huh, we went back down to $1.81, right away. Stupid thieves :fyou

And in reality, what are the odds of a team drafting, signing, growing, and maturing 3 starting pitchers into potential Cy Youngs? If it were easy, every team would be doing it. I want to see the As do it again, to prove it wasn't luck. If Blanton and Harden turn into stars, I will be a believer in Beane.

Geesh even the server was so shocked it crashed

FC, two down, runners at the corners.

One out, Mora scores...

Bases loaded, no one out. We might get a chance to extend that HR streak after all...

New rule. You have give each hitter 2 balls before you can pitch

Oh would a GIDP be nice here...

Base hit Tejada. 1st and 2nd no one out. Please get the pen up, PLEASE

If you said "walk" you are a winner

We all are OK how does the first hitter get on base?

All right folks say your prayers and confess your sins... It sounds like it is going to be Billy Time.

Maggs flies out... He has looked 100% better today trying to hit the ball the otherway, as have Frank, Juan, Pauly and a couple of others. Smart hitting.

Uribe is gone on 3 pitches.

Its hold em and go to Toronto. Now the Wheel of Closers will begin.

They will have to find 22 owners to vote against Peter Angelos of the Orioles who has said he won't support it. Personally I say send them to NYC to further dilude the 20 million person New York City market.

Geesh, I think Soxtalk probably has more attendance then Montreal does.

In my previous post I kind guessed at our top hitting and our top pitching prospect. Maybe another pitcher to give them a guy who could help them now.

It comes down to $$$. As these guys salaries start to go up and the A's attendance sucks, he is going to have to make a choice. If the A's aren't in contention, it could be sooner than later he has to decide.

Well unless we threw in Maggs to do it. I would wonder if a Reed or Anderson, and Honel for Hudson type deal could be done.

Kenny has a plan. He might not be the most likeable guy in the world, but he has a pulse on this team, and it working on something. Hopefully this team stays in it, and he gets a chance to pull the trigger.

Nice try by Matos to try to sell that catch. Smart. Good job by the ump to be hustling out into position and see it.

Here here !!!

You want to know why we end up with idiot teachers, I will tell you why. When a college student has problems, they advise them to go into elementary ed. They keep them away from the "tough" majors and instead let them teach our young.

I would guess that Hudson would be the odd man out. He is the smallest physically, and he is also the only right hander. It is much easier to find a good RHP vs a LHP. He also looks like he has the biggest contract. And actually I think with Oakland losing so many hitters, the Sox would be a good fit for a trade with the A's. (sorry if I repeated something from the game thread, but I haven't read that.)
