The A’s lost yesterday but won today. They won in a big way. Gotta love it!

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. (more…)

Now I’m a happy A’s chick again. 😛

My sister works there… The newlyweds live there… Site of the wedding… A family luncheon…

I really enjoyed my vacation. Ah well.

My A’s are making me MAD! (more…)

The A’s shouldn’t have lost this game. Kirk Saarloos threw six shut out innings and the bullpen couldn’t hold on. BAH!

I still feel out of touch with my baseball. I so loved being on vacation… (more…)

Next to the big A’s baseball at Turner Field… Tim Hudson on the HUGE HD display at Turner Field… Dropping my bill into Bordick’s bucket at Oriole Park… Eric Byrnes at the plate…

I figure I should get this over with now. 😉 (more…)
