A new (Jewish) year, a new beginning for the A's. It's time to brush off Sunday's loss and start a new winning streak! It's the year 5773 and I hope the New Year provides Dingerz, Winz, and Manischewitz Wine.

L'shanah tovah!

Probables

5) When you're here, you're mischpucha: The A's are playing like one big happy family. And our happy family can hit the long ball. How many HR's do the A's hit in the series (3pts). Name as many players as you want that hit a HR (2pts each). But for every incorrect guess, you must deduct 2pts. (Many pts possible)

Good Luck and may the Schwartz be with you! Go A's!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!

P.S. During services the congregation holds a prayer (Meesha Berra) for those that are in need of healing. Everyone goes around saying a name that needs prayers. I said Coco Crisp with the hopes that we can heal his conjunctivitis. #reformjews
