Anderson Rusty, Debuting Rookie Sucky -- Sucky Prevails

Athletics Nation — More photos » Charles Rex Arbogast - AP One way to congratulate Lucas Harrell on his first major league win is to try to electrocute him while he's being interviewed. Browse more photos » Brett Anderson's return to the mound tonight was a lot like Dallas Braden's a couple weeks ago (against the Red Sox): Some good moments, a lot of rust, and even more hits. Anderson was charged with 5 runs on 10 hits in 5.1 IP. Meanwhile, Lucas Harrell made his major league debut because the scheduled starter, Daniel H...

To Braden, A's, It May As Well Have Been A Perfect Game

Athletics Nation — Oh there were baserunners, leads chipped away to precious little, but to Dallas Braden -- winning for the first time since his May 9th perfect game -- and to the A's, now two games over .500 and winning series against contenders, it was perfect enough.The key hits were back-to-back two out, two-run singles in the 2nd by Daric Barton and Kurt Suzuki, the latter of whom added an RBI hit to drive in three for the day. Meanwhile, Braden was outstanding, pitching into the 7th with all his pitches working and shutting down the White Sox after they nicked him for a 1st inning run. The not-so-perfect ...

Open Thread: Game 98 - A's vs. White Sox

Athletics Nation — How many days has it been since Dallas Braden's last win? Try one for every trombone in the big parade. Braden takes the mound today not striving for perfection, just hoping to get a win -- which would be a big one for the A's in their quest to win back-to-back series against winning teams and get 2 games over .500, instead of going .500 against the various-colored Sox and slipping back to .500 overall. Right-hander Daniel Hudson, one of the few well-regarded prospects in the White Sox' farm system, makes his first ever start against Oakland. BEGIN WIDGET Lineup Chicago White Sox @ Oakland...

Open Thread: Game 94 (Boston Red Sox at Oakland Athletics)

Athletics Nation — Ben Margot - AP He's back...hopefully with more pitches this time around. View full size photo » Well, Sunday's .500 celebration was certainly cut short. But we do it again tonight. Dallas Braden (4-7 3.83 ERA) is back tonight from the DL, and he faces knuckleballer Tim Wakefield (3-8 5.65 ERA). Wakefield could possibly be at the end of his Moyer-esque rope, as he's been hit pretty hard this year. Hopefully the A's are able to cobble together some offense.
