...where exactly do you live?
The Rangers play in the Central time zone which is 2 hours ahead of Anaheim time.
Meaning when the Rangers start at 5:05 PM PDT (Pacific Daylight savings Time), they are starting at 7:05 PM CDT (Central Daylight Savings Time).
Nowhere in that equation is 6:05PM.

Rain?
What’s that? Water from the sky you say? Man, you are crazy!
So WTF is up with GMJ batting second? Is it not enough to have a black hole in the bottom half of the batting order, now we have to place it right behind Figgy and in front of Vlad. And Aybar 3rd? I love the Admiral, but since when do you put a slap-hitting .270 hitter in the 3-hole?
I know Sosh is a genius (and I don’t mean that sarcastically) but he really is challenged sometimes when it comes to writing out a line-up.
P.S. BTW, if GMJ goes 4-5 including a picture-perfect H&R, and scores 3 runs, and the Admiral goes 3-4 with 2 HRs, I am totally taking credit!

hey Gaudin was converted to a shitty inning eater...
So basically the Cubs get a piece of shit, a broken piece of shit (Harden) while the A’s will scavenge off the ripe meat of the Cubs prospect list.

Look at Gaudins numbers and rethink that
Seattle I would like to thank you for sucking. It allows me to get back to my roots: Hating Fremont.

Oh jeez oh man!
3.59 ERA with a .263 BAA for a middle reliever?!!?
He is no mere man… he is a GOD.
No, wait.. he’s just kinda mediocre.
by shiftyeyedgoat on Jul 8, 2008 5:49 PM PDT up reply actions
4.43 ERA in 34 starts last year.
He was 24. The guy they just got is 22, and not doing any better.
~Till the Halo burns out...
a) So the fuck what?
b) Who said any of these players are worth a damn? Harden is when he is healthy, and since Harden does not connote good health on a baseball team - he’s had two seasons pitching 120+ innings since 2003 and only neared 200 with 180 ONE TIME 4 years ago - methinks the A’s dumped off a player they thought would no longer be able to compete in their youth-oriented system.
Gaudin is a shitty deposed starter from a heavy pitcher’s park moving to a notorious HITTER’s park as a supposed starter? Great logic.
by shiftyeyedgoat on Jul 8, 2008 5:58 PM PDT up reply actions
a) So they traded for poor value.
b) You did when you said the A’s were “scavenging off the ripe meat from the Cubs prospect list.” Point is, they traded a Grade A starter when healthy plus a 3/4th starter for a guy who projects right now as… 3/4th starter. Oh, and they got a box of crap too.
c) Take some chill pills.
~Till the Halo burns out...
Nooo...
A prospect is ripe, but worth nothing other than his potential. Making him not worth much more than a damn.
They traded a pitcher who has pitched 541 IP in going on 6 seasons, a pitcher who was crappy even in a HUGE pitcher’s park for an even younger pitcher holding his own in a park so small you can throw a ball for a home run, a prospect from the minors with good potential, and two meh players up top.
Get a girlfriend, maybe she’ll keep you busy enough to not make 1/5 of the posts here.
by shiftyeyedgoat on Jul 8, 2008 6:11 PM PDT up reply actions
I like how Gaudin was "crappy" but Gallagher is holding his own.
Also, you say get a girlfriend like you’ve got one. If so, what are you doing here?
~Till the Halo burns out...
watching the game whilst she sits in traffic
Gaudin is crappy because he has shown to be no better than a 4.5-ish ERA pitcher who can maybe hold down a 5-slot in a park that affords no advantages to opposing hitters.
Gallagher is freshly 23 and in his first major league season pitching for a supposed World Series contender and doing well in a park that allows hitters to nearly bunt for home runs.
I’d take the latter.
by shiftyeyedgoat on Jul 8, 2008 6:29 PM PDT up reply actions
It was not a straight up one for one trade. This is where you logic fails.
Seattle I would like to thank you for sucking. It allows me to get back to my roots: Hating Fremont.
Kobe tell me how my ass tastes
Bummer.
I’d argue that at 24, 4.43 ain’t bad for a full season, and there’s plenty of room to improve. Saying he’s “no better than 5 slot” is underrating him. That’s 4 slot on a good team. Oakland’s a pitchers park and Chicago’s a hitters park, but the NL is still AAAA.
Gallagher pitching for a WS contender doesn’t have much to do with his potential. His ERA is slightly higher than Gaudin’s, in a league where pitchers bat, and he has trouble making it past 5 innings.
Now, if it were Gallagher for Gaudin straight up, yeah, sure A’s got a steal. But throwing Harden in there, and the equation changes. You’d need more than some loose OF pieces and a single A Catcher to equal what Harden brings to the table, even with an injury history like his.
~Till the Halo burns out...
are the personal attacks necessary?
Mike Scioscia: He provides to unlike method of your team member.
seriously...
two posts ago, he told me to take chill pills.
And but a post before that, hauldog told me to stop sucking a Baseball GM’s penis.

You're right, hauldog shouldn't have said that
but since when are “chill pills” a personal attack, man? You were using some pretty strong language for something that there’s no reason to get that excited about.

2006
He looks to be a pretty valuable reliever
Also you fail to mention that the Cubs acquired what many call the starter with the most dominant stuff in baseball when healthy

Bean's cock
The first openly gay former player. But I figured you would not be savy enough to get my reference.
The A’s are eating shit on this trade, so I guess they can have my portion.

He is not a middle reliever
Take your mouth off Bean’s cock and look at his 2006/2007 numbers as a starter. Is Gallagher your big brother?

Ripe meat? That is laughable
Patterson sucks. Murton is nice but nothing special. The Catching prospect does not strike me as anything special either.
Gallagher, well we will see.
Seattle I would like to thank you for sucking. It allows me to get back to my roots: Hating Fremont.
Kobe tell me how my ass tastes
I'm right with you.
Gaudin by himself might have been worth Gallagher and Murton. Harden thrown in is worth a LOT more than Patterson and Donaldson. More I think about it, the more I think the A’s got jobbed here.
~Till the Halo burns out...
I mean it is 40% of a rotation. One being potentially dominant when healthy

Saunders need to plunk the first Texas batter.
That draws the warning, preventing Texas retaliation against Mathis for last night. It also puts Saunders in the position of not having to retaliate for any Mathis beaning, and thereby getting tossed.
Based on the screaming of Bradley last night, one of our guys, probably Mathis in his first AB, is gonna get beaned anyway. We might as well have the upper hand.

this is what happens when you replace Kotch with McWorthless in the 2 hole
you think they would’ve learned this from our recent streak
Mike Scioscia: He provides to unlike method of your team member.

So I just got back....
WTF is GMJ doing batting second let alone playing, and Q starting in place of CK? CK only has a 900 plus OPS vs Lefties.
Angels org. doesn't believe in stats
http://inplaynoouts.blogspot.com/ - A blog about teams I like, written by me.
stats are for teams that care about putting out meaningful lineups

i saw the sarcasm
i dont understand why our organization fails to udnerstand what’s important, though
http://inplaynoouts.blogspot.com/ - A blog about teams I like, written by me.
you'd think with the A's throwing in the towel
The Angels would want to put their foot on the A’s jugular instead of throwing games themselves.
Mike must have partied too hard in the clubhouse after the announcement.
~Till the Halo burns out...
Nice comeback on Young...from 3-0 to full count and a weak gb to 2b
nice!
This is BAD Vlad and his band of wimps!
Now let's hope it's not a CG loss.
Wouldn’t that suck on the day your first child is born?
Witty .sig goes here.
If there is anybody in baseball we can come back on
it’s Wilson. 4.7 ERA? Yuck.

Agreed. Holding this team to 3 runs in Texas is impressive.
Too bad Scioscia handicapped him with that lineup.

Texas announcers wanted interference called on Torii
I’d sort of agree, he went after Ian, not the base at all
about freaking time

Who's this Juan Rivera guy?
If he was any good, I’m sure they find some playing time for him.
nah, they have Gary Massacre Junior!
Mike Scioscia: He provides to unlike method of your team member.
too bad rivera can't run
that might’ve done it
Mike Scioscia: He provides to unlike method of your team member.
well he hit it hard
BOTG goes to Soth for a worse lineup than would have resulted by picking out of a hat
There is no excuse for the lineup we put out tonight
I can stomach one of the two (Massacre/Q) but there is no reason for both of them.
What's the name of that guy who normally plays first and kills lefties?
We should have put him in tonight.
In Sosh's defense, maybe he feels that we need to keep the bad players sharp.
He might sit the good players figuring they’ll come through on the spot, but if we want any production from bad hitters, we need to play them practically every day to have them at peak performance.
Why does Q need to be sharp
CK can play everyday as can Figgins and if someone got injured it’s not like Q is going to be the everyday guy, they’d call up Morales once he heals up or S-Rod, or Wood
about as crappy as he always does...
Mike Scioscia: He provides to unlike method of your team member.
That doesn't make any sense.
Keep the good players sharp, let the bad players sit. If the good players get hurt, then you play the bad players because you don’t have a choice.
~Till the Halo burns out...
Any team can win by playing good players.
This team has one of the best records in baseball and has gotten it while consistently playing bad players over good players.
A more cunning potential Scioscia strategy
would be that he’s concealing our true power so that everyone will dismiss us as the products of “luck.”
~Till the Halo burns out...
Say what you want but it seems to work...
The Yankees seem to have a surplus of “good” players and may not even make the playoffs.
