Saturday's Polyurethane Cup
I'm not really in the mood to write anything this morning, but I do have a small stockpile of links bookmarked, so I figured I'd dump them here for your clicking pleasure.
Two Fisted Slopper: What Went Wrong (shorter list than "what went right!")
Mark Mulder is back, sent to the Cardinals bullpen.
An A's fan is being a jerk, as related by Nico at AN:
How pathetic is the fan who caught Carlos Gonzalez' first major league homerun, was offered three bats and an autographed ball in exchange, and refused, "holding out for more"?
Bill Baer at BDD suggests that Randy Johnson give Brian Shouse a run for his money.
Via email from a Mets fan friend of mine:
Bad things happened while Guillermo Mota was on the mound? You don't say...
Almost makes you glad we're getting Eric Gagne back. Almost.
Early-ish 6:10 CT start tonight. Don't miss it...Corey's on fire!

Mota
He can look pretty good, but also quite bad. High leverage situations don’t seem like the spot to have him, at least for awhile. The problem is what else to do.
The team traded Estrada for him, i.e. nothing. I don’t know how much they’re paying him. But he seems to be one of those guys that Ned thinks if you just believe in him, he’s got the stuff to be a quality pitcher.
I don’t know how much they’re paying him.
Do you have the internet?
Also, cheese.

Gagne..
According to the Devil (JSOnline) Gagne is to throw another BP session today and won’t be activated till they re-evaluate him.
Johnson the lefty specialist
only works if he’s not having to face McClung…
(I love small sample sizes)
anybody else going to the game tonight?
Tonight I’m in the center field homerun porch with a couple friends (and one friend’s parents (??!)) and tomorrow I’m rolling in the cheap seats.

Went today, going tomorrow
will be in section 13x though. I hate the Dome, the sightlines are horrible in the expensive seats. Did I mention I hate the Dome?
Has anyone heard
who is the odd man out if they do indeed activate Gagne? Will they keep 13 pitchers? I would guess that Dillon, Stetter, or DiFelice are the choices to send down.
Lineup
JS says Prince is DH and then lists 2 1B in the lineup. Branyan playing first is the surprise for today.
Might as well let Hall try and hit a RHP he's seen before
It’s not like Dillon has done much against them in general, although if the real story behind Hall starting is that he’s 3-for-10 against Hernandez (quite possibly a Witrado shot in the dark), why not have Counsell (17-42 vs. Hernandez) start?

weeks last night
anyone else think weeks should’ve been on second when braun singled last night? i mean what’s the point of having a quick leadoff guy if he’s not gonna be running in that situation?
