My A’s continue to roll. Milone threw six scoreless innings last night to win his third start in a row. Oakland has won six straight against Cleveland. The A’s now have the third best record in the American League even though non-A’s baseball fans would be hard pressed to name more than two guys on the team.
Opening for Iron Maiden at Shoreline a few weeks back was Coheed and Cambria.
I had previously seen the band 3 (or Three) open for Opeth in Oakland. Coheed and Cambria are somewhat similar. Both bands sound great live, but their studio work doesn’t do it for me. Coheed’s last three songs on this evening were particularly good. They did a cover of Black Sabbath’s “Heaven and Hell” followed by their two heaviest and most Maiden-like songs (“In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3” and “Welcome Home”).
Today’s photo isn’t from Japan, although I suppose it could be. I took this photo of the Buddha just prior to the sunset in my hometown of Ashland, Oregon.
I can see why Colon would use testosterone. Low sense of well-being is one symptom of low testosterone and Colon certainly isn’t going to win any beauty pageants. One of the benefits of using testosterone is a reduction in weight for the obese. It’s a shame that testosterone didn’t seem to work for Colon yet he still got the ban.
I took today’s photo earlier this month at an Oakland A’s game, two days after Colon threw 8 scoreless innings against Toronto and three days before he allowed zero earned runs in 7 innings versus the Angels.
We did a little hiking in the mountains near Mt. Shasta in California this past weekend. In today’s photo (covering about 180 degrees) you can see Castle Lake, Heart Lake (lower left corner partially obscured by trees), Black Butte, and (on the far right) Castle Crags.
