   I’m here.

   mlb.tv is so amazing this year, I’m watching the A’s game on regular TV, and four games on my computer (Cleveland,
   Florida, Minnesota, Arizona).

   Sweeney batting third?
   This is like a typical 07-08 A’s lineup-o-rejects.

   Wasn’t MLB supposed to
   address the bat thing? They’re still breaking, at least so far.

   It was probably a bad
   idea to start Anderson in my other fantasy league.

   Marlins score in the 9th
   to win. I predict another September collapse for the Mets, just because it would be so entertaining.

   Zito somehow makes it through an inning without giving up a run.

   The Mariners play by play guy just said Cabrera
   “supplanted Bobby Crosby, a long time fan favorite here in Oakland.”

    Zito lasted a full four
    innings, I guess that’s why he gets the big bucks and RRS doesn’t.

    So what happened to Anderson in that 2nd inning ? And
    how has he looked otherwise ?

    (Nothing but gameday here)

    That’s the exact outside
    spot that’s not really a strike yet is consistently called a strike.

    <![CDATA[New Stomper suit! New Stomper suit! The A's finally dumped the old moth-eaten carpet remnant of a mascot suit they'd been using since Stomper's debut in '97. The new fur is much more soft and shiny. Less matted. And the hat now comes off by design during his dance moves. On ride home, Buan informs me that the A's have lost their last nine consecutive "secondary home openers."]] >

    I hate it when the MLB & NBA seasons overlap.

    Headline on sfgate: “Ellis done for year…” (meaning #8, of course, not #14, but that shit gives me a heart
    attack every time)
