Game 6 Chat: Da? Na. Si? Si!

The A’s scored four runs in an inning last night, while I had left the room to change a diaper and Stewmate Philip Michaels left his TV to go shopping. The key to the A’s offense, obviously, is to not pay any attention to it.

So let’s not pay attention as the A’s take on all-star starting pitcher C.C. Sabathia. Before the bottom of each half inning I shall declare a new activity besides watching the game that I am focused on. Meanwhile, Dana Eveland makes his first start as an Athletic. He pitched great in spring training. What are the odds that Eveland ends up having a better year than Dan Haren?

Indians at Oakland, 1:05pm

1.  For what it's worth, I will be gardening at game time.

3.  I'm missing the beginning of the game because my kids are playing Wii on the TV.

4.  Huh. This game isn't on TV, apparently.

Too bad that game wasn't at 7 pm, then you could be an REM fan "Gardening at Night"

(yes, I'm an REM fan ... and I approve of this post)

6.  Bottom 1: I have to call my credit card company. I bought a plane ticket to Europe and now they think my card may have been stolen. I need to set these guys straight.

7.  OK, that worked pretty well. Maybe I'll make lunch for the bottom of the second.

8.  7 Actually, I have some debugging to do, first.

9.  Hmm...maybe this trick only works once a game. Or maybe I was too indecisive about what I was going to do.

10.  OK, bottom 3: lunchtime!

11.  Bottom 4: Dishes.

12.  Time to mow the lawn...

13.  Outside the entire time, gardening, doing errands, etc. Ken and Vince kept me apprised of the situation, however.

Clearly, I have to be driving places for the A's to score. I hope they'll start pitching in with the gas bill.
