4/15 O's at A's

[jasmith85]

Alright fellas, here's the latest from Jiwon Bang, Koji's interpreter:

Koji's hamstring is still a little sore due to his personal masseuse being just a tad too rough last night.

The pollen level is much too high currently to do any running or stretching so we'll have to hold off on that.

Koji is worried that the forecasted thunderstorms tomorrow will bring humid air which will prohibit him from doing any throwing.

Koji is also dealing with personal issues in which the Uehara family cat is fighting a battle with obesity, and Koji may have to return to Japan to be with his family during this tough time.

More to come.

Wow, sounds serious. I'll pray for him.

Whats the reason for it? Blackout?

Its in the FOX Saturday timeslot and FOX didnt want to air it and the A's didnt change the time, so no TV for either team. Dumb rule..

[LA2]

Oh:eek: My:eek: God:eek:

What happened?

[Art Wing]

If the game pretty much ends up the way it is now, Trembley ought to bench as many players as possible and fill the field with Tatum, Lugo, Turner, etc.

Pie, CF

Turner, 2B

Markakis, RF

Tejada, 3B

Scott, LF

Wigginton, 1B

Atkins, DH

Izturis, SS

Tatum, C

We should just forfeit.

Over/Under Orioles run total today: one

Over/Under Athletics margin of victory: seven

How in the world did this happen? In my most pessimistic days I wouldn't predict this team to start this way.

I don't know how this team can live with itself right now. Come on, guys.

I can't imagine why.

Hahahahahha,:rofl: One of my favorite posts ever.

Especially the one about his cat. – I owe you and a lot more people rep from this thread alone.

I think since Trembley didnt pull Jones after he missed the cutoff man, you can now officially add me to the "Fire Trembley" club. That was the last straw for me. He hold NO ONE accountable for anything they do.

[LA2]

We should just forfeit.

By the way, that is my suggested lineup for *tomorrow*

[Marvin]

I think we should just put the entire 25 man roster on the DL, call up the entire Norfolk Tides roster and see how they do for 15 days.

LOL @ Jones trying to tell Samuel his sob story. That was Samuel right?

edit: couldn't have been. Samuel is at 3rd base. Who was that guy Jones was crying to, I know him but can't place his name.

Add: Nice double by Markakis. Can we get something going?!?

I can't imagine why.

I bet the Fox announcers threatened to quit or kill themselves if they were assigned to that game.

The book's definitely not out on him. He's still very young and very talented. But I don't believe he's doing enough to be the guy in CF, especially when we have Pie and Reimold vying for playing time. Playing time should be split up more evenly between the three.

He's got to find some way to stop biting at every single breaking ball thrown within 4 or 5 feet of the plate.

The "book" meaning pitchers know how to pitch effectively to him, nothing to to do with his defense.

His inability to lay off sliders and other crap out of the zone is probably well known. I don't know if he will ever see a fastball over the plate again.

I can.....
