Around SBN: Following UFC 146 Loss, Jason 'Mayhem' Miller 'Done' in UFC

Open Thread: Game 35 - A's at Rangers (5) - CT Thread

We go to the 12th! Rangers all over the bases, A's bullpen doing their best Houdini impressions. After a 1, 2, 3 inning by Breslow in the 11th, the A's offense (who has done a lot of nothing) tries to score ONE run.

Update: A's lose in the 12th.

Sadly

You could make an arguement that today’s starting lineup for the A’s was the worst we have EVER put out on the field. Perhaps the worst in MLB history, in terms of experience and numbers. To my calculations, 7 or 8 of the starters were in the minors at some point last year or this year. Can anyone think of a worse lineup? Even the 2008 Giants were more threatening i’d argue

who was INTO glee club. She was part of it at U of Virginia and they were SERIOUS about it.

She was quirky. I liked her. I think she actually liked me too, but I was too dense to notice.
