Jack Cust, back to the bigs!

Numbers are good way to try to predict how a player will do. But the best way is still to see them with your own eyes.

What you see w/your own eyes can be just as deceiving unless you are there every night.

[Why Not?]

Cust just hit a walkoff homer. Seriously, this is comic book territory here.

3 run jack in a tied game.

Yeah, this is really starting to get Marvel-esque.

My fantasy team is reaping the benefits of the Orioles' stupidity. Cust and John Maine.

You can not stop JAck Cust you can only hope to contain him by keeping him at triple AAA.

Jack Cust hit a three-run homer off Fernando Cabrera with two outs in the bottom of the ninth to give the A's a 10-7 win over the Indians on Sunday.

Barry Bonds, David Ortiz, Vladimir Guerrero... There are some major league hitters you just can't let beat you in the late innings of a close game. Chief among them all, however, is almost certainly Jack Cust. Cust would have gotten his chance years ago, but every GM in baseball knew that to use him was to risk shaking the very foundation of the game. That Cust has had to wait until 28 for regular playing time will probably prevent him from reaching 1,000 career homers, which is a shame. Still, 500 is very much in reach, perhaps by the end of the season.

Haha. I nearly choked on the the beefaroni I was eating when I read this. Classy stuff:)

Well all Colorado got for him was Chris Richard if that makes anyone feel better

All we got for him was nothing.

[Flosman]

All we got for him was nothing.

What do you expect for a guy that is always falling down?

[geschinger]

All we got for him was nothing.

But to be fair let's look at some teams we'd all agree are better run that the O's...

all the A's got for him was nothing.

all the Padres got for him was nothing.

The A's got a second chance and it worked out, but much like the Orioles before this year both the Athletic and Padre organizations didn't think he was worth holding on to.

[RayFink1e]

I tried to be optimistic. Its kind of tough. But I gave it a shot
