"Kendall on Harden's changeup :
"I don't even know that I'd call it a changeup," he said. "I don't know what I'd call it."

Does the thing blink or something?

"Yeah," Kendall said with a smile. "It does. ... Just call it 'incredible,' because that's what it is. That's what he is. ... He has command of all four of his pitches [changeup, fastball, breaking ball, splitter], and all four of them are dominant. "

How bout them A's! L 6-1, W 1-0, W 7-6

Fuck Ricardo Rincon. I was so fucking pissed when he came in, and I was about to fucking explode after he gave up that HR. I've never heard so many A's fans boo an A's player.

Harden said his velocity still isn't where he'd like it to be because of his healing blister...... He said this after hitting 94-95 MPH all night.

Harden is becoming one hell of a pitcher

i remember when he first came up all he really had was that heater - given it was hitting in the high 90's, he never really had any other pitches. But now, it looks like he's mixing and matching and really keeping hitters off balance.

yeah, i was at the game today...i cant believe scutaro hit that, that was sick...that was just a hell of a game, and im so glad they beat the fucking Angels...im glad Lackey didnt get the win, i hate that guy, and Esteban Yan is garbage. Street did pretty well...he'll get better and better. and that double that swish hit was sick.

Watch... They're going to keep putting Street in every time there's an opportunity... If he keeps it up, Dotel will probably get traded around July.

Where were you at today? I was in 219. We usually sit up there second deck behind home plate. A bunch of us are going to a game on Tuesday the 26th against the White Sox... Mark 7, 6 Footah, Mars, hella fools are going, I bought 14 tickets for us all together for that game... If you can get out there I'll let you know where we're sitting, there are still hella available tickets right where we are are sitting at. If you wanna go and are getting two tickets, I can give you a buy one get one free coupon, but you gotta get the ticket at the box office.

we were way up, we bought the upper deck tickets, like in 307...we usually buy cheap tickets and sit in right field, behind the barbecue plaza, or whatever thats called. i went to like 15-20 games lats year and never paid more than 8 bucks, usually paid 2 or 4...i'll let u know whats up, if i can go to that game, i'd like to go...


edit: street will get a lot of time, he's already appeared in half their games, u can tell they want to develop him.


also, they should bring dan johnson up, but i know they really like hatteberg at first.

They should bring him up, send down Kielty, and have Johnson DH until Durazo figures out whatever is wrong with him.

street is gonna be well known around the league with a month or two because he will only get more playinging time...

the al west is the toughest division in baseball right now... a half game separates all four teams...

i managed to make it to the opening day at the colisseum and hopefully i'll make it to many games this year now that I moved up from la... i'll probably make it to a bunch of giants games as well being that my new job is like 50ft from the ballpark...

man, u couldnt hae said it better...they should just dump kielty, but for some reason, billy beane really likes him. how could u think of trading byrnes and not kielty? and sending him down would be so much more of a better option than keeping him, because u have charles thomas that can fill in for byrnes and swisher, since theyre both more reliable than kielty. if they bring johnson up, they can switch him more efficiently between him and durazo or hatteberg.


and the "hammer"? lol....nah, we only sat in the upper deck today because it was too packed to move anywhere else.


i have been on the jumbotron however, for throwing shit at gary mathews jr. last year when i was up at mt. davis and mt. davis was closed off, lol.

Funny shit, at a glance...four pages for "early baseball obsevations," and the season is 10 games in...IT'S A MARATHON YOU A-HOLES! Wake me up after 81 games, and give me a stat rundown...otherwise, save all your prognostications for the trade deadline in your rote league...and realize that the Giants, even with their suspect pen, have the league leader in hitting...as well as the 2nd place RBI man, and neither of their names are Barry Bonds, or Moises Alou...aaaaaaaaaand they're still playing .500 ball....

"Look at wood on tha dash....look at screens....listen to tha sat-el-ite"

"I WILL BE BACK" -Barry Bonds...opening day 2005...yatta-ta-yatta-ta-yatta-ta-talkin'bout?

Fuckin' Lackey. Who didn't see that shit coming? It sucks to outscore ya opponent 12-9, yet lose 2 of the 3 games. If it wasn't for Washburn and Colon we'd probably only have 2-3 wins right now.
