1. Your sn is not El Trumado and you don't have his reverse prediction ability.

2. You're lucky the umps blew a call today,

otherwise Texas would be one game closer to losing the West.

That stinks.

4. You're not just a Frisco Whiner...

You are The Bay Area Whiner!

Where in this story does it mention a blown call?

A hit batter and an error by the A's, yes.

8. Second base ump called an infield fly rule

in the fourth inning as Green was backpedaling to make a catch in the outfield, but he lost the ball in the sun. It was an error, not an out. The A's would have had the bases loaded with one out and their best hitter, Josh Donaldson, at the plate.

3. Let's hope this doesn't happen again during the playoffs.

5. You've heard of The Earthquake Series, right?

Any playoff here would be now be called The Olfactory Series.


Is that why they now call it O.co Coliseum?

[KamaAina]

7. No.

that would be because someone actually wanted to buy the naming rights to it, unlike "The Ballpark at Arlington", which sounds like a ticky-tacky condo development.

6. It's official--we have the worst stadium

in the entire country. Thank you very much, Lew Wolff, you cheapskate.
