This is Not Good

This is not good.  There is hardly any good news coming out of the Athletics camp right now.  The only positives I see are that our catcher Suzuki is on fire in the batters box, and Buck broke out of his funk. He finally found that oh so elusive first hit.  Other than these two bright spots things look bleak and here is why.  The DISABLED LIST is back and in full force so it seems. Today Duscherer was placed on the fifteen day disabled list retroactive to April 5^th.   He will most likely miss two starts but it seems the way things go for the Athletics is that it begins as two and turns into five missed starts.  Harden was also scratched from his start today and Gaudin was brought up from Triple A to make the start.  Harden has been extremely injury prone and while he was not placed on the disabled list I feel that is in his future.  Apparently Harden has a mild subscapularis strain in his right throwing shoulder and felt it the first day back from the Japan trip, which leads one to believe that the disabled list will be immanent for him.  Gaudin is himself coming off of two surgeries so fingers crossed he doesn't get hurt or the Athletics will really be in a pickle.  The Athletics website when listing the starters for tomorrows game has a TBD and blank picture while the Blue Jays are throwing McGowan.  This is not a good sign!
