Baseball and rain - non-mixey things, and yet....tonight's A's game was fantastic.

Ahhhhhhhhhh. I love the feeling after watching a good game and getting the win. I also love the gentle buzz of the perfect application of just enough alcohol.

What do I do with a 220 outlet in a bedroom? That feels like I need to put in a call to Tim Taylor.

Great cross post! Sending out baseball vibes to Hec.

and yet....tonight's A's game was fantastic.

JZ was complaining early on: "Why did you introduce something else into my life that's stressful and nervous-making?" But later admitted that the ending was thrilling. Two things that have my full confidence: Huston Street in the 9th when his tongue is hanging out and Marco Scutaro coming to the plate in the 9th at home with a man in scoring position.

The Red Sox lost tonight, but as long as the Yankees did too, it all balances out.

I'm glad Emmett is feeling better.

Hec, we were AT the game, with the rain falling out of the sky and everything.

Actually by that point DH was asleep in the car and I was watching the rest of the game with my Coliseum buddies.

Heh, and we made A-Rod look like the punk he is! Big talk after he hit a slam last night - but we whiffed him twice! Swinging!

I figured you were. When the lightning flashed here in SF I knew the game would get dumped on. On TV it looked like it was pouring. Glad Marco wrapped it up without extras. Dude's so baseball smart. In the post-game he said, "I saw Cano cheating towards the bag so I figured they'd pitch me in, and I looked to drive it."

Heh, and we made A-Rod look like the punk he is!

Yay, and Damon didn't score any runs! I checked; I don't watch non-Red Sox games.

Yay, and Damon didn't score any runs!

He almost hit a home run, actually. It just stayed in. But they stranded him.

Emmett kept yelling at him every time he came on the screen: "You traitor!"

Loving Emmett!
