I love Gardner as a lead-off hitter. When he's on, he's perfect. I hope he's up to it. He's masterful at fouling pitches off.

Nova looks good. No hits through six.

Yes to Gardner as lead off. Hell yeah to Nova! And a helluva holler out to yankees baseball!!

Oh my God, Swish is nuts.

wouldn't count but that was fun.

So did Nova just clinch a rotation spot? i sure hope so.

That really is Eric Chavez?

I heard his name the other day and even saw him but I just couldn't believe it, presumed I must be on drugs or something.

Since when is Eric Chavez on our team?

[7] Ha. I just tuned in and saw him lace that double. I knew he had been hitting pretty well. I used to fucking HATE him on the A's. Now I hope he rakes for the good guys. It's Johnny Damon syndrome for me. And the Jesus just ripped a single to left. His swing made it pop. Damn.
