A’s Miracle in the Making!!!
The Daily News
1 The A’s triumphant victory last night should have come as a surprise to virtually no one.
2 Another come-from-behind victory over another overrated team by one of the most underrated teams in baseball.
3 If you watched the A’s right before the All-Star Break, you sensed a miracle finish.
4 I’m looking forward to watching both Bruce Bochy and Bob Melvin manage the playoffs. Right now both look pretty ingenious.
5 What an awesome final day of the season.
6 The Giants played it right yesterday. They had guys out there I didn’t even know we had. I was at meetings all afternoon, and couldn’t even listen to the games.
7 But it was all cool. I was between meetings just as the A’s were about to clinch, but was late for another meeting, so I couldn’t listen.
8 It’s all good. That’s baseball. You keep in tune any way you can.
9 Looking forward to the playoffs. It’s gonna be fun. It might be awesome.
10 We’ll just have to wait and see.
11 The Giants and A’s are there.
12 Nothing else matters.
13 Moving on, Part One: I always hate when I re-read the DN and find serious grammatical errors.
14 Yesterday’s masterpiece had two. Item seven said, “And with all due respect it took to [two] former A’s to beat the Dodgers last night.” Argh. I just type fast. Trust me, I know the difference.
15 And after having corrected six bajillion papers, I wrote this in item ten: “The San Francisco Bulls start there [their] lives this week.”
16 I got away from the school during lunch and read my emails, saw that most of them are suddenly nothing but ads, and began deleting them using my iPhone.
17 I happened upon yesterday’s DN and forgot what I had written, but that I remembered having liked it when I put it to bed.
18 I looked, scrolled, chuckled a little, and then became ungodly remorseful that two idiotic grammatical errors gave an otherwise entertaining effort a black eye.
19 I went into the doldrums for around four seconds when lunch arrived.
20 All was forgiven.
21 I corrected it this morning in the 3 a.m.
22 I don’t have editors. Hell, I’m supposed to be my own editor, but I write this stuff in my sleep.
23 I still go to sleep reasonably early and awaken at sometime in the middle of the night to jot this stuff down.
24 And so it goes. Spelling errors. Are ya kiddin’ meeeeee?
25 Okay I’m over it.
26 Moving on, Part the Second: While on my way to the meeting, some van almost drove into me. It would have been a little dent, but I was on Capitol Expressway, so it also could have been chaotic. It was right when the A’s were about to win it too.
27 It’s scary out there man.
28 AnywayZ…
29 I got through a day that was supposed to be really hectic. If the worst thing that happened was that I used the wrong words in two sentences, I got no probs.
30 I never use the word “problem” any longer.
31 I have substituted “challenge” in order to be politically correct.
33 So I guess I was lexiconically challenged yesterday.
34 Spell check just corrected me. It said “laconically.”
35 La-dee-dah. What, didja have the day off yesterday?
36 I might have also been laconically challenged.
37 I had more items than a Chinese menu.
38 I hope that didn’t offend anyone.
39 I had Chinese food yesterday for lunch.
40 Moving on, Part the Thoid: When I start talking about lunch at 4 a.m. something ain’t right.
41 It is most certainly time to move on.
42 Is it just me or was the debate last night a snore?
43 I tried watching, but those guys looked to me like a couple of windbags. I guess I wasn’t that into it because I was trying to watch baseball, make a little grub, and have some polite conversation.
44 I was also going through getting-grades-done withdrawals.
45 So not much to report. The other half of the world might have blown up, but right now, I’m too tired to look.
46 Hopefully not.
47 So I’m just going to put this to bed, and then put myself back to bed.
48 I still have a saloon to run.
49 So we’ll see you again.
50 Have a great day, and fly low. Thursdays are swell.
51 Peace.
