I don't know where they are,
but I know where the A’s are!
If ever a game should have been called on account of wind, that one was it. Good thing Jerry Blevins didn't have to pitch; he's tall, skinny, and I could practically see one of the 40-mph gusts...sweeping him off the bump and pinning him to the left-field fence. --Mychael Urban
I feel
there is no answer that I can give where I will be able to escape the wrath of my fellow moderators or anyone else who might find my comments offensive. So I shall refrain. Granted, I fully realize there is absolutely nothing fun about my refusal to comment further, but please understand that it is for the best.
Sincerely,
Someone other than the real 67M
I'm here to talk about the past.

which is what he needed to do.

This is true.

Remember his GS that hit the luxury box window in LF?

That's like the 50th time an A's player has been hit by a pitch.
Someone needs to start a beanball war already.
Wow! What happened to the pitching?
Especially Gallagher! Why was he coming out of the pen? I thought he was going to start? Does this mean Cahill makes the starting 5? Could it be MAC time, or C time already? Probably not, but I am a little concerned about G. No magic watermelons today!

Well, we've learned that Sean may not be comfortable coming out of the pen
The A’s aren’t turning him into a reliever; it was just a ST occurrence as they try to get everyone their innings.
Gotcha
Makes sense.

Also a good song. Reminds me of
Wigan RLFC – they adopted it during their run of dominance in the 90s.
Wow..i feel like second best...

1st day of a 1 month sabbatical, looking forward to hanging out on the AN
And we are on the wrong end of a blowout. Maybe I should check out the W’s, they ought to be locking up a playoff lottery spot by now.
