The Yankees make their final west coast trip of the season, and we’re not even at the All-Star Break yet. Go figure that.
Sox and Rays are playing tonight, so have at it if you’re just kickin’ around before the late night game in Oakland.
We Keep the Light On…

Welcome to my neighborhood.
Catch you all in the a.m. Hopefully there will be a Yankee victory to go with morning coffee.
Ken! We miss the Toaster (WordPress sucks!) and I hope it may one day re-manifest itself. In the meantime, thanks for having us! >;)

[1] toaster master!
your neighborhood has strange mound rules. must be unwritten zoning laws in the bay area! ; )
garza got out of a 2-on, 1-out jam top 1.
rays have struck first in the bottom of the frame.
1-run in off dice-klay
A Bob Timmermann sighting yesterday ... a Ken Arneson sighting today .... cool.
Ken!
That's awesome. I hung out with Ken once and it was great. Would love to be out there in Oakland on vacation catching a game with him. Love to have him give me to the tour of his home team. That'd be so cool.
non-all-star joey votto just hit his 20th homer of the season. off mike pelfrey, no less.
[7] we need a josh wilker sighting next! i finished cardboard gods the other week...
all-star omar infante just grounded out to doc halladay...
christ. how the fuck does eric patterson have 5 freaking homeruns?! of course, the shit sox got him and now he tied the game...
a run apiece. ugly up...
[9],[10] Ain't nothin' like incentive... (well, maybe vindictive...)
Mets game has gotten interesting .... foul tip strikeout overruled by 2B umpire, turns into HBP with bases loaded
The Diamondbacks have designated Dontrelle Willis for assignment, per a team press release.
[8] Come by any time, Alex. I'd be happy to guide you around and let you know which mounds are safe to cross.

When I was in San Fran last year, Ken and I had a nice little lunch together one afternoon. Ken is the real deal.
Werth’s Wor– Uh, Trade Value
http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/index.php/werths-wor-uh-trade-value-hypothetical/
Hypothetically, though, how valuable would Werth be if the Phillies were to shop him?
Werth’s wOBA is over .380 for the fourth season in a row,
Taken together, +30 offense +10 fielding -7.5 position + 20 NL replacement level = about a 5 WAR player over a full season.
Werth’s contract is up after the season, and he will almost certainly be a Type A free agent,
[17]
and the Phils have his replacement all ready already .... Domonic Brown.
Stoudamire? I'm about to return my Knicks fandom ID card.. any thoughts, Chyll or Ms. October??
Yanks - A's...yawn....
Dice-K up to his old tricks, blowing a 5 - 1 lead. Rays with 1st and 3rd, no out, bottom of the 6th, as Dice-K is out.
Shit! Safety squeeze fails! Man on 1st and 2nd, 1 out. Why do that with NO outs???
No matter what happens tonight, my night is made by this purchase ..

[19] I won't even dignify that with a response...
