Harden's line ended with six innings, three hits, one ER, three walks, and nine strikeouts. Casilla picked up where he left off, striking out two of the four batters he faced.
A's still holding onto a 4-1 lead as we go to the bottom of the seventh.

Yeah, that's what I was going for

So...who do y'all like
against the top of the order in the 8th?
Nico - March 26, 2008
Start with Brown
go to DiNardo for Ortiz/Manny. Tough to hit HRs off of Lenny.
mikeA - March 26, 2008
Is Brown available?
Nico - March 26, 2008
they showed him warming up
mikeA - March 26, 2008
Is Brown Available?
I would say Foulke because of yesterday, but I get the feeling that he might have just had the one FU inning (goy Papi and Manny)
Keze - March 26, 2008
NOT Foulke
kbtoyz - March 26, 2008
Delcarmen could solve world hunger if he would grow wheat under his chin

JediLeroy - March 26, 2008
Why do they keep showing DiceK?
athleticsgirl24 - March 26, 2008
according to ESPN announcers
its because of "the world feed"
BigTuna - March 26, 2008
But that's just a line of bullshit right?
athleticsgirl24 - March 26, 2008
nope
espn and nesn were showing the exact same thing last night
senor_k - March 26, 2008
Honestly
their entire broadcast/commentary has been one big running line of it
BigTuna - March 26, 2008
ESPN is taking the japanese feed
they're not controlling the cameras

WHAAAT that was a strike?
drmmerchk - March 26, 2008
Bullshit
Major League umpiring can be a terrible joke sometimes. Rookies get squeezed, it's a fucking disgrace to the game.

WTF? How was that a strike?!?!
athleticsgirl24 - March 26, 2008
You know it's a bad call
When the ESPN crew is willing to imply Boston got a gift.
Englishmajor - March 26, 2008
Squeeze
Terrible call for strike 2

Both strikes called to Barton
were ridiculous
Nico - March 26, 2008
No, the first one was just dickulous
And the second one was re-dickulous
JediLeroy - March 26, 2008
the first maybe
The second just outrageous. Sandy Alderson should see it, that umpire has the honor of Mussolini.

I'd like to see Kendall do that
JediLeroy - March 26, 2008
I wonder how many people are thread dependent
Are we just stating the obvious or is this actually informative?
Basebal_Equals_Life - March 26, 2008
For myself, it's a bit of both
I'm in NYC, a place devoid of many A's fans, hence the thread really says little but makes me feel like I'm back in the Bay, watching with friends.
kbtoyz - March 26, 2008
I'm thread dependent since I don't have cable and the radio signal just doesn't quite reach me. It sucks too since if I drive 15 minutes south of here I can get a signal but I get nothing but static at my apartment.
Angry Sean - March 26, 2008
2 Doubles!
kbtoyz - March 26, 2008
Another double for Suzuki!
Basebal_Equals_Life - March 26, 2008
ZOOKS!!!

Lookin good, better than "TEK"
Keze - March 26, 2008
Zooks could be an All Star
if he can get enough votes from Japan!!
0akFoSho - March 26, 2008
Shouldn't be too hard since
it's his homeland right?
Keze - March 26, 2008
2 times doubles
Satchmo22 - March 26, 2008
Fiorentino gets an AB
HigherPie - March 26, 2008
I love Zook's swing
mikeA - March 26, 2008
Hey, we should pinch hit Cust here!
Nico - March 26, 2008
not available
already pinch hit
Basebal_Equals_Life - March 26, 2008
Nico was being ironical
HigherPie - March 26, 2008
sorry
I realize now that must have been hard-to-recognize internet sarcasm
Basebal_Equals_Life - March 26, 2008
suzuki is going to get like 50 endorsement deals in japan

JediLeroy - March 26, 2008
This pitcher's teeth are scary
Englishmajor - March 26, 2008
That was ball one.
Boonee - March 26, 2008
Time for a Fiorentinian Bomb!!
0akFoSho - March 26, 2008

Glad they worked on that all Spring.
FoolshGame22 - March 26, 2008

pam5981 - March 26, 2008
Fiorentino

BigTuna - March 26, 2008
what a bad casting decision, that guy looks nothing like ryan howard
xbhaskarx - March 26, 2008
It's great when two runners get their uniforms dirty
Englishmajor - March 26, 2008
on the same play
Basebal_Equals_Life - March 26, 2008
come on buck
break through
Spidz34 - March 26, 2008
WHY???
do they keep showing that same Manny Homerun??
polytician - March 26, 2008
I want to see the Hanny Homerun...
not the Manny Homerun.
FoolshGame22 - March 26, 2008
DOH!
polytician - March 26, 2008
Buck looks
lost.
Syphon - March 26, 2008
Man
Buck is seriously struggling.
HigherPie - March 26, 2008
It's all the honey & sunshine.
Poppy - March 26, 2008
Maybe he's diabetic
athleticsgirl24 - March 26, 2008
Steal 2nd Fiorintino..... Vai, Vai, Vai!!!
Bravisimo!!
0akFoSho - March 26, 2008
Why do they keep showing that damn Manny homer?
Well at least the ESPN guys acknowledged it this time.
Boonee - March 26, 2008
3 more outs!
Basebal_Equals_Life - March 26, 2008
I can't fuckin' believe BSPN played Manny's run again
right after Kurt's run
oaklandSMASH - March 26, 2008
It's the Japanese feed.
They acknowledged it this time around, so it's starting to make a little more sense.
Boonee - March 26, 2008
Oh, TBuck... :(
drmmerchk - March 26, 2008
No whammies! No Whammies! No whammies
3 outs and we win!!!
athleticsgirl24 - March 26, 2008
Stop!!!
Big Winner!!
0akFoSho - March 26, 2008
I know he just made the third out, but
Big Bucks!
Basebal_Equals_Life - March 26, 2008
more exciting?
the fiorentino RBI, and the near third out?
Or emil taking it to brown town?
sourstuff - March 26, 2008
Second sentence
frightening image
oaklandSMASH - March 26, 2008
Lowell, Moss, Varitek
HigherPie - March 26, 2008
Ok, the fantasy baseball commercial was funny
athleticsgirl24 - March 26, 2008
I'm late to the party
or early, but what the heck.
LET'

doctorK - March 26, 2008

Sean Casey on deck
HigherPie - March 26, 2008
Over/Under on the Manny HR highlight for the 9th inn

0akFoSho - March 26, 2008
Base hit :-(
HigherPie - March 26, 2008
Oy
baseballnut020 - March 26, 2008
I'm too nervous to watch and follow this on here
athleticsgirl24 - March 26, 2008
Not Again!!
0akFoSho - March 26, 2008
Mighty Casey at bat
JediLeroy - March 26, 2008
i think we're going to need...
that extra run.
FoolshGame22 - March 26, 2008
please
7 minutes and we're the hell outta here, we should have swept these chumps.
paradox - March 26, 2008
absolutely...
we should be 4-0 on this Japan trip.
FoolshGame22 - March 26, 2008
and, favored to win the AL West...
;-)
FoolshGame22 - March 26, 2008
If Buck goes 0 for 5 every game
the A's will have a great season.
Nico - March 26, 2008
John?
HigherPie - March 26, 2008
It's ok, we got the insurance run!
and they're in the wrong part of their order. Thorne is thanking the production crew. Have faith!
Basebal_Equals_Life - March 26, 2008
Thanking them for all the shots of Manny?
Nico - March 26, 2008
it would appear as such
Basebal_Equals_Life - March 26, 2008
DPDPDPDPDPDPDPDPDPDP PLEASE!!!
baseballnut020 - March 26, 2008
You called it
oaklandSMASH - March 26, 2008
Have Thorne and Phillips been sucking as bad a yesterday?
doctorK - March 26, 2008
unfortunately, yes
Basebal_Equals_Life - March 26, 2008
No, they more or less just kind of suck today
With just a hint of swallowing
athleticsgirl24 - March 26, 2008
I can't watch the TV...
I'm too scared.... I'll just read the thread...
polytician - March 26, 2008
That's a good way to avoid reality
JediLeroy - March 26, 2008
Embree's velocity looks a tic lower than yesterday
mikeA - March 26, 2008
Thats cause he's clean....
0akFoSho - March 26, 2008
That's ok - Embree doesn't rely much on his fastball
Nico - March 26, 2008
he just wants casey to have a fighting chance
xbhaskarx - March 26, 2008
Sean Casey PH
Basebal_Equals_Life - March 26, 2008
I just decided that Steve Phillips isn't too bad.
But Gary Thorne really is a low-talent windbag.
Mark H - March 26, 2008
OOGA BOOGA
mikeA - March 26, 2008
Have faith
oaklandSMASH - March 26, 2008
man that kazuo matsui injury in the ticker is kinda disturbing
isn't there some doctor-patient confidentiality?

Are the advertisements on the uniforms going to stay once back in the U.S.? My guess is no, but I'm still curious.
Double Play! One more!
Boonee - March 26, 2008

Awful, cheap, tawdry, sleazy.
paradox - March 26, 2008

they're only there because ricoh, emc, and pepsi are paying a ridiculous sum to put them there.

Basebal_Equals_Life - March 26, 2008

Is it total bases?
0akFoSho - March 26, 2008
yep
HigherPie - March 26, 2008
total bases
Basebal_Equals_Life - March 26, 2008

or someone needs a chest x-ray
doctorK - March 26, 2008
1 strike away...
HigherPie - March 26, 2008
No whammies! No Whammies! No whammies
athleticsgirl24 - March 26, 2008

Big Bucks!!
0akFoSho - March 26, 2008
since we're the 1st team to play in the west -- are we in 1st?
polytician - March 26, 2008
yeah, we're in first, technically
All the other teams are 0 games back, but we'd be called first place because of actually playing games.

Syphon - March 26, 2008
I'm predicting 10K
and a color laser printer for Rich Harden
pam5981 - March 26, 2008
He deserves it.
Also, Emil Brown has a 1-1 record this season.
HigherPie - March 26, 2008
HAH!
No, Manny will get another one for that solo HR.
Poppy - March 26, 2008
STRUCK HIM OUT

Great start to a day
No better way, in fact. Yeah, I mean it.

The Red Sux should know
our rag tag bunch beat them today and should have beat them esterday.
BE AFRAID!!
oaklandSMASH - March 26, 2008
I feel good...
We shoulda had 2 win. But we played well and earned some respect I hope.
Syphon - March 26, 2008
Just awesome
athleticsgirl24 - March 26, 2008

hi, my name is A. My guess is we'll see each other a lot this year. Let's flirt.
sourstuff - March 26, 2008
The Silence is Deafining!!
0akFoSho - March 26, 2008
That's a relief -
What with all the preseason predictions, I was worried the A's might go winless this season.
Nico - March 26, 2008
Thanks again BBG!
HigherPie - March 26, 2008
Thanks for reminding us
Thank you, bbg, great job.
paradox - March 26, 2008
At least they played "celebration"
kbtoyz - March 26, 2008
They did?
I didn't hear it.
Poppy - March 26, 2008
you could make it out as ESPN went to commercial
kbtoyz - March 26, 2008
Anyone going to listen to the A's?
Probably not
athleticsgirl24 - March 26, 2008
Who?
Nico - March 26, 2008
Oh you mean the team the Red Sox were playing
When Manny hit that HR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nico - March 26, 2008
Did we just win a home game
Cause Francona is speaking on the field!!
0akFoSho - March 26, 2008
the Red Sox...
got the Home Team locker room, if you can believe that. Apparently, even that is pretty spartan.
FoolshGame22 - March 26, 2008
enough time to sleep for one hour!!!!!!
pam5981 - March 26, 2008
Thank god.
Now I can take off my lucky snorkel and lederhosen.

And I can put mine on and go to work....
Nico - March 26, 2008
ahh good game thread
good morning everyone! time to sleep!
BigTuna - March 26, 2008
Holy crap
they actually showed some A's fans
doctorK - March 26, 2008
Fucking announcers
They stay silent for francona but speak all over our manager when they get the chance.
oaklandSMASH - March 26, 2008
Nice!
I'm loving the little A's section shown on the feed.
Take care everyone and I'm sure I'll be back for more soon!
Boonee - March 26, 2008
Screen shot of a bunch of A's fans
Just as ESPN cut the feed. Predictable. Can someone post the shot with the sign about the underground railroad?
Englishmajor - March 26, 2008
Hey, we won...they can't handle it.
