A's Series

[Moose Milligan]

4/10:  Sears vs. Gibson

4/11:  Muller vs. G-Rod

4/12:  Waldichuck vs. Kremer

4/13:  TBD vs. Irvin

Part of me thinks we should take 2/3 from the A's as they're not the most talented group around, but they're also throwing 3 lefties at us this series so who knows WTF that'll do.

We need to sweep, simple as that. Expectations are that we are a contending team. Contend, then. Beat the bad teams.

It all starts with game one.  Gibson has been solid for us.  He gets a good matchup here.  The bats can't get lulled to sleep and let the pressure mount.

I think it’s already clear this year that this is not a contending team.

A sweep would be nice but we need 3 of 4.  Saying we need to sweep is just silly.

Fine. I personally need them to sweep. For my mental health. Better?

I think that's a ridiculous statement to make after 9 games.

Dude, are you serious, this pitching staff makes me want to go to Vegas and drown my sorrows in hookers. It's that terrible.

Sir, you don't need Vegas for that.  Just Essex.

Darell Hernaiz 2-for-7 with a walk in his first couple AA games this year.

At the MLB level, Nick Allen was never much of a roadblock but maybe even more so as he seems to be a young SS playing backup to Aledmys Diaz.

Kevin Smith of the Maryland Terrapins back in the Seth Brown roster spot, and the SS position tonight.
