who wants to watch Andy Murray lose again?
ME! I’ll watch taped tennis highlights, that’s how much I dislike him.
I'm watching Eri Yoshida making her fourth start
Live video. I think the announcer just said it’s 94 degrees in Chico, so glad I’m not there.

Hah. Why do you dislike him so much?
I’m kind of ambivalent (but I am watching the “highlights” now)

just his tantrumy personality and excessive fistpumping
he’s a good player. I just don’t want him to win Wimbledon. He can win a US Open or an Australian, but let’s keep the British suffering.
heh. The Beckhams' facial expressions during this match are hilarious.

Seriously.
Best offensive player this year. And it’s not close. He’s just been fantastic.
She lives by the wall, and waits by the door.
She walks in the sun, to me.
And by the way,
just to revisit it again, the package we got for Mark Mulder just keeps getting sweeter and sweeter.
She lives by the wall, and waits by the door.
She walks in the sun, to me.
Oh man, the back-to-back Huddy and Mulder trades...
that was a dark, dark time. The memories of Juan Cruz and Charles Thomas refuse to fade away completely, though first Danny and now Daric are quite helpful in that regard.
And don't forget Kiko. He wasn't bad.
She lives by the wall, and waits by the door.
She walks in the sun, to me.
He was Casilla when Casilla was Jairo.
The good Casilla, too.

Except he keeps calling Daric Dallas
And forgot that the first AB after the broken finger, he hit an HR

Well the first 30 minutes is blah blah talking analysis chattery.
You won’t have to really tune in until 6:30. Deal? Cool.

.500 in this pre-contending year is not bad at all. I don’t know about you, but Anderson/Cahill/Gio/Braden/(Outman/Mazzaro/whatever) is golden, even if the offense never gets better.

Some dude wrote a post about black alts. They look nice but they have to go. I do not understand the “look nice” part of that sentence.
Heh. Went there yesterday but haven't read anything.

I agree, actually.
If they were an isolated uniform for an unknown team, I’d say that they look pretty sharp. The hate comes from the fact that they are the green and gold A’s, not the black, white, and
gold

Me three.
Even just for a season. Like, in 2012 they should wear the ’72 gold tops as an alt. 40-year anniversary of a World Series win. In 2002, they wore those for a few weeks, and it was glorious.
I think I'd want to see a more modern update of them
Darker and more green. But using the classic gold as a base.
Ask me about my squirrel.
Gold based caps too!
Just flip their classic colors.

@ChronLiveCSN Cahill should be the A’s rep. He has a 2.25 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 2.7 BB/9 rate in his last 12 starts. (He’s made 13 overall.)
