What Are These Things Called Runs?
Dear Oakland A’s,
I think it was awfully nice of you to stop scoring runs between the game I attended on Saturday in Anaheim and last night’s contest against the White Sox, which, thanks to a business trip to the Bay Area, I was also able to attend in person.
But really — you don’t have to restrict scoring to those few occassion in which I am in the building. It doesn’t seem like the best strategy for winning baseball, and it’s awfully inconsiderate toward your other patrons, as well.
Like I said, I’m flattered that you only seem to score runs at games I go to. But I could maybe see you stand to plate one or two runners when circumstances require me to be elsewhere.
Hope you understand,
Your pal Phil
P.S. — More on last night’s bowling-shoe ugly win — including an escalation in our one-man campaign to banish Eric Byrnes from Alameda County — when I am not under the deadline gun.

Hack Alert: I Hate The Yankees. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=caple/piniella/050429
In a top 10 list that apparently passes for one complete article, Caple lists as one of the top 10 things Lou Pinella has forgotten about baseball: "That while it stinks to manage a last-place team, it really, really stinks to manage a team owned by George Steinbrenner".
Hack Alert Update: Apparently Caple has an I Hate The Yankees BOOK out as well, as seen at jimcaple.com.
