Open Thread: Game 115 - A's at Texas

bashing of Geren from the players but, if you can believe it, no names were mentioned. Kotsay was the mole last year so it wouldn't surprise me if he had trouble keeping his opinion to himself again.

He really doesn't deserve to play right now based on performance.

ohtobe21likehuston - August 8, 2007 reply

He is injured

Radio said he strained his back diving for a catch on Sunday. Target return is at the Tigers Sunday upcoming.

According to comments on MLB Traderumors

The Cubs claimed Shannon Stewart on Waivers, per Bruce Levin on ESPN 1000.

So we'll see if its true, and if so, if a deal can be made.

Who would we be able to get from the Cubs? Dare I pray for Pie?

Zonis - August 8, 2007 reply

Pie would be sweet. Pun intended.

Sean Marshall?

Nico - August 8, 2007 reply

We need Pie AND a Pony!

Englishmajor - August 8, 2007 reply

So now we know why DJ is in the lineup, we

have no more outfielders.

theblackpearl - August 8, 2007 reply

Bleed Cubbie Blue

Is already discussing the news on Stew

SwisherThresher - August 8, 2007 reply

He's on the 40 man roster and would

never clear waivers. I fear this is just going to be another nothing trade.

OldhamA - August 8, 2007 reply

If he was claimed by the Cubs, the A's have 3

options

Pull Shannon off Waivers

Negotiate a trade

Let Shannon be claimed

With Shannon, only making 1Mil, the A's won't just let him go for free.

theblackpearl - August 8, 2007 reply

I meant, we'll get jack for him if we trade him.

OldhamA - August 8, 2007 reply

Actually, Pie wouldn't have to clear waivers

He'd just have to make it far enough for Oakland to claim him, then we could trade.

That means he'd have to get past Tampa Bay, Texas, Kansas City, White Sox, and Baltimore.

Yeah, still not gonna happen.

Sounds doubtful to me. I'd gladly give Stewart for Pie even if we pay Stewart's salary. Heck, I'd throw in Kotsay, too.

You could have bought any of their fitted hats for $10 but they would only let a certain number of people in at a time. It was a complete f'n ZOO and then they closed right when I sprtsnwyn and I were heading in to make a purchase.

looking at his stats, they don't look too good.

He's your standard backup catcher.

I'd rather have Jeremey Brown, especially with a "defense minded" primary catcher. Brown can play 3B as well, anyways.

You need to look at underlying issues before you condem someone. That's ok though we can choose to disagree but I'll take Bowen anyday

I don't think Bowen is any big prize but I

definitely prefer him over Brown. I've seen Brown play several times and I don't think he has that much upside. He hesitantly signed my Moneyball copy.

We will all look forward to seeing you

at the tailgate or do you mean AN Day V in Oakland? Or both?

tailgate.

I want to go to ST and opening day. We'll see what the $$ is like around that time.

Jennifer - August 8, 2007 reply

I will probably pay stay in touch on dates

for ST. Didn't you say Poppy and yourself were looking at March 10th? I always go to the Final Four so that will play an important role in when I head to Phoenix.

Can I stay in your wing of the mansion?

Jennifer - August 8, 2007 reply

Do you mean at my buddy's house?

It's not a mansion but it's about 4000 sqft so you can stretch your legs out.

ohtobe21likehuston - August 8, 2007 reply

I'm thinking about not even getting a hotel.

Get there... baseball during the day... party at night. I'll rinse off at the stadium or something. Maybe shave my head so I don't have to worry about what my 'do looks like. I might purchase some Febreze.

That cracks me up because of McFood's

post about Sinead O'Connnor. He is one funny guy and I wish I could have talked to him more on AN Day. It was overwhelming trying to talk to everyone.

4000 sq. ft. is UNREAL to me.

My house is 1600 sqft and it seems small.

I realize that if I moved to California than I would be downsizing quite a bit. Oh well... I probably wouldn't have a lawn and trees to take care of so that would be nice.

My last girlfriend had a 6000 sqft house but she

was a total b**** and I don't really miss her much.

ohtobe21likehuston - August 8, 2007 reply

Dude

but square footage is important!

pam5981 - August 8, 2007 reply

This is really enticing. Really.

pam5981 - August 8, 2007 reply

Come on over to KC.

You can stay at a hotel right across the street and drink as many beers as you like!

ohtobe21likehuston - August 8, 2007 reply

There's more than one hotel

right across the street. :)

Jennifer - August 8, 2007 reply

and "Denny's" sometimes. It was closed for

a while last year.

ohtobe21likehuston - August 8, 2007 reply

You can't drink beer at Denny's...

can you?

pam5981 - August 8, 2007 reply

I don't see why not.

Jennifer - August 8, 2007 reply

Nope but the hotel has a bar that is open late.

Hell our tailgate wrapped up around 1:00 a.m. if I remember correctly. It's like security doesn't give a shit. In Oakland they kill the lights while Celebration is still playing.

ohtobe21likehuston - August 8, 2007 reply

The hotel across the street is awesome

and feel free to watch our video for further enticement.
