And now Guerrier... why? Why not bring in Joe Nathan? Are they saving him?

Fire Gardenhire!

While we're talking about bullpens, I don't like using Street here simply because Gaudin and Blanton are going a long time without getting any action. I don't really want rusty bullpen guys in the ALCS.

Now it's officially a "Happy Birthday" present!

Gastric ReFlux · 10-06-2006, 08:13 PM

Go A's, it's a victory for sabermetrics everywhere!

JDOldSchool · 10-06-2006, 08:14 PM

Well everyone's going to have a few days anyway since the presumed Yankee sweep didn't happen. So I'm not sure the extra day matters too much.

But Gaudin and Blanton will have more than a week between appearances. It's not so much wanting Street to get the extra day, but for a lesser used get to get the inning of work.

yah!

Finally they get that elusive series closing win.

Cowboys3356 · 10-06-2006, 08:58 PM

I simmed this series out using OOTP and the Twins won 3 games to 2 BUT the Twins had Josh Rabe and he went 11-21 with 7 RBIs. To bad the "legend in the making" didn't get to play in the real series. On the bright side maybe that fool manager Ronny G of the Twins will finally get fired.

Today was by far the best baseball game I've ever been to.

Hunter's equivalent averages for the past three seasons are .280, .281, and .274. IIRC, your average major league CF in 2006 was .261. I'd like him on my team, please.

I'm extremely jealous of you.

I watched most of the last game and I have to say that if the Mets don't win it all, I'm rooting for the A's now.
