Springtime Baseball

The smell of springtime is drifting in through the open door on the balcony, I am ensconced on the couch where I've been taking up residence most of the day. Fortunately, the A's are on the tube (yet again) and are cleaning up on the Rangers. Is it just me, or can we beat the pants of these guys? After a 9-0 victory last night, in which Barry Zito went 9 full without allowing a run, no less, the A's are pounding the Rangers 12-2. The A's have scored in every inning but the first. Mulder seems to be shaping up, as he went 7 full allowing 2 ER but striking out 5. As it stands, the A's will play the Rangers again tomorrow on ESPN (allowing me to watch the entire trifecta) and then get a day off before six home games against Detroit and Cleveland.
10-8. Not bad. They've just finished their shellacking of the Rangers. For those that have not had the chance to utilize dictionary.com, that means "To strike repeatedly and severely; batter."
Couldn't have said it better myself.

Ahhhhh Saturday

So, it is Saturday here in Washington, and Jay and Dave and I had waffles and music this morning around noon. It's been a lazy day here. I stayed up way too late watching the Oakland A's and especially Barry Zito, who manhandled Texas with a brutal fastball/change-up combo.
This morning, post waffles, we headed over to the park and tossed the rock around. Ladies and Gents, this is what Saturdays in the spring are all about. Weather's a bit chilly and the field was a bit muddy, but it worked out okay in the long run.
It's also poker night, which means I've got to find some chips!
