It's Got to Be the
MorningAfternoon AfterPadres 5 Giants 4- Other than Barry's Big Bomb, it was a pretty bad weekend for the Black & Orange: they got swept, Matt Cain's horrible luck continued, Noah Lowry went out with an injury, and the bullpen blew more things than Paris Hilton. Actually, our highlight of the weekend was going to our favorite pop culture site, Oh No They Didn't on Live Journal to see that in between discussions of Britney's latest breakdown and all things Harry Potter, somebody posted a story about Bonds' tying the record. Even better, we got to see the occasional Giants icon, including this great one of Barry Zito. And in case anyone's wondering, our favorite Harry Potter movie is Order of the Phoenix.
Angels 4 A's 3- Milton Bradley went after Billy Beane this weekend for, well, being the Man who had him down. Bradley's main complaint, other than hinting that the A's have problems with black players, was that he was nothing more than a cog in the Moneyball machine. We've always wondered if that was a common complaint with the A's, that it often comes off like players are told what to do mainly because some computer spit out some stat that was interpreted by some math major from M.I.T. Apparently, there's also some grumbling about manager Bob Geren, mainly that he is too friendly with everyone and not being all manager-like, more Michael Scott than Tony LaRussa. You know, the A's do tend to hire extremely bland, non-descript guys (Howe, Macha, Geren) who's main attribute seems to be getting out of the way and patting everyone on the butt. Of course, all the griping could be because of all the losing and losing tends to make everyone pretty grumpy. Who knows?
