The A's are doing their part to make sure I don't have any athletic distractions through the summer.

I painfully had to give up four tickets to tonight's game. Including parking.

Were you waterboarded?

How's it gone since?

Fun series to watch against the Mets. It was ugly, and the Mets lost more than the Dodgers won. But all three of those games were games that they would have found a way to lose last season. Despite playing pretty poorly over all, they managed to keep themselves in the games and take advantage of the Mets' playing even worse, a good sign for a team.

And exactly what I was talking about when I said Manny being out may turn out to be a net positive. If they're winning games like that without Manny, just wait until they have him back! (assuming he's "him" without his fertility drugs).

Under the laws of sportwriting cliché, if the Dodgers do well without Manny, doesn't his return become a distraction?

Randy Johnson just won game no. 300, with a Brian Wilson four-out save. Only the sixth lefty and 24th overall to join the 300 club. Lots of "Randy! Randy!" cheers from the Nationals fans in DC.

Methinks this will be the last 300 game winner in my lifetime.

Alex · 06-04-2009, 05:28 PM

Oh, I don't know. Andy Pettite is almost 40 wins ahead of Johnson's pace at the same age. Admittedly, Johnson had two incredible years in his late 30s (24 and 21 wins) but whereas Johnson averaged 14.5 wins over the last eight years, Pettite only needs to average 10 (and he's done better than that every single year of his career but one so far).

By no means a lock but not necessarily a long shot either.

Unless you're expecting to die relatively soon.

Yes, we get quite excited when our teams sets yet another record. Go nats!
