I wonder if he still drinks 2 espressos before games (did he say caramel macchiatos back then) like he did his first time around in 2001, when he hit 37 HRs.
Also, I was in attendance with good 'ol Tommy for the A's first $2 Wednesday of the year, versus the Angels (or Angles, or Angees, apparently (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Riggs)
For the newbies- much love, and I go here for quickly-updated scores:

They update quickly, with less ads that take time to load (on dialup like at my folks house).
Today's Featured Obscure Player (FOP) of the day: Pete La Forest (http://www.tsn.ca/mlb/teams/players/bio/?id=3553&hubname=mlb-padres),
a Canuck who is finally getting his big-league chance.
He had great power in the minors, and was great in my Baseball Mogul game, when I turned around the TB Drays, but that was half-fantasy. Now he's off to a good start. I'm not picking him up for my fantasy team, the Fremont F's, just yet though, because I'd have to drop:
-Mark Burly Buehrle, who tossed a 6-0 NO-HITTER vs. Texas tonight. Haven't seen film yet, and he walked one, with no errors for the ChiSox. Glad I kept him on my team, after he was hit in the arm by a liner earlier this month. The Yahoo preview before the game said:
Buehrle tries for his first win of the season against the Rangers, who have caused him some problems lately.
The left-hander won his first seven starts against Texas, posting a 1.79 ERA in those games, but has gone just 1-3 with a 5.28 ERA in his last four starts against them. He was 1-2 with a 5.32 ERA against them last season.
and the wrapup of the boxscore showed these nuggets of beauty:| CHICAGO PITCHER MARK BUEHRLE HAS A NO-HITTER THROUGH SIX INNINGS. |
| CHICAGO PITCHER MARK BUEHRLE HAS A NO-HITTER THROUGH SEVEN INNINGS. |
| CHICAGO PITCHER MARK BUEHRLE HAS A NO-HITTER THROUGH EIGHT INNINGS. |
| CHICAGO PITCHER MARK BUEHRLE HAS A NO-HITTER THROUGH 8 1/3 INNINGS. |
| CHICAGO PITCHER MRK BUEHRLE HAS A NO-HITTER THROUGH 8 2/3 INNINGS. |
| CHICAGO PITCHER MARK BUEHRLE HAS THROWN A NO-HITTER. |
Boy, who wouldn't want to see that at the bottom of their boxscore, eay?
So much for guess-timation, based on previous stats.
Mark Burly, the Fremont F's thank you...
