A friend of mine came up with "Demi Moore's Law"

You know moore’s law – the performance of computers will double every two years (or 18 mos, depending on the version). Demi Moore’s Law states that people will not adopt new technology even half as fast as they should.

it is not possible to strategize while the ball is coming towards you

BBTN.

I remember during an episode of BBTN right before the start of the season and they were doing Web Gems of spring training. One of them was a diving play by Emil. Karl Ravich said something along the lines of: “Well there’s a bright spot. To bad there won’t be much of that to come, the Bay Area fans better get ready for some awful baseball this season.” I remember being so pissed as the BBTN crew laughed at the comment making fun of the A’s. I kept thinking to myself these guys have no clue. For two months I felt good about this team. Now…ummm…..errr….

If today was any indication

they won’t see Weeks for Weeks.

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

One Day At A Time

They want to steal the land papers which is why they have tried to break in. But they had to give up after being bitten by Chhotu.

Harden and Gaudin...

Gallagher better turn into one hell of a pitcher. Murton and Patterson are only worth a Foulke or Embree if you ask me.

I agree. I hate the A's trading their best player

Yes, I know HArden is an injury risk but he is some great pitcher.

Maybe the Catcher in single A will be good.

I agree somewhat

Many of these guys are not going to be on this team next week let alone in 2010. I love to watch guys like Suzuki, Ziegler, Smith, Sweeney, Gonzalez because they might be the backbone of a good team for several years.

However, many on the team are dead weight.
