Good thing we didnt lose Clay Richard in a Jake Peavy trade.

 

Lets wait more than two starts before saying such a thing publicly next time.

 

Yeah, if we have Peavy, he could have gone 1 inning and allowed 4 runs.

He's going to lose his job to Pods, that's almost a guarantee right now.

 

Good lord, don't even suggest such. Vomit in my mouth isn't what I consider a nice mid evening snack.

called pods will be starting when quentin comes back.

First, the flu, but second - lets not pretend peavy has accomplished nothing

 

solely to make ourselves feel better.

This ump is awful. He's squeezing the s*** out of Clayton.

Nix really gets good ABs against LHP.

What's up everybody? I'd like to begin by pointing out that Jason Giambi is 46 years older than anybody else on that team.

and people wanna vomit at pods starting need give him a break. hes been playing his ass off even though his running of bases been terrible. But, as of right now Pods will be starting

His ERA is well over 4 this year. It's just disgusting how many people were waiting for a bad start by Richard to jump off the bandwagon so quickly.

im sorry but platoon excuse or any other why brian dosent do well is out the window. If anderson was that good their be no doubt he be starting, no other guys being platooned with and everyone would be happy.

He hits like s*** vs. lefties (something like .150 this year) so of course it makes perfect sense to platoon him against them.

Is it even in question anymore?

This is SoxTalk...did you expect anything less?

Eh, thats like saying "He's playing great!! Well, except he's doing terrible at the one 'skill' he supposedly possesses..."

ya but is he hitting? and actually throwing guys out who try run on him?

I like Richard. I was waiting for no bad start. Just want KW to be honest in his dealings with the media, which involves categorizing guys properly. When Richard achieves, then put him on that pedestal. Very basic needs I have.

Getting a lot of good swings tonight, just too much WTP and untimely DPs

Farmer says Anderson left due to illness/light-headedness.

c'mon lexi, tie it up

called pods will be starting when quentin comes back.

Why wouldnt he? He's more valuable to this team than Brian is at the moment, would you be leading BA off if PODS sat?

losing streak incoming

Goodness, Alexei desperately needs a day off. Just not squaring anything up.

c'mon JD, tie it up

Eh, thats like saying "He's playing great!! Well, except he's doing terrible at the one 'skill' he supposedly possesses..."

He's been pretty good as a leadoff man for us.

The difference in tonight's game is that the A's are crushing every bad pitch made, and we're not getting hits on the numerous bad pitches made by Outman. We're going to see some nasty relievers tonight from the A's with Bailey, Wuertz, etc.

Alexei hasn't hit anything with authority in a long time.
