why is anyone pitching to this guy right now? I have to think the A's and particularly Nick Swisher have completely revitalized the Big Hurt.

Ah who cares. We have the BIG MURT!!

The question was never if he could hit, but if he could stay healthy, and he's just managed to do that this year.

I read some quote about how watching him run is ugly, but that his swing was a thing of beauty. I don't get it, his swing looks awkward as heck right now. But I think it's cool that he's back and producing, and heading to the playoffs for a team that knows how to get cost-effective production.

watching him run is kind of funny. I don't know if his swing is awkward - he just puts the barrel on the ball and has great timing. what I really like though is how this supposed bad egg has been softened by a team of young players. it will be interesting to see how he gets pitched around in the playoffs.
