TOBY!

Juan-ee!

On December 14, 2007, Greg Smith was traded to the Oakland Athletics along with Carlos Gonzalez, Brett Anderson, Aaron Cunningham, Dana Eveland, and Chris Carter for Dan Haren and Connor Robertson. Smith made his first major league start on April 9th, 2008, pitching six innings and allowing two earned runs, in an effective start that allowed the Athletics to eventually win. Interesting.

"On July 30, 2007, Brown shot Kansas City reporter Karen Kornacki in the eye with a BB gun. This happened when Kornacki was talking to his Royals teammate Tony Peña Jr.. The Royals called it "an accident"." per wikipedia on Emil Brown

Lower than low changeups

"The changeup was lower than low."

Alan Embree is the worst lineup reader ever.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 16, 2008 -> 03:04 PM) Why, what's up? Gamethread was starting to look pretty slow.

Must be a lot of leftover agitation from last night's game.

Did you notice it said CQ was tied for the ML lead in homers with Brian Howard?

Seems like he gets a lot of leadoff hits.

I like OC a lot more now that I know he wears AF1s.

You have to remember that two of Thornton's runs came at the beginning of his fourth consecutive inning against Detroit, and I really don't hold him accountable for what happens after he's left out there that long. Does anyone else feel like Wasserman gave up a ton of cheap hits?

Did I miss something? I didn't realize that when you lose this badly it counts as more or something. Can't win them all. We had several bloop hits, Gavin was on the edge of giving up a ton of runs at all times. We had some things go our way early, it isn't as if we thoroughly dominated them and pissed it all away at once. This is a game we deserved to lose, just like many others.

Losses like these tend to breed losing streaks. If we win tomorrow, that obviously is negated. Every team will have games like this, who has the shortest memory? A game ahead of Minnesota or tied is not relevant, if we can't outplay them by one game the rest of the season we don't deserve the playoffs. As I have said previously, if we play near our potential we'll have this thing in the bag.

This loss is irrelevant if we go out and win tomorrow.

try right down the middle letter high

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Aug 15, 2008 -> 10:38 PM) wish we had someone in our pen that could strike someone out, now that a runner is at 3rd base We do, they both already pitched, one is the reason that the man on third is the winning run.

yay way to start it off!
