Not just Oakland. Fifty car pileup today in Colorado Springs, because of ice and snow…like THAT has never happened in Colorado!
People are now so isolated from outside factors, while driving their cars. Noise insulation, no road feel, no speed sensation.
Instead of slowing down for rain, they speed up!!

Having moved from Oakland to the Sierras
(and we’ve already seen snow, last weekend), it’s mostly a matter of having proper clothing. The hats with ear flaps, good gloves, wool socks. A couple smart shopping sprees at REI and you can deal with anything nature throws at you up here. I don’t think I could deal with some of those places in the upper Midwest or Canada that routinely go well below zero in January and February, though.

Everytime I see a pitcher batting, I'm reminded of that old A's TV commercial.
The one where a pitcher (I forget who, Duke? Zito? Mulder? Huddy?) was signing autographs by some fans, only to see Eric Chavez sign a ball, then launch it to some fans in the RF bleachers. It ended with the pitcher trying the same thing and hurting his back.

What you fail to understand in your joyless myopia is that baseball is the key to life-- the Rosetta Stone, if you will. If you just understood baseball better all your other questions your, your... the, uh... the aliens, the conspiracies they would all, in their way be answered by the baseball gods.

my take: toughest two games of the season scheduled in back-to-back weeks
It left no time to rebuild their confidence, or to correct any errors. If they play those two games a month apart, and only lose those two games, everyone will say it’s a great season. If they play these two games back to back, and lose them both, and can’t get back on track, it sends the rest of the season in a tailspin…
With that said, Riley isn’t great, and we should’ve swapped him out for Mansion or Sweeney in the ‘SC game. No reason to keep him in there if he’s ineffective….

Agree about the schedule
Clearly USC and Oregon (with Masoli; don’t think Blount is that important) are the class of the league. We thought the Bears would make it a triumvirate, but they’re not in that class (probably will finish third though).
Riley has the physical tools (yeah, TWSS) but I think he has issues between the ears. I dismissed the Oregon State fiasco as a rookie mistake and have tried to give him every benefit of the doubt, but he’s just too inconsistent to ever win the big games.
by Soaker on Oct 11, 2009 10:42 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
If Cal can recover from the Oregon/USC games, I see them winning most of their remaining games in the season and finishing third in the Pac-10
but that requires them to deal with the mental issues that always seem to trip them up. I don’t know why they have such a difficult time bouncing back from tough games, or how their preparation for road games differs from the home games, but they’ve got some stuff to work on besides Riley’s ineffectiveness (which is a huge deal too).

They should have requested an appeal to the 3B umpire
Don’t know if he saw it, but in any case it always annoys me that the appeal has to be made, rather than the other umpire who might have seen the play differently taking the initiative to come down and talk to the home plate umpire about the play.

Don't need reminder why we got rid of Street
How did he only blow 2 saves. Did he face the Nationals 35 times?
Looked like he had no idea where the ball was going in this outing.

To be fair, I completely expected Huston to have a horrible 2009.
I figured Coors would take the bite out of his already inconsistent slider.
Guess I was wrong. He’s pitched great this season.
