Last night was pathetic...getting smacked around like that in your home opener in front of 44,815 people--have to play better than that guys...

Looks to be a pitcher's duel tonight.

[Steak]

I hope Haren can pitch like what he did in his first start of the year.

[A's Baby Girl]

Game time in a few...I'll do the thread tonight...as long as the game doesn't get out of hand

[Providence A's]

You got the lineups? Yea...I was going to do at least some of it last night, but I gave up...plus I was the only one really checking it

It's 10:00 here and I gotta be up at 7:30, so I'll probably go to bed before it's over...officially anyway

[A's Baby Girl]

i don't blame you...last night was embarassing. You don't get whooped like that in front of all those fans...a lot of the people that made up that 44 thousand plus are fickle to begin with..you have to give them a reason to continue to come out and watch the team

I'll get the lineups up in a little bit
