OK, the lead is intact, more or less. Time for the batters to pick up the load and score a few.

[USAFChief]

7 runs will not win this game. 

Let's go boys. "In play, runs" if you don't mind

 

[Aggies7]

A lot of zany games in Oakland over the years. Was it a 10 run lead we blew once? Then the Arraez error game. Spooky ooky occurrences 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Pop quiz. I get it...

Onamia?

No, just 305 miles south of there but right on US Highway 169, so you were kinda close!😜

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Did we miss the inning to quote beatles lyrics?

Is there still a seminary there in Onamia?

Siri kept calling me "Shirley" today. Then I realized my phone was in Airplane mode.

So, like, the Onamia suburbs.

Speaking of, Mrs. IT and I were on a walk outside of town today. Went past a farm that had a sign, "Duck, eggs."

I thought, "That's an unnecessary comma." 

Then it hit me.

[USAFChief]

Eighteen. 

Eight. Teen.

Does Pablo come back out at 87 pitches?

All of a sudden I have gotten the feeling that maybe the Pablo Cruise band that is here in town, might not be legit?

Gonna go out on a limb and posit they ARE legit.

There can't POSSIBLY be a Pablo Cruise cover band, can there??

Maybe it's a band covering a Pablo Cruise cover band.

[USAFChief]

Tough play, but a lot of big league 3rd basemen make it.

[RickOShea]

Is this Geloff related to Bob, who created Live Aid?

[SwainZag]

Haven't seen any of the game but.... are we an offense now who can't pitch or?  🤔
