Open Thread III: Game 160 - A's vs. Chula Vista Cherubim of Cucamonga

Chavezsleeping_medium

Hey, wait, this is like, 35% baseball at most.

It's 5-0 Angels as we start the 9th, and the stills from the game indicate just how intense the A's offensive attack has been tonight.

It used to be so if you put

Pay for inner cities should be more, not less.

Public school does not exist to serve the kids; public school exists to serve the public. And the public derives more benefit from educating inner-city kids than from educating suburban kids.
