The following words are verboten for at least a week:

Baseball
Athletics
Oakland
Closer
Pitching

Please do not utter these words in my presence if you value your life. Thank you.

Oh, and another one:

Rotisserie

after the 13 hitters on my fantasy baseball team produced one run, five hits, and one RBI yesterday. Thank God for Roger Clemens. He even hits better than a lot of my position players -- I'm talkin' to you, Randy if-you-spell-it-wrong-it-doesn't-count-as-a Winn -- not that I get credit for pitcher hitting.
