Game Thread

Crafty righthander Justin Duchscherer has avoided the bobble-jinx today, so the A’s are in good shape.

Copeland era comes to an end. Kennedy is starting batting 7th. Petit down. Gray up.  Someone on the scout.com boards said that someone on the radio said that geren said that Bobby C. will get most of the starts at 3B. Boo. Also there is some other nonsense about other 3bmen.

In other news, I need to stop looking at **…

Lineup:

De-kludging Free Kraut; Game Thread

In place of your basic lineup list, DFA and I present to you the following:

Beta Version of a usable FK site

You should probably set up your own login (it defaults to editor), but it may take longer than expected to get your password, so you can also sign in as jcrewjr / freekraut. Either way you’ll get Editor (not administrator) rights. I don’t know what, if any, settings you can change but please FOR THE LOVE OF PICKLED CABBAGE don’t change any site-wide settings (you can upload an avatar and play with your sigline if you want). The software is heavily customized, so changes through the admin interface may break things that you can’t unbreak. Also, do not post actual content on this site as it will not survive the transition (as, I hope, the content here will).

Now, features:

Threaded comments which use ajax (post without reloading page) and are much less space intensive
Support for siglines and avatars
Unread comment tracking (plus Z key functionality – note that when you press the z key you’ll get an alert that says “called,” this ensures the function is triggered. If pressing z doesn’t work as expected, I’ll want to know whether you get the alert and what browser you’re using.)
Wide-screen format
Post filtering (DLDs and Game Threads to sidebar so they don’t knock out other posts)
Post minimizing (All main-area posts except for the first one display only their excerpt)
Images in comments (and buttons to do html markup)

Please let me know if there is anything unintuitive/missing/whatever. If I can add it, I will. Please check it out and play around this weekend so that I can move forward with implementing whatever bugs there are.

A’s face another lefty: Ricky Romero. When he gets a good lead he can close it on his own, so the A’s need to score early.

Game Thread- Uh… “Josh Day”

A’s going for their first home win of the season. Checking the lineups this year never fails to raise my blood pressure. First start for Landon Powell today. A’s will win 4-3.

Thoughts on last night’s game: the defensive metrics weren’t lying about Griffey. He looked like 2007 Bonds out there.
