2009 Oakland Athletics Season Thread:Rickey Henderson in Cooperstown...No. 24 Jersey Retired 8/1

Aw man...why would they show the game on 89? It's not like a Sharks, Warriors or Giants game is on 40. That blows (I don't have digital).

The A's aren't going to be shown on CSN Bay Area. Most of their games will be broadcast on CSN CA.

0-1

Braden pitched aight. Got no run support.
Looks like we're still going to hit a bunch of double-plays and leave a %*!$ load of runners on base

Hopefully, Holliday doesn't get off to a slow start. He only had 1 extra base hit in spring training (a double) and only a single today.
 
That definitely wasn't how I wanted to see the season started but it is a long season. The offense is going to have to get it together early, especiallywith all these young pitchers.
 
Man, that was frustrating to watch. So many opportunities, but at least Braden had an okay start, especially since he's not meant to be our ace starter.

But CHAVEZ! That bat was popping tonight! Maybe he really is back to his old form?

they need some time to mesh

Braden wasn't too bad, this one definitely wasn't his fault

Let's hope so. I hope Cahill impresses and we get a little work from Giambi. That was a bad season opener.

Anyone know where I can find a stream for this game or listen to it live? It won't be on FSN West because the Dodger game is on.

What's your cable/satellite provider?

I'm actually located in San Luis Obispo. We have Charter. Angel games are usually on FSN West but the Dodgers play on there today so the Angels are onKCOP, but I don't think I get that.

Matt Holliday is out of the lineup Tuesday night with a "non-baseball related condition."

Holliday is at the ballpark, but he's resting with an illness. Travis Buck is playing left field with Jack Cust in right field and Nomar Garciaparra back at first base again.
 
This is ridiculous. Are you serious? Lead of double, with the top of the lineup and you can't even move him to 3rd?
smh.gif
It's early but this offenseneeds to start meshing...
 
Cust is the worst %*#@@$# OF'er in the world. This dude never learns. USE TWO %*#@@$# HANDS. I know it was a long run, but get the $!!% outta here. That isa routine play.
 
COME ON TREVOR!!!!

I BELIEVE IN YOU!

Edit: Who's going to opening night at the Coliseum? I thought about it, but I'm going to try to catch the Red Sox the next week.
 
Giambi

Man, it is weird seeing Nomar in an A's jersey. I like the pick-up tho.


edit:
win numero uno!

Great win! Loving all those hits on the board, though I would have been happier with less runners stranded on base (Garciaparra!)

Tomorrow looks winnable too, let's do it!
 
It's nice to get that first W out of the way. The offense looked a lot better as the game went along, which is nice to see. We got to keep the strandedrunners to a minimum tho. Cust needs to practice A LOT on defense. I ain't expecting no gold glove defense, but c'mon
laugh.gif
. Every time the ball is hitto him, I hold my breath (I can't be the only one
laugh.gif
). He just looks so uncomfortable in the OF. Cahill worked out of a lot of jams, which was nice tosee. I'm surprised they let him go over 100 pitches, hopefully he has better control next time out.
 
Nice win tonight. Love to see that # of hits! I like Cahill and think he looked really decent tonight. And I agree, Cust needs to play some better D!

Go A's!

Cust isn't a defensive specialist, he's more of a DH, but I know exactly what you mean. Every time a routine pop up goes towards him I getso nevous

. I would much rather see Giambi at 1B, Cust at DH, Hollidayin LF, Sweeney in CF and Buck in RF. Hopefully Travis will have a good year like he did in 07.
