Well, since the A's have the day off, for the first time 18 days, we will make this section brief. A big series coming up with the Yankees, with the Rangers on the horizon next week. In between the A's will host the Mariners, and they won't catch any breaks as they will face both the King and Seattle other pitching gem, Hisashi Iwakuma. Iwakuma was 6-1, with a sub 2.00 ERA heading into tonight's game with Houston. At this point, the only move I would like to see the good guys in green and gold make is to let go of a reliever, and bring up a position player. Currently their roster consists of 7 relievers, and two of them could easily be contracted into one. Bringing up another position player would give BoMel some late-inning flexibility and it would be beneficial to give Josh Donaldson and Jed Lowrie a break now then. Both of these infielders have been stellar at the plate, keeping them fresh would just helps to keep them rolling once the dog days arrive.l
If you like fireworks, this Friday June 15, after the game against Seattle, it is boom boom tiime. My kids always enjoy the show at the O.Co--of course, by the time the Fireworks start going off, they are on sugar overload, but oh well, that's how we roll!
In honor of father's day, I had another warm fuzzy parenting moment, this time from 10 year old daughter, who is essentially a cross between, Lucy of the Peanuts gang, Lucille Ball, Carol Burnett, with maybe a bit of Shirley Temple thrown in their for good measure. So, this past weekend, sure enough she was at 6 a.m. on both Saturday and Sunday watching the French Open Finals! I was so proud. I had to tell her that Maria S. has a bit of a "thing" for the her father. Sunday we watched Raffy do his thing. Again. Then, to top it off, for the the first time, she actually sat down and watched a Triple Crown Race. I get teary eyed just thinking about it! She actually picked the New York Horse Unlimited Budget. Just like her father, she seems to have the knack for picking a horse who lags behind. Oh well. I can only hope next year she will actually want to sing my Old Kentucky Home in May! Serena Williams is such a stud--man I would love to have seen her play Martina in her day. That would have been two ladies slugging it out, Bash Sisters Style!
Flipping the remote:
*I still think the Spurs and Heat are going 7. The 2-3-2 format actually hurts the Spurs in my opinion.
*Chicago vs. Boston in Lord Stanley's Final. This is all I can muster--Boston was literally on the canvas in the first round, training Toronto 4-1 in the Final period before pulling off the Boston Miracle. Is there something about Boston teams making the most memorable comebacks? There was Bird stealing the win from the Pistons; the Red Sox down 3-0 to the Bombers in the playoffs, and who can forget Brady and the Tuck. Give those Bostonians life, and they will break hearts! I almost forgot Doug Flutie pulling off the Hail Mary against Bernie Kosar and Miam U. If any city needs a championship, I think you would agree it's Boston. Yes, it would also be nice if Oklahoma U. won the National Championship in College Football! Oklahoma and Boston, peace to all of you.
On Deck: Father's Day Baby! Big Screens and Victoria Secret of course! No vegetable on the plate, only ribs, chicken, and steak! Hot wings as an appetizer of course.
