No way.
The essence of Tomko’s magic pixie dust is not that he’s good. It’s that he gets crazy run support. It’s working so far. A’s were all over Snell int he first.
"Go ahead and overachieve, you scrappy Brett-Favre-colored walk-takers." —Rev Halofan
While I do get what you're saying
In his first three A’s starts, he pitched 16 2/3 innings, went 2-0, struck out 14, walked 4, and had a 1.62 ERA.
I don’t know who that is, but it ain’t Brett Tomko. But yeah, if the A’s somehow bail him out of this, the pixie dust lives.

It's actually more like FA football than American professional sports
The conference schedule is fixed. The conference champion is the team with the best record in conference games, regardless of their record in non-conference games. No playoffs, no post-season. They don’t play home-and-home because they can’t play that many games.
Non-conference games are like friendlies, but because of the rating system the games actually matter a fair amount.

My dad had a '67 MG Sedan when he was teaching at Berkeley
It very quickly lost a tooth on the flywheel, so every so often the car would not start because the flywheel was positioned just right. It was not uncommon for people in our neighborhood to see our family pushing the car out into the street, so Dad could get it to start by letting it roll down hill, then drop it into gear.

They're getting better.
It used to just be the Hawks in that division – it was stupid. Now they’ve regressed a little and the Cardinals are progressing.
Granted I want them to kill each other ‘cos I’m still not over two divisional championship losses to those teams.

empy dissing the Raiders spontaneous thoughts
oh god i hate them more than castration with a dull butter knife please al davis you delirious sports analogy to kim jong il oh my god how many 12 loss seasons is that in a row now 22 jesus christ please move them to the roman coliseum or berkeley iceland or a vacant hockey rink somewhere more suited to the inertia-ridden horror before i show up strapped with explosives when does the nfl adopt the suck rule to accommodate the idea of the raiders ever winning two consecutive games again that’s not a commitment to excellence but you watch enough games you need a commitment to atascadero state

Oh, the drinking is in full effect
But you forget, sir, that I am from the Boise area and want— nay, need— to see them fail to compensate for their ridiculous fanbase.
well, that's why I advised to start drinking heavier.
