Open Game Thread: Game 31 - A's vs. Rangers

Joe Blanton vs. Vicente Padilla. Cupcakes vs. Alcohol.
What is it about Friday night A's games and compelling human-interest stories from the opposing starting pitcher? (Also, what is it about awkward run-on sentence constructions?)
Padilla has been publicly lambasted for being a headhunter, too. Last year he got into this fracas with Nick Swisher . However, I don't think you'll see that tonight. It's nice having Frank Thomas, Mike Sweeney, and Jack Cust in the dugout - it tends to cut down on bench-clearing pitches when you have three bouncers on your 25-man roster. Pitchers haven't really messed with Sweeney ever since they found out that he uses his helmet as a weapon when he charges the mound .
The 18-12 A's, fresh off a split with the Angels, take on Ron Washington's Rangers tonight at 7:05.

Yes, its very nice having players in the dugout
who could take the time out of their considerably busy schedule to injure themselves BEFORE reaching the brawl.

Uhh...I like California a lot more than where I live now...
but Philly and New Jersey aren’t shitholes, not by a long shot.

Many of those folks are suburbanites
and I agree, Philly fans are incredibly annoying—desperate, defensive, and kinda pathetic all at the same time.
Also, it’s very much a football town, which I just can’t get into.
