This one ?

I'm not sure what Kershaw is doing on the final play on the plate. Seems to completely give up on it.

Those announcers killing Puig

Convinced the Athletics will either continue to crap out and miss the playoffs entirely--or they will get hot and win the World Series. Don't really see an in-between here.

The A's and the Brewers having some kind of seasons. Yowsa. If you are gonna have a bad year, may as well do it from the get go, right?

I haven't been paying as much attention as I should have. Do the A's have a lot of injuries? If not, I expect them to bounce back. Brew Crew was never very good to begin with, I don't think.

A's don't have big injury issues but rather some of their guys just stopped hitting. Also, major pitching acquisitions Lester, Samardjzija and Hammel are 9-13. Lester is pitching well with no support but the other two have high ERAs.

Brewers starters are 1-11 with a 6.95 ERA over the last 13 games.

Well that's much better than substance abuse!

That seems almost impossibly horrible. I hope it's false.

by **CalvinBall** » Thu Sep 11, 2014 09:45:57

does it matter that she is asian? or is that to help narrow down who it might be?
