I know Longoria's in a slump,

but I wouldn’t try to steal a run there, not with Casilla pitching and not with a runner at third just waiting for another wild pitch.

I think that was an accident

CC probably would have stolen, and just got caught by the play

Oh, pain.

Nico: Okay. We have twelve hours to make a really big pickle.

And with a forceful blink of FP Santangelo's eye, this game is over.

Well, we almost scored tonight.

That’s really all you can hope for.

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

We scored a couple of 3rd-bases

They count, right?

Yawn.

Cmon Bryce Harper!

"Their Triple-A rotation, led by Trevor Cahill and Brett Anderson, could be better than some big-league rotations; Michael Ynoa is the best Latin American prospect of the decade; 2008 draftees Jemile Weeks and Rashun Dixon bring much-needed tools to an advanced group of hitters." - BaseballProspectus.com

New baseball division

A’s
Nationals
Padres
Royals
Pirates

At least it would be competitive. But such is the company we keep.

So Dallas Braden coming back is the good news

the bad news is this offense is not even worthy of mention in Caligula’s memoirs…..

How difficult it must be for the people

on CSC who have to do that post-game report that they know no one is watching. Poor F.P. just never has anything to talk about. No highlights to show. Nothing. The A’s give you absolutely nothing on most nights.

That's a surprisingly tame post for you.

No obscenities at all.

You must be tired.

Peace - out. See you tomorrow.

More wine!

And roasted pork tenderloin with rosemary and garlic. The evening is not lost.

Nico: Okay. We have twelve hours to make a really big pickle.
