Your pitching matchup is Bannister versus Lee.
Yes, Cliff Lee has been gifted with yet another matchup against the Royals. Tonight marks the 8th time in his last 43 starts that he'll face the Royals.
(The Game Thread will be in the fanposts during the Draft, just so you know. Hope to see people all over the place...)

i was hoping that he had gone back to his “pitch-to-contact” style that actually had a chance of being effective, though non-traditional. it seems he has to some extent, but with mixed results

I actually really liked his confounding STAT lines, and his non-traditional approach. When it worked, it worked, and just made you sit and wonder. But sometimes it goes horrible wrong.

He's imitating Christy Mathewson.
He had a game where he got the first two, gave up two singles, then got the third out for 7 straight innings. Then apparently got bored and retired the last six. 14 hit complete game shutout. Dead ball era sorta helped that out.

Are you trying to say Jesus Christ couldn't hit a curveball?
If you were thinking, you wouldn't have thought that.

Terrible
In one day, a sink into last, and a rub-in-face lost draft pick.

Crow is going to be good for us
why you think not? We got him at a lower slot than the Nationals with a year of more experience

Whatever guys
We drafted a pitcher that can make our rotation in 2010. We can jettison the shit on our roster like Jacobs and get excited for this team:
Greinke
Meche
Hochevar
Davies/Bannister
Crow
Consistent lineup (after Hilldumb is fired):
Dejesus, Gordon, Kila, Butler, Teahen, Guillen, Callaspo, Aviles/Bloomquist, B Pena

That is a decent to good rotation
That offense still blows, it needs some work.

Well all i can say about Crow is he was etremely unimpressive in the oxford regional
a couple of weeks ago but everyone is real high on him so we ll see. Hochevar was supposed to be special too, remember. At this point I feel sorry for Crow. He is probably crying that the royals organization took him. I would be.

Fuck, we meant to draft Gibson, not Crow.
Best wishes,

nothing can be as bad as Hochevar at #1
imagine a rotation with Lincecum and Greinke.
While Stodolka and Griffin were epic failures. Spending your #1 pick on the next Jason Grimsley is a pretty big mistake. Way to be scammed, guys.

What a horrible, horrible, horrible team.
- W. Bloomquist homered to deep center
- P. Earth explodes

You People Seem
To have given up hope. Congratulations, you’ve joined me in my state of eternal despair. Give up or leave. This is as good as it gets.
I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.
