Yeah, that’s a poseur, alrighty. #Athletics vs. #Marlins: Weeks 2B, Penn. SS, Crisp CF, Matsui DH, Jackson 1B, Sweeney LF, Suzuki C, DeJesus RF, Sizemore 3B, Gonzalez P — Oakland Athletics (@Athletics) June 28, 2011

I’ll try anything that makes me think of hitting. Plus, Gilles Meloche! Weeks 2B, Ellis 1B, Crisp CF, Matsui LF, Jackson RF, Sizemore 3B, Suzuki C, Rosales SS, Cahill P vs. Cole Hamels. Pennington gets the night off. NewBob says Balfour was unavailable last night and is unlikely for tonight due to some soreness in ...

#Athletics at #Phillies: Weeks 2b, Pennington ss, Sweeney cf, Matsui lf, Jackson 1b, DeJesus rf, Suzuki c, Sizemore 3b, Moscoso 1 — Susan Slusser (@susanslusser) June 24, 2011 Moscoso-Worley sounds like a wonkish bit of finreg legislation that’ll eventually pass the House in watered-down form: “Series 7, Moscoso-Worley Compliant”

11:30 Pacific time start they say now. #Athletics — Susan Slusser (@susanslusser) June 23, 2011 #Athletics at #mets: Weeks 2b,Penny ss, Crisp cf, Jackson lf, Sizemore 3b, Ellis 1b, DeJesus rf, Powell c, Godfrey p. — Susan Slusser (@susanslusser) June 23, 2011 Wonder if the delay might give Carter a chance to have a nap ...

#Athletics at #Mets: Weeks 2b, Pennington ss, Crisp cf, Matsui lf, Jackson 1b, Sweeney rf, Suzuki c, Sizemore 3b, Gonzalez p — Susan Slusser (@susanslusser) June 22, 2011 Ellis has apparently morphed into Mark Kotsay. Game finally started in Flushing after ~1h rain delay. 0-0 top 2.

#Athletics @ #Mets: Weeks 2B, Pennington SS, Crisp CF, Matsui LF, Jackson 1B, Sweeney RF, Suzuki C, Sizemore 3B, Outman P — Jane Lee (@JaneMLB) June 21, 2011 Melvin, at least, should do NL managing better than oBob. I wonder whether Matsui can under UZR Dunn. Also, stay tuned Gold-Jersey-Win-Streak fans: No yellow jerseys tonight, ...

Wave it high. I suspect we’ll be lightly trafficked today, what with the Ess Eff resident Kraut contingent attending the game in person (and rooting for the A’s, one assumess and hopes), and others of us doing Father’s Day stuff, or lazing in this fine June sunny-but-not-too-hot day. But a game thread is required, so ...

#Athletics vs. #SFGiants: Weeks 2b, Pennington ss, Crisp cf, Matsui dh, Jackson rf, Suzuki c, Sizemore 3b, Rosales lf, Barton 1b — Susan Slusser (@susanslusser) June 18, 2011 Yeah, that’s one Melvinian lineup. Interesting Slumbeat: Barton is toast. No score in the 4th, A’s threatening making polite inquiry.

The leading man really wasn’t very good the first time, but the end result was boffo box office, baby! We are hardly in a position to complain about the quality of play in those few victories the A’s manage to seize in their frail, trembling grasps. So, did somebody say remake?! Graham Godfrey is 25 ...
