Nice talking to you Giant and Seaweed. I am off as well.

Seaweed · 03-29-12, 04:56 AM

0-0

BathingApe · 03-29-12, 04:59 AM

I had no score 1st inning and the A's. It's midnight in Honolulu, time to go sleep...

darrell74 · 03-29-12, 05:21 AM

Hey, the best thing about that 1,000,000 yen ($12,000 USD) its nontaxable baby!!!!

Good job Dustin

darrell74 · 03-29-12, 05:27 AM

Just got off work. Started watching in the bottom of the fourth.

Sure, its not even division contenders and its a pitchers dual.

But glad as hell that bases are back.

darrell74 · 03-29-12, 05:33 AM

Knocked down my 3rd brat

so happy bases are back

darrell74 · 03-29-12, 05:34 AM

Wheres Deep Purple 'smoke on the water' for that dinger

HoulihansTX · 03-29-12, 05:42 AM

-50000

Vargas immediately surrenders the lead in the next inning. Guy is notorious for this.

darrell74 · 03-29-12, 05:49 AM

Yeah, good thing Vargas got the hook.

I just got done looking at the depth charts for these two teams and oh my phucking goodness! Its got to be one of the worst rotations I've seen in a while.

HoulihansTX · 03-29-12, 05:54 AM

Did not matter. Someone was going to give it up. 2-1 Chokland. What a joke this game is.

darrell74 · 03-29-12, 05:54 AM

Cespedes goes yard

Anyhbody got a scouting report on this fellah, other than that he defected from Cuba

HoulihansTX · 03-29-12, 05:55 AM

He is the Cuban Version of Adam Dunn. All or nothing, Homerun or strikeout, and will never record a walk.

darrell74 · 03-29-12, 05:56 AM

Can't call them Chokers when they just took the lead, Houly

Be proper, wait for Brian Fuentes to blow this in the top of the eighth, then you can call them Choakland.

Good report

darrell74 · 03-29-12, 05:58 AM

I've always had a problem w/ George Sherrill.
Dude just looks like a judge on the Food Network of some sort. Just doesn't look like a major leaguer.

HoulihansTX · 03-29-12, 06:01 AM

love how George Sherill still can find a job, but people with talent are getting told, "We are not hiring."

Sherrill is good if you want to lose, or are already losing. He has not had MLB stuff for about 3 years now.

HoulihansTX · 03-29-12, 06:02 AM

Its no coincidence no team keeps him for more than a year.

HoulihansTX · 03-29-12, 06:02 AM

and he got yanked quick.

only the 2nd game of the season, and we already have a bullpen blowup.

darrell74 · 03-29-12, 06:03 AM

Dela-who?

HoulihansTX · 03-29-12, 06:06 AM

Look @ Sherrill's ERA, "inf." Does that mean Infinite?

darrell74 · 03-29-12, 06:09 AM

Alright, the burrito crusher stays in the eighth w a surprisingly low pitch count.
7.1 ip and 81 pitches
get that man a burrito w/ hot sauce

darrell74 · 03-29-12, 06:11 AM

that's right, mathematically it is infinity giving up 1+ runs and no outs

that dude needs some weight watchers

darrell74 · 03-29-12, 06:16 AM

How impressive would that be if Bartolo can go the distance-8 ip, 86 pitch count.
Had a no hitter going into the fifth, also.

Finish this thing off Bartolo, and you can have two burritos.

HoulihansTX · 03-29-12, 06:20 AM

another dinger, what an implosion

darrell74 · 03-29-12, 06:20 AM

I drafted Grant Balfour in my rotisserie

would love to get me a juicy save opportunity here.

Come on bring that crazy Aussie in

darrell74 · 03-29-12, 06:23 AM

Lets do this Grant!!!

HoulihansTX · 03-29-12, 06:28 AM

Wow, how many save opps will Balfour get on the A's?

Either way BOL this season.

Ez Money 77 · 03-29-12, 06:29 AM

Man didn't see this thread till right now. Posted a couple in another thread that nobody was reading. LOL I had A's in this one all in for my last $200. Feel like I got way lucky in this one. I mean this offense looked like there would be no way they would score. Nice thing is I drafted Belfour also and started him this week because he had 4 games compared to Bailey's 3 for Boston, plus wanted to root for someone on these opening games. I'm in a h/h league not roto. Way to go A's. Thank u.

darrell74 · 03-29-12, 06:31 AM

Crazy Aussie closed it down

In the starting lineup, Iricho goes by Iricho now, instead of Ichiro Suzuki.

He's gone by Ichiro for many years.

How is this guy still in the league?

dodger33 · 03-29-12, 03:16 PM

i feel like i went home from the party early and missed all the action. that game literally put me to sleep last night.
Here are my observations from the last two games. McCarthy is going to finish the year with a low 3 era. The guy commands his fastball, has a great sinker, and throws his offspeed pitches for strikes. Bartolo looked like he took a time machine to 2005. He commanded both sides of the plate with his sinker/two seem. Balfour looked terrible in game 1 and I didn't get a chance to watch his appearance last night but i am assuming its a case of the only dialed in for save opportunities. Fuentes and Sherrill will both have era's in the 5's. Dustin Ackley is going to have a good year. The guy saw the ball well and has a great swing. Cespedis swings like juan uribe but has power. Ichiro will have 200 hits and both of these teams will be lucky to get to 75 wins. The A's and M's have 2 of the worst offenses in the MLB. Expect many games much like these last two.
