Open Thread: Game 75 - A's vs. Tigers (cont)

Well Brett Anderson has danced out of trouble so far in the first three innings, and has racked up 5 K's and a lot of pitches. But he must be frustrated with the A's will be A's baserunning; the A's have two runners in two innings caught doing unusual little league moves on the bases; the last one thrown out on a catcher fake to second, throw to third. We go to the bottom of the third, no score.

By habit, I always use cmd-click when I want a new tab.

The only time I regular click is when I know I’m done with the old page.

It would be less of an issue if AN’s default font wasn’t crappy tiny Helvetica. Every AN page I open I have to bump up the size to read it. But I don’t want to change the browser default type size because then all other normal pages are too big.

Despite eating penne and marinara as we speak, I'm no expert..

..in Italian, but isn’t it pronounced “Por-chell-o” ?

If it's Italian, yes

And it sounds to me like it would mean “piglet”.

Josh Outman surgery tomorrow

Wow. They won’t “say” TJ, but c’mon…out for 2009, and maybe 2010? They’re talking “rehab”, but I think it has to be. “Elbow surgery” is all they are admitting to.

Outman, fighter of the Hitman, champion of the K, he's a master of scoreless innings and friendship for everyone.

That was a hell of an inning by Anderson.

Have the Tigers "double protested" the game?

I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal
