Agreed. Here's the Jemaine Clement song, for all of us Flight of the Concords fans. https://youtu.be/93lrosBEW-Q

Well, that was fun!! Now that we've got Lucas Giolito out of the way, and La Makkkkkkkkina and Poppen gave the bullpen a much needed rest, we should be able to increase our lead over Cleveland this weekend. Right? Oh, right, Cleveland never loses to bad teams, and according to Randball Stu, they are going on a month of playing against KC. Or as my wife calls them, the "Royales with Cheese." Good to see the Bomba Squad doing its thing as well. Although, I had to miss much of the game last night because my 7-year-od daughter had to watch Moana again. I had seen two Cruz missiles, and enough of JO to feel pretty comfortable just following the Game Thread until about the 8th inning. And Moana is a pretty good movie. My wife and I haven't seen a non-kids movie in the theater for a long time. The bright side of that is that there are a lot of good kids movies. The animation is incredible, and the humorous nods to the parents are very well done. Jemaine Clement plays a character that sings a song in Moana, for example. Unfortunately, tonight we have to go to a park where Mary Poppins is playing outside. Of course, it's monsoon season here, so there's a 50/50 chance it'll be rained out, and I might get to watch the end of the game. Hopefully, the end will be as anticlimactic as last night. When I was young, there were not nearly so many good kids movies. I think my favorite was Jungle Book. I loved King Louie's song. . . . But enough about kids movies. Let's keep the Bomba Squad momentum against the ChiSox! Michael Pineda ® 6-5, 4.41 ERA, 95 SO v.

Damn!! I had to go and mention it, didn't I?

Give him some elbow pads, sports goggles, and a sweatband, and he’s that guy I’m afraid of on the basketball court.

Yes.

That was one helluva Bremergasm. Think I need a smoke. Edit: ninja’d by Chief.

7 runs in the 8th and 9th innings. That’s too much. Do something, FO.

Unbelievable.

Sano don’t hit for clutch.

Great play, Jorge!!!

Thy aren’t interested in the Amazing Twitch?

Pushing Jose Ramirez on my list of least favorite to face adversaries.

Vitamin I, stat! And lots of it.

I hope (and suspect) the whole "off limits" thing with certain prospects is posturing. In any negotiation, you want the opposing side to believe that your agreement to a deal is reluctant and painful to you.

Lewis?

You’ve been a . . . worthy. . . adversary?

Chicken Enchiladas!!!!

I didn’t even know what Trolls were before ESPN.

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie!!! Oy, Oy, Oy!!!!!

Cover the children’s eyes, Thorpe is pumped up!!!

Does not appear that the A’s need Liam tonight.

We softened them up for ‘em.

Nice!! Find ways to score, boys!!

Pirhanas!!

How about a bunt here?

Nice patience, Rook!
