Meanwhile, Jerome Williams is shutting out the A's through 5. Go figure.

How's Keuchel handling the hecklers tonight?

According to baseball-reference.com, at the moment they're 14th in the AL in runs (494) and earned runs (452), but I doubt that includes tonight's effort. But they'll have to up their game to become one of the truly awful teams. It looks like last year they gave up 82 (848-766) unearned runs, and in 2012 they gave up 73 (794-721). At their current rate, they'll give up 785 runs, 718 of them unearned, or 67 unearned runs. The mighty Rays apparently gave up 106 unearned runs in 2001. I'm too lazy to try to figure out a comprehensive list of the worst offenders, but they rate better than I would have expected.

I reckon there are actually a lot more unearned runs than the stats show, scorers don't appear to be too hard on fielders.

Mr Hand ain't that good. This club, without Springer and Fowler, is still a strong contender for 1.1

Boy, that's the truth. I am constantly amazed at the things that are scored as hits. Fielders would not like to have me as the official scorer.

In cricket they say 'catches win matches' and it may be applicable in this game.

I'd rather change the channel when a Bobby Goldsboro song comes on the radio.

Nice recap, counselor. I strongly suspect that Keuchel is a six inning three earnie per night pitcher in the end. Bobby Goldsboro? I haven't heard that name since I was a kid. I remember his sad song "Honey" well. My parents had the 45. (No, you young fucks-I will not explain what a "45" is-just google it). I never liked that song and was always glad when it mercifully ended. I preferred my dad's Luke the Drifter (a/k/a Hank Williams) album. My favorite song on the 78 (again, go away, you young whippersnappers) was "I've Been Down That Road Before." I have it on my ipod. It's great advice for life. There are many times in my life when I should have listened to that advice.

I go to the Galaxy Song for inspiration (and dealing with gratuitous dumbfuckery).

Bobby Goldsboro, Lobo, Terry Jacks, David Gates, Sammy Johns, Henry Gross, David Geddes, bag on those sappy 60s and 70s singers all you like, just don't throw the great Johnny Rivers in with that group.

My folks' rotation featured Burl Ives, Floyd Cramer, Herb Albert, Flatt and Scruggs, and a variety of Broadway shows (Camelot, Funny Girl, Alfie, etc). Naturally, we had one of those big console units with the turntable nested inside. In retrospect, the sound quality must have been dreadful.

Herb Alpert has always been one cool motherfucker.

Yeah, I still enjoy listening to his music. Talk about getting a pure tone out of your instrument.

Mine favored both Herb Alpert and the Baja Marimba Band, with a healthy dose of Hank Williams, Dean Martin, Joe South and a bunch of Dave Gardner records. I took over the console at an early age, but I played the hell out of my parents' records. That was some good stuff.

My mom liked John Denver and my dad liked Jimmie Rodgers. I'm not sure how I ended up like I did.
