The Swisher Fast Is Over!
2006-09-03 23:55
With this walk:
My Nick Swisher fast (see sidebar, at bottom) is finally over. He had an extra-base hit (a double) and a walk in the same game.
The fasting has worked wonders, especially with Kendall and Loaiza, but really, there isn’t anybody on the A’s who is stinking now, except maybe Antonio Perez. Should I do a Perez fast?
Nah, what’s the point?
1. So you already have a set of excuses not to watch Antonio Perez play?
2. Is too early for a Dan Haren Fast? He has been a little out of focus lately. Only two games lost by A's this last week-> Haren's starts.
3. 1 Yeah, usually my excuse for not watching him play is that he isn't playing. Or if he is, all he's doing is pinch-running for Frank Thomas late in a game. I don't really mind the pinch-running so much.
2 I thought about fasting Dan Haren, but I haven't reached the annoyed/concerned phase yet. Another bad start or two, and I could get there.
