Let's get some new thread mojo! Braden pitching pretty well; he has only given up 2 runs. Of course, the A's offense has only managed to score one, but that could change. Right? Right?

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOF

This man legally changed his name to Boof. We can hit him right?

Well, if we can't hit him,

someone should smack him.

What the hell kinda name is Boof? I mean, seriously.

Dear BBG,

I’d like to profess my undying love for you — since you bake.

Too soon?

I do bake. Now I want cookies. :-)

Commiserating here makes it seem better that Dallas Braden is our new ace

BBGirl, what do you mean by

“Some of us lived through the mid-to-late 1990’s”

some of us didn’t survive the late 90’s because of the poor play by the A’s

No, cause he sure isnt getting the dang A's game in HD

as long as
1) The Giants are playing
2) The game is during the day
3) The A’s are playing a team with a less than 50 million payroll or sub 500 record
4) I’m free to watch the game.

If Barton has a productive AB, however,

Pennington’s ball is either an RBI groundout or more likely, an RBI single past a drawn in infield.

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

It's pricey, but worth it.

Although not when the A’s are playing like this.

I'd get it if I could get A's games

but I live in Northern California, so A’s games are blocked out.
