Blake Taylor and Chris Devenski are going on the IL with elbow soreness, per Dusty Baker. Humberto Castellanos and Chase DeJong are being recalled.

The bullpen without Taylor is Pressly and friends.

The bullpen without Taylor is Pressly and friends. Dusty wore his friends out in Anaheim and blew a DH with Pressly sitting on his ass in the pen. |

They’re just going to keep giving up runs, are they? Murphy has been ice cold recently.

I hate to say it but these games are too important for them not to warm someone up already.

Now, who should warm up is up for discussion.

I blame our bullpen problems on nathangarza. He had his head up his ass and didn't get us any trades at the deadline.

Unless Crane opens the checkbook and signs free agents, this team will not be a playoff team next season........we will struggle to get in this season. |

I’ve got to give it to Javier. After that ugly inning, he got to pitch five innings.

The offense is back to its old ways tonight. We get two hits, get two outs, and then leave both runners.........it's a pattern. |

They’re going to lose again. Toro and Garneau looked like they hit homers but both were warning track fly balls. The postseason is slipping away, but the team doesn’t seem to care.

They take strikes, hit pitcher’s pitches, hit grounders to the shift, etc. Exactly. It is just plain stupid to pull the ball into the shift with the other side of the infield wide open. Springer reached for an outside pitch and tapped it into the shift. They take too many strikes with RISP....you are dead right. I knew Dusty had thrown in the towel when he bring in Sneed to pitch the 8th. To nobody's surprise, that piece of crap gave up the same number of runs in the inning that the A's had scored in the first seven. Sneed turns a 3-0 lead into a 6-0 lead by putting the ball in the middle of the zone. The A's showed patience at the plate all night and didn't try to pull everything like our guys do. I realize it is not Baker's fault that we have a young, inexperienced pen,but, he does a lousy job of knowing when to use what he has. Sneed needs to be gone. We should never see him, Biagini, or Devenski again,but,I am sure we will. Why they keep those three worthless clowns is a mystery. |

I had no problem with keeping Harris. But, you know he will kill us in the post-season. He always has. No way to I ever want to see a piece of crap like Giles in an Astros uniform again. I think it is funny that the A's set their pitching so Fiers does not pitch in a five game series. Of course, they would claim that is just how it worked out........BS, they didn't want that spineless SOB to face us. |
