PrintSuSlu reports on MaEl kidney removal
As if it couldn't get any worse, the injury bug just will not leave the A's alone. Early reports this morning by Susan Slusser reports that MaEl, our beloved unicorn, may have to have his kidney removed.
This of course will open up a slot for Bobby Crosby, who is set to have a break out year. After all his hard work and "dietary" tips from Mark McGwire, Bobby is expected to hit for power and find success laying off the outside breaking ball. I think it is safe to say we all expect Bobby to have an awesome season this year.
Ellis will be laid up for awhile, so Todd Linden will be invited to camp as a non-roster invitee and given a chance to compete for a spot on the roster. How that is related to Mark's kidney, I have no idea. But in the meantime, enjoy your April 1st.

You're assuming he ever had one to remove in the first place

Actually Bobby is getting a second opinion
The evil second head actually purportedly lays off the outside cheese
Smells like team spirit
this is that micro-fracture surgery we've heard about, right?
Do you know the way to San Jose?

Too bad
you had to mention Todd Linden. Would make no sense to bring him in as a possible roster replacement.
Happy April Fools Day, Try again.

I could prove God statistically. Take the human body alone - the chances that all the functions of an individual would just happen is a statistical monstrosity.

Ok, since everyone is having fun today, this is real
I have ONE extra ticket, behind home plate for tomorrow’s trouncing of the SF Giants at ATT park.
