Interminable delay 32

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 ...

Chris Carter already bats right-handed 95

Willingham to DL with Carter's promotion. Willingham had tested Achilles by running yesterday. #Athletics — Susan Slusser (@susanslusser) June 23, 2011 Willingham's trip to DL backdated to the 18th. Assume this means no immediate time at first for Ellis. #Athletics #teamofchange — Susan Slusser (@susanslusser) June 23, 2011 Godfrey vs Capuano at 10:10 am PT

Coco Crisp turns around to bat right-handed 84

#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, ...

Teff Jam 227

Younger than Batman Well, fuck it, I don’t care what you think. I’m trying to do the right thing. TWMLS: I wonder how they can fit it in there, despite the amount of time I’ve spent looking at it. I like the new nickname: Rehabbin’ Rich Harden

Gruddy Broom 80

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 ...

Mad science 90

#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.

A’s – Giants 061711: My Man Godfrey 92

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?!
