Jim Johnson made his Detroit debut this week. If you blinked you may have missed it since he didn’t even last a minute but he was in regular form.
Ok guys, sure JJ gave up 3 runs in 2/3 of an inning. But only ONE was earned! Hahaha

Fake Fosse has a four week win streak when it comes to appearing on this feature. He also had nobody to pleasure on the evening of this tweet. The A’s lost.
I will personally pleasure the man that wins this game for Oakland.

In anticipation of this upcoming week of baseball, A’s fans have taken to public prayer…
and bribery…
Dear @RedSox,

How about helping the #Athletics out & getting yourself something nice? :D#HatsandTats
After Vogt’s hilarious MLB Network bit about refs, everyone wants to be a basketball referee.
This tweet seems to combine everything the twitterverse has complained about the A’s into one concise statement.
The lovely Miss Melvin has a new crush…
And Chris is eating Miss Melvin’s crush for dinner.

Seems like a solid winning strategy.
Nothing unites baseball fans more than their distaste for those blind guys in blue.
Of course, nothing unites A’s fans as much as their love for Kuiper and Fosse. Accept no substitutions.
The only thing Shooty said that made any sense is proclaiming my greatness as 3rd base coach! @ShootyBlabitt @FakeshootyB

My dog Stella turns 5 today and now she says she's too old to be called "Puppy". Apparently it's "Business Dog" now. pic.twitter.com/maroKqAhVo
