So I'm glad Rob has all the guys on the team behind him.

Perhaps one of them will catch the pitches he misses.

I am sorry for going too far with the “pretending that Suzuki is Japanese when we all know he’s like a 3rd generation Hawaiian”. It’s clear that I’m too much o a newbie to be ironically racist.

Kurt Suzuki

was a major pain in the ass for the Rainiers, so why am I not surprised hes still a major pain in the ass for our major league team?

By the way…the umps were terrible in this game. And unlike the others, it was completely one sided this time.

Oh well, we will kick their asses tomorrow for the split.

Opponents won’t though, and it’ll be part of the massively annoying nature of this club.

by Johnny Slick on Apr 7, 2010 10:27 PM PDT up reply actions  

Weren't the A's projected by BP to win, like 3 or 4 fewer games than the Mariners?

And this was on the road. I know the Mausoleum is a craphole that no fan goes to but IIRC home field advantage has more to do with just playing in another, unfamiliar city than it is about decibel levels.

by Johnny Slick on Apr 7, 2010 10:33 PM PDT up reply actions  

We may be the new Angels, but the A's will always be the A's

The team, their fans, their players, they can all jump off the Bay Bridge for all I care. Not like they’d drown, what with being fucking wizards and shit. Hogwarts America over there.

Eh, we'll be shoving it up theirs soon enough

Lee and Bedard will be making Suzuki cry for his mommy. I’m trying to not freak out too much because we could easily be 3-0 right now, you can’t win EVERY game and we’re only three in, and the A’s always do this shit.

I was thinking of a "I am more concerned with X" statement but with 3 games in, even then I can't make it.

Rob Johnson is crap but we knew that coming in. Jack Wilson looks really bad with the stick. What’s new? Milton Bradley got a jack, which is nice, but may be pressing, which isn’t… but again, 3 games.

by Slurvey on Apr 7, 2010 10:34 PM PDT reply actions  

Dave Cameron makes a great point about the 6-man bullpen.

This is the worst time possible to be using it with Lee on the DL.

But then again, with Hannahan out, it’s “damned if you, damned if you don’t.” It’d be nice to have fresh arms for the back-half of the rotation, but one nick to Adam Moore, or a pulled hammy from Jack Wilson and suddenly you’re fucked.

I really hope those two guys come back quickly so we don’t have to deal with this awkward situations for too long.

I hope you're right.

One old past-his-prime DH on the roster is one too many. God knows we can’t afford to carry two of them this time of year.

Isn't that Langerhans' job?

I’d love to keep Sweeney around as a coach, but he has no purpose being on the actual roster.

Eh, sorry to reference Earl Weaver twice in 20 minutes..

…but it’s always the case that a 4 man pen is too many guys when you’re doing well and 6 men isn’t enough. I get that it sucks to have to go deep into the ‘pen when your starters seem physically incapable of throwing more than 5 innings, but it’s not the end of the world. I really don’t see how a smaller pen really lost this game.

Mostly I wish Brandon League will get his shit together, and fast.

He did not impress me at all tonight.

Of course, you'd be sending down Langerhans, not Tui or Johnson.

Personally, I like having 5 OFers because it means the team can use one of them to PH or run and still have an adequate backup for the inevitable Bradley injury. Plus, Bradley himself can get removed in a blowout without leaving the team without a backup out there.
