Ok, I can declare an end to the boycott now. The A's have won their last two, against the Tigers and Orioles, and now lead 8-0 in the third inning against Baltimore. Joe Kennedy has apparently been tabbed to start in Rich Harden's place. This, I think, is exactly why the A's wanted to acquire him. He has some talent, and can be an asset out of the bullpen, but he's also a starting pitcher. He can make that spot start that they need from him, and, if they can get him straightened out to their satisfaction, could be in line for a starter's job next year.

How's law school, you ask? Going swimmingly. I'm scared out of my mind for Monday. So, exactly what I expected.
