The 2008 season started with the Red Sox as champs. They were beaten by the A's, who were beaten back by Boston, who were then swept by Toronto, who lost to Oakland, who lost to Cleveland, and so on, until we reached our current champion.

It's the first hot day of the year here in Northern California, up over 80 degrees. The weather's too beautiful to be sitting inside in front of a TV watching Lenny DiNardo pitch. Instead, it was a perfect day to break out the Slip 'N' Slide for the kids:
The A's are in first place all by their lonesomes. I'll enjoy it while it lasts, but I think I'd be happy today even if they weren't.
It's snowing in Chicago. I might snap.
It was pretty weird with how hot it was here this afternoon to turn on the TV in the middle of the game and see people wearing parkas and mittens.
Travis Buck looked like he was wearing so many layers that it slowed down his swing. He was late on every fastball I saw. I figured, if you're wearing a ski mask that's covering your mouth when you're at bat, and the pitcher is wearing short sleeves, you've already lost the confrontation.
