OK Fatso we need you to hold it down tonight and hopefully we have some outfielders that aren't still in the latter stages of puberty.

Go A's!!

[s.dot88]

you gotta be kidding me

Blanton deals, outside a few mistakes

this offense is just depleted and pathetic right now

[A'sDiehard]

Yeah that sucked. Blanton had been enjoying very strong run support before last night.

Welp let's hope we can get a W today and like I said we just need to hang in there until we get our horses back.

Go A's!!

[Providence A's]

Johnson is back...they sent Melhuse to AAA. Swisher will be out for a few days. We need to start hitting. This has been very frustrating so far.

[s.dot88]

we just gotta remember its a marathon, not a sprint

once Swisher and Bradley, im sure things will start to heat up offensively

and once Harden and Loaiza get back, we can move some guys into the bullpen and solidify the pitching

all these injuries, and we're still atop the division

thats sort of a positive

[A'sDiehard]

2-1 A's in the bottom of the 5th.

[Providence A's]

3 - 2 M's now...the pen has sucked lately.

[A'sDiehard]

Calero just gave up a 2-run shot and it's 3-2 Mariners.

Calero sucks this year.

[Porter]

Im guessing the law of averages are catching up. 4-1 vs the A's this season. And how in the hell did Miguel Batista get near a quailty start?

[Providence A's]

nah, it's called injuries...2 of our starting 9 should be in AA

[Porter]

We had 3 AAA pitchers to trot out there and we dont have Felix at the moment. Injuries isn't the greatest reason.

[Providence A's]

AAA > AA

We're missing:
Harden
Swisher
Bradley
Kotsay
Loaiza

so yea, injuries do play a major role when your entire starting OF is on the DL and 2 of your starters are out, too.

[Porter]

Im being generous with Weaver...

who is 0-3 with a 13.91 ERA and 2.45 WHIP and a .436 OPP BA right now.

or Willie Bloomquist whos a great 1 for 10 this season with a .282 OPS.

or the Team .303 OBP they had going into the game.
