The team meeting, and not a crappy opposing pitcher, led to the offensive explosion. This is so well written. Thank you.

FREE KRAUT! 
My life is richer for having seen that trailer.
The die is cast…I have excused myself from work, and am meeting my buddy in the Coliseum BART lot at 11:00 to begin our cross-Bay doubleheader: Zito versus the Nats in SF, a hop to the Mission for burritos to go from El Farolito, then back to Oakland to watch the superhero Outman dispatch the Royals like so many question-mark-adorned Riddler henchmen.
Too bad the A’s aren’t hosting Arizona, so you could watch the superhero Outman dispatch the D-backs like so many question-mark-adorned Riddler Hinchmen.
Goodman on BB s2e10
Not that it was a bad ep[isode], but I liked Goodman’s wrapup more than the ep[isode] itself.

I’m going with flash forward for the last question.
FF, or dream/fantasy/nightmare?
I thought it was a vague enough scene that they’ll start to periodically update it (maybe moving backwards.)
Yep.
And 10 was a bit of a letdown after the last three episodes.
Today’s I’m pretending this is actually about baseball link:
OK, I can’t help myself: been wondering what Jeff Kent is up to since retiring?
(No, I know.)
Has anyone ever figured out how Kent suddenly morphed from established pretty good-ness (5-6 years worth) to one of the best players in the league around age 30? That’s got to be rare, right? Luis Gonzalez is the only other guy that comes to mind.
I’m not talking about players who just never got a chance early in their careers; I mean guys who played at level X for several years, shifted out of the blue to level X squared, and maintained that new level for a long time.
I guess PEDs is the easy answer, but I don’t know … it seems too easy.
Combination of PEDs + Waskally Bud’s Wabbit Ball.
And though (a) I don’t believe in “protection” and (b) he hit behind Bonds most of the time anyway, I wouldn’t reject out of hand the possible effect that proximity to Bonds had on pitchers throwing to him.
It’s a dangerous world.
Let’s be careful out there.
Bayside. Just got miracled with club level seats. Time for a smoke.
In row D behind SF dugout. No glove. Must remain alert.
I thought you said it was the Giants against the Nationals.
Having Sheboyhans and Anchors delivered to seat. Feeling opulent. BZ thinks he’s found it.
BZ looks scrumptious in cream.
Whipped?
If that hadn’t been the link, I’da posted it.
Gawd, you’re old.

Back in the BART lot with burritos and a cooler. More my style.
I had a friend who once got the hell beat out of him by Bartpolice. Careful with your burrito, amigo.
