If there’s a team in baseball that could match the Pirates for recent futility, it might be the A’s. Sure, the Pirates have dropped 15 of 17 (yikes, that looks much worse typed out), but the A’s have dropped 11 of 14 and that’s not very good, either. I guess that means it’s a good thing it’s turn back the clock weekend in Oakland; these two teams can wear funny uniforms and pretend like it’s the 70s.
Brad Lincoln keeps going for his first big league win tonight against Ben Sheets. In all of his starts so far, he’s sprinkled rough innings together with innings where he looks really good, so let’s hope he starts putting things together tonight and makes some progress. He’ll have his work cut out for him, though, because as Tom at Rum Bunter points out, the A’s pitching is generally awesome at home. Against the Pirates, they’ve all got shutout potential.
The first pitch is at 10:05. Clemente/Cangelosi is after the jump. The great Bloguin Server Nightmare of 2010 is almost over.
Let’s be honest, I didn’t do an update here, but I’ll get it fixed in the long run.
