I actually don't think the pun is true

But it’s still funny.

I think Wash preferred Texas. I think he interviewed for both because he would have taken either job, but if he were offered both, he’d take Texas. I think Billy knew that, and that’s why Billy didn’t offer his job to anyone until after they found out if Texas would choose Wash.

Of course that’s all speculation and we’ll never know, but that’s my theory.

I'm trying to figure out how many runs have scored against the A's

in the past year and a half when Geren left a pitcher in one batter too long when EVERYBODY ON THE PLANET knew he should’ve taken him out. I’m guessing it’s around 75-100 already. He does this stupid crap at least once a week. Last week he did it twice and cost them the game.

Angels Style Baseball

Unlike the A’s … the Angles understand that a 3-0 lead is a much, much bigger lead in the 7th inning than a 2-run lead, so they are willing to give up an out and move a guy over into scoring position. On top of that, the Angels actually practice bunting, so the guy actually puts a good one down with 2 strikes. The A’s never would have bunted in that situation. We can debate it all day long, but the Angels like to put the pressure on, on, on, whereas the A’s want to wait for someone to hit a big home run. Seems to me that when the club had Giambi and Tejada, that made good sense. With today’s club, it’s insanity.
