Football, no doubt

or possibly homework. Either way it’s his own fault for wasting time on something so worthless.

What can I say, my dear

to make it clear,
I need you badly badly, Madam Librarian!

(I have enormous respect for Robert Preston and he was surely awesome, but even so I think he played that role a bit too gay. Harold Hill needs a touch of Stanley Kowalski to really make that story work.)

Losing out isn't so bad

It gives us a more accurate sense of the team—we aren’t really a .667 club—and moves us up a bit for the draft.

I’ve enjoyed the second half quite a bit. There’s still plenty of reason for optimism, even if I don’t expect us to contend for anything next year.

If I were to attend a non-A's open thread

(which I probably won’t) I would surely pay even less attention to the game than in the A’s threads.

Being mellow about games has never been a problem for me.

If it’s the final game of a playoff series and our closer walks the bases loaded in the 9th, I’d be thinking “Hey, this is pretty fun.”
