I just got back from a 3-day, 2-night field trip with 7th graders, during which time the A's were kind enough not to make me miss a victory. What is an overnight trip with 7th graders like? Essentially there are lots of mood swings, and anything related to flatulence is inherently hilarious. So basically it's a lot like AN. The campfire was fun. We lit it with the A's bullpen.
Speaking of bullpens, as we find ourselves doing so often these days, it is hard to predict or explain which relievers will excel or tank from year to year, sometimes even from week to week.
