2017

Let’s start with the obvious. It is generally agreed that 2016 was a Bad Year (not just for the A’s hitters. Or for that matter the A’s pitchers.) It started out kind of blah, continued as if enveloped in a permanent miasma, and ended in disaster both too obvious and too depressing to talk about ...

Seems like we need a new place to talk about the affairs of state or whatever, seeing as how the last election thread is cursed and overstuffed and we’re never waking up from this nightmare and I don’t want to pollute the chess thread with less intellectually weighty matters.

I’m not remotely ready to move on from what has Happened Here, nor do I think doing so is a good idea. But I do need to think about other things for a bit before I go nuts. May as well be sport. The USA Dudes National Team starts the final round of World Cup ...
