I've come to the conclusion that the two most important things in life are good friends and a good bullpen.

Surveys have shown that Friday game threads

are more enjoyable and nutritious than any other day of the week.

Coincidence? I think not.

Yes, rarely

“Since the late 1980s, usage has become the following: in AA and AAA games, the DH is used unless both teams are farm clubs of NL teams, in which case pitchers bat. In class A or lower games, the DH is always used. Though it is officially a AAA league, the Mexican League uses a DH in all games.”

that would 'splain it

why BBG didn’t think it was an earned run. So when was the A’s last earned run anyway? Any old-timers or history buffs around?
