PrintA's up 6-2 going to the top of the seventh. Weird strike zone tonight. I don't even think the home plate ump can figure it out.
LET'S GO A'S!!!!!!

RBI single even.
I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal
Especially if we add on, but even if we don't
I’d lift Chad after 6 innings (96 pitches). Let Brown, Devine, and Embree take us to the finish line, with Casilla and Street hopefully able to rest up for tomorrow.

Thanks! I haven’t been able to attend many game threads this year, and I don’t have graphics for everyone, but I’m working on it!
I've always been surprised
that a savvy group like AN hasn’t had more ace Photoshoppers. (Not that I would ever be one.)
Geren is an idiot
pinch running for Thomas when he’s an HR away from the cycle? Dipshit.

He's the DH...
I dunno, seems a bit early to take him out, with a cycle on the line too. Maybe I’m just paranoid, it’s the A’s afterall.
