You know what I liked best about this SWEEP OF THE FRICKIN' RED SOX? The fact that the A's did virtually everything right in the three games, from hitting to pitching to defense to Geren's strateg...

OK, I'll admit it: I'm emotionally and financially invested in Rich Harden not succeeding. (For those of you who missed it, mikeA and I made a wager last year that Harden wouldn't reach 10 more starts...

Is the Dallas Braden Experiment over?

by monkeyball on Sep 29, 2007 4:03 PM PDT

Inland Empire 3, A's 2 I'm not sure which was shorter today -- Dallas Braden's start, or the AN game thread. A tough irony for Braden, in that the one start in a long time where he seemed to be relati...
