And yet... I always manage to forget one item on my grocery list. 

lol, I'm the same can recite Cal Ripken's 1983 stats from memory and forget to grab milk when I go to the store even when that's the reason I went out.

The only thing, the ONLY thing that could have made that Mountcastle grand slam any better would have been Palmer reminding everyone that he never gave one up. That kills me every time. 

But it is quite the record considering the amount of innings he pitched.

Plate ump has been solid but I hate his slow call.

And somehow I always come home with some sort of sausage

I will try to find the article. They raised ticket prices and concessions  the last two years to piss off their 3,000 fans.

A's finances: In the red or the black as team pursues a new stadium?

They've been trying to get the city of Oakland to pay for a new stadium for years now.  Local voters aren't interested in doing so.  And we all know how interested teams are in funding their own stadiums when they can simply get the taxpayers to fund most of it instead.

So the A's sit and stagnate, neither side moves, and the A's attendance is dropping through the floor.  Feels like the only way out of the stalemate is a team move to an interested city.

Kind of depressing tbh.  They've been a fairly well run franchise too.  And the uniforms are great.  

No way NorCal can't support two MLB teams.

Yeah but he pitched around guys even with the bases loaded.  He even walked eight guys when he had a no hitter.  Palmer just wouldnt give in.

Is that to win 4+ games for the year?

Yet he won 4 Cy Young awards and is in the Hall of Fame!

MASN really needs to start showing some of these replays of questionable calls, like that swinging strike called by the 3rd base umpire.

He got a standing ovation in the enemies park.  The fans were that impressed.

Didn't he hit one that could have been #4 to the warning track for an out?  Pretty sure I stayed up past my bedtime listening to that one on the radio.

Feeling like you’d be glad to have seen this one, eh?

That would be added production costs to MASN. Can't you think of the starving Angelos brothers.
