Why No Gordon?
Who’s pitching for the Sailors?

Never Mind, It's
Rowland-Smith. Our 2-5 hitters should tear him a new one tonight.
I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.
He's been pretty bad as a starter this season
Half as many strikeouts as innings pitched, and nearly as many walks as strikeouts.
This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.

put Gordon on third and Teabag in the outfield and that is a major league
line-up (or as close as we get)

I trust your cosmic connection with Mr. Shealy

The connection is very real,

Although Shealy also has very decent calves, I guess I should give him credit for that…

We have a chance tonight
to move 10.5 games ahead of the Mariners. And if we do so, we have to lose the rest of our games while everyone else wins the rest of theirs to even get into a coin flip for that #1 draft pick.

that would keep the mystery alive in the season
