Crosby Nearing "Soft" Label
People use to say that Hall of Famer Robin Yount's propensity for getting hurt was because he played the game exceptional hard.
How do explain Oakland's Bobby Crosby? He's been injured on two successive Opening Day's in dubious fashion. Now, he's out with a boo-boo on his finger when the Yankees' Robinson Cano stepped on his glove and gashed his index finger.
There is no question that Crosby is the glue that holds the A's together much in the way Jason Giambi and Miguel Tejada before him, but public opinion can be whimsical. Just as easy as someone like Yount can be pegged as a gamer who often times gets hurt, so can a player be labeled as soft.
NOTES
How's that 47.25 ERA looking on Barry Zito. No matter what anyone says, the befuddling look Zito's face is flashed too often for a number one starter. If the A's go anywhere it's behind a near Cy Young performance from the fireballing Canadian Rich Harden.....As predicted, the gaudy upperdeck green tarp looks like a fashion disaster. The two-thousand foot "Home of the Oakland Athletics" across the former 300 level only makes a bad situation worse......Of course, A's announcers Glen Kuiper and Ray Fosse fawned over the new look to McAfee Coliseum. Said Fosse, "It looks very good. The green really blends in well with the stadium." Fosse finished his ass-kissing by saying it was a good situation for the A's. Sure, but not for the fans.
