And the bright side is that Harden's thrown 25 pitches already.

Lester faced less hitters.
Thus: Lester > Harden.

for eff's sake
I can't believe our 2 best hitters made 3 outs and didn't knock in a run between them with the bases jacked and NO outs. What are the odds of that?

How many bases loaded did they squander today?
3 or 4?

His name makes me think of Slap Shot, one of the great sports movies of all time:

I just looked at the A's roster
and I must say, they will need a lot of complete game shutouts from Blanton and Harden is they're going to win more than 60 games this year.

Basically, they suck.
I understand cutting costs and still competing -- they've done it before -- but they can't compete with this team.

Ok, so, if Street is the A's closer all season long, how many saves does he get? 7 ... 8?

Exactly the point
Why hang onto someone who has perceived value for other clubs, little for your own, and could yet further bolster your farm system?

Thoughts:
- Jon Lester will be a stud this season. I've been saying it since Game 4, boys and girls...
- 'Tek looks f'n good.
- No more leaving runners on base, please.

Gentlemen.
Those who question the upgrade are more likely to have their comments disappear.
...just a thought. Not trying to make any this is a dictatorship statements.

Can you give us more detail?
Curious to know which comments they are (yours, another specific user, random) and if they come back after you refresh, or any other behavior you can describe.
Important thing to note: if you have an auto-updating thread open in more than one place, comments that *you* enter in one window or machine won't appear on the other.
Let us know and we'll try to sort it out.

it usally happens to me when i leave the page and come back, wether by link or not. Then when i go back and it loads slowly but stops t some point. It always stopped at the sme point for me, at someone asking for mannys stats. I got to the home page and click the comments link and sometime it all comes sometimes just back to what i just explained. As for time, sometimes it takes 2 mins, sometimes 15.
But it is no big deal to me, just letting you know.
As for the rest, love the new site.

"more than place"
Not sure what you mean - "more than one place" within this comment section?
I was kind of commenting all over the place on this game thread - responding to other people's comments, posting my own witticisms, etc. And I noticed as I was scrolling up and down that things I had posted - both responses and "first posts" - five minutes before weren't there anymore. Then my ADHD would take over and I'd surf elsewhere, and when I'd come back to OTM and re-open the game thread my comments would have reappeared.
I also noticed once or twice that the order of comments switched after a few minutes.
It's not the biggest deal, but I figured I'd speak up. Thanks for the quick response. Y'all have done a kick*ss job building this playground for us.
