kazmir has to follow up his last game with a solid performance…time for him to get his 50th win. going with kid k
1st pick of the season for me so why not go with the lead-off hitter.
BJ Upton
Cougar stole my pick (and I’m sure a lot of others will agree with him too).
Kid K…. REDEMPTION!
I may be the only person who’s picked every night and still hasn’t cashed-in yet.
I guess that’s what happens when you pick JP Howell when Shields is pitching (sometimes my own stupidity amazes me- then again stupid people are usually easily amazed).
Long-Going out on a limb… Longoria.
Scott Kazmir.
Time for BJ Upton to make his presence known.
Kid K’s gonna be ON it tonight
Carl Crawford
Kazmir gets back on his march to the Cy Young tonight.
With the Righty going tonight for the A’s, and Zobrist having just played 4 straight days, and Gabe Gross having 5 days off, I’m looking for the well rested Gross to come through in the clutch tonight.
Cahil’s got problems with lefties. I’m guessing Gross gets the start in right, and I think he gets in a good game finally. Out on a limb, GG.
Kazmir
I’ll go with Carlos Pena.
Pat the Bat… He gets the power stroke goin tonight
Scott Kazmir
I’ll be bold: Dioner Navarro
Dave said BJ Upton, so that’s the logical choice
But I am not logical, and I am going with Joe Nelson tossing a couple zeroes up in long relief of Kid K.
I’m going with Pat “How you like my banana hammock” Burrell
I’m gonna go with Kazmir tonight.
Pat Burrell, he’s seeing the ball fairly well lately, it just always seems to be out of the zone
My boy, Aki.
Going with Kazmir; he is going to throw a gem. He better, he is on my fantasy team.
Kazmir, our starters have done well the last two games.
my boy kazmir!
Kazmir. The A’s are actually hitting worse than we are, hopefully Kazmir takes advantage of this.
Kazmir
since we can’t seem to hit….going with Kaz
BJ
feed the bat and he will score.
Carl Crawford again. Terrorizing the basepaths.
