Are they faucets? That's what I always *want* to call them, but then I think that I'm wrong, and that the faucet's where the water comes out.
Not where you're going with this, huh?
Not exactly, nope.
Though if I were, could I hire one of these as the poolboy/manservant? (keeping the existing spouse, natch): [link]
I've always thought that the faucet is what controls the temperature and volume of water, but the tap was where the water came out of.

I've always thought that 'faucet' and 'tap' are the same thing - where the water comes out of.
Apparently, after looking at plumbing supply sites (dear Santa: clawfoot for Christmas, plz.), the technical term for the thing appears to be...
are you ready???
HANDLE.
I'm a little shower, short and fat. Here is my handle and here is my tap.
Well shit, the A's just lost their centerfielder for three months to back surgery.

PERK?
I just got into my hotel in Boise and logged in to check on stuff and this is what I find? *&@#^#*$#$
Ignoring that - I'm here, safe and sound. Uneventful flight and hotel check in. But too zoomy to sleep.
Kotsay's out with a herniated disk.
Milton goes to CF.
Swish to Right. Shannon Stewart to Left. Probably DJ at first. Means we'll also keep our Rule V pick (for now anyway), Ryan Goleski.
If DJ doesn't hit, they'll keep Ruby (I guess) and play him at first.
Or...time to bring up Buck and Barton!
Probably DJ at first.
Please let this year be better than last. Can Scutaro play first? Probably not, but I'd still take him over DJ.
Before heading to the airport, I just put the family calendar together, meshing K-Bug's softball schedule, CJ's Little League games, and our A's games. What a mess. We have all three games in one day in April...they are staggered just enough that if we were on crack, we could probably get to all of them. I'll have to come up with an alternate plan eventually.

They might put Melhuse over there. God knows he's not getting any playing time behind Kendall, and we can always use Piazza as the backup catcher.
