Granderson Silliness

I know we're all having lots of fun with the Granderson rumors, including this thread.I'm beginning to think we have a new meme here... I can see it during the season: "See, we should have traded for Granderson".... Just a random thought.

Are you going to the playoffs?

Assuming that the Angels make the playoffs.... Got my tiix for Game 2. I'll be in 507 (unfortunately, it'll probably be in the middle of a bunch of chowds).

Wednesday's Trivia Question

Wednesday's AFLAC trivia question was: Other than the Angels, which 3 teams have winning seasons each the past 6 years (counting this one). Turns out they were the Yanks, the Sux and the Phils.

Disclaimer: Sux need one more win to guarantee a winning season, Phils need 3.

A really dumb question

This has been sort of bugging me at the back of my mind since 8/30 (when I was at the Big A to see Lackey's 100th win)... One of the Oakland players had an OBP that was lower than his BA. How the heck can this happen?

Is a tradition dead?

I couldn't make it in the past (nor could I have this year), but I just realized that the HH All-Star Vegas trip didn't get planned this year!
