Against a southpaw, it's important to bench your bad lefties and start your bad righties.

Am I the only one who feels a bit sorry for Oakland?

Yeah we need to feast on the weaker teams, which we’ve done a poor job of this year. Swept by Cleveland at home? Split with Kansas City at home? Yadda yadda yadda. But I still feel bad for the As.

I went to a game at the Coliseum in early July, and I swear they opened the doors to homeless and mentally ill people just to fill the seats. That was better than the empty silence now hands down. Well, silence punctuated by occasional viewers ironically yelling “Here we go Oakland here we go”.

Pedo as in pedometer

He is a fast walker, like a rabbit.

Rabbits are said to hop, but they actually walk. They never land on two feet and technically they are walking or running.

Cats on the other hand, they can land equivocally on all 4’s and that is known as a hop.

White people refer to hops as beer. The blacks refer to hops as in vertical or jumping (see: Wesley Snipes in that movie with the white guy who had a dad who was a murderer).

He might also mean that Luke French likes children.

  How does a Mexican pick his nose? From a mail-order catalogue. What is the title of the Mexican’s favorite how-to-book? “How to Steal, Rape and Murder”. When a Mexican throws a party, what do his guests drive? Their homes – they live in their cars. Why did the Mexican rush to the discount store? The ad said: “Beans for sale!” Why is Mr. Potato Head jealous of Mexicans? Mexicans have a bigger nose. What time is bed time at the Mexican’s house? When the cheap booze runs out. What do Mexicans and a jockeys both ride? Animals. What is the worst stain on aMexicans underwear? Bean. Why does the Mexican disappear for a couple hours after one of his friends leaves? He has to count his plastic silverware. What did the sunbather shout at the Mexican? Ain’t you dark enough already? What is a Mexican’s ideal of a perfect 10? Any White woman he can get. Why did the Mexican racist want his own kid? So he won’t have to harvest his own beans. What repulsive thing can be found in a Mexican’s clothes? The Mexican. What’s brown, stinky and ugly? Any Mexican you have the misfortune to stumble on. Why did Coke fire the Mexican? He kept trying to SNIFF it instead of DRINK it. Why are Mexican’ pants so big? So they can conceal more weapons. What caused the Mexican’s problem? Mother nature. Why do Mexicans relate so well to donkeys? Blood is thicker than water.. What did the Mexican exclaim when he say he returned from the health spa? I need something illegal to smoke and alcoholic to drink. Why does that Mexican have a tough guy reputation? He’s often confused for his mother.

A Canadian walks into a bar and ordered a beer. The bartender replied, "Sorry, we don't serve Canadians in this bar."

“But I’m really thirsty,” the Canadian replied. “I’ll do anything for a beer!”

“Okay,” says the bartender,“if you can do three things, I’ll get you a beer.”

“First,” says the bartender,“do you see that big guy standing by the door? 6’5”, 275 pound ex-NFL linebacker who got thrown out of the league for being too mean and nasty? You gotta knock him out cold and drag him out of the bar. That’s number one."

“Number two. Back in the kitchen we got this Doberman Pinscher. He’s mean, he’s nasty, he’s vicious, he’s hungry, and he’s got a bad tooth. You gotta remove his bad tooth. That’s number two.”

“Number three. Upstairs we got a 70-year-old, 300 pound hooker. You gotta screw her until she climaxes three times. That’s number three.”

“I’ll do it!” screams the Canadian. “What’s first?”

“First is the big guy by the door.”

The Canadian leaps to his feet and runs headfirst into the huge man. The two of them are rolling on the floor with fists and blood flying everywhere. Finally, the Canadian smashes a chair over his head and drags him from the bar.

Panting and bleeding, he askes the bartender, “Okay, what’s next?”

“Number two is the dog in the kitchen.”

The Canadian runs into the kitchen. The bartender hears barking, yelling, snarling, screaming, and jaws snapping, followed by a long, painful howling that obviously came from the dog.

The Canadian runs out of the bar, his clothes all ripped and filthy, and says to the bartender, “Okay, where’s the old lady with the bad tooth?”
