Putting together coherent pieces of writing is harrrrd. That’s why someone cleverly invented the concept of a “potpourri,” which is a fancy name for an excuse to ramble from one idea to the next without connecting any dots. “...But that’s my ex-wife for ya...And hey, what’s up with airplane food?” Smooth.
Today’s potpourri, which you would think would smell better, begins with analysis of a team connected to the A’s in two ways: Farhan Zaidi and the 2008 Oakland team. I am referring to the 2019 San Francisco Giants, who had the great misfortune of going on a 16-3 run to begin the month of July.
