      The main reason I selected the Milwaukee-Cincinnati road trip was that I haven’t been to either city in ~25 years, so both ballparks are new to me. The other reason was, considering this issue back in January, who are some teams the 2016 A’s might play maybe 3 competitive games out of 5 against?

    Randomly thinking about the contract dilemma for superstars – take an enormous contract and you may consume enough of the payroll to prevent the team from competing; take a smaller contract and there’s no guarantee that management will use the savings to better the team.

    Has anyone ever had a contract with a lower base but add-ons based on whether the team loses a certain number of games, so that it costs management to surround a (relatively) cheap superstar with dross?

    Today’s Manchester United game was abandoned after a bomb was found in the stadium. It turned out to be a training device inadvertently left behind after a security exercise with search dogs.

    You’d think that you’d be (a) very careful to count them out and count them back in again, and (b) a bit concerned that the dogs didn’t find one of them.

    If this is His will, He's a son of a bitch.
    • andeux May 16,2016 2:50 pm || Up

      A couple months ago the CIA left some actual explosives in a school bus that they borrowed from the local school district for training exercises.

      TINSTAAFK
    • ptbnl May 16,2016 5:36 pm || Up

      So with more information:
      – they did count them out and back in again, but they got the count wrong.
      – the device contained no explosives, so the dogs wouldn’t have been able to find it.
      The latter is a bit odd because I can’t imagine what value an unfindable device has in a training exercise.

      If this is His will, He's a son of a bitch.
      • AV May 16,2016 11:40 pm || Up

        because if and when they find them, they’re not unfindable. they’re simply findable for the wrong reason.

        we meant to train the dogs to find explosives… they’re rather keen on the smell of burberry handbags though. whoops!

    Don’t know the back story but Joey B probably shouldn’t have stepped to Odor like that if he wasn’t going to be ready to defend himself or throw a hand of his own. He seems to have misjudged whether or not Odor is about that life.

    • Future Ed May 15,2016 6:02 pm || Up

      story is bautista hit in the inning, benches warned. joey bats posed.

      then he did a filthy dirty slide into second on a dp. Odor turned and bautista stepped up and got clocked. Beltre grabbed bautista just before he was about to be destroyed

      after the melee, jesse chavez hit fielder with the first pitch of the next inning and walked off the field

      Thoroughly outclassed. They couldn’t get a single PP attack started in 6 minutes, seemed to have trouble clearing 5-5, and clearly aren’t as physical.

      I’m debating whether they can drag the series to 6, but I don’t at all see them advancing.

      • FreeSeatUpgrade May 16,2016 10:48 am || Up

        I’m not that pessimistic. Despite not playing their best game the Sharks had plenty of chances to score, good pressure on the goal most of the 2nd period and at the end of the 3rd. I expect all the games will be close, which means it can be anyone’s chance to win.
