    I’m not waiting for Poppy.

    First we trade O-Cab for last year’s prospect who Billy still carries a torch for…and then Pennington takes over.

    That’s, um, some meat of the order, right there.

      I’m trying to figure out which one’s TNT, which one’s beef, which one’s brawn, and which one’s dynamite. Everidge looks like the beef. After that, I’m at a loss.

        Cliffy bears a passing resemblance to Ben Braun. At least they’re both short.

      I didn’t even know he’d been called up until Dick Callahan told me and certainly no more than 7000 other people.

      I laughed.

    Damn, I’m one of the bigger Davis critics but he’s been pretty unDFAvis like for a while now.

      Yeah… he’s actually, like, significantly above replacement level (~1 WAR)

    Great play by Pennington.

    You know, I just looked at pictures of Tommy Everidge. I know him. Or knew him. He was in at least two of my classes.

    Wow, the sfgate comments on the OCab trade are quite in a class of their own (even accounting for the fact that they’re, well, sfgate comments). I had no idea A’s fans held OCab in such high esteem, considering that he was one of the worst MLB regulars just a month and a half ago and is still a below average player even after this hot streak.

        That’s almost enough to make me want to hand-code a comment rec-ing system.
