Harden is looking good tonight though he's thrown a lot of pitches. That call on Jeter was bull**** and a half.

Go A's!!

I've come close to breaking things multiple times because I can not get the mlb.tv to work. This is so not fair. At least I get to "watch" the gameday.

Well Harden seemed to have his stuff but wasn't getting consistent calls.

W00t! Chavvy!!! 3-3!

I'm surprised Frank Thomas hasn't attempted a steal yet.

By the way, welcome back, Kelly. How was the trip?

Good... and I'm not too disappointed we didn't make it to the game last night.

Yeah it was. I hate it when BS calls result in runs.

I watched that game. Everything Zito threw was up in the zone. He got a VERY generous strike three call on a big hook to Damon, then was high to a pitch to Jeter which got under and popped up. And Chris Berman was saying that Zito was looking sharp and cruising.

I knew that if he didn't channel that adrenalin somewhere, he was going to get shelled. Sorry, though. How do you like the Big Hurt so far?

ESPN sucks. Baseball Tonight just did highlights of the game and didn't show either Swisher or Chavez's homers. They just showed Sheff's double and Posada's RBI single. The only A's plus they showed was Harden's 3 K's of the Yankee big boys.

Give me a few minutes and I'll let you know (he's on deck).

I noticed that. His first AB of the season was pretty good.

0oxst!

Yeah, I liked that.

I didn't like him swinging at the first pitch his first two ABs this game, but this last at bat was much better even though he made an out. So he's 1-for-6 so far. That's OK though; his presence alone is a big factor.

I hope he can stay healthy for your team. You could use his pop.

Huston Street vs. Gary Sheffield. 2 outs and Damon on 2nd.

It's Game 2 of the season and already everything seems huge.

Bobbuttons · 04-05-2006, 01:54 AM

It's raining! Exactly what you want to see in a tie game in the 9th.

JDOldSchool · 04-05-2006, 01:58 AM

Sheff walks, A-Rod grounds into a force out.

Maybe Bradley can end this one quickly.

I was thinking that. It'd be a very nice "welcome to the A's."

Green & Gold Heart · 04-05-2006, 02:01 AM

Guess who's on deck? The A's Mr. Clutch.

Better than Mr. Choke.
