Moonlit Jazz

We watched Threshold in “real time” after the A’s game ended. Watching network shows in real time really works my patience. You can actually keep track of how much time passes between commercial breaks and let me tell you, it’s not a pretty thing. The two hour premiere of Threshold had commercial breaks every 10 minutes. TEN MINUTES! I know it’s been awhile since I’ve watched a show as it’s showing, but come on, I know you get more than ten minutes between breaks. And to premiere a show with that many breaks is frustrating. I understand wanting to create suspense, but the constant breaks were ridiculous. I was so longing for my TiVo!

All that said, I enjoyed the show. I must confess, I wanted to watch it because of Brent Spiner. I think he’s a very talented actor and it’s wonderful seeing him in a role other than Data. Besides, who can resist a sci-fi show? Not me! 😆 And the guy who plays Cavannaugh (Brian Van Holt) was pretty cool. 😉

Oh yes, let’s not forget the way the A’s lost. Alas.

Oakland 2, Boston 3 at Fenway Park

Winning pitcher – Mike Timlin (7-2)
Losing pitcher – Juan Cruz (0-3)

Oakland Runs: 2, Hits: 8, Errors 0
Boston Runs: 3, Hits: 7, Errors 0

HR: BOS: David Ortiz (43)

Oakland Record:(81-66)

It was a SUCKY way to lose. The bases were loaded in the bottom of the 10th and Yabu hit the batter to bring the winning run in. Aaaack!!! Now we’re back in second place in the AL West. 🙁
