A Baseball Post

Nick Swisher was suspended 3 games last night for charging the mound. Hes. So. Freaking. Awesome. And to Vincente Padilla -- Swisher works out in the offseason by pushing farm trailers up and down hills. Please do not fuck with him again.

I cant believe my oakland a's this season. What a fall from grace. To say the least! But there are positives. For example, we can see Rich Harden one last time. Hopefully he wont get injured. Umm, AGAIN. But, the a's are doing something pretty cool. This is something they usually do but with the crappiness of this season, its like giving visual hope to their fans. They have been playing all the big name prospies that are chillin in Sacremento just waiting to be called up for real. Beane needs to figure out what hes doing with all these people. Why he didnt make a deal for someone with another someone this season isnt too beyond me, but he has all these big name guys, seasoned veterans, who are constantly getting injured or, in Eric Chavez's case not performing up to potential and he has to figure out some way to move them. He usually does the huge collasall trade of a huge name (ahemmmm Mark Mulder, Time Hudson) but I dont think he can do it this time around. Hudson and Mulder were not yet on their big name/money contracts so the Braves/Cards didnt mind so much taking the chance. The chance worked out more favorably for the Braves obvi but thats a whole other post. Mulder will still be my favorite of the big three, no matter how friggen crappy his numbers get. Althouhg, I for sure know, that I will be sitting around watching TV in October and there wont even be a flash of green and gold. ::sadness:: Doesnt mean I'm not going to wear my oakland a's hat to breakfast on saturday.

Oh and to Marc Staal -- I know you're a Ranger and as a result, I have to like (you too stupid silly hateyouuu Scott Gomez) but you are still a Staal. And it will take me a season to figure out what will triumph over the other but for now...holy crap. You are damn good. <3 Priya.
