Did anybody see that Big Hurt went yard in his 2nd AB with us?

It was a f&$*ing blast

Heard about it....didn't see it though.

Was there any video footage?

Do you A's fans think Frank Thomas will be starting every game this season? Or will it be more like 2 out of 3 or 3 out of 4? He's been quite productive so far this season, in terms of HRs and RBIs.

Well I'm suprised he played in all 3 games against the Skankees. I see him playing 3 out of 4 games.

He only has 1HR this year and other than his near grand slam last night has looked average (maybe below average) at the plate.

He'll be in there as much as health permits. He'll get the odd rest day to keep him fresh. I say if he is healthy all year he'll get 450 ABs. But "if" is the middle word in life.

That's very clever, I'll have to use that.

Thanks for the help guys.

Hehe, wish I could take credit for it. Heard it elsewhere.

I'm afraid there won't be too much order in when Thomas sits and when he starts. Hopefully Macha will figure it out far enough in advance so fantasy owners can set their lineups accordingly, but he should be able to log a good number of ABs, with the ever-present "assuming health" tag at the end of that.

Damn this team is good HM!! I'm excited about this year.

[Half Massed]

I know Ryn! It's exciting to see a lot of experts predicting WS wins for Oakland. Of course we all know how much those predictions are worth, but nonetheless...
