Maybe he meant, "I'm still a lefty."

Leads the nation in foreclosure rates!  Yes!

Stockton, California now leads the nation in foreclosures. Of RealtyTrac's top 10 metro areas for foreclosures, four are in Central California.

Japanese Biker Unknowingly Loses Leg, Continues Ride

A Japanese biker whose leg was severed below the knee continued his ride, apparently unaware of his loss, Reuters reports.

Ichiro's reaction: His leg live on like beautiful line drive

for consesecutive errorless games? Well, last night, Babe F______ Ruth one-upped him.

Before the game, Oakland second baseman Mark Ellis said that Polanco was one of his favorite players to watch.

To be fair, I was listening to the Tiger's radio team last night, and they were were sure talking Ellie up. In their opinion, the two candidates for 2nd Base GG were both playing.

it's like the A's notes is the celebrity gossip column.  I'm surprised I didn't see "Gavin Newsom had no comment" or something like that.

These new star names just don't have as much "bang for their buck" today.  Peter North, Buck Wild or even Jenna Jameson have much more "pop" IMO.  Porn just ain't what it used to be.

Hey we have either won or split our last 4 series.  I am repeating a post from last night but that is a good thing.

that didn't get made. #1 gave me a heart attack.

But I just found out that I have 3, maybe 4, weeks left of my position here at work. So if anyone knows of a Marketing or Public Relations position available in the mid - south bay, please e-mail me! I will be needing a new job ASAP!

And if you don't know of a position available, but you want to go get drunk, let me know!

Hit his first HR since June last night (#7 overall).

18 more and I'll be confident he might turn into a decent player...  

From today's Mercury News. I like "most games played in a losing cause".

Left-hander Joe Kennedy has given up only an unearned run in two relief appearances, his role here.

"My preference is definitely starting. They know that, but I’m not going to come in and cause any ripples," he said. "I like to call myself a utility pitcher."

Kennedy was 3-9 with a 4.37 ERA with Oakland before being claimed off waivers last week, making 16 starts before being taken out of the A’s rotation as he neared performance bonuses.

Kennedy will get $100,000 if he makes 20 starts and another $100,000 if he makes 25 starts. He gets a $50,000 bump for 27 starts and another $50,000 for 30.

Asked if he thought the A’s decision to remove him from the rotation had something to do with that, he simply said, "Do the math."

Hellooooo? Are you still there?

Mmmm...

AHHHH!

He appears to have fulfilled the two conditions that Geren publicly named for activating him, namely pitch count and velocity.

Loaiza says he's ready: After throwing 97 pitches Saturday and hitting 92-93 mph on the radar gun, Esteban Loaiza believes he's OK to make his first start of the season for Oakland. The decision has not been made yet, however; Loaiza threw a side session Tuesday and manager Bob Geren wants to make sure he comes out of that feeling good. If Loaiza doesn't go, lefty Dan Meyer would get the slot against Kansas City on Friday.

It will be interesting to see whether he starts Friday's game or not...
