Athletics @ Angels MONDAY GAME THREAD

Oakland Athletics at Los Angeles Angels, Apr 28, 2008 7:05 PM PDT


You know what I like about the Oakland Athletics? In 2002, they went 8-11 against the Seattle Mariners. Had they gone 1-18 against the Mariners that season, Seattle would have been the Wild Card team in the playoffs that year.

Quinlan gets the start at 3B, instead of Brandon Wood.

Quinlan?

Man. I get depressed every time I see his name in the ‘due up’ list at the end of a half-inning.

Two Garland strikeouts in one inning

And with that, he nearly doubles his K-total for the season thus far.

Actually it was an inch into fair territory

The Frank Thomas triple was more an hilarious reminder of how crazy the game of inches is THAN say, soemthing to get riled up about them being great or us being bad.

He USED to punch them the opposite way with two strikes, and he was a better hitter for it. But now he just pulls everything into the ground no matter where the pitch is.

Game by Game ERAs for Moseley this year

1) 9.00
2) 6.00
3) 9.00
4) 7.71
5) 5.40

I don’t see anything there. Moseley’s best ERA in a single game this year is approximately the same as Garland’s SEASON ERA.

by Caseys Kiss of Death on Apr 28, 2008 8:53 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

It's hovering at 'intolerable', and is consistently bad.

Moseley sucks. It’s a fact of life. He pitches to line-drive contact. Garland may suck, but he has a track record that says that he doesn’t always suck. Moseley’s sucking isn’t pre-dated by a non-suck track record.

If you would really, honestly rather have Moseley on your team

than I don’t know how to help you. Moseley is the same kind of awful everywhere…even in the bullpen last year he eventually became hittable.

Garland has never had a full season as bad as how he’s been in a few starts to open this year. I tend to think that veterans are allowed a few bad starts early before we get a lynch mob out.

Vlad "do or die"

on a lazy pop fly…he overran it and Thomas was able to nearly WALK to third. He did a horrible slide as he went into 3rd and the throw wasn’t even close.

15, 17

In two seasons, plus over 30 doubles in both. 113, 109 OPS+ in those years. Not a bad pickup.
Honestly, he’s the least sucky of the three guys we’ve served up taters to tonight.

I'm honestly curious

how does a somewhat worthless, frequently relocated franchise like the Athletics without a dominant winning tradition in recent memory have such a strong e-presence on the internet exactly? Athletics Nation is ridiculously active, despite no one ever appearing at the park, and without any real reason for bandwagoners to exist. It’s seriously confusin.

It DID turn into a spring training game at 10-2.

Bootcheck shoulda been pulled out at that point, but there was nobody even warming in the ‘pen at that time.

it’s not like 12-run leads get you an extra win or anything. So at this point it’s just annoying to get blown out.

BEST ANGEL HAIRCUT EVER

Bootcheck on the bench … I NEED A SCREENSHOT OF THAT SOMEBODY…

by Rev Halofan on Apr 28, 2008 9:31 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

So right now our number one is the guy that wouldn't have made the

rotation if myspaceobar and thunder were healthy. Our number 2 was a head case on the road and in the day time, and our number three is slower to home plate than benji molina rounding 3rd. Number 4 and 5 are the space shuttles challenger and columbia.

How the hell are we the second best record in the AL?
