Friday 6/29/07 - Sunday 7/1/07 A's @ Yankees

[Turn 2]

I have to say Haren is the much better pitcher and will look to rebound after a few not so great starts. It won't be easy cuz Pettitte isn't no slotch either, but the way the Yankees bats have been I think Haren who is one of the top pitchers in the league can shut them down.

Hey, I'll take that. It's a lot better than that road trip that the Giants had a week or so ago...

[Providence A's]

not so great starts? The guy hasn't given up more than 3 earned runs in any of his starts this year! And he only gave up 3 earned runs 3 times. His last two starts he gave up 3 earned runs each, but he pitched 7 and 6 2/3 innings. For June he is 3 - 0 with a 2.55 ERA. Oh no!

Haren Game Log

Ok I guess I didn't make myself clear on that. What I meant is that in his mind they weren't "quality starts". His "rough outings" as he calls them are other guys best outings. I talked with Swish and he said that's exactly was Haren said after his last start.

[Providence A's]

you talked with Swish? when? how? Technically, those were quality starts (6 or more innings, 3 earned or less).

[Turn 2]

I guess if Haren doesn't shut out the team or allow less then 2 runs at least it is a bad start for him.

Swish and my bro went to the same college and were in the same fraternity thingy. I know they were quality starts, I just worded it the wrong way.

Apparently in his mind, it is. But I have faith that he'll shut down that Yankees lineup and make those guys look like fools.

[Turn 2]

It wouldn't take much to make them look the fools the way they are hitting lately.

Really? That surprises me. I played at a D1 school (no Ohio State), but they wouldn't let us join a fraternity (it was a team rule).

Oh, and feel free to send me an autograph

Oh yeah. Let's go Oakland!

It wasn't really a fraternity, (they had another word for it-I'll have to call and ask my bro what it was later) but they were both part of it. As for the autograph, I'll try my best, but it's really hard to get anything through that thick-headed Swish.

[Turn 2]

Oakland already leads the Yankees 1-0 just in the top of the 1st.

[Providence A's]

A's have bases loaded with no outs in the top of the 2nd.

edit: 2 - 0 now.

[Providence A's]

3 - 0 on a SF by Ellis. 2nd and 3rd with 2 outs now.

[Providence A's]

And Cust goes deep again! 6 - 0 A's.

[Providence A's]

Now Johnson goes deep! 8 - 0 A's.
