How long can I appropriately mourn not signing Cespedes?”
Til we get Justin Upton:….so forever

I agree
Tonight, all affiliated members of Team Greedy get a roll call. I’m heading out for now but fear not.. I shall be back in time to start this game off properly: Greed is good.
Not Detroit.
I love baseball games, any games, but this one is a doozy.
Dang…I thought they started in Oakland.
My remote is smoking, DET-OAK, Freddy Funk on the Seniors tour, big car race at Talladega, Giants-Browns, Falcons-Skins, et al. Fine day in sports, and I’m exhausted, even before the only game that counts!
This is a circular lineup. I couldn’t have done a better job myself..It’s got the smell of a winner..
Lets go Yanks!!
Lets go CC!!!!
Lets get it on!!!
Score early & often—-!!!
The Lineup is perfect. It should stay the exact same vs a lefty with nunez replacing ibanez as the only change.
Damned Tigers, but man, that was a great ballgame!
Lol
I guess 2-3 format works great on better team! Thanks, MLB.
Anyway oak sucks
RAB saying Gardner starting???
Ichiro hurt?!?!
Ugh, just saw correction, thank god!
Oakland is not out of it by and means. I don’t think the tigers make it out of the oakland.co stadium or whatever the heck its called these days. A’s will take care of business at home and sweep the final three.
Joe going for the throat.
i love the lineup i think arod and swisher are both in a great position to do damage.
david wilson goes into the end zone untouched, the giants game is over and its all about the yankees from here on out…
i like the lineup. i would switch swisher and tex and russel and raul if i had a say but overall i’m really pleased
Let’s go Yanks!
Love it!!
Wish Jones was playing though. Love his bat
KIDDING!!!!
Two hours! LETS GO!!
surprised Chen isn’t going at the Stadium.
thought we could see 3 leftys there, if nec.
I love this lineup….
I like the lineup. One disappointment with the 25-man Playoff roster – I feel bad for Cody Eppley. I think he is more reliable (against righties) than Chamberlain. Joba has location issues and has permittrd many inherited runners to score in his limited appearances
I can’t post a link at the moment, but there’s a good article on RAB about how teams don’t try to steal or run on Balt’s OF arms.
Surpirsed were not seeing Eric Chavez get the start, given Raul’s clutch PH ability late in the game…

I hope you’re right, Tabbert – Go A’s!
btw – the A’s play at the Coliseum …
one of the rare stadiums that hasn’t ever changed its name
LathamJoe – it may have to do with Joba’s greater ability to get a strike out than Eppley. That, and Eppley is more of righty specialist.
Detroit has got to be the luckiest team in baseball
