To be honest I was playing with my Dad and two friends
and for a second there they thought I was dead but I got up and almost broke 80.
I just ran an actual psychic simulator,
and it turns out that Cliff Pennington would have cleared the bases with a triple there.

With these series going longer and longer into Fall
the weather is going to be a problem for the east coast games.

the humidity just made it curl up
It's humid where I am now
and her hair seems fine (maybe that’s what she’s doing for that hour that it takes her to get ready) I have mine pretty much shaved now so it takes me 5 minutes to get ready.

Hey -- the game's still on!
"And Julio Franco is batting right-handed!" -- Wayne Hagin, A's radio play-by-play, mid-80s
Yes
He was a great reliever for the A’s — Eck’s setup man, and a the closer when Larussa couldn’t use Eck.

"And Julio Franco is batting right-handed!" -- Wayne Hagin, A's radio play-by-play, mid-80s
Great sinker and slider
and very good at holding runners (despite one unfortunate game in which he was called for 4 balks in Seattle).
He’d won an NL ERA title a few years before with the Dodgers (as a starter) and had also been suspended for 10 games when pitching for the Rangers for scuffing the ball (the ump found a thumbtack in his glove — oops!).

Since when is Raul Ibanez this good?
He always killed the A’s in Seattle. Is he one of those AL to NL cases?
No, he's one of those

He is a career 115 OPS+ hitter
Therefore, I’d say for a long time, he’s been good (at hitting)
Hey Al, just go away, baby.
That could be part of it
Also, moving from Safeco to Citizen’s Bank has got to help a hitter.

if Jason Giambi attempted that stretch we just witnessed, he would split into several smaller leprechaun Giambis and scamper away to find the pot o’gold.

i was talking to some people from minnesota yesterday, they said the new twinns
venue will not have a retractable roof
I saw a Chiefs vs Raiders game in November once in KC
where it was in the low 20’s and by the end of it I had so much clothing on I looked like a silver and black mummy
The retractable roof design was just too expensive
I think there are going to be some outdoor heaters, but there’s definitely potential for a few rainouts during the summer and snowouts in April and the postseason. It’s snowed a bit in the Twin Cities already.

Hey, I just bought the team from Lew Wolff... who wants to play third?
I thought the world was going to end in 2012
hopefully the A’s can win by then so I can go out happy
yes
The Cosmic Trigger for the 2012 Apocalypse is in all likelihood 7 consecutive sellouts of the Coliseum…. when the 7th Sellout Sign appears in Oct. 2012, watch out.

The ALCS, on the other hand, is an existential crisis of conscience – defeat is what is being wished, the destruction of of an enemy, rather than the success of a friend

It's difficult to watch...
Andre Eithier and Carlos Gonzales play and see how good they are. I’d have to say that A’s management made two serious mistakes in letting these guys go for what the team got in return. Probably the worst part is that both of them are going to keep getting better.
exciting game...what I heard of it
I returned home from work, exhausted from a very difficult day. I cooked a steak, made a sald and poured myself a glass of wine, and turned the radio on to the game.
After eating I felt like I needed to lay down so I did so on the couch, still listening to the radio blasting the game….I fell asleep when the score was still 5-4, and woke up to hear Lidge save the game with the score 8-6.
