call and turned his back at the throw back from the catcher. The ball squirted away and the A at third scored for the win, remember that?
This is Bobby Jenks, people.
"We were shit, pathetic," Guillen growled early in spring training. "We hit too many home runs."
Ok, so I missed the 1st 8.5 innings.
Is DeJesus hurt? Did Geren leave Cahill in too long? Are the A’s hitting the ball solidly, or is the fact that they have 11 hits and only 1 xbh an indication that they’ve been lucky today?
come tot he new thread
