It feels like Ive done everything to lose weight over the past three years: keto, juicing, fasting, running marathons, weight loss competitions, trainers, doctors etc... I guess the point is I haven’t given up yet... it’s been a lot of ups and downs but I’m down 80lbs and fitting into my fancy clothes.

Lifelong A's fan living in Seattle. Two weeks ago I took my son to an A's game up here. He got a ball from batting practice and a foul ball during the game. He's hooked! He has asked me every day since when are the A's playing here again? We'll be at tonights game! Go A's!

He did it again! This is the ball Triggs struck out Nelson with to end the Bottom of the Third. Lucroy jogged straight over and threw it to him 13 rows deep. Seriously, I had to explain that “this doesn’t happen all the time!” 3 balls in 2 games!
