There's a lot of Central CA
I was think you were more in the Central Valley area. R-RS is in Modesto or thereabouts, I think, I assumed that central CA would mostly get this game. But perhaps farther south there is an imaginary line that puts you in the LA market, as Dannycakes suggested.

In my mind the line is the latitude line
that forms the northern border of Santa Barbara, Ventura, and San Bernardino counties.

That line makes sense to me
And what with Merced being north of Monterey, I sort of consider it in NorCal.

He usually eats like a couple of spoon fulls
He eats almost anything. He’s more like a dog as he also fetches and flops on command. Hangs around me all day. Every morning he comes in and wakes me up. The door flies open and he’s standing in the doorway waiting for me to acknowledge him, then he flies up on the bed and demands attention.
He also chases away the other cat when I am giving him attention. Quite funny as other people notice his little jealousy thing.

This was my big problem with The Departed
It just bugged the hell out of me that Damon and DiCaprio, both good looking guys, were both immediately all gaga over a woman who was, to put it nicely, not attractive.
She was like a 4 or a 5 and both guys had this immediate love at first sight thing going that just made no sense. It was my biggest (and really, only) problem with that movie.
I once told this to a group of people and one guy responded, “She was Boston pretty.”

He tried to throw somebody out at the plate the other day. It wasn't even close.

Being an A's fan? Or hating Williams?
My friends find it amusing, I think. I don’t much care. I find the White Sox teams of the past 6 or 7 years to be really, really difficult to root for anyway. It was sort of a slow thing, but once Williams traded for Carl Everett for the 17th time, I was done with them. It was easy to just slide into rooting harder for my 2nd favorite team.

Which does put him about 100 PA shy of being a qualifying hitter
