foulkehampshire, I suppose you may be right. This could be a game for Lester to build from. He's quietly putting together a pretty good outing. Even without first pitch strikes....

Sweet K of Hanahan!!

Harden done after 86 pitches. Andrew Brown in. Let the drubbing begin!

Time for NutraSystem Advanced. I don't want him going the way of Kirby.

Lowell struck in the ribs there. That's gonna leave a mark.

I just got in and am listening to the radio feed. Anyone know who the second broadcaster is? Doesn't sounds like Dale or O'Brian and the guy sounds awful!

Replying to my own post. Gordon someone? Who the hell is this guy where is Dale?

Ouch. Right in the ribs. That's gotta hurt.

I want a good old fashioned brawl!

Sports are getting to goody-goody! Too many "sportsmanship" awards. I say fuck that and charge the damn mound.

I really want to like JD, but he is making it very difficult.

Lester's still only at 74....

[mike94850]

Fuck!!!!

[Kitchkinet]

4-pitch walk to Tek.

[marsrover21]

Shitty.

The other thing about the A's announcers are they never admit when a play is close. To whit: the play at the plate last night (I forgot who it was) where the runner got in just under the tag. The guy goes, "Oh, he was out by a mile." Assholes. All right, I'm going to MLB radio.

Edit: nice BB, Tek.

Postseason granny gives him immunity for at least the month of april.

Nice opposite field hit for Coco

Unfortunately, this is the epitome of station-to-station ball

I thought that immunity was already used retroactively for the first five months of 2007?

how come all of our washed up pitchers revive their careers in oakland?

Cora uses his omnipotent mind to telekinetically move the ball to hit him.

Super Genius.

Expansive foul territory.

Smart of Alex to take one for the team there...

[EllisTheRimMan]

Squander-rific game for the Olde Towne Teame todaye.

[Doooweeeey!]

@#$^#$^#$&!!!!!!!!! Quit squandering baserunners!!!!!


...and still no first pitch strikes for Lester.

Edited by Doooweeeey!, 02 April 2008 - 04:22 PM.

[LargeFather44]

It's now a full out man-crush for Alex Cora... and i hate everyone else today. What is that like the 3rd time today we've had the bases loaded and no runs to speak of?

Please do not waste this game guys

[Doooweeeey!]

Anybody watching this, does it seem like Lester's really in command (sic) or is it that the A's bats really suck?

Edit: I'll answer my own question. On 87 pitches, 47 strikes and 40 balls. Not what I'd call good control.

2nd edit: 3 up 3 down. I'll take it.

How long does Tito leave Lester out there? He's set down 8 in a row and is at 87 pitches

I bet he comes out for one more inning.

[mike94850]

I'm definitely not going to complain about Lester's performance today. He did all you could really ask. If he gets rid of those 3 walks, he looks like an ace out there today. I'd take this any day.

(Assuming we're facing offenses similar to that of the AAA's)

[dewystoetap]

This should be the inning for a run

[dewystoetap]

nice start by Youks!

[EllisTheRimMan]

YOUK!!!!!!

[Yazdog8]

This should be the inning for a run

YOOOOUUUUUUK!

Not a pretty slide, but I'll take it!
