Hello?  Hello?  Is this thing on?

Since I may be one of the few people who has been able to log on today, here are the facts if you have not already seen them:

Frank Thomas has been signed to a deal.  Travis Buck goes on the 15-day DL with shin splints, Eric Chavez goes on the 60-day DL with general debilatating allover brokenness recovering from back surgery.   Susan Slusser's bloggish story on SFGate

and Official A's Press Release.  According to the Star Tribune's Twins blogge r, Frank is taking BP in Oakland even as I type.  

The will of the people of the left field bleachers will not be denied!  (At least not this time.)

In other news:  Rich Harden's sister got roughed up for wearing a Calgary jersey at the Sharks game.   She is a true Canadian.   Also in that post, Andrew Brown and Huston Street got pwned by the sixth-grade chess champion.  

Dump if you are able!
