The A's are in town. This is something that I have wondered about since I was a kid. Whatever. Currently sitting 3-3 on the homestand...3 of 4 isn't out of the question, hell...this team was 2 blown Thornton saves away from a sweep in April.

Pitching matchups coming when I can actually find them.

It's an elephant because they love America and don't want to take away our freedoms.

Stomper is the mascot of the Oakland Athletics. An elephant adorned with an A's uniform of the number 00. The use of an elephant to symbolize the Athletics dates from the early years of the franchise, when a group of Philadelphia businessmen, headed by industrialist Benjamin Shibe, became the team's first owners. When asked to comment, John McGraw, manager of the New York Giants of the rival National League said something to the effect that "Shibe had bought himself a white elephant." In response, A's manager (and future owner) Connie Mack selected the elephant as the team symbol and mascot. From time to time the elephant has appeared on the Athletic uniform, including 1988 to present.

In 1997, the A's created a new character and called him Stomper. Stomper has performed at several Major League Baseball All-Star Games, and has appeared in a Public Service Announcement against chewing tobacco.

I'm going to the game on Friday. Free tickets from work... The Sox winning percentage when I attend games is amazingly high, so get your bets in for a W on Friday night.

Interesting, Doug. I would have thought it had something to do with Charley Finley.

Boyd, you better watch out. Gary from Evanston is not going to be happy with you... Sini either for that matter.

What's Sini going to do? Post a 3000 word extrapolation on why the Suxpos aren't in Montreal anymore?

Also, Gary from Evanston is going to choke on his tounge one of these days, so I'm not too worried.

I'm in the Expos camp, too. I still sport their hat from time to time.

I still stand by my belief that Youppi is scary, and Wayne Gretzky is gay.

Sox take 3 out of 4. This team is playing well. The defense has been great for the most part (I'm looking at you Morel and Pierre)

I don't know why the A's have an elephant as their mascot. Then again, they traded in one Bob for another, as Bob Geren was fired today in favor of Bob Melvin filling out their lineup card, effective tonight and weather permitting.

SHARK

The lineups are in. Peeps expects nicknames. I expect them to not be as snarky as they have been lately...the team has been playing a little better.

Thank you in advance.

The SCORE's "Dancing Fool" Matt Rodewald says that Adam Dunn is back in tonight's lineup, but I can't find it anywhere at this time.

The broad sitting behind the Sox on deck circle in the striped sweater is really hot.
