PrintThe A's may have had their shot. Nomar's comebacker against Rivera leaves the A's trailing 7-5 going to the bottom of the 8th.

well, that makes them kind, in mine eyes.
but…it seems there’s more productive things they could do than clean your room. You could clean your own damn room.

hopefully you are teaching Davis how to hit for average.
And Ziggy how to pitch to lefties.
Davis in at Center
Quite possibly an improvement from Patterson, sad as it is to say.

is it wrong that every ex-A's player we face
that left for more money, I want to see them get beaned in the head with a fastball?
See, this is what happens to us with no rally pics.
I blame Nico.

I had to quit coffee.
I was deeply and passionately in love with coffee, but ultimately we had to admit that our relationship was ruining my life, so we had to say goodbye. That was almost 20 years ago, and I still think fondly of her.

In fact, not a day goes by that she doesn’t think of you.

Like many
I’m liking the A’s right now—okay, the future A’s—but a few things I’m not looking forward to seeing the rest of this year:
1. Old guys with no future hit, but who will hit because Billy does not want to burn his free agents.
2. Mark Ellis hit (I know he homered today)
3. Bob Geren manage
That’s the 19th base runner for the Yankees today.

Nice to see that Ziegler
has apparently corrected some of the early season troubles.
And because of those troubles, we discovered Bailey.
Who has good mojo for the top of the order?
We only get one picture so it has to be a good one. (And where’s Pam, anyway? She’s supposed to be keeping a list.)
I don’t think any of our rally regulars have ever had success in a game started by Braden.
