A's Bats Look HOT

Before we begin. He was out. Jerry Meals blew it. Terrible. Horrific. But that's baseball.



I've watched it many many times. It was so close, I totally understand what Meals saw in the 19th inning. However, on that play, where Lugo is dead to rights, almost giving himself up, I think you have to give McKenry the benefit of the doubt. If you are going to have either team win that game, it better be because they earned it, not because you think a player missed a dead to rights tag. In the end, it's an unfortunate ending to a brilliantly played game. Kudos to both teams.

Oh, yes, the A's won too! And they won in style.

Mascot/Team Name Royal Rumble

Sometimes I get to thinking. Though this usually has negative results, every once in a while an idea passes across my frontal lobe that's just too amazing to ignore. During an A's game last week, a few friends and I got to talking about how baseball mascots, as a whole, are none too threatening. But what if we had a mascot playoffs? We take the 8 leanest, meanest mascots (read: team names), and put them in a royal rumble with each other. Let's see who comes out on top.
