Fox DFA’d 22

Tossing a shitty fat guy over the deck of the Titanic.

Needed: Starting Pitching 51

I admit it. I find it exceptionally easy to suggest that other people should spend their money on things that I want. I don’t think that makes me a bad person… just practical. And maybe a bit of a mooch… with a touch of whore mixed in for character development.

Shito vs Zeets 2

No Lorna Luft: sore knees.

what the fuck 5

Giants/A’s 15

It’s theater night at Pac Bell park: vs. Both teams send brain dead Caribbean hitters hacking at slop to the plate. Giants are probably the better team but the moral fiber of the A’s will carry them to victory tonight.

Is it hot stove season already? 68

First off, here’s what Sickels thinks about our draft: Very heavy offense, with an obvious focus on power and strike zone judgment. I like the way they mixed high school and college hitters. The pitching picks are unimpressive on first blush, and I wonder if they could have done better with that, though teen round ...

Game 62: A’s vs Slegna 65

That doesn’t mean he’s not any good 49

They don’t require nepotistic sinecures, either. John Cole: still a master ...

Game 61 A’s vs. Anaheim 60

Fun lineup: Ellis DH Barton 1B Suzuki C Kz 3B Rosales 2B Sweeney RF Fox LF Carson CF Cliffy SS Seems like Rosales lf, Fox DH would be better, but whatever.

Happy serfing! 61

Kevin Drum’s CA Prop roundup. I also agree with this (and I did vote against 14): UPDATE: A reader emails to note that Prop 14 passed every place except San Francisco and Orange Country. “FWIW, my guess is that what SF and the OC have in common is a high level of partisanship relative to ...
