4/02 - Opening Day 2007 thread (Oakland vs Seattle)

Nat;

This joint gameday thread is a trip. When I posted, I landed on the Mariners' version and somehow in a introduce yourself thread, which is up to about 5 pages. Really a strange experience to navigate back and forth like so.

Well, the A's surprised at least me, and I think a few others with their final roster, adding Buck, Walker, Marshall, and DiNardo. We should have enough depth to carry us through until Kotsay gets healthy.

I like the makeup of this bunch. I like Piazza and Stewart and Bradley added to the homegrown likes of Chavez, Harden, Crosby an Swisher.

Gonna be a fun season. Let's start off on the right track here today!

Let's Go A's!

Later,
RDB

Takes a swig from his Arrowhead lemon sparkling from home.

Clicks on Gameday site, watches Haren throw Strike #3 to Sexson.

Anyone else using the Gameday site with the pitch locations and MPH?

Pretty cool.
