It’s the Alameda Aphid’s crazy Turbo II: Junkyard Boogaloo boombox, made entirely of car parts and featured here at a Coliseum tailgate party a few weeks back.  If you look closely you’ll see me and mikeA, and Poppy!  Well, actually, Poppy’s guacamole.  But (like old married couples and people obsessed with their dogs), they sorta resemble one another.

Part one of the post is here; it shows off all the cool features like the three cigarette lighters, the cupholder, and the telescoping dual power antennae!

McFood is right, the ferry is the only way to go to SomeBigCo park.  It's fun, pretty, romantic, and salty...whoo hoo!  Two ferry tips from the cheapskate's view:

--You can openly drink your own beer on the upper deck and won't get hassled.  They also sell beer, but, ya know...

--Parking is free at the Alameda ferry landing.  Embark there instead of Oakland.  It's a more nautical feeling dock too.

Still raving about his heat, the D-Backs promoted (!) Neighborgall to South Bend of the Midwest League this year. The stat line looks like a hallucination. In five games and one inning, Neighborgall gave up a dozen walks and tossed nine wild pitches for a dozen earned runs and a 108.00 ERA. Even playing a simple game of catch required more control that Neighborgall could muster before he was dispatched to extended spring training.

At losing!  Follow the quest of #755 if you will, but Phillies fans are tracking a more substantial milestone:  only 14 losses until they tally the 10,000th loss in franchise history!  And now the New York Times has noticed.  Still, the august Grey Lady's not as entertaining the official countdown to 10,000 page.

But, as a commenter at the 700 level observes, The Phillies are "the oldest continuous holding one-name, one franchise in all of the professional sports."  So they've had lots of chances.  At least 10,000 + 1.

Meyer, who won for Sacramento at Fresno on Monday night, has struck out 24 batters, total, in his last three starts, covering 16 innings. He has given up six runs and seven walks in those three outings.

"Comeback player of the year,'' A's director of player development Keith Lieppman said. "He's been just wild enough to put up great strikeout numbers. Dan's velocity is back and he's healthy. He's able to do what he wants.''

I won't be able to go.  Section 115, Row 37.  Just be the first to respond below.

Big Hurt's big compliments: In his first trip back to the Bay Area since rejuvenating his career in Oakland last season, Frank Thomas was warmly greeted by fans and had nothing but nice things to say about his former organization and general manager Billy Beane.

"It's been unbelievable, but Billy's the Zen master," he said about the A's dealing with a plethora of injuries. "I didn't want to leave here, but I had to weigh the future. I got a third year. At my age, you do what you have to do for your family."

Thomas said he's still adjusting to the life of American League East baseball.

"It's not laid-back like the Bay," he said. "Playing the Yankees and Boston so much, it's a circus."

"It's a maturity thing."

well, casilla does mature faster than other players.

... and there's nary a mention of A "T&A Park" or T&A N-E-thing, and certainly no pitchers thereof.

That's false advertising, McDump.

using the term "Frisco"  my mother,2nd generation native, would give a loud harummppphhh.

"I just want the fans to know that I love them very much and my wife is a liar, a liar. I'm tired of being a victim of all this crap. She beats me up when I go to sleep. Every time I go to sleep she throws her fists on me. I just married the wrong woman."
