I have seen Bradley(twice) and Payton make the same stupid Matador play.Maybe they will balance the situation out by doing the Matador for ya in Oakland.One guy you won't see doing that is KOTSAY.

Tough injury to take for A's...Ellis broke his right index finger.The guy is a very important piece of that team's defense.He has like 1-3 errors the whole season.To me,the guy is a damn good clutch hitter,too.Ellis,and Scutaro are highly underrated ballplayers.

That is a tough injury for the A's. But it won't matter until y'all play the Yankees. I'm a die-hard Twins fan. But I'm not a delusonal Die-Hard Twins fan lol.
