The most important election, until the next one 355

I figure this will not only pile up quite a few comments but also extend at least through late Wednesday, so we might as well have a dedicated November 3-4, 2020 thread. I’m approaching it like I approach the A’s postseason, hoping for the best but deep in my heart knowing crushing defeat is close ...

Probably deserves a game thread. The winner could be MLB’s last champ under free America. We’ll see what the host serves at their White House visit. There’s almost no red in either of these teams color palates. "Kraut will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of ...

Montas leads the A’s against the *. Really need him to get past 5 today. LaStella is in the lineup.

DS Game 3: Play like a #2 seed, not like #2 238

Maybe playing as the visiting team at Dodger Stadium will put the A’s more in their element. We have an earlier start today at 12:35 so the shadows shouldn’t be in play until the 8th or 9th inning. If the A’s had a lead that might set up well for Hendriks. We know that a ...

So that game 1 sure was a disappointment. If only we had a recent example of our resiliency… While I am not in the immediate vicinity of Chavez Ravine, I can at least tell you in the south bay of LA it feels a bit cooler today. Hopefully that keeps at least some baseballs in ...

Now the Twins, that’s a team whose shit really doesn’t work in the playoffs. Ours can and has and will again. It’s another perfect day in the best place on earth. Yeah there’s more smoke and the eyes burn a little, and those cracks in the foundation got a lot bigger and that stupid fucking ...

None of us, or at least not many, thought the Major League Baseball season would still be going on the weekend of September 25-27. This is the Barry Manilow of baseball series and with perfect Sierra weather, which won’t be around much longer, tonight’s game is probably the only one I’ll see much of. There’s ...

Lads in green versus LAD 95

I confess that I think Dodger blue is beautiful. We’ve not done so great against National League teams this year, discounting the AAA team across the bay. Every series thread I’ve put up this year so far has been a sweep, one way or another. "Kraut will get you through times of no money better ...
