Beats Tampa Bay 4-0. Isn't this the same guy thats been going after A-rod?

this is the stay off my mound guy isn't it?

**tim_redd** · 05-09-2010, 05:24 PM

Is he good enough to compete against A-rod now?

In the box score it says there was an error. What happened there?

This just shows what can happen when people stay off his mound. turns out he knew what he was talking about.

The Rays had an error, not the A's.

I see that now, on a different box score. Must have messed that one up temporarily.

The error was on Tampa Bay

The line looked like this

Tampa 0 0 1
Oakland 4 12 0

Arod needs to realize that he isn't above absolutely everyone. There are other good players and respect should be given even to new players.

Karma?

One of the more unlikely guys to toss a perfect game, especially considering who it came against.

I benched him on my fantasy team today. He was struggling and the Rays have been killing it. I guess that is why I'm 11th out of 12 teams.

I've liked Dallas Braden the last couple of years. Other than injuries he has been very consistent with a pretty low ERA. I remember last year he was giving up 1-2 runs per game like it was his job but the A's just weren't firing offensively and the guy couldn't get a win.

However, with respect to his outburst with A-rod, I'd have to say Braden sounded like a huge loser. If you read some of his quotes he just sounds ridiculous. People can hate on A-rod all they want, but Braden is the one who came off sounding like a punk.
