Thusfar it's Kennedy, not Kendrick or Kendry, taking the helm -- Adam is taking it to his former team on both sides of the ball and despite the best CF efforts of Torii Hunter, gatherer (and with a niiiice two-out knock from Daric Barton) we're 2-0 A's with Gio sailing beautifully along through 5 1/2.

The best part about this Gio performance
no BBs
in years past, that’d be par for the course w/ the Angels, but they take their walks this year. Go Gio!
He has also got out of some hairy situations
Earlier in the year he did not have the focus or concentration to throw strikes and get out of those type of situations.

True story
I had a friend in Iowa – her initials were ASM. She married a guy whose last name started with S. Several of us tried to convince her to drop her middle name once she married and take her maiden name as her new middle name, but she was adamant about keeping things as-is. I should’ve got them a set up monogrammed towels: TAS and ASS.

Pull head out of arse
Pennington.
2 outs to go.
He's started pretty much every day since the OCab trade
Not that I want to see Crosby at SS, but it wouldn’t be a big surprise if Pennington were a bit tired.

The Magic Number is one! One more A’s win (or Rangers win) will guarantee the slegnA don’t clinch against us this weekend.

There are postseason gamethreads

I know....I just don't have the mental stamina to try to really GET them
Of course it might have something to do with the fact that I flunked Stats the first time I took it…..but of course going to class might have helped!!

for my final report in an experimental stats class
I did monte carlo (repeat simulations) using the 2002-2007 A’s teams. It made me appreciated a) how use they can be and b) how flawed some of what i looked at actually was
