didn't you get the memo?

Despite being dead,
I thought they were going to use him as the closer. Maybe it's just a day off before starting his duties.

Hope he wakes up from the dead soon. Even if it's as a zombie. Zombie Duke would probably be better than normal Duke has lately.

Bocachica talk

on the radio.

My dream outfield:  Cust, Bocachica, Doyle.

Seriously:  three of my personal favorites, none of whom I expected to ever see in an A's uniform again.
