Okay, A's fans, you certainly deserved a rest after a long season, but now it's time to start shaking off the rust for October.

Well, Esteban, here's your last chance to post a decent ERA for the year. The chances of it happening are not high, but there you go.

Melhuse at third. It's, like, wow.

According to Korach during the pre-game, Perez is a scratch; he had to have his hand x-rayed earlier. Not sure whether Ellis or Scutaro is now playing.

8) Oedipus, 2B
9) Mrs. Pacino, SS

Antz in his Pantz®, grrrr....

I guess Beverly D'Angelo and Al Pacino are estranged and involved in a custody battle, so make that Ellen Griswold.

You actually took the time to research that after making the reference?

Not really; I just couldn't remember if it was her playing Barbara Miller in Entourage or someone else, and came across it on wiki.

Great call there at first...

God, I hate these blooping jagwads.

Jesus Christ, Kendall.

Just draining the suck out before Tuesday, right?

These morons are conceding that Frank might just be a Hall of Famer.

I wonder if Joe remembered to bring his gas can with him to the bullpen.

Fake Broadcaster Voice Guy just described 1995 as "when the Angels were chasing Seattle." Heh.

I seriously want him starting in center next year, with Kotsay playing the Payton role.
