Around SBN: L'Equipe Claims He's Coming To Chelsea On Five Year Deal

Open Thread: Game 153 - A's vs. Rangers (cont)

Anderson was dealing, the A's are scoring, but the A's are not defending (3 more errors so far). A pinch-hitting Nelson Cruz with the bases loaded made thing interesting for the Rangers as the tying run, but Ziggy struck him out. A's lead 7-3 going to the bottom of the sixth.

I'm an NRAF

I didn’t even see your question until about 25 minutes ago (between getting home and taking daughter to soccer practice). Sorry to keep you…waiting!

But FWIW my lunches are boring — I bring every day, the office is in my boss’s house and he and his wife keep kosher. So I bake a loaf of break every week, usually make a no-meat sandwich with that and bring a bunch of fruits and veggies to snack on.

Today was actually avocado and mustard on homemade bread, plus farmer’s market tomato, apple, some dried apricots.

When I was in MN the other dau

We were up like 12-1 in the ninth and casilla came in only to give up 4. Someone behind me said “hey maybe he’ll walk the next 7 guys” and I cringed. It was a little too close to home.

he was released at the beginning of the year to open a roster spot since he was injured and needed a lenthy recovery time. At the time, they said they hoped to re-sign for next year.
