Game 121 Overflow Thread

Ron_swanson_tiny by Ian Casselberry on Comment 490 comments

Edwin Jackson seems to have settled down after a bit of a shaky start, and Ryan Raburn looks like an A's-kicker out there with two home runs.

How are you holding up?  Still awake with us?  Tigers 2, Athletics 1 going to the sixth inning.

This is a FanPost and does not necessarily reflect the views of the Bless You Boys writing staff. However, it does reflect the views of this particular fan, which is as important as anything else written here at BYB.

Can you pack Raburns glove too? Then maybe he wouldn’t be able to play the field.

My old band was called "Any Old Stranger"

my new band is called “Moss Rocket” Not to be confused with my solo music (linked below).

does this sound like a shameless plug or an interesting personal tidbit? You decide.

when I was in college

Some friends were starting a band. They were asking for names – after they heard “Primordial Soup” and “Endoplasmic Reticulum” and “Messenger RNA” they decided that asking biology majors wasn’t the best idea (although I also suggested “Plate Tectonics”).

So I’m a Hatfield and you’re a McCoy.

really all you need is a decent 18-55 or so, and then a great zoom lens. Well that’s all I need. I find a lot of the range in the middle is wasted on a lens.

yeah

the 18-55 for taking photos of people you’re with and cool stadium wide angles. then the 200+ for the action.

I’ve shot a whole lot of indoor sports in my life, thus the need for 2.8.
