Some are fellowships and some are churches

The one I went to as a child was called a church, the services had a fairly traditional structure, and we sang a lot of standard hymns with the lyrics tweaked a bit. I had to relearn them all later in an Episcopal choir and kept thinking, “What? This song isn’t about Jesus, it’s about being grateful for the trees and stars!”

I'm absolutely infuriated with the fact that Donaldson has seen no playing time

There’s no fucking excuse for running Suzuki out there nearly every day these last 2 weeks.

So much better to put Donaldson out there. You showcase a guy for a possible trade if you keep Suzuki, or you put him out there to see what he can do over regular playing time for a little bit.

If you mean the last actual minute, well, duh. In that sense you always lose in the last minute, because as soon as you lose that’s the end.

Just want to point out that yesterday was the 5th anniversary of Bill King's last game as a broadcaster

I remember listening on my computer, while I did stuff in the kitchen, to the last game of the season, a meaningless game in Seattle, because I wanted to hear Bill and Ken one last time before the end of the season. I’m still thankful I tuned into the game.

I’m remembering Bill today, listening to the A’s radio PXP of a meaningless game in Seattle, while I do stuff in the kitchen.

I really hope Bill makes it to the HOF this year.

I really liked the pastor there. (Or whatever they call him. The guy who gives the sermons.) He was awesome.

  Turning and turning in the widening gyre
    The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
    Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
    Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
    The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
    The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
    The best lack all conviction, while the worst
    Are full of passionate intensity.

    Surely some revelation is at hand;
    Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
    The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
    When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
    Troubles my sight: a waste of desert sand;
    A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
    A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
    Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
    Wind shadows of the indignant desert birds.
    The darkness drops again but now I know
    That twenty centuries of stony sleep
    Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
    And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
    Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
