Why swing at a ball at the top of your feet?

He went more than Theriot did a few innings go.

Good thing there was no gatorade machine in the dugout.

Awful throw, Fukudome.

Crud. Looks like Soriano had trouble corralling that ball.

Yes Dusty, leave Arroyo in after this inning. Let him go well over 100 pitches. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Sunday afternoon (hangovers, church, etc.), general malaise with the team, and it's summer.

He's doomed.

Ahhhhhhh, it's on the wire, nm.

Is that a pigeon hanging out in front of 1B?

Dick Pole!

Holy RISP!

Bite me ump, he held.

Nice leap, Theriot.

Sweet play.

That was somewhat unexpected.

Link Doesn't sound like anything injury-related. He'll probably start tomorrow.

:roll:

Haven't they been hot after Arnett lately, too? Also, why do you think the A's would take Leake over Gibson?

Can't recall the exact sources from where I've heard that, but I remember reading not too long ago that part of the reason he wasn't able to stick at anywhere defensively was because he didn't have particularly favorable relationships with his coaches. Those sources could be wrong, of course, but it's what I heard.

The guy who was supposed to draft for the Cubs never showed up. Sickels picked for them.

To me, Kyle Gibson is the epitome of a value pick. His stress fracture is some cause for concern, but frankly, it is not as serious as problems with ligaments/tendons/muscles. When fully healthy, he's got a strong argument for being the second best pitcher in this class. With proper rest and rehab, he'll fit in quite nicely with that arsenal of arms the Athletics have at their disposal.

If it's a stress fracture, I sure as heck hope the Cubs take him. That's way, way better than any muscle/ligament/tendon damage. Video

Who? Carroll or Fox? Fox. He has a bit of a reputation of being a jerk and some people think he's uncoachable because of it. I was talking about Carroll. So the answer is both.
