Cool. Swisher needs to have a big game for my fantasy team.

It's time for Dan Haren to put this team on his back and have a strong outing.

Sorry for the bland game thread.... I'll do better for the next series :D

As I said in the M's game thread...the A's are a team I ultimately despise but thoroughly respect. Combine Beane's GM skills with the M's payroll and you'd have quite a team. Instead, the M's just make me sad...

I really, really, really, really want the M's to take this game. Being so completely owned by the A's last year was embarrassing...I'd like for the M's to show that they remember what happened last year and that they kinda don't want to see it happen again.

winning 17 out of 19 last year was insane. lol

17-2 vs the M's, 76-67 vs everyone else.

I'd love to see the ideal playoff game type game from Haren...

7 IP from Haren
1 IP from Calero/Duke (setup)
1 IP from Street (closer)

Would be a great way to start the season. I have a feeling, and I dont know why, that Milton Bradley is they key to our success this year.

Just got off work... not looking good for our offense.

Our team is making Felix look completely unhittable... I wish we had just one really good hitter. Haven't had one since the Giambi / Miggy days...

King Felix is ON. He'd make every team in the league look stupid today.

He is, but he's left a few hanging breaking balls... I saw Piazza and Chavez just watch them.

I hate to blame one guy for a loss, but its hard not too in this case.

Marco Scutaro > Bobby Crosby

I hope we manage to score a few runs for Joe Blanton today. It's time to bounce back with a win. Go A's!

Game 2 has begun... hopefully our bats are awake today.

Well as Im packing to go away for the next few days... I had hoped to see an A's win, but barring something miraculous, I won't....

Very disappointing start to the season, although I'm loving Milton Bradley's stroke this year.
