As the championship series begins, I was thinking back to the Bash Bros, era. It was a game that was on Saturday night, the A's were playing Boston (feh). I really wanted to see the game, but a nag of an old girlfriend demanded that I attend the wedding of her cousin, whom I could not stand. After he many threats I sadly said I would go. I thought since the wedding was to be held at the Claremont Resort, surley there woud be a television tuned to the game....Nope.
  But being a good planner, must be how I became a CEO, I brought a Sony Watchman with me. So I slipped the 2inch wide screen TV into my suit pocket, and turned it on. The wedding started, I watched the ballgame. Man, was my girlfriedd mad, who cares? It was the freaking playoffs. Well during the ceremony, and after, I had a large crowd of guys around me watching the game on my TV. We were all so happy we got to watch the A's kick some butt..funny though there were several unhappy spouses/girlfriends that night.
  Later, when I finaly married, no not her, I told this story to my wife. She laughed, and said, "If the A's were in the playoffs, we would'nt be going to any stinkin wedding" ain't love grand.
