    Cabrera’s leading off? Really?

    Well, whatever. It’s not like we’re ever going to actually win a game or anything.

    Brandon McCarthy is a “sneaky back door (expletive) nut (expletive) sucker.” Or so I’ve been told.

    This lineup shakeup is the best thing to happen since they called up Copeland.

  6. monkeyball May 7,2009 12:57 pm

    Ho-lee crap. The A’s HR/FB% is … 4.6%.

    The Rangers are off the charts, but there’s pretty clearly an elite tier (>10%), a middle tier (8-9.6), and a crappy tier — and the A’s are way below the crappy tier.

    Base hit by Sweeney. Maybe he should be leading off.

  8. FreeSeatUpgrade May 7,2009 1:15 pm

    Jack Hannahan: all he does is hit homers.

    Can’t see the game to see how well he is pitching, but checking the stats after the 3rd it is nice to see Cahill striking some guys out for a change

    we’ve had slower starts… right?

  11. Ice Cream May 7,2009 1:37 pm

    See Cust.

    See Cust jack.

    Jack, Cust, jack!

  12. asfaninla May 7,2009 1:37 pm

    SPART-A-CUST!

  13. monkeyball May 7,2009 1:37 pm

    Jack Cust: grand slam machine!

  14. whiteshoes40 May 7,2009 1:38 pm

    !!!!

    There is hope for us all.

  15. araksot May 7,2009 1:38 pm

    that was even better than a couple of walks and a 3-run homer

  16. 74mk May 7,2009 1:40 pm

    That’s what having Ryan Sweeney hitting behind you in the lineup will do. It’s called PROTECTION, people.

    Things that make me orgasm.

    1. Sex.
    2. Jack Cust grand slams.

  18. sslinger May 7,2009 1:45 pm

    Wow, a crooked number in an inning. Who’d a thunk it.

  19. salb918 May 7,2009 1:46 pm

    The outfield plays Cabrera at Kendallian depths.

  20. whiteshoes40 May 7,2009 1:47 pm

    Hannahan doubled, Crosby scored.

    Wait what?

  21. whiteshoes40 May 7,2009 1:51 pm

    Sigh. Why can’t they just let us be happy?

    This is an awesome website; how did we not find it last year?

    Holliday=poor man’s Cust

  24. Ice Cream May 7,2009 2:02 pm

    It’s a jolly Holliday with Matty

    No wonder that it’s Matty that we love!

    (Finally.)

  25. Jjjsixsix May 7,2009 2:02 pm

    What is this? These are the A’s?

  26. salb918 May 7,2009 2:03 pm

    Got a tingly feeling for that one.

  27. 74mk May 7,2009 2:14 pm

    Thought experiment (we’ll tackle the trolley problem next)

    Conditions:

    Crosby continues to hit at his current level.
    Cabrera continues to hit at his current level.
    Ellis comes back.
    Chavez comes back.

    Question:

    Does Crosby displace Cabrera at SS?

  28. whiteshoes40 May 7,2009 2:15 pm

    Last Play: J. Hannahan struck out swinging

    Finally, something I recognize.

  29. whiteshoes40 May 7,2009 2:37 pm

    Is there free video of the grand slam anywhere? (I hate you, Gameday premium.)

  30. monkeyball May 7,2009 3:11 pm

    Ugh. Ziggy FAIL.

  31. araksot May 7,2009 3:13 pm

    !st win for Cahill!

    A’s site needs to work on their headline writing.

    Headline-link about tonight’s game: “A’s go deep and often to nab series split” (should we add a team urologist if they’re going often?)

    Subhead on yesterday’s article about Hannahan: “Last season’s mainstay at third gets shot following injuries” (is he a racehorse?)
