FREE KRAUT! 
Ken and Vince say Braden has Figgins tied up with his varying deliveries and moves.
(if not his pitches).
They showed a replay on tv of one pitch where Figgins was breaking back to 1st while the pitch went to the plate.
I like the new title.
“He was pitching in a beer league back in Arizona.”
Please Excuse My Dumb Aunt Geren
Remember back in the spring when all us nostalgic types were hoping Giambi, freed from the short-porch shackles of Yankee Stadium, would soon restore the off-field liner to his hit to all fields repertoire? Yeah, that was great.
1. I think Bobbby Abreu might have an even bigger gut than Ken Griffey Jr.
2. That kid who threw out the first pitch should take Eveland’s slot in the rotation tomorrow.
3. Bottom of the second, and Fosse is already talking about Dibs.
Re:3, what else does he have to talk about? Kuiper’s an idiot. The offense is offensive. the defense is brutal, except Sweeney. Sweeney is good. Talk about him Ray.
Sweeney’s pointless throw home allowing the trailing runner to get to third probably cost a run.
Crosby’s 0 for 2, and he hasn’t even come to the plate yet.
Yay for little league defense.
Crap.
I believe in you Bobby!
Holliday running on the first pitch after getting plunked in the ribs is a definitive grit-validator.
You’d think. Yet my response to seeing him slide into 2nd with the ball landing in the outfield was “What the fuck are you doing?”
Not a lot of overlap between grit and IQ, unfortunately.
I think Billy personally gave the steal sign there, as a plan to bolster Holliday’s marketability to an NL team, where such things are prized.
LaRussa might have had to repair to the clubhouse to have his way with himself after beholding such a defiant, manly display of intestinal fortitude.
Do you suppose the A’s heavy bullpen use is just them doing their part to shore up the job market?
I go to a college baseball game, come back, the A’s have lost again, and DAN GIESE is starting tomorrow? What’s going on?
I expect to see a jeremy giambi trade where beane blows the team up any time now.
Angels 1, Bobby Crosby 0.
Explain again why we don’t have a third baseman who can… what’s the word… play third base?
Well Hannahan is pretty good at playing it, if by “playing” you exclusively mean defense. But Bob Geren prefers to start a guy who’s never played there his entire life up to this season instead.
Why do I watch these games? I might as well slam my fingers in a car door over and over for three hours.
losses to teams from Anaheim really piss me off
fucking seriously. Is tonight the worst night ever? Maybe. A’s lose to the stupid effing Angels. I’m in Boise, ID. The only bright spot is Grouch& Eligh (http://www.myspace.com/thegrouchandeligh) and Afro Classics (http://www.myspace.com/afroclassicsmusic) are supposed to be in town. Eligh and Afro Classics drove 5 hours the wrong way from their last show in Missoula, MT. Only the Grouch and his laptop on stage, two hours late. He could only play what he happened to have. Not even a DJ. Dope, but not as dope as it should have been. And then I see the A’s lose to the fricken Angels. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
Every iffyish decision goes spectacularly wrong. Crosby makes 7 errors… Petit comes up in important situations and hits like .650 ops in sacramento guy that he is. giese tomorrow…. what a disaster…
