Mike Davis visiting with Ray and Kuip
I remember him with the A’s but…Eck fricken’ walked him. It kinda sours Davis’s career for me.

Notice how Kennedy flipped that underhand?
I remember him saying he hated doing that from 2B to the SS — he always flips it backhand. Funny that he can do that from 3B.
"And Julio Franco is batting right-handed!" -- Wayne Hagin, A's radio play-by-play, mid-80s
I really like him as a player
I’m hoping that we re-sign him and that he has another great year in the sun with the A’s.

"And Julio Franco is batting right-handed!" -- Wayne Hagin, A's radio play-by-play, mid-80s

Hopefully we have some other options in case he hits a wall. He would be a great platoon player if not a starter.

that's right
- Became known to TV audiences in the early ‘70s as Carol Traynor, the divorced daughter of Bea Arthur’s character on pioneering sitcom Maude.
- Made her big-screen debut in 1980, when she starred in then-husband John Carpenter’s ghost movie The Fog; re-teamed with Carpenter a year later for the director’s classic Escape from New York.

i just tried that. i need a different toaster, they are all at the bottom
alaska A residing in northern Idaho.
That's a good recipe
Nothing fancy, just the basics. Basil, salt, pignoli, olive oil.
2 cups basil leaves
2 cloves garlic
1/2 cup olive oil
3 tbsp pine nuts
salt to taste (about 1 tsp)?
Put in food processor and blend.
Then, add 2 tbsp room-temp butter, 1/2 cup grated parmesan, 2-3 tbsp grated pecorino romano.
"And Julio Franco is batting right-handed!" -- Wayne Hagin, A's radio play-by-play, mid-80s
Butter
First of all, butter makes almost everything better.
Second of all, you’ve already got a lot of dairy with the cheese. The butter makes it richer (I know, gilding the lily…).
And it’s how Marcella Hazan does it. That’s good enough for me.
"And Julio Franco is batting right-handed!" -- Wayne Hagin, A's radio play-by-play, mid-80s
Butter = more fat, less liquid
If you’re using salted butter (which you shouldn’t, but sometimes it’s all you’ve got) adjust the salt in the recipe.
Also, you can add a tbsp or two of water from the pasta pot to “loosen it up” before tossing it on the pasta.

Typical A’s style of accidently trying to win. The other 29 teams try to hit the ball in that situation

It wasn't all that great
But there’s a difference between being upset with a player’s performance and outright irrational anger.
it's pretty rational anger
when there are two outs and the game is on the line, you swing and hope you hit the ball. this is elementary baseball.

Let’s not overstate the case, is all. Like the dude who called Sweeney a worthless piece of shit above.
Chill out. It’s a bad AB.
okay
not a worthless piece, but a useless AB. you just hope when you lose, you go down swinging. literally.

No, I get it. I know what you mean. That pitch was definitely too close to take. Much too close.

we bitch when he wails at the slider down and away.
there was only one pitch that was down and away
the rest were, as mentioned above, way too close to take

I should clarify...
… that when I say “not all that great,” I mean to say that I can see what Sweeney was thinking on that last pitch. The ump kind of gave him the old bait-and-switch.
But he shoulda swung.
