Been here 38 years.  Have been to different countries and plenty of other states. No place comes close to California for me.

I guess I can understand that, not sure my parents will ever leave, but they hit the housing jackpot twice in very good OC neighborhoods.

Unless you can afford a house over $1 Mill, OC and LA for me just feels too cramped. Way too many people, absurd traffic.

Reverse jinx!

Many of you have brought shame onto yourselves.

Nice! Sandy is off but he is battling. Let’s get him some more runs here. 

[tdawg87]

That should probably be his last inning.

Maybe it should be, but I hope he gets one more, at least.  We have most of our pen unavailable or at the very least not well rested.

AWers just shot themselves in the foot.

When are you guys/gals going to start having more confidence in this team? Our pitching is better, our defense is better, our bats are better. We can get out of these innings. We can score more runs.

I know it's hard to believe but this team has the swag factor they haven't had in a decade. 

Try giving them the benefit of the doubt every once in awhile, I think with 10 games above .500 so far this season they've deserved that.

[UndertheHalo]

We need some help from the offense.  It’s pretty key to get another inning out of Sandoval.

For those who hate FIP, today's performance by Sandoval is a perfect example of its usefulness: His ERA through five innings is 1.80, his FIP 4.32. Obviously the ERA is all we care about in terms of results, but which number better represents how he's actually pitched?

Because so many people want to live here! If this place was a toilet like you describe, why are there too many people with so much traffic? I will just probably never own a house. That's fine with me for now.  In my experience, people that hate California or talk bad about it are just jealous that they don't live there or don't explain why they hate it. There are certainly cons for living here like anywhere else but the PROS BLOW away any other place I've ever been to or even have read about. If I ever did move out of the state for whatever reason, I would try to get back ASAP.

Is this guy wearing a newsie cap.  Lmao

Might have something to do with striking out 11 times

If Oakland is getting rid of everybody, Perry should go get Montas.
