This is very reminiscent of 2010, when a Republican won Ted Kennedy’s old seat in the Democratic stronghold of MA. Plus, it makes Trump look fuckin’ weak. Were I a Republican, I’d be getting ready to bite the pillow, because it looks like the Dems are going in dry in 2018.

Truly it is an affront to Papa-John’s-garlic-sauce-blooded Americans everywhere.

I CAN’T TELL IF THIS IS A JOKE ANYMORE!

We watched him whip... Now, he must nay-nay!

Yeah, I still hold out hope that the apparently perfect chemistry and makeup of this team holds them together and they can win some silverware this year. And I don’t know why, but this group just feels totally different than Bale. I never really expected Bale to stay. And I can’t say that I actually expect this core…

Plus, did you do the vent delete (is that still a thing on the newer sportwagens?) ? I did it on my old 03 TDI and got 1.5 more gals capacity by filling up the entire filler neck. 800+ mile range is sweet.

Do you ever stop to think about the fact that less than a year ago Barack Obama was President?

you mean aside from their blatant racism, right?

“Agreed” - Putin

Not to make you feel bad JujyMonkey, but you have a 9 year old.

So that really is what this is all about- the A’s wanting to get out of that neighborhood. Trying to draw people who are too scared to go to the A’s home of the last 50+ years, all while pumping up their “Oakland pride.”

What a child wants and what a child needs are often completely different things.

I think of them as the financial paparazzi.

Pumpin, I’ve been dying to show you. I got my petaissance print done on canvas after your post 2 weeks ago and I just love it. Every time I walk by it, it makes me smile.

Just had my year anniversary with this rescue dog. She’s come a long way from the shivering mess I had to peel off the windows on the first night.

Emma, the source of all joy and light in my life, rescued from a animal hoarder at age 2. Now is a total cuddle bug who likes to be the little spoon.

I fostered a couple and found good homes for them but then THIS one came along and I fell in love. She had a ton of issues - mange, ear and jaw infection, massive separation anxiety - the works. But the heart wants what the heart wants. 10 years next month!

Gus was rescued right from the source: outside. His previous people moved and left him behind, so he came poking around my house looking for a new mom/slave.

This is my best friend, nurse, bed buddy, and longtime companion. She was a rescue we got when she was a year old. She’s a active senior lady of 13 now. She was so scared and skittish at first and now she is such a diva! I can’t think of too many beings I’ve loved more than my Kelly.
