Should we even count Kendall's
groundball outs?  Isn't that how he always gets out?

thank god
a new pitcher....maybe we will get a few hits now

No more Westbrook...
Can the A's take advantage of the weak Cleveland 'pen?

I for one hope so...

Kotsay fist pitch swinging
[shrugs] It's who he is.  He'll never be patient half the time.  For him I'm okay with it.

6 more outs.  Let's go A's!

by paradox on Jun 6, 2006 5:56 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

It's the way he works.
Jose Guillen was like that, too.

Hate to see Swish going through another 0-fer
He'll come around like he did a couple weeks ago after a slump, though. For once, I actually thinkt he offense has it in em to bring this one back.

by walk off bunt on Jun 6, 2006 5:54 PM PDT   0 recs

Agreed.
Lots of good swings tonight against a pitcher that tends to befuddle them.

Why is Zito back out there?
Didn't he throw 120-something pitches his last outing? Seems like it might be having a little adverse effect today...

105 right now

Anyone else wonder
What it would be like if Beane had made that trade a few years ago for Hafner instead of Pena.

Not that it's Beane's fault at all, of course. Just something interesting to think about.

by walk off bunt on Jun 6, 2006 6:00 PM PDT   0 recs

No way...
We should've kept that Jason Hart guy (that was his name right?)
I like Mickey Morabito's hair.

by franks a lot on Jun 6, 2006 6:01 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Yeah that was it
I remember people tried to call him the next Jason Giambi.

Might've materialized had he not got a brain tumor or something serious along those lines which pretty much derailed his career.

Thanks, DJ
If the runner comes in I won't forget.

Way to go Dan Johnson!!!!
Bottom of the eigth, blow the double play.  What the hell you are doing out there with Barry is a question we all have.

Sorry, hombre, that hurt bad.

Ouch.
We were so close to getting out of this.

Zito officially grounded
This is one of the top offenses in Baseball - Let's attack that bullpen.
"ET TU, DAMON?" 4/4

by FireballerHARDEN on Jun 6, 2006 6:04 PM PDT   0 recs

Just how crappy is their bullpen
And are they poor enough to give up two runs?  Or average enough to just surrender one run?

by franks a lot on Jun 6, 2006 6:04 PM PDT   0 recs

The former.
Betancourt is good, but Wickman is uninspiring.

Or at least keep the campaign going?

Sigh...
That inning wasn't fair. A bobbled double play ball puts a runner in position to score on a fluke blooper hit.

Come on, bats!
