MORE IN THAT DAMN SPORTSLINE ARTICLE
As Jeremy mentioned, the A's are 21-8 (as of the article post) since Mulder went on the DL. THAT, my friends, is called STEPPING UP. Sound like the Mariners to you? If so, you’re seeing a different Mariner team than I.
Now, the stomach punch for me in the article:
"Acquired from the Yankees last July in the three-way deal that sent Jeff Weaver from Detroit to the Bronx, Lilly is the winningest pitcher over the past five starts. He's 5-0 in that span with a 1.23 ERA, providing the top hat for Oakland's latest second-half rabbit trick."
TED FRIGGING LILLY, who has NO BUSINESS being in the major leagues, and who sucked immense amounts of ass in the Bronx is somehow making Billy Beane look like a genius. AGAIN. I bet this guy could have signed Bobby Ayala and Felix Fermin for the stretch drive and had them turn in a 1.20 ERA and a .539 batting average, respectively. It just friggin makes me sick.
Another thing in the "it doesn’t matter so who the hell cares" category, Jose Guillen has been shelved for a few days and will miss the rest of the regular season.
