Although he didn’t appear in the game, so maybe it hasn’t begun yet. Can we get a ruling on this? Anyway, today the A’s play the Orioles, who are bad but not quite as bad as the Royals, in Baltimore, where it is hot but not quite as hot as in KC. Gio vs. Guthrie. ...

Frankly, I wouldn’t object to Beane riding this meme into the ground between now and the end of the season. Springer claimed off waivers by the Rays — A’s get nothing in return but the cost savings (~$1M). Really? Nothing? Yup. Nothing.

Strangely, one of the selections is NOT “Rajai Davis OPS’s .800; Four Horsemen spotted on Mount Davis.” However, that oversight should not diminish the cynical joy to be had by playing Slate’s Choose Your Apocalypse game, wherein players select from 144 theories they’ve assembled for America’s possible annihilation.
