What is a Blue Blood or Royalty? reply to Eamonn Brennan
Eamonn Brennan asks the question of whether or not UCONN can obtain Blue Blood status. http://espn.go.com/blog/collegebasketballnation/post/_/id/28886/could-uconn-ever-become-a-blueblood This got under my skin but it made me think, which is a good thing. I'd really like to know how others feel...
ACC Tourney Notes
The ACC is unlike any other tournament I have been too (except for maybe the NCAA Tournament.) The reasons why are not necessarily the obvious (great teams and great players,) it’s the little things. Here’s a few. If you attended this year add some of your favorites. Star Sightings....
Andrew Giuliani, part 2
Andrew Giuliani was lucky enough to be paired with Tiger Woods at the 2001 Buick Classic Pro Am. He was also lucky enough to get a spot on Duke's golf team, but he was removed. Now it is time for him to quit being a little ***** (edit, inappropriate language) and hang up the spikes already. This...
Duke questions team's direction
Don't say that I can blame him, but personally I would rather the ace of the staff just suck it up and take the ball every five days. http://www.insidebayarea.com/ci_9929305?source=most_viewed "It's tough. I played with all three of those guys for a while," Duchscherer said before Friday's 7-1...
Duke... should he stay or should he go now?
Why yes, I am playing the Clash as I start to write this. Here's the deal. As things stand now, Justin Duchscherer is a year and a half from becoming a free agent for the first time in his pro career. He will be 31 when that happens, his 32nd birthday will be right around the corner. And as much...
Duke-Recognition
I feel it is time to recognize Duke for what he is. One of the best pitchers to ever put on the Green and Gold!! Duke has never really gotten recognition from the A's for what he has done for them. No bobblehead, no jersey giveaway, nothing. Every player drafted and highly touted by the...
Duke signed - Will compete for rotation spot
http://oakland.athletics.mlb.com/new... I guess someone has to pitch.... "The A's trimmed their list of arbitration-eligible players to three on Wednesday, signing righty Justin Duchscherer to a one-year deal for the 2008 season. Per club policy, financial details of the contract were not...
The Two-Headed Monster
We have two great pitchers - Duke and Harden - with major injury concerns. The starting rotation will expose them to a high inning count - thereby increasing the risk of injury, while putting them in the bullpen will expose them to both more frequent and less regular outings - thereby increasing...
The difference between 74-76 and 84-66 is....
the difference between mediocrity and playoff contention The difference between 74-76 and 84-66 is....the difference between mediocrity and playoff contention. 10 games out of 150. 10 times this year the A's lost when in past years they would have won. Once every 2 weeks this year the A's lost...
Duke out for season
Yikes, this is not good for our bullpen: Duke out with season ending hip surgery I for one kind of saw this coming. But who didn't? His performance indicated to me and to others that something was seriously wrong. He's been a great bullpen arm for us, but the question is for this season, who is...
