Gee Lev, thanks for the kind words < ...

I understand what you are all saying, but I'm not as down on the idea as you all are. I think it depends on the (re)advancement of Quentin, and the other players we may get this off-season. Sure you ...

well thank goodness I'm brain dead, because without Byrnes we're in last place this year.

Eric Byrnes joined the Oakland A's in the year 2000 playing a small roll for them until 2005 when he was traded and was there through the A's great playoff appearances run of 2000 to 2003.

I thought of something last night watching the poor performance of our team in almost all aspects of the games this series.

And I will admit I threw a bottle. I wasn't drunk, either. But I'm not going to lose sleep over someone calling me or the fan base(Not like fan base as a whole deserves it, but will get it labeled) cl ...

Yeah, Upton was so fast to 2B that he almost wasn't in a position to slide until it was too late, his slide wasn't "horizontal" as much as 45 degree angled. Seems his front foot stuck and he ...

I just hope our guys realize who is on the mound tonight for the opposition.
Jeff Francis.

The same Jeff Francis with a career 4.68 ERA, and ended this season with a 4.22 ERA. He gave up 25 home r ...

Rockies Defensive Efficiency (turning balls in play into outs) was .703. Ours was .700.

DBacks pitchers gave up a few more BBs and HRs and got a few more Ks.

Jones v1999 used to play a very shallow CF like MG described to catch a lot of balls that would have dropped in as singles against another CFer. He could get away with this because he was so good at g ...

However uncomfortable it may make some people, I think Jackson and Snyder drive the offense this game.

I expect a lot of Drew on base with one or two outs and Jackson, Reynolds, Snyder due up type ...

Thankfully I likely won't have to stay up past midnight to see the end of this game!

Granted it is excessively selective sampling, but if you take out Snyder's horrid 2005 full season where he was obviously lost at the plate, he's racked up 681 PAs with a line of .257/.342/.434/.776

kris has made this suggestion before. I think he just has it in his head that Clark should be our fulltime 1B and cleanup hitter with his glorious .310 OBP last year cause hey! he hits HRs!!

How is Ojeda from the right side?
Better as a LHB.

19 years old, first playoff PA, draws a walk. Gotta love it!!

Nice Snydes!! C'mon Upton, go Andruw on 'em

Good play by Byrnes with the hard slide.

ok, now he's ready

CJ won't swing till he sees strike one

I guess CY has no idea what to move on with Lilly. No idea at all.

Ok, get CY in motion with 1 out.
