Around SBN: Ohio State And Florida Target 2013 Receiver Recruits

Open Thread II: Game 160 - A's vs. Northridge Nephilim of Van Nuys

Red-whale_medium

Despite 9 Ks from Gio through 5 IP (tying a career high), it's 4-0 Red People halfway home courtesy of a Juan Rivera ball that cleared the fence by less than the amount of fingernail it takes to scratch the blackboard of my very soul.  Biff Clankington has also chimed in on my last nerve with an errant throw home allowing Kendry Morales, pictured above at Sea World Anaheim, to steal home even though he makes Bengie Molina seem like Lou Brock.

Letting guys hit the ball generally means letting them get on base more than you want.

live look-in: mixed blessing.

I get to see H-Rod for the first time… but I also have to see the Black Unis of Death, and the outfield that has been desecrated by football, and the Angels. [shudder]

At least Ellis is wearing high socks!

somebody at mlb.com is a little mixed up.

Said it was showing COL-LAD and then the A’s-Angels come up. Then it said it was showing the A’s-Angels and the Rockies-Dodgers come up. They’re so tricksy, they are.

Just talked to the father of the VP of amateur scouting for the Tigers

and said “I HOPE THAT MINNESOTA TAKES THE DIVISION!” He said his son is scouting the Red Sox in preparation for the Tigers playing them in the playoffs.
