Oakland A's 2008 Season Official Thread - Page 3

Welp, Johnson was DFA'd to make room for Greg Smith.

Although, I dunno why they didn't just go ahead and put Harden on the 60 day DL, since he'll probably miss his next start too. Gosh, that doesn't sound familiar at all does it?

Rich Harden - OAK

Rich Harden doesn't think he'll be ready to start Saturday after playing catch Wednesday.
Harden said the strain is under his arm on his right side and that he still feels it when he throws. If he can't go on Saturday, the A's will probably use Lenny DiNardo instead.

You gotta love 9th inning rallies.

mikev · 04-10-2008, 05:50 PM

Susan Slusser is reporting on her blog that Harden is going on the DL and Devine is getting called up, with DiNardo likely taking Harden's start on Saturday.

**update**Manager Bob Geren confirms that Devine is en route to Toronto and he's expected to land right about now (5:30 p.m. Eastern). When Devine gets here, Rich Harden will be placed on the disabled list. Geren hasn't officially named Lenny DiNardo the starter for Saturday's game at Cleveland, but he said if DiNardo isn't needed between now and then, he'd be an option.

Why baseball gods, why?

Can we just have one healthy season from Harden, just one.

We can. -It was in 2004.

Well tonight's game was sweet. Another dramatic late inning game. We are now 6-4 and have our first sweep of the season. The offense will come around it looks like. Maybe 3 runs a game is all we're gonna get, but the pitching has looked really strong through the first 10 games. Good to see Travis Buck remembered what a baseball bat is for.

mirrf · 04-11-2008, 11:49 AM

Great game. But I think the A's are going to give their fans the gift of ulcers this year. There were a lot of Blue Jays on base in the later innings that didn't score. Didn't Scutaro come up with 2 on and 1 out in the 11th? It gave me flashbacks.

mirrf · 04-11-2008, 07:50 PM

It's the 3rd inning, every A's starter has a hit, and we're up 6-1! What has got into this team?

The A's absolutely own him. Here's hoping he signs with the Angels in the offseason.

Faroo6 · 04-11-2008, 11:10 PM

Made it interesting there at the end but a nice win and we're 4-0 on the road trip so far, and in first place.

Faroo6 · 04-13-2008, 01:05 AM

Keep rollin, rollin, rollin. 8-4, two game lead in the West. I definitely didn't see this strong of a start happening this season. Let's hope they can keep it up.

Green & Gold Heart · 04-13-2008, 12:45 PM

The A's like winning when I don't watch. Should I risk watching the game today?

mirrf · 04-13-2008, 02:39 PM

Maybe because the A's have been winning because I have been paying attention. So go ahead and watch the 99 degrees below zero game in Cleveland.

Swisher is leading off? Is that normal for the ChiSox?

Faroo6 · 04-14-2008, 10:47 PM

yes. Guillen put him there because of OBP.

Green & Gold Heart · 04-14-2008, 10:54 PM

woooooo! A's win!

I had to watch on Yahoo Game Channel but Huston still made me nervous even though I couldn't see him.

Yay Kurt Suzuki 4-for-4. I heart him!

Suzuki is my starting catcher for Fantasy Baseball.

Yes, it is. It's been either him or Carlos Quentin.

So, that Haren trade is sure looking good right now...
