Those are some bitter folks. They wear FUCK PITTSBURGH t-shirts

Indians playing a "no doubles defense"

which is just unnecessary with the A’s “no doubles (or home runs) offense”

How can anyone get used to that?

I live in NJ now, and summer S.U.C.K.S. I work in an office in someone’s house, and until last August (late August) there was. no. air. conditioning. It was usually over 85 degrees in my office.

I used to go down to the basement to cool off.

Also, my body is not fond of deciduous tree pollen.
