Game Thread 52

Crosby in at 1B again after Nomar was a late scratch (as DH). Just cut them both. Maybe. Oh, and cut Rajai too. A’s down 2-0 but threatening.

    oh Jason….

    Ok, I changed my mind about still having hopes for this year.

    • batgirl May 26,2009 7:53 pm || Up

      Don’t give up hope–Ellie’s in the booth!

      And apparently, he’s entered in some sort of Matt Holliday look-alike contest.

    Email to CSNCA:
    Dear Ken & Ray: Why do you spend half of every single broadcast talking about pitch counts? Please give it a rest.

    • BruceBochte May 26,2009 8:44 pm || Up

      Pitch counts are the biggest obsession in baseball today…

    Kennedy magic over?

  5. BruceBochte May 26,2009 8:50 pm

    Icihiro 20 game streak. Dude is awesome…

    Geren bafflingly allows Rajai to hit against the reliever and he comes through!

    • BruceBochte May 26,2009 9:05 pm || Up

      What do they call that on Wall Street?

      The contrarian strategy or something…

  7. mikeA May 26,2009 9:06 pm

    All 3 AL West games went from 3-0 to 3-1 in the space of about two minutes. Magic is in the air…

    • BruceBochte May 26,2009 9:08 pm || Up

      Once the M’s pulled the lefty, I felt the A’s had a chance…

  8. BruceBochte May 26,2009 9:09 pm

    Bases juiced, SpartaCust up…

    • BruceBochte May 26,2009 9:13 pm || Up

      Cust choke, first pitch swinging against the reliever…

    • monkeyball May 26,2009 9:15 pm || Up

      Score don’t score one for the A’s brain trust and their insistence that Cust change his approach.

        At least no DP kept the inning going…

      • mikeA May 26,2009 9:25 pm || Up

        I don’t like the changed approach, but I didn’t have a problem with that (and I think swinging at more (more than last year, not more than this year) first pitches is a good idea for him generally.

        • monkeyball May 26,2009 9:31 pm || Up

          But … not that pitch, in that situation, against that pitcher.

            I didn’t think it was a bad pitch to hit.

  9. BruceBochte May 26,2009 9:13 pm

    Holliday with a chance to earn his money…

  10. mikeA May 26,2009 9:15 pm

    WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

    Hope returns!

          Is that one of the ones with Dorothy Lewmour?

      You called it with the “magic is in the air” quip. just hope there is no magic for slegnA or saxeT

      • nevermoor May 26,2009 9:22 pm || Up

        saxeT?

        Ewwww…

    Hey guys,

    I can’t figure out why it’s doing that strange non-wrapping thing (which it never does on mine). All of that code should be the same.

    Is it doing it on the DLD too, or just that AK title?

    • mikeA May 26,2009 9:24 pm || Up

      For what it’s worth, I haven’t had any of the problems people are apparently having.

      • Leopold Bloom May 26,2009 10:57 pm || Up

        me neither.

        Still have your job, your house, and your natural vitality of youth? Well, bully for you!

      Both – but only in Unread. Weird.

      • nevermoor May 27,2009 8:57 am || Up

        Very weird. Especially since only some people have the problem and I’m using the same code in both places.

        I may have time Friday to dig a level or two deeper (since there must be a difference at some level).

          And only in Camino – doesn’t show up in Firefox or Safari.

    Bailey or Ziggy in the 9th?

  14. mikeA May 26,2009 9:27 pm

    I love the bullpen use there, particularly using Casilla for one out instead of one of Bailey/Ziegler/Wuertz, as they might be needed for more in extra innings.

  15. BruceBochte May 26,2009 9:31 pm

    Tonight…

    Free kraut or Freak out?

  16. mikeA May 26,2009 9:34 pm

    Bailey looks a lot better with some rest.

  17. BruceBochte May 26,2009 9:37 pm

    3 in a row for the first time this year! Huzzah!

    Are comparisons between Irish Cream and the Sandman premature? They seem to get similar action on their cutters…

    Big thanks to Mike Sweeney for getting injured on his way in to score in the first.

  20. BruceBochte May 26,2009 9:43 pm

    Ozzie running wild on slegnA tonight. 3 SBs off Napoli

    And its 4-1!

  21. xbhaskarx May 26,2009 10:01 pm

    LOL, I hope someone got that on the DVR…

    They interviewed Braden about the 7th inning rally and he said: “I knew they had a couple runs “stashed” away” as he displayed his mustache tattoo.

    • FreeSeatUpgrade May 26,2009 10:24 pm || Up

      Braden’s the coolest public Athletic in years.
