**UPDATE**Josh Outman left the game in the second inning with tightness in his left arm. There’s no other information available but it must have been bothering him before the game judging by the reactions of the trainer and the manager when they visited the mound.
We don’t know the severity of the problem, obviously, but should the A’s need another starter, lefty Gio Gonzalez has been pitching well at Triple-A Sacramento. He pitched 5 1/3 scoreless innings on Thursday, striking out 10 and walking one while allowing four hits. He’s 4-1 with a 2.51 ERA.

That freaks me out.
I can understand wanting to cut Tom, but if you cut Tom you have to cut the Barrow Downs scene, and without the Barrow Downs scene the entire story of Frodo’s character development is blown.
I asked someone how they managed that and I was told that in the movie they just bail on Frodo’s character development altogether. Yikes.

Jeff Weaver pitching for Dodgers against his brother
SlegnA are 39 for 100 with 8 home runs 12 doubles and 28 RBI off him.
It would take a tidal wave, an earthquake, and lightning to strike the entire slegnA roster for the slegnA to lose
Of couse I hope that the lightning part does happen
wait, there are two different Weavers????
I just thought it was the same guy and I was getting confused each time.
